Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Learn about Einstein's theory of relativity from a physics Nobel laureate and 'one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century' (New York Review of Books) in six memorable lessons It was Richard Feynman's outrageous and scintillating method of teaching that earned him legendary status among students and professors of physics. From 1961 to 1963, Feynman delivered a series of lectures at the California Institute of Technology that revolutionized the teaching of physics.In Six Not-So-Easy Pieces, taken from these famous Lectures on Physics, Feynman delves into one of the most revolutionary discoveries in twentieth-century physics: Einstein's theory of relativity. The idea that the flow of time is not a constant, that the mass of an object depends on its velocity, and that the speed of light is a constant no matter what the motion of the observer, at first seemed shocking to scientists and laymen alike.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Teddy Roosevelt once exclaimed, 'When I am in California, I am not in the West. I am west of the West,' and in this book, Mark Arax spends four years travelling up and down the Golden State to explore its singular place in the world. This is California beyond the clichÃ(c) This is California as only a native son, deep in the dust, could draw it. Compelling, lyrical, and ominous, his new collection finds a different drama rising out of each confounding landscape. 'The Summer of the Death of Hilario Guzman' has been praised as a 'stunningly intimate' portrait of one immigrant family from Oaxaca, through harrowing border crossings and brutal raisin harvests. Down the road in the 'Home Front,' right-wing Christians and Jews form a strange pact that tries to silence debate on the War on Terror, and a conflicted father loses not one but two sons in Iraq. 'The Last Okie in Lamont,' the inspiration for the town in the Grapes of Wrath, has but one Okie left, who tells Arax his life story as he drives to a funeral to bury one more Dust Bowl migrant. 'The Highlands of Humboldt' is a journey to marijuana growing capital of the U.S., where the old hippies are battling the new hippies over 'pollution pot' and the local bank collects a mountain of cash each day, much of it redolent of cannabis. Arax pieces together the murder-suicide at the heart of a rotisserie chicken empire in 'The Legend of Zankou,' a story included in the Best American Crime Reporting 2009. And, in the end, he provides a moving epilogue to the murder of his own father, a crime in the California heartland finally solved after thirty years. In the finest tradition of Joan Didion, Arax combines journalism, essay, and memoir to capture social upheaval as well as the sense of being rooted in a community. Piece by piece, the stories become a whole, a stunning panorama of California, and America, in a new century.…
