Summary

In the vast expanse of the universe, where the night sky reveals countless stars, planets, and galaxies, the pursuit of knowledge knows no bounds. Among the many tools at the disposal of astronomers and astrophysicists, photometry stands as a beacon of precision and insight. This book, "Photometry: Science, Sensitivity, and Its Connection to Astronomy," is your guided journey into the fascinating world of measuring and interpreting light in the cosmos.

As you gaze upon the night sky, you might wonder: How do astronomers decipher the secrets held within the twinkling stars and distant galaxies? The answer lies in photometry, a powerful technique that allows scientists to quantify and analyze the luminous emissions of celestial objects. From determining the properties of stars and planets to unraveling the mysteries of the cosmos itself, photometry serves as the bedrock of astronomical research.

In this book, we embark on an exploration of the science of photometry, delving deep into its principles, techniques, and applications. Whether you are an aspiring astronomer, a seasoned researcher, or simply a curious soul with a passion for the night sky, this book will illuminate the path to understanding the luminous tapestry of our universe.

    Mr Lincoln's T-Mails - How...

    The Civil War was the first "modern war." Because of the rapid changes in American society, Abraham Lincoln became president of a divided United States during a period of technological and social revolution. Among the many modern marvels that gave the North an advantage was the telegraph, which Lincoln used to stay connected to the forces in the field in almost real time.No leader in history had ever possessed such a powerful tool to gain control over a fractious situation. An eager student of technology, Lincoln had to learn to use the power of electronic messages. Without precedent to guide him, Lincoln began by reading the telegraph traffic among his generals. Then he used the telegraph to supplement his preferred form of communication—meetings and letters. He did not replace those face-to-face interactions. Through this experience, Lincoln crafted the best way to guide, reprimand, praise, reward, and encourage his commanders in the field.By paying close attention to Lincoln's "lightning messages," we see a great leader adapt to a new medium. No listener of this work of history will be able to miss the contemporary parallels. Watching Lincoln carefully word his messages—and follow up on those words with the right actions—offers a striking example for those who spend their days tapping out notes on computers and BlackBerrys.

    Out of My Skull - The Psychology...

    We avoid boredom at all costs. It makes us feel restless and agitated. Desperate for something to do, we play games on our phones, retie our shoes, or even count ceiling tiles. And if we escape it this time, eventually it will strike again. But what if we listened to boredom instead of banishing it? 
    Psychologists James Danckert and John Eastwood contend that boredom isn't bad for us. It's just that we do a bad job of heeding its guidance. When we're bored, our minds are telling us that whatever we are doing isn't working—we're failing to satisfy our basic psychological need to be engaged and effective. Too many of us respond poorly. We become prone to accidents, risky activities, loneliness, and ennui, and we waste ever more time on technological distractions. But, Danckert and Eastwood argue, we can let boredom have the opposite effect, motivating the change we need. The latest research suggests that an adaptive approach to boredom will help us avoid its troubling effects and, through its reminder to become aware and involved, boredom might lead us to live fuller lives. 
    Out of My Skull combines scientific findings with everyday observations to explain an experience we'd like to ignore, but from which we have a lot to learn. Boredom evolved to help us. It's time we gave it a chance.

    EU: Beyond the Crisis - A Debate...

    This book ventures a critical gaze at the image of the European Union beyond the crisis. Keeping in mind that crises constitute organic parts of all systems, the volume attempts to apprehend the EU’s losses, gains, challenges, and opportunities deriving from the crisis and assesses what constitutes a viable and integrated exit from the current predicament. Moreover, through dealing with the EU as an everlasting process rather than a completed edifice, the collection aims at charting the conceptual weaknesses which resulted in a crisis so acute and long-lasting and at opening a discourse on the future and the required reconceptualization of the EU.
    
    The project is based on three large and interconnected thematic pillars that relate to the European Union after the crisis:
    
    - Facets of parliamentarism in the EU in the context of the crisis,
    
    - Political cohesion and institutional integration,
    
    - Perceptions, images, stereotypes, and their impact on the process of social and political integration of the EU.
