Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Is everything Information This is a tantalizing question which emerges in modern physics, life sciences, astronomy and in today's information and technology-driven society. InPowers of Twoexpert authorsundertake a unique expedition - in words and images -throughout the world (and scales)of information. The story resembles, in a way, the classicPowers ofTenjourneys through space:from us to the macro and the micro worlds . However, by followingPowers of Twothrough the world of information, a completely different and timely paradigm unfolds. Every power of two, 1, 2, 4, 8. tells us a different story: startingfrom the creation of the very first bit at the Big Bang and the evolution of life, through 50 years of computational science, and finally into deep space,describing the information in black holes and even in the entire universe and beyond. All this to address onequestion: Is our universe made of information In this book, we experience the Information Universe in nature and in our society and how informationlies at the very foundationof our understanding of the Universe.From the Foreword by Robbert Dijkgraaf: This book is in many ways a vastly extended version of Shannon's one-page blueprint. It carries us all the way to the total information content of the Universe. And it bears testimony of how widespread the use of data has become in all aspects of life. Information is the connective tissue of the modern sciences. [.]Undoubtedly, future generations will look back at this time, so much enthralled by Big Data and quantum computers, as beholden to the information metaphor. But that is exactly the value of this book. With its crisp descriptions and evocative illustrations, it brings the reader into the here and now, at the very frontier of scientific research, including the excitement and promise of all the outstanding questions and future discoveries.Message for the e-reader of the book Powers of TwoThe book has been designed to be read in two-page spreads in full screen mode.For optimal reader experience in a downloaded .pdf file we strongly recommend you use the following settingsin Adobe Acrobat Reader: -Taskbar: View > Page Display > two page view -Taskbar: View >Page Display > Show Cover Page in Two Page View -Taskbar:^ Preferences > Full Screen > deselect ' Fill screen with one page at a time' - Taskbar: View > Full screen modeorctrl L (cmd L on a Mac)\*\*\*\*\*Note: for reading the previews onSpinger link(andon-line reading in a browser), the full screen two-page view only works with these browsers:Firefox- Taskbar: on top of the text, at the uppermost right you will see then >> (which is a drop-down menu) >>even double pages- Fullscreen: F11 or Control+Cmd+F with MacEdge- Taskbar middle:Two-page viewand selectshow cover page separately.…
