Inhaltsangabe
In 140 pages, two masterly popularisers present 140 explanations of the biggest questions in physics - in the form of 10 or so tweets per page. They set themselves the challenge of boiling down what is essential on each subject into sentences of 140 characters, and the results are both entertaining and brilliantly informative. Not a word is wasted. The reader is not patronized and learns something on every page. If only all science writing could be so precise and so economical. Only science writers of a very high calibre could achieve such compression. Marcus Chown - "the finest cosmology writer of our day" (Matt Ridley) - has known the Dutch writer Govert Schilling for twenty years. Schilling pioneered this very swift form of explanation in a Dutch newspaper, and suggested to Chown that they collaborate on bringing it to a wider audience. "Tweeting the Universe" is unlike any other science book.

Anbieter: Book Haven, Wellington, WLG, Neuseeland
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Two master science writers answer 140 of the biggest questions in physics, distilling the essence of each subject into tweets of 140 characters. Marcus Chown and Govert Schilling take us on a unique tour of the universe, covering everything, from the most basic question - Why is the sky dark at night? and Why do stars twinkle? - to the most challenging - What are quasars? and What happened before the big bang? Some of the questions in this brilliantly informative book are as surprising as the answers. Is it possible that all the galaxies we see in our telescopes are nothing but an optical illusion? Could you swim on Saturn's moon, Titan? Why doesn't the Moon fall down? (Not a stupid question, it turns out). And would Saturn float in a big enough bath of water? DJ; Owner's Name inside. 311 pages. Artikel-Nr. 1581963
