  Theory of relativity is a combination of two different theories or says two different combinations. First, one is Einstein’s special relativity theory and second one is general relativity theory. Concepts included in theory of relativity consider space-time as a single unified entity. According to concepts of theory of relativity, following are the elements of unified entity of space-time:Space and time (of course)Relativity of simultaneityKinematicDilation gravitational timeLength contraction 
  Term of relative theory was firstly used by Max Planck in 1906. The whole theory of relativity is based on this term. Max Planck described how the principles of relativity theory could be applied on practical events and various theories. Later on, in the same discussion term Theory of relativity was used by Alfred Bucherer. 
  Relativity theory is considered a unified representative of multiple physical theories. Concepts from more than one physical theory are explained and broadly discussed in this theory, which makes this theory real broad and deep. During 20th century concepts and ideas of theory of relativity has transformed many theoretical concepts of physics and astronomy. In the most basic version of theory of relativity, 200-year old theory of mechanics was used as a base for further studies and descriptions. Isaac Newton is said to be the founder of theory of mechanics, not the whole theory but he developed and explained many concepts that are contained in theory of mechanics. The whole concept of gravity was introduced by him. In physics, theory of relativity contributed a lot to develop or improve the concept of elementary particles. Concepts of relativity theory were used to understand interaction of elementary particles more deeply. Theory of relativity also helped the world to move in the right direction to reach enhanced nuclear era. Not only in physics, have theory of relativity also contributed in fields of cosmology and astrophysics. Thanks to the application in theory of relativity, astronomical phenomena were predicted and eventually proved real too. These phenomena are consisting of following:Neutron starsBlack holesGravitational waves 
  As described, Theory of relativity not only helps researches in physics, but also in cosmology and astrophysics. This broad theory became concern for cosmology since the basic concepts as black holes are explained by theory of relativity. Many concepts that are a part of astrophysics use many concepts and ideas of theory of relativity as a base for further researches and explanation. Being a solid combination of multiple theories, theory of relativity becomes a thing of concern for practitioners of physics, astrology, cosmology and astrophysics as well. In this book, main concepts of theory of relativity are covered. Both parts of this theory, which are general relativity and special relativity, are discussed broadly. This short introduction covers from history of this theory and to scope of the very same theory. It will provide a breakthrough in the broad theory of relativity that will help beginners to cover broad concepts easily.

  This audiobook narrated by Jemma Wadham gives a passionate eyewitness account of the mysteries and looming demise of glaciers—and what their fate means for our shared future
  
  The ice sheets and glaciers that cover one-tenth of Earth's land surface are today in grave peril. High in the Alps, Andes, and Himalaya, once-indomitable glaciers are retreating, even dying. Meanwhile, in Antarctica, thinning glaciers may be unlocking vast quantities of methane stored for millions of years beneath the ice. In Ice Rivers, renowned glaciologist Jemma Wadham offers a searing personal account of glaciers and the rapidly unfolding crisis that they—and we—face.
  
  Taking readers on a personal journey from Europe and Asia to Antarctica and South America, Wadham introduces majestic glaciers around the globe as individuals—even friends—each with their own unique character and place in their community. Defying their first appearance as silent, passive, and lifeless, she reveals that glaciers are, in fact, as alive as a forest or soil, teeming with microbial life and deeply connected to almost everything we know. They influence crucial systems on which people depend, from lucrative fisheries to fertile croplands, and represent some of the most sensitive and dynamic parts of our world. Their fate is inescapably entwined with our own, and the potential consequences are almost unfathomable unless we act to abate the greenhouse warming of our planet.
  
  A riveting blend of cutting-edge research and tales of encounters with polar bears and survival under the midnight sun, Ice Rivers is an unforgettable portrait of—and love letter to—our vanishing icy wildernesses.

  An examination of the barriers facing Indigenous people within the healthcare system from the perspective of an empathetic settler physician 
  After leaving her medical practice in Pennsylvania in 2011, Jarol Boan returned to her childhood home in Saskatchewan, Canada to practice medicine. There she found a healthcare system struggling with preventable chronic diseases and institutional racism. Shocked by the high rate of preventable diseases in her patients, Boan realized that a paternalistic deficit model does not support Indigenous communities. Through working to provide medical services in Indigenous communities and learning firsthand from her Indigenous patients, Boan embarked on a road to enlightenment and reconciliation. 
  In The Medicine Chest, Boan exposes the healthcare disparities in a country that prides itself on an equitable healthcare system and examines the devastating effects of diabetes, the myth of “the drunken Indian,” the inner workings of hospitals, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, epidemics on reserves, and residential school trauma. Exploring the intersectionality of common diseases and social determinants of health gained from her experience of caring for Indigenous patients, Boan weaves historical data, comments on health policy, and jurisdictional gaps into the narrative while investigating how Canada’s healthcare system is failing those most in need.

  Birth of Modern Astronomy The:...

  As interesting as the stories about Tycho Brahe are, chances are he wouldn’t be remembered if not for the important work he did, especially in the realm of astronomy. He lived in an era when the intellectual worldview of most in northern Europe was medieval in nature, influenced mostly by spirituality, mysticism, religion, and metaphysics. Brahe, however, was far-thinking in his outlook, taking advantages of the latest technological ideas and practicing empiricism to revolutionize the field of science. This work eventually led Brahe to cross paths with Johannes Kepler, whose laws on planetary motion would change everything.  
  Trying to define a man who had the qualities of a mathematician, astronomer, philosopher, inventor, and astrologer can prove difficult. But all of that can be ascribed to Johannes Kepler, one of the giants of his era who ushered in the Scientific Revolution and is often considered the first modern scientist. Kepler stood at a moment in time when the intellectual worldview of most in northern Europe was medieval in nature. Kepler, however, was far-thinking in his outlook. 
  	In his lifetime, Galileo straddled the epochs of the Renaissance and the Scientific Revolution, and it was his work and technological advances that helped usher in a brand new understanding of the solar system and the scientific method. Stephen Hawking himself has asserted, “Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science." Of course, part of what made Galileo such a monumental figure was the fact that he was ahead of his time, and that he mostly refused to conform to the accepted dogmas of contemporary society.  
  In 1676, Sir Isaac Newton wrote in a letter, “If I have seen further it is by standing on ye sholders of Giants.” By the time he died, Newton had become science’s greatest giant, and every scientist who has followed him has stood on his shoulders.
