Faber & Faber Tweeting the Universe
Book SynopsisIn 140 pages, two masterly popularisers present 140 explanations of the biggest questions in physics - in the form of 10 or so tweets per page. They set themselves the challenge of boiling down what is essential on each subject into sentences of 140 characters, and the results are both entertaining and brilliantly informative. Not a word is wasted. The reader is not patronized and learns something on every page. If only all science writing could be so precise and so economical. Only science writers of a very high calibre could achieve such compression. Marcus Chown - ''the finest cosmology writer of our day'' (Matt Ridley) - has known the Dutch writer Govert Schilling for twenty years. Schilling pioneered this very swift form of explanation in a Dutch newspaper, and suggested to Chown that they collaborate on bringing it to a wider audience. Tweeting the Universe is unlike any other science book.

Harvard University Press Gehennical Fire
Book SynopsisEirenaeus Philalethes was reputed to have performed miracles—restoring an aged lady’s teeth and hair, bringing a withered peach tree to fruit—and was also rumored to possess a philosophers’ stone. That he was merely a mythical creation didn't diminish his public reputation a whit. This is the story of the man behind the myth, George Starkey.Trade Review[An] impressive book… Newman has pulled off two remarkable achievements in a single book—and one of modest size at that. To begin with, he has reconstructed the career of an intellectual adventurer whose talents for investigating the natural world and for promoting his own fame were equally outsized… [Starkey] was not only a medical reformer, he was also one of the most ingenious and prolific of those strange figures, half con man and half high-tech entrepreneur, who were known at the time as projectors… This story of a forgotten career, though told with much learning and occasional wit, forms only one strand in the double helix of Newman’s book. He also seeks to identify the sources and explain the contents of Starkey’s chemical thought and practice. The obstacles to such a project that the historian of alchemy confronts would daunt most scholars… By painstaking and meticulous analysis [Newman] establishes the exact chemical experiments that Starkey had devised, identifying their ingredients in both seventeenth-century and modern terms… The dark language of alchemy emerges as an early form of scientific notation: precise, rigorous, inaccessible to the outsider but clear to the expert. Considered simply as a piece of historical craftsmanship, Newman’s efficient decoding and partial rehabilitation of these rebarbative texts compels admiration… Gehennical Fire deserves to reach a wide public. It helps to revise a revisionist historiography of science which has become something of an orthodoxy in its own right… The boundaries between Aristotelianism and alchemy, establishment science and reform, traditional natural philosophy and the Scientific Revolution emerge from his analysis as permeable, even fluid: territories long described as separate turn out to overlap. Above all, Newman offers powerful evidence that the dark science of alchemy formed part of the high intellectual tradition in medieval and Renaissance Europe. Neither the alchemists’ alembics not their lives will ever look quite the same. -- Anthony Grafton * New York Review of Books *To recover the worldview of alchemists is no easy matter and demands the disciplined use of the historical imagination: [Newman’s] style, confident, spirited and ironic, and his evident knowledge and enthusiasm carry us back into another world… To this hermeneutics, Newman is an excellent guide… Newman shows how studying an obscure and ambiguous figure can bring the science of the period to life. And he shows that alchemy can be studied like more mainstream science, given the effort required to penetrate its language, verbal and visual. Because his remedies were used by Boyle and his writings studied by Boyle, G. W. Leibniz and George Stahl as well as by Newton, Starkey was clearly not an insignificant figure. He makes us think again about the ‘Scientific Revolution.’ -- David Knight * Nature *Colonial America was not immune to alchemy’s charms. The Harvard physics curriculum introduced George Starkey (1627–65) to the art, and upon immigration to England, he won acclaim as an alchemical savant. There he constructed the mythical personality of Eirenaeus Philalethes, a mysterious American adept to whom he alone had access. His pseudonymous works became clinical classics, admired by Boyle, Newton, Leibniz, and Goethe, making Starkey/Philalethes the most widely read American scientist before Benjamin Franklin. Besides telling a practically unknown tale of American alchemy, this book is now the best history of alchemy in English. -- Barry Allen * Common Knowledge *The deep scholarship of this book is presented to the nonexpert reader with exemplary lucidity… It should lead to a rethinking of the role of alchemy in the Scientific Revolution. -- Roy Porter * William & Mary Quarterly *The book, which contains a bibliography of the printed works and manuscripts of Starkey, stands out as a major contribution to the understanding of early modern alchemy, as well as a stimulating investigation of seventeenth-century corpuscular theories of matter. -- Antonio Clericuzio * Ambix: Journal of the Society for History of Alchemy and Chemistry *Although the reader little familiar with alchemy will find Newman’s study difficult going in places, there is no second guessing its value to historians of varied intellectual interests. The author has composed a unique and probing study in the history of ideas, a work of definitive merit that will likely remain the standard for decades to come. -- Gale E. Christianson * American Historical Review *This is an extraordinary book about an extraordinary topic… Newman discusses the contortions and convolutions of European alchemical theory and practice with a mastery rarely if ever equaled. And he does it with grace and somehow conveys the assurance that the reader can understand it. * Chemical Heritage *Gehennical Fire is not only a well researched study of the life and thought of Starkey, but is also a learned and insightful contribution to the history of early modern alchemy and chemistry. -- Antonio Clericuzio * Studies in History and Philosophy of Science *Newman has written a definitive and impeccably scholarly account of the short but turbulent life of Starkey. * Choice *The deep scholarship of this book is presented to the nonexpert reader with exemplary lucidity. Newman steers a middle course between dismissing and romanticizing alchemy; he establishes Starkey’s importance without overinflated claims on Starkey’s behalf… [His] book should lead to a rethinking of the role of alchemy in the scientific revolution—a term that, finally, in my judgment, Newman does well to retain. -- Roy Porter, Wellcome Institute for the History of MedicineTable of ContentsAcknowledgments A Note on Terminology Introduction 1.

Princeton University Press The Aspiring Adept Robert Boyle and His
Book SynopsisPresents a provocative view of Robert Boyle (1627-1691), one of the leading figures of the Scientific Revolution, by revealing his avid and lifelong pursuit of alchemy. This title shows that his alchemical quest positions him more accurately in the intellectual and cultural crossroads of the seventeenth century.Trade Review"Principe is to be congratulated on bringing [Boyle] into a new focus."--D. M. Knight, Nature "The Aspiring Adept is an audacious, enchanting, and deeply rewarding book, one that will be of equal interest to historians, chemists, and interested laypersons. It is a real treat."--A. J. Rocke, Chemistry in Britain "Lawrence Principe's book goes a long way toward recovering the complexity of Boyle's mind and work... [His] ability to reconstruct Boyle's laboratory practices, ascertain the relations between Boyle and a large community of like-minded practitioners, and retrieve, fully or partially, some of Boyle's alchemical writings is ... remarkable."--Mordechai Feingold, American Scientist "Principe has performed a great service by printing some of the choicer parts [of Boyle's unpublished works]...

Book Synopsis1 Introduction Data extract from Landolt-Börnstein IV/17: Static Dielectric Constants of Pure Liquids and Binary Liquid Mixtures 1. 1 Selection of data This supplement updates Landolt-Börnstein's New Series Group IV (Physical Chemistry) Volume 6, Static Dielectric Constants of Pure Liquids and Binary Liquid Mixtures, published in the year 1991 [1991WOH1]. The update provides experimental data published in the years 1991 to 2006. The ?nal date for including data was December, 31st, 2006. Specialization and selection of data for this new update follows the intentions of the original volume. The focus is on non-electrolyte systems, and only data for pure liquids and binary liquid mixtures at normal pr- sure (or in some single cases at the saturation vapor pressure) were taken into account for this volume. No data at higher pressures were collected, no data for the gaseous state, and no data for dielectric relaxation processes at higher frequencies have been included. For mixtures, this data collection is restricted to binary liquid mixtures, i. e. no ternary systems and also no solutions of any solids, salts, electrolytes, polymers are included here.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Mathematical Universe: From Pythagoras to
Book SynopsisI first had a quick look, then I started reading it. I couldn't stop. -Gerard 't Hooft (Nobel Prize, in Physics 1999)This is a book about the mathematical nature of our Universe. Armed with no more than basic high school mathematics, Dr. Joel L. Schiff takes you on a foray through some of the most intriguing aspects of the world around us. Along the way, you will visit the bizarre world of subatomic particles, honey bees and ants, galaxies, black holes, infinity, and more. Included are such goodies as measuring the speed of light with your microwave oven, determining the size of the Earth with a stick in the ground and the age of the Solar System from meteorites, understanding how the Theory of Relativity makes your everyday GPS system possible, and so much more. These topics are easily accessible to anyone who has ever brushed up against the Pythagorean Theorem and the symbol π, with the lightest dusting of algebra. Through this book, science-curious readers will come to appreciate the patterns, seeming contradictions, and extraordinary mathematical beauty of our Universe.

Harvard University Press The Mind Has No Sex Women in the Origins of
Book SynopsisIn this rich and comprehensive history of women’s contributions to the development of early modern science, Londa Schiebinger unearths the forgotten heritage of women scientists and probes the cultural and historical forces that continue to shape the course of scientific scholarship and knowledge.Trade ReviewIn giving this account of the role of science in the creation of gender, backed by this mass of fascinating detail, intriguingly interpreted, Schiebinger has truly travelled uncharted territory. -- June Goodfield * Nature *What must be applauded in The Mind Has No Sex? is the linking of scientific and medical phenomena with institutions, patronage, social groupings, family organization, and crafts. It is still all too rare to find historians of science willing to cast their nets so wide, in terms of chronology and the range of countries and issues considered… Historians of science have much to learn from this book, not only because of the new materials it brings to light, but also because of its attempts to understand women’s participation in the acquisition of natural knowledge in terms of scientific and medical theories and of a wide range of social practices. -- L. J. Jordanova * Times Higher Education Supplement *[The Mind Has No Sex?] is a beautifully detailed portrayal, alternately amusing, astonishing, dismaying, and painful, of ‘how real men and women participated in [early modern] science’ and what difference it made—to them, to science, and to our general idea of sexual difference. [This is] feminism put to work. -- Clifford Geertz * New York Review of Books *In a book remarkable for its scope and sophistication, historian Londa Schiebinger investigates the nature, extent, and consequences of the structures that have so long barred women from full participation in the sciences since the Renaissance. -- Lorraine Daston * Science *Readable, carefully-constructed and elegant, [The Mind Has No Sex?] does not force any particular view, but presents us with incontrovertible evidence of the crucial role of science in the creation of Western ideas of gender. -- Caroline Humphrey * London Review of Books *Londa Schiebinger’s adventure in scholarly sleuthing discovers the hidden, finds the lost, and celebrates the forgotten women in medicine and science in western Europe and America from the 16th through the 19th centuries. This important, intellectually powerful book is often very funny in relating historical reasons why there are so few women scientists… Beyond comedic virtues, this book’s true power lies in its revelation of women’s scientific achievements and its recasting of the question at hand: why are there so few women scientists that we know about? The author’s trained eye discovers spectacular women practitioners in astronomy, botany, entomology, physics, medicine, and other sciences whose works have disappeared from neglect, forgetfulness, prejudice, deceit, disbelief, and man’s occasional inhumanity to women. -- Madeleine Pelner Cosman * JAMA: Journal of the American Medical Association *The Mind Has No Sex? is important to scientists because it illuminates the complex dynamic between reason and belief, observation and preconception, theory and conviction. In rich detail, it shows us that scientists are not immune to venal motives of error. At a time when science is once more being viewed as a means to national salvation, and women and minorities are being urged to become scientists and engineers, we should be mindful of these lessons. -- Lilli S. Hormig * Chemical and Engineering News *Feminist scholars will greatly profit from this work, for it points to distinct historical characters, events, and belies that have affected women’s relationship with science and vice verse. The awareness that there exists a continuous evolution of ideas and social structures enhances any scholarship of women in science. -- E. G. Phanichkul * Contemporary Sociology *The Mind Has No Sex? provides a historical backdrop for the current study of gender issues in psychiatry. It also warns us that the data of science itself is affected by cultural thinking and vulnerable to gender bias. -- Letitia Upton * News for Women in Psychiatry *Are women by nature inferior to men in scientific and mathematical reasoning? Such is a modern stereotype. Schiebinger hammers it to pieces with examples of women from the Enlightenment to the nineteenth century who did major scientific work despite relentless male opposition and scorn. -- Richard Marius * Harvard Magazine *Schiebinger’s methodical tracing of the way in which negative or fearful assumptions regarding the nature of the female mind have fed sexual discrimination—and how that discrimination has in turn helped justify the original negative assumptions—is both well researched and convincing. Her profiles of women scientists who resisted prejudice, plus her fascinating descriptions of past and present rationalizations for sexual injustice, make this a solid contribution to the history of science. * Kirkus Reviews *Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Cambridge University Press New Cosmos
Book SynopsisDavid J. Eicher's fascinating and spectacular exploration of the cosmos presents a series of remarkable celestial highlights ranging from the exploration of our own solar system to the latest theories on the fate of the cosmos. It features color illustrations including numerous photos, maps and explanatory diagrams.Trade Review'David Eicher has more than three decades' experience of writing about astronomy for a general readership. His experience and enthusiasm shine through in this wide-ranging survey of current 'hot topics'.' Martin Rees, Emeritus Professor of Cosmology and Astrophysics, University of Cambridge'The New Cosmos by David Eicher is a wonderful read! This wonderfully written, accessible, authoritative new book spans the breadth of major topics in early twenty-first-century astronomy, engaging the reader in every chapter. I haven't seen a better book surveying modern astronomy in a decade. I highly recommend this masterpiece as a gift to yourself or anyone interested in space and astronomy.' Alan Stern, Principal Investigator of the New Horizons mission, Southwest Research Institute'If you are looking for a collection of newspaper headlines full of hype about this discovery or that, then The New Cosmos probably isn't for you. On the other hand, if those headlines whet your appetite for something more substantial, then pick up a copy and settle in for a fascinating and enlightening read. The New Cosmos is not simply a survey of astronomy and planetary science - it is more of a travelogue, starting with intriguing questions and then following where each story leads. And there throughout the journey is David J. Eicher's obvious passion and joy for the wonders of the heavens, and for the human quest to make those wonders known.' Jeff Hester, Professor Emeritus, School of Earth and Space Exploration, Arizona State University'In this book, Eicher synthesizes a wealth of relatively new information into an interesting, coherent, up-to-date overview of many of the most important and exciting areas of astronomy … Immersing yourself in the chapters that follow will give you a new sense of wonder at the amazing universe that we inhabit, yet simultaneously awakening both your humility as a cosmic speck of dust and your awe at our present understanding of the cosmos.' Alex Filippenko, University of California, Berkeley, from the Foreword'This is an exceptional book that places our life in a global perspective on the cosmic stage, both in space and in time. It leaves you wondering whether our civilization should reconsider its priorities if it wishes to be regarded as intelligent.' Abraham Loeb, Harvard University'David Eicher provides a much-needed update to Carl Sagan's classic book Cosmos from thirty-five years ago, describing the most fascinating advances in astronomy and planetary science.' Alfred McEwen, Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, University of Arizona, Tucson'The New Cosmos is an enjoyable stroll through our current knowledge of the objects in the cosmic zoo. As a planetary scientist, I welcome the opportunity to learn about fields distant from my own. I know that I can trust their treatment because my own field is expertly and concisely covered. Bravo!' Paul D. Spudis, Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston'It can be easy to forget just how many different major astrophysical discoveries have taken place in recent years. Eicher takes the reader through a whirlwind tour of the most exciting highlights, from newly discovered planets in our own cosmic backyard, to the dark matter and dark energy that are ubiquitous throughout our universe. The New Cosmos covers all of the 'big questions' that are being nervously and excitedly debated in the hallways of astronomy and physics departments around the world.' Dan Hooper, Fermilab, Illinois'If you want to know what happens when the Sun dies, or wish to understand such puzzles as the true nature of black holes and the long-term fate of the universe, then you should be reading this book. In clear and authoritative prose, David Eicher offers readers a wonderful set of answers to the most consequential questions in astronomy. It's an impressively comprehensive treatment of the biggest subject of all - the cosmos.' Seth Shostak, SETI Institute, CaliforniaTable of ContentsForeword Alex Filippenko; 1.
