Sinossi

Gravity’s Core Principles explores the pervasive influence of gravity, a fundamental force shaping our universe. It begins with familiar concepts like mass and distance, then transitions to Einstein's General Relativity, revealing gravity not as a simple attraction but as the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. Did you know that the first direct detection of gravitational waves in 2015 confirmed a key prediction of Einstein’s theory? Or that understanding gravity is crucial for accurately predicting the trajectories of interplanetary probes? This book uniquely balances historical context with modern theories, starting from early philosophical ideas about falling objects and progressing to sophisticated models used in astrophysics and cosmology today. Accessible explanations and clear visualizations help demystify complex equations, allowing motivated learners to grasp essential concepts. The book progresses systematically, first establishing Newtonian gravity as a foundation before delving into General Relativity, gravitational lensing, and black holes. It concludes with discussions of ongoing research into gravitational waves and potential future discoveries, like quantum gravity. This textbook emphasizes both Newtonian and Einsteinian gravity, providing a deep yet accessible understanding of gravitational physics.

The Lonely Voice - A Study of...

Frank O'Connor

Frank O'Connor was one of the twentieth century's greatest short story writers, and one of Ireland's greatest authors. Lilliput Press are now delighted to continue our publishing of O'Connor's writing by bringing his seminal work on the art of the short story back into print.   
The Lonely Voice is the definitive work of Irish non-fiction on the art of writing short fiction, and has long been held up as one of the greatest works in global literature on the short form. We are delighted to bring The Lonely Voice back into print with a brand new introduction by Kevin Barry, internationally recognised as one of Ireland's greatests short story writers, whose work - like O'Connor's before him - appears frequently in the New Yorker. Barry engages and parrys with O'Connor's writing, bringing about a meeting of great Irish short story writers from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and bringing this foundational piece of Irish writing to a new generation.   
The ideal companion to works such as George Saunders A Swim in a Pond in the Rain or John Yorke's Into the Woods: How Stories Work and Why we Tell Them.
