Paperback. Zustand: Used; Good. This bright and brilliant red vintage book is a 1936 edition of The Penrose Mystery by R. Austin Freeman! This is an excellently written 'Dr. Thorndyke' detective novel. Mr. David Penrose is an eccentric old man, with an odd and facetious manner of speaking, who - though apparently ignorant of antiques - has collected in his London house a large hoard of miscellaneous objects, including some obviously valuable gems about which he is most secretive. For some reason he is reluctant to take out an insurance policy. Three months later Dr. Thornfyke hears of a strange mystery that has developed. Title: The Penrose Mystery Author: R. Austin Freeman Publisher: Pan Books Publication Date: 1936 Format: Softcover Condition: This book is in good condition for its age other than some minor signs of wear, age spots and tanned pages.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book introduces and explores some of the deep connections between Einstein's theory of gravitation and differential geometry. As an outgrowth of graduate summer schools, the presentation is aimed at graduate students in mathematics and mathematical physics, starting from the foundations of special and general relativity, and moving to more advanced results in geometric analysis and the Einstein constraint equations. Topics include the formulation of the Einstein field equation and the Einstein constraint equations; gluing construction of initial data sets which are Schwarzschild near infinity; and an introduction to the Riemannian Penrose inequality. While the book assumes a background in differential geometry and real analysis, a number of basic results in geometry are provided. There are well over 100 exercises, many woven into the fabric of the chapters as well as others collected at the end of chapters, to give readers a chance to engage and extend the text.

softcover, 240 pages, illustrated with 200 coloured illustrations, 24,5 x 30 cm. ISBN 9781906270971. Surreal Encounters: Collecting the Marvellous. Works from the Collections of Roland Penrose, Edward James, Gabrielle Keiller and Ulla and Heiner Pietzsch provides an exceptional overview of Surrealism, bringing together important works by artists including Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, Rene Magritte and Joan Miro. The essays, written by leading scholars such as Dawn Ades and Elizabeth Cowling, provide an insight into the way that four key collections of surrealist art were formed and the motivations behind their creation. It is not surprising that the ways in which surrealist art has been collected display many of the idiosyncratic passions of Surrealism itself. The four collections shown in this book ? those formed by Roland Penrose (1900?84), Edward James (1907?84), Gabrielle Keiller (1908?95) and Ulla and Heiner Pietzsch (who have been collecting Surrealism since the 1970s) ? have different origins, trajectories, and historical contexts and come out of different creative urges. When these four collections are brought together, they create a many-faceted glimpse of the ?marvellous?, which Andre Breton, the chief theorist of the movement, defined in his first surrealist manifesto of 1924 as follows: ?The marvellous is always beautiful, anything marvellous is beautiful, in fact only the marvellous is beautiful.? The book accompanies the exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh from 4 June to 11 September 2016, organised in conjunction with the Hamburger Kunsthalle and Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, and will be shown in Hamburg from 7 October 2016 to 22 January 2017 and in Rotterdam from 11 February to 28 May 2017. 0 g.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Professor Sir Roger Penrose's work, spanning fifty years of science, with over five thousand pages and more than three hundred papers, has been collected together for the first time and arranged chronologically over six volumes, each with an introduction from the author. Where relevant, individual papers also come with specific introductions or notes. Among the new developments that occurred during this period was the introduction of a particular notion of 'quasi-local mass-momentum and angular momentum', the topic of Penrose's Royal Society paper. Many encouraging results were initially obtained but, later, difficulties began to emerge and remain today. Also, an extensive paper (with Eastwood and Wells) gives a thorough account of the relation between twistor cohomology and massless fields. This volume witnesses Penrose's increasing conviction that the puzzling issue of quantum measurement could only be resolved by the appropriate unification of quantum mechanics with general relativity, where that union must involve an actual change in the rules of quantum mechanics as well as in space-time structure. Penrose's first incursions into a possible relation between consciousness and quantum state reduction are also covered here.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Professor Sir Roger Penrose's work, spanning fifty years of science, with over five thousand pages and more than three hundred papers, has been collected together for the first time and arranged chronologically over six volumes, each with an introduction from the author. Where relevant, individual papers also come with specific introductions or notes. This sixth volume describes an actual experiment to measure the length of time that a quantum superposition might last (developing the Diósi-Penrose proposal). It also discusses the significant progress made in relation to incorporating the 'googly' information for a gravitational field into the structure of a curved twistor space. Penrose also covers such things as the geometry of light rays in relation to twistor-space structures, the utility of complex numbers in drawing three-dimensional shapes, and the geometrical representation of different types of musical scales. The turn of the millennium was also an opportunity to reflect on progress in many areas up until that point.

Hardcover. 1932. 8vo., 23cm, xix,218p., on laid paper, This Edition Limited to Forty Copies, this be No. 6., bound in full vellum, t.e.g., rest uncut, mainly unopened, with new crushed morocco label stamped in gilt and with new linen slipcase, a fine copy (tgc) First Penguin Press edition, a reprint of Jobson's historical work, first published in 1623, it is one of the earliest English protests against the African slave trade. Jobson provides a fascinating, and for the time remarkably dispassionate, description of the life and manners of the West African native peoples. He relates the story of the second voyage to the Gambia undertaken for 'The Company of Adventurers of Africa Trading into Africa', formed by Sir Robert Rich, under a charter granted by King James I in 1618. It is a remarkably detailed description of African culture, living conditions and rituals at a time when the interior was largely unknown. This is probably the first separate English account of a travel to the interior of Africa. Boies Penrose, in Travel and Discovery in the Renaissance 1420-1620, mentions 'Africa, unlike Asia, has little in the way of English accounts of travel in this early period; perhaps a mere handful of relations are all that call for comment.' He then outlines the four major English accounts of travel in Africa: Wyndham and Lok in the 1555 collection of Eden; Robert Baker (printed in the 1589 Hakluyt); Andrew Battel (printed in Purchas); and Jobson's The Golden Trade, which was the only account to be published separately.
