Sinossi

Astronomical Instruments unveils the sophisticated technology that enables us to explore the cosmos from Earth, focusing on how advancements directly correlate with our evolving understanding of the universe. The book explores the evolution of telescopes, space-based observatories, and data processing techniques, which are critical for groundbreaking astronomical discoveries. Discover how early astronomers overcame limitations using refined optics and mechanics, paving the way for today's massive ground-based telescopes.

 
This book uniquely emphasizes the engineering challenges and technological innovations driving progress in astronomy, rather than focusing on specific scientific findings. It traces the journey from traditional ground-based telescopes using visible light to the deployment of advanced space probes, showcasing the advantages of observing from space.

 
It also highlights the pivotal role of data processing in analyzing astronomical data, such as image processing and spectral analysis, which are crucial for uncovering exoplanets and studying distant galaxies. The book begins with fundamental principles, progresses through the development of various telescopes and adaptive optics, dedicates a significant portion to space-based observatories like the Hubble and James Webb, and concludes with data processing techniques.

 
By connecting physics, engineering, and computer science, Astronomical Instruments provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of the tools behind our cosmic insights.

    Urbanization refers to the process by which an increasing proportion of a population comes to reside in urban areas, often transforming rural landscapes into bustling cities. It is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon that encompasses social, economic, cultural, and environmental changes. The rapid expansion of urban areas is one of the most defining features of modern society, reflecting humanity's growing tendency to cluster in cities for opportunities, convenience, and better access to resources. 
    Historically, urbanization began with the establishment of early agricultural settlements, which served as hubs for trade and governance. Over time, these settlements grew into cities as advancements in technology, transportation, and infrastructure facilitated their expansion. The Industrial Revolution, in particular, marked a pivotal moment in the history of urbanization, drawing large numbers of people into urban centers in search of work and prosperity. Today, urbanization continues at an unprecedented pace, driven by industrial growth, globalization, and population migration from rural to urban regions. 
    The scope of urbanization extends far beyond the mere growth of cities. It profoundly influences nearly every aspect of human life, from economic development to social interactions and environmental sustainability. Economically, cities serve as engines of growth, innovation, and creativity, offering concentrated markets, skilled labor, and access to advanced infrastructure. Socially, urban areas often promote cultural exchange and diversity, creating spaces where people from different backgrounds can interact and collaborate. However, this growth also comes with challenges, such as overcrowding, inequality, and the strain on public services and infrastructure.

    The fascinating—and often secret—history of the body's most fascinating system: the gut. 
     
     
     
    The stomach is notoriously outspoken. It growls, gurgles, and grumbles while other organs remain silent, inconspicuous, and content. For centuries humans have puzzled over this rowdy organ, deliberating on the extent of its influence over cognition, mental wellbeing, and emotions, and wondering how the gut became so central to our sense of self. 
     
     
     
    Traveling from ancient Greece to Victorian England, eighteenth-century France to modern America, historian Elsa Richardson leads us on a tour of the gut, exploring all the ways that we have imagined, theorized, and probed the mysteries of the gastroenterological system. We'll meet a diverse cast of characters including Edwardian body builders, hunger-striking suffragettes, demons, medieval alchemists, and one poor teenage girl plagued by a remarkably vocal gut, all united by this singular organ. 
     
     
     
    Engaging, eye-opening, and thought-provoking, Rumbles leaves no stone unturned, scrutinizing religious tracts and etiquette guides, satirical cartoons and political pamphlets, in its quest to answer the millennia-old question: Are we really ruled by our stomachs?
