Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Fourteen year old Elizabeth Wiley is about to begin her studies at Bale's Christian Academy, the most prestigious Christian school in the country. It is an event that has brought excitement to her and her entire family.Her excitement is overshadowed by anxiety and fear, however, because Elizabeth has a secret, and it's one that could bring dire consequences for her if the faculty should discover it.Soon after her arrival, Elizabeth is befriended by Sakira Jones, a Senior and the most popular girl at school. With her new best friend, Elizabeth's own popularity soars and everything starts working out for her. Her joy and success is short lived however. For soon Elizabeth finds herself caught in the middle of a spiritual war with a malevolent presence that has blanketed the campus of Bale's Christian Academy; an unspeakable evil that only the sacrifice of human blood, of Elizabeth's blood, may be able to satisfy.

First edition of the fundamental text on superstring theory. Octavo, original cloth. From the library of Stephen Hawking. Hawking was a theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author who was director of research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology at the University of Cambridge at the time of his death. Hawking's scientific works included a collaboration with Roger Penrose on gravitational singularity theorems in the framework of general relativity and the theoretical prediction that black holes emit radiation, often called Hawking radiation. He was the first to set out a theory of cosmology explained by a union of the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. Hawking may be one of the most recognizable of theoretical physicists in part due to ALS, which gradually paralyzed him over the decades. After the loss of his speech, he was able to communicate through a speech-generating deviceâ"initially through use of a handheld switch, and eventually by using a single cheek muscle. He is also well known since he achieved commercial success with several works of popular science in which he discussed his theories and cosmology in general. His book A Brief History of Time appeared on the Sunday Times bestseller list for a record-breaking 237 weeks. A wonderful connection to this book, which Hawking likely used in his development of his final paper based on string theory, called "A Smooth Exit from Eternal Inflation", which had its latest revisions approved on March 4, ten days before Hawking's death. Hawking met the authors at many conferences, as they were in the same field, including at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai. Both volumes are near fine in near fine dust jackets. Housed in a custom half morocco and chemise clamshell box. An exceptionally desirable provenance. Published during a period of rapid progress in superstring theory, Green, Schwarz, and Witten's two volumes on the subject were highly influential for a generation of students and researchers. A self-contained introduction to superstrings, Volume 1 begins with an elementary treatment of the bosonic string, before describing the incorporation of additional degrees of freedom: fermionic degrees of freedom leading to supersymmetry and internal quantum numbers leading to gauge interactions. The second volume is concerned largely with the evaluation of one-loop amplitudes, the study of anomalies, and phenomenology. "At a 1990 conference on cosmology," wrote John Horgan in 2014, "I asked attendees, who included folks like Stephen Hawking, Michael Turner, James Peebles, Alan Guth and Andrei Linde, to nominate the smartest living physicist. Edward Witten got the most votes (with Steven Weinberg the runner-up). Some considered Witten to be in the same league as Einstein and Newton.

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. 202x252mm; pp. [4, red card 'sign conventions'], xxvi, [4]. STEPHEN HAWKING'S COPY OF 'MTW', THE LEGENDARY BOOK ON GRAVITATION, REVIEWED BY HIM IN NATURE. Under the title 'General Relativity' Hawking reviewed the book in Nature (21 June 1974), stating that "the book is a major landmark in the field' and correctly foreseeing that would 'become the most widely used textbook and reference work on the subject." More than this praise, however, Hawking uses his review to expound on an issue very close to his heart: the relationship between quantum physics and general relativity: "During the period 1920-1960," he writes, "the most exciting field of physics seemed to be quantum theory. The success of quantum electrodynamics led most physicists to feel that physics was Feynman diagrams. They distrusted general relativity because of its classical and geometric nature. [. . .] But geometric insights have played an important part in many of the outstanding recent theoretical developments such as black holes, space-time singularities and gravitational radiation. The answer therefore seems to be not to free general relativity from geometry but to teach geometry to nhvsicists brought up on the normal ideas of special relativity; that is, to teach them to regard space-time as a differentiable manifold and not as a flat vector space. This is what Misner, Thorne and Wheeler have set out to do in their book." Given the enormous size and weight of the book it is hard not to wonder at Hawking's reading of it, and sure enough he does comment on this, wryly, at the end of his review, noting that the book is "well printed and bound and the paperback version is cheap for a book of this size." Although generally unmarked, there is a pencil mathematical annotation in the chapter on black holes. Tantalizing as this is, we do not claim that the note is by Hawking, as his handwriting had already deteriotated markedly by 1973. 'MTW' is rightly understood as a classic in the exposition of general relativity. In 2003 Hawking's collaborater James Hartle wrote that "Over thirty years since its publication, Gravitation is still the most comprehensive treatise on general relativity. An authoritative and complete discussion of almost any topic in the subject can be found within its 1300 pages. It also contains an extensive bibliography with references to original sources. Written by three twentieth-century masters of the subject, it set the style for many later texts on the subject". Hawking himself returned to the text a number of times, notably in his and Werner Israel's book 'Three Hundred Years of Gravitation' (Cambridge, 1987). An outstanding association copy: provenance comes via the Cambridge bookshop that handled Hawking's personal library and is indicated by a custom bookplate. Good condition: quite well used, spine marked from repeated opening, top edge lightly spotted; faint damp marking to the lower edge of the final quarter or so of the book.
