Sinopse

In 'The Meaning of Relativity,' Albert Einstein elucidates his groundbreaking theories that revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and gravity. Written in a clear yet intellectually rigorous style, the book offers both a comprehensive explanation of his theory of relativity and its implications for the fabric of the universe. Einstein adeptly balances complex concepts with accessible language, providing readers with profound insights into the nature of reality while grounding his arguments in the scientific knowledge of his time. He incorporates mathematical rigor alongside philosophical reflections, positioning relativity within the broader context of 20th-century physics. Albert Einstein, one of the most influential physicists in history, developed the theory of relativity in the early 20th century, a period marked by rapid advancements in scientific thought. His background as a theoretical physicist, combined with his experiences during World War I and the subsequent rise of modernism, deeply informed his writing. Einstein's quest for knowledge and understanding of the universe propelled him to communicate his groundbreaking ideas, seeking to make complex scientific principles accessible to a wider audience. This seminal work is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersection of science and philosophy, as it deftly illustrates how relativity reshapes our perception of existence. Whether you are a seasoned physicist or a curious layperson, 'The Meaning of Relativity' offers a captivating and enlightening exploration of the universe that will expand your understanding of both science and the very essence of being.

    Science is so f*cking rad. We don't deserve it. 
     
     
     
    What actually is quantum physics? If you can answer that questions without bullsh*tting the person standing next to you in the bookstore, you can stop listening right now. But although most of us don't actually understand quantum physics, and if we understood it we'd probably be rich and beautiful and happy, right? After all, there are plenty of people out there trying to sell you quantum crystals to align your quantum energy with your quantum destiny. Can they all be wrong? 
     
     
     
    Spoiler: yes. Yes, they can. There is no such thing as quantum crystals. Sorry! 
     
     
     
    Luckily, as pseudo-science takes over the internet and it's getting harder and harder to separate alternative facts from real science, Chris Ferrie (an actual quantum physicist!) is here to explain quantum physics in a way that makes sense, so you can see the hucksters and bullsh*tters coming from a mile away—and school them in what quantum entanglement actually is (it has nothing to do with your romantic life). If you f*cking love science and want to be slightly less dumb than you were when you woke up this morning, Quantum Bullsh*t is the truly out-of-this-world book for you.

    A skill that consists of precisely spacing cuts, dividing is a crucial technique for gear cutting and radial work on a metalworking lathe. This complete guide to dividing clearly explains its principles  and covers everything a model engineer needs to know about dividing and several methods that can be achieved – from simple applications without specialized equipment to the use of a semi-universal dividing head and a rotary table. The mathematics of dividing are also included and written in an easy-to-understand format that won't intimidate. Author Harold Hall was the editor of Model Engineers' Workshop magazine and established himself as a mentor to Tyro model engineers worldwide. He is also the author of seven books in the indispensable Home Machinists Series.

    This is a biography of Earthopolis, the only Urban Planet we know of. It is a history of how cities gave humans immense power over Earth, for good and for ill. Carl Nightingale takes readers on a sweeping six-continent, six-millennium tour of the world’s cities, culminating in the last 250 years, when we vastly accelerated our planetary realms of action, habitat, and impact, courting dangerous new consequences and opening prospects for new hope. In Earthopolis we peek into our cities’ homes, neighborhoods, streets, shops, eating houses, squares, marketplaces, religious sites, schools, universities, offices, monuments, docklands, and airports to discover connections between small spaces and the largest things we have built. The book exposes the Urban Planet’s deep inequalities of power, wealth, access to knowledge, class, race, gender, sexuality, religion, and nation. It asks us to draw on the most just and democratic moments of Earthopolis’s past to rescue its future.

    The most common way we come to know animals is usually by rote learning the specific features that certain kind of animals have according to a textbooks. We learn that they are mammals, birds or fish; but at school we rarely mention that they have a personality of their own and even less do we analyze whether we treat them well or badly. Have you ever wondered how animals actually feel?
    Have you thought about how they are treated in our society?
    The Voice of Animals promotes reflection through critical thinking on different issues related to animal ethics. By raising questions it paves the way to analyze the most common themes that emerge in adolescence regarding the lives of animals, both free and captive.
