Paperback. Zustand: Good. Many of us know little more about Archimedes (287-212 B.C.) than his famous exclamation of "Eureka!" upon discovering that the spillage of water produced by an immersed object reveals the object's volume. That seemingly simple insight helped establish the key principles of buoyancy that govern the flotation of everything from boats to balloons. Archimedes also had a profound impact on the development of mathematics and science, from the value of pi to the size of the universe. His reputation during his lifetime swelled to mythic proportions for his feats of engineering and his ingenious use of levers, pulleys, and ropes. Eureka Man brings to life the genius of Archimedes and chronicles the remarkable saga of the Archimedes Palimpsest-the long-lost manuscript rediscovered in the twentieth century, a vivid reminder that Archimedes' cumulative record of accomplishment places him among the exalted ranks of Aristotle, Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and Albert Einstein.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Welcome to the Universe! Take your students on an exciting journey through the universe with Dr. Hirshfeld's Astronomy Activity and Laboratory Manual! Through a series of twenty in-class, modestly mathematical, paper-and-pencil activities, students review the epic advancement of astronomical thought, from the rudimentary observations of prehistoric skywatchers to the development of modern astrophysics in the 20th century. In following the groundbreaking work of some of history's most famous astronomers, students better appreciate the fruits of modern research. Astronomy Activity and Laboratory Manual, Second Edition supplies what is missing from the standard introductory college astronomy course; the essential story line that tells how astronomers came to know as much as they do about the universe. The activities require no specialized instructor training, equipment or individual materials beyond a pencil, straightedge, and standard calculator. They are designed for use in a classroom of any size and are an easy way to introduce active-learning into the teaching of astronomy. The activities are also ideal for individual homework assignments or team study. The necessary mathematical background - basic elements of high-school algebra, geometry, and trigonometry - is introduced on an as-needed basis for each activity and is summarized in the Appendix. This learn-by-doing approach will engage and excite your introductory astronomy students.…

Zustand: Good. : Parallax narra la épica historia de uno de los desafíos más grandes de la astronomía observacional: la medición de la distancia a las estrellas. A través de un relato que abarca milenios, desde los antiguos griegos hasta el siglo XIX, Alan Hirshfeld revive la competencia entre tres astrónomos que, equipados con los mejores telescopios de su época, lucharon por conquistar este 'Everest astronómico'.La obra entrelaza el rigor científico con una narrativa vibrante llena de rivalidades, locura y heroísmo. Desde un joven rescatado de un edificio derrumbado que se convierte en un maestro fabricante de telescopios, hasta un músico que descubre un nuevo planeta desde su jardín, Hirshfeld ilumina el lado profundamente humano de la ciencia y los descubrimientos que cambiaron nuestra percepción del cosmos.
