Scribner Book Company The End of Everything: (Astrophysically Speaking)
Book SynopsisA NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK * AN NPR SCIENCE FRIDAY BOOK CLUB SELECTION* NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST, THE ECONOMIST, NEW SCIENTIST, PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, and THE GUARDIAN From the cohost of the podcast The Universe with John Green and one of the most dynamic stars in astrophysics, an “engrossing, elegant” (The New York Times) look at five ways the universe could end, and the mind-blowing lessons each scenario reveals about the most important concepts in cosmology.We know the universe had a beginning. With the Big Bang, it expanded from a state of unimaginable density to an all-encompassing cosmic fireball to a simmering fluid of matter and energy, laying down the seeds for everything from black holes to one rocky planet orbiting a star near the edge of a spiral galaxy that happened to develop life as we know it. But what happens to the universe at the end of the story? And what does it mean for us now? Dr. Katie Mack has been contemplating these questions since she was a young student, when her astronomy professor informed her the universe could end at any moment, in an instant. This revelation set her on the path toward theoretical astrophysics. Now, with lively wit and humor, she takes us on a mind-bending tour through five of the cosmos’s possible finales: the Big Crunch, Heat Death, the Big Rip, Vacuum Decay (the one that could happen at any moment!), and the Bounce. Guiding us through cutting-edge science and major concepts in quantum mechanics, cosmology, string theory, and much more, The End of Everything is a wildly fun, surprisingly upbeat ride to the farthest reaches of all that we know.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Cosmology, Quantum Vacuum and Zeta Functions: In Honor of Emilio Elizalde
Book SynopsisSome major developments of physics in the last three decades are addressed by highly qualified specialists in different specific fields. They include renormalization problems in QFT, vacuum energy fluctuations and the Casimir effect in different configurations, and a wealth of applications. A number of closely related issues are also considered. The cosmological applications of these theories play a crucial role and are at the very heart of the book; in particular, the possibility to explain in a unified way the whole history of the evolution of the Universe: from primordial inflation to the present day accelerated expansion. Further, a description of the mathematical background underlying many of the physical theories considered above is provided. This includes the uses of zeta functions in physics, as in the regularization problems in QFT already mentioned, specifically in curved space-time, and in Casimir problems as.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“This book in part is about on some technology concerning the local zeta function applied to quantum field theory in curved static (thermal) spacetime to regularize the stress energy tensor and the field fluctuations. … I find this book extremely useful and important, because it signifies the beauty of a mathematical technique in physics in general. I recommend this book for you it is an amazing reading!” (Philosophy, Religion and Science Book Reviews, bookinspections.wordpress.com, January, 2014)Table of ContentsPart I QFT and the Casimir Effect.- 1.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Die Relativitätstheorie Einsteins
Book SynopsisDieses Buch ist bis heute eine der populärsten Darstellungen der Relativitätstheorie geblieben. In der vorliegenden Version haben J. Ehlers und M. Pössel vom Max-Planck-Institut für Gravitationsphysik (Albert-Einstein-Institut) in Golm/Potsdam den Bornschen Text kommentiert und einen den anschaulichen, aber präzisen Stil Borns wahrendes, umfangreiches Ergänzungskapitel hinzugefügt, das die stürmische Entwicklung der Relativiatätstheorie bis hin zu unseren Tagen nachzeichnet. Eingegangen wird auf Gravitationswellen und Schwarze Löcher, auf neuere Entwicklungen der Kosmologie, auf Ansätze zu einer Theorie der Quantengravitation und auf die zahlreichen raffinierten Experimente, welche die Gültigkeit der Einsteinschen Theorie mit immer größerer Genauigkeit bestätigt haben. Damit bleibt dieses Buch nach wie vor einer der unmittelbarsten Zugänge zur Relativitätstheorie für alle die sich für eine über das rein populärwissenschaftliche hinausgehende Einführung interessieren.Trade Review"Allen interessierten Laien sehr zu empfehlen, die ohne höhere Mathematik tiefer in diese Materie eindringen möchten." (Weltraum-Facts mit Space-Informer, 2001) "Alle, die sich über eine rein populärwissenschaftliche Einführung hinaus für die Relativitätstheorie interessieren – besonders Physikstudenten – werden an dem eingehenden Werk Freude haben." (Der Sternenbote, 2001) "Die Erweiterung bereichert den Text von Born aber nicht nur um neuere Entwicklungen der Physik. Rückverweise verzahnen die neuen Kapitel inhaltlich mit den vorstehenden Überlegungen, und auch das Bornsche Projekt, für den mit Schulmathemaitk und einem "gesunden Menschenverstand" ausgestatteten Leser verständlich zu sein, wird erfolgreich fortgeführt." (Wissenschaftlicher Literaturanzeiger, 2001) "Das Buch zeichnet sich in besonderm Maße gegenüber fast allen anderen Abhandlungen über dieses Thema dadurch aus, daß es in einer zuweilen geradezu brillianten Ausdrucksweise die Problematik der klassischen Physik und deren Hintergrund aufzeigt, die dann durch Einsteins Theorien eine Auflösung fand. [...] Alles in allem ein sehr lesenswertes Buch, jedoch kein populärwissenschaftliches und für den Laien sicherlich auch kein leichtes. Denn trotz der außerordentlich gut verständlichen Darstellungsweise Borns erfordert das Buch außer etwas Grundlagen-Mathematik ein hohes Maß an Aufmerksamkeit und die bereitschaft, physikalsiche Sachverhalte gedanklich zu durchdringen. Es ist mit sicherheit ein Verdienst von Herausgebern und Verlag, Borns Buch durch die Neuauflage mit den aktuellen Ergänzungen wieder einer interessierten Leserschaft verfügbar zu machen." (Nachrichten der Olbers-Gesellschaft, 2001) "Wer eine fundierte, gründliche Einführung in die Welt der Relativitätstheorie sucht, kommt an Borns Klassiker nicht vorbei. Freilich muß man sich mitunter bemühen und auch einiges an Mathematik bewältigen, läuft dafür aber nicht Gefahr, durch aus dem Alltag entlehnte Analogien verwirrt zu werden." (Sirius – Zeitschrift der Vereinigten Amateur-Astronomen, 2002) "Wer die populärwissenschaftlichen Darstellungen der Relativitätstheorie als nicht ausreichend betrachtet und gern etwas tiefer schürfen möchte, dem sei dieses Buch als Lektüre ans Herz gelegt." (Astrokurier, 2002) "Ehlers und Pössel ist damit ein gelungenes Remake von Borns wegweisendem Werk gelungen. Sie haben bewiesen, dass der 80 Jahre alte Zugang zu Einsteins Theorie auch heute noch gangbar ist." (Physik in unserer Zeit, 2002) "[...] weiterhin einer der unmittelbarsten Zugänge zur Relativitätstheorie für Schüler-, Lehrer- und Studentenschaft sowie für alle, die sich nicht beruflich mit relativistischer Physik beschäftigen möchten, insbesondere für jene Leserschaft aus der Amateur-Astronomie, die an einem tieferen Verständnis dieses spannenden Themas interessiert ist. Gerade diesem Kreis ist das vorliegende Buch als Einführung in die moderne Kosmologie sehr zu empfehlen." (ORION 61/314, 2003)Table of ContentsGeometrie und Kosmologie.- Die Grundgesetze der klassischen Mechanik.- Das Newtonsche Weltsystem.- Die Grundgesetze der Optik.- Die Grundgesetze der Elektrodynamik.- Das spezielle Einsteinsche Relativitätsprinzip.- Die allgemeine Relativitätstheorie Einsteins.- Neuere Entwicklungen der relativistischen Physik.

Brill Overlapping Cosmologies In Asia: Transcultural and Interdisciplinary Approaches
Book SynopsisThe history of cosmology is often understood in terms of the development of modern science, but Asian cosmological thought and practice touched on many aspects of life, including mathematics, astronomy, politics, philosophy, religion, and art. Because of the deep pervasion of cosmology in culture, many opportunities arose for transmissions of cosmological ideas across borders and innovations of knowledge and application in new contexts. Taking a wider view, one finds that cosmological ideas traveled widely and intermingled freely, being frequently reinterpreted by scholars, ritualists, and artists and transforming as they overlapped with ideas and practices from other traditions. This book brings together ten diverse scholars to present their views on these overlapping cosmologies in Asia. They are Ryuji Hiraoka, Satomi Hiyama, Eric Huntington, Yoichi Isahaya, Catherine Jami, Bill M. Mak, D. Max Moerman, Adrian C. Pirtea, John Steele, and Dror Weil.
