Zustand: Gut. 386 Seiten / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - A world-renowned cosmologist and an innovative writer on the history and philosophy of science present a new, scientifically supported understanding of the universe, one that profoundly changes our relationship to the cosmos. -- For thousands of years, humans thought of themselves as central to the universe and created symbols and myths to make sense of the world and their special place in it. When Copernicus and Galileo shattered the view of Earth as the center of the universe, we turned away from the intuitive symbols that had sustained our ancestors, and for the past four hundred years we have seen ourselves as adrift, living on an inconsequential rock in an endless expanse of space. -- But recent discoveries in astronomy, physics, and cosmology have uncovered an astonishing truth: Humans actually are central to the universe in profound and important ways that derive directly from scienceways that Copernicus and Galileo could never have imagined. -- In this strikingly original book, Joel R. Primack and Nancy Ellen Abrams argue that, for the first time in human history, a scientific theory of the universe as a whole is emerginga theory that explains how the universe operates, what its made of, where it came from, and how its evolving. Drawing from the latest discoveries and ideas in astrophysics and cosmology, Primack and Abrams show how we are indeed central to the universe and what this might mean for our culture and our personal lives. The result is revolutionary: a science-based cosmology that allows us to understand the universe as a whole and our extraordinary place in it. We are the first generation, the authors explain, capable of grasping what the nature of the universe may imply about Earthand how this knowledge can be used to protect the long-term future of our planet. -- Primack is one of the worlds leading cosmologists and an originator and developer of the theory of Cold Dark Matter, now accepted as the standard theory of the structure and evolution of the universe, while Abrams is a gifted writer who expresses the life-changing significance of these cosmic discoveries. They have written a book that requires from us no prior scientific knowledge and that satisfies our fundamental need for meaning in our world and in our lives. Lyrical and readable, yet fact-based and rigorous, The View from the Center of the Universe is a fascinating exploration for all of us who have ever wondered how we fit into the universe.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Nicolle Rager Fuller (illustrator). First Printing [Stated]. [10], 386, [4] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Signed by both authors on the title page. Some ink underlining, comments and other marks noted. Some page discoloration noted. Draws on recent advances in astronomy, physics, and cosmology to present a theory of how to understand the universe and the role of our own world, in an account that offers insight into the origins and evolutionary coherence of the universe as well as its spiritual significance. For a decade, Primack and Abrams had been co-teaching a course on Cosmology and culture, from which this book developed. Joel R. Primack (born July 14, 1945) is a professor of physics and astrophysics at the University of California, Santa Cruz and is a member of the Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics. Primack received his A.B. from Princeton University in 1966 and his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1970. His fields of study are relativistic quantum field theory, cosmology, and particle astrophysics. He is also involved in supercomputer simulations of dark matter models. He directs the University of California High-Performance AstroComputing Center (UC-HiPACC). Primack is best known for his co-authorship with George Blumenthal, Sandra Moore Faber, and Martin Rees of the theory of cold dark matter (CDM) in 1984. He co-authored two books with Nancy Abrams, The View from the Center of the Universe (2006) and The New Universe and the Human Future (2011). He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Nancy Ellen Abrams has a degree in the history and philosophy of science from the University of Chicago and a law degree from the University of Michigan. With her husband, world-renowned cosmologist Joel R. Primack, she co-authored a prizewinning article on quantum cosmology and Kabbalah, as well as numerous articles on science policy, space policy, and possible cultural implications of modern cosmology. She works as a scholar to put the discoveries of modern cosmology into a cultural context. In this strikingly original book, a world-renowned cosmologist and an innovative writer of the history and philosophy of science uncover an astonishing truth: Humans actually are central to the universe. What does this mean for our culture and our personal lives? The answer is revolutionary: a science-based cosmology that allows us to understand the universe as a whole and our extraordinary place in it.
