Summary

Black Hole Basics explores these enigmatic objects, revealing their critical role in shaping our universe. Black holes aren't cosmic vacuum cleaners but are essential drivers of galactic evolution and potential testbeds for fundamental physics.

 
The book begins by explaining stellar evolution, detailing how massive stars collapse under gravity to form black holes, creating an event horizon, the point of no return, and a singularity, an infinitely dense point.

 
The book progresses from gravity and space-time basics, using Einstein's general relativity, to the formation of stellar-mass black holes from supernovae. It then pivots to supermassive black holes at galactic centers and their influence on galactic structure.

 
The book concludes by discussing black hole mergers, gravitational waves, and tests of general relativity. Understanding black hole mergers helps refine our understanding of gravity and probe the universe's expansion.

 
This book provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of black holes for students and science enthusiasts. It covers both stellar-mass and supermassive black holes, linking their properties and incorporating the latest research on gravitational waves from observatories like LIGO, while avoiding overly technical jargon.

 
Black Hole Basics offers a structured journey through astrophysics and cosmology, making complex concepts understandable.

    Cancer - A Very Short...

    In 1961 John F. Kennedy pledged to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. Nine years later, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. Ten years later, Richard Nixon echoed this pledge by declaring a "war" on cancer. More than thirty years later, however, cancer remains one of the largest causes of death worldwide, with around one in three developing the disease. Curing cancer is not "rocket science," but the question is, why has cancer proved to be harder to tackle than the moon landings turned out to be? 
 
 
 
Cancer research is a major economic activity. There are constant improvements in treatment techniques that result in better cure rates and increased quality and quantity of life for those with the disease, yet stories of breakthroughs in a cure for cancer are often in the media. 
 
 
 
In this Very Short Introduction Nick James, founder of the CancerHelp UK website, examines the trends in diagnosis and treatment of the disease, as well as its economic consequences. Asking what cancer is and what causes it, he considers issues surrounding expensive drug development, what can be done to reduce the risk of developing cancer, and the use of complementary and alternative therapies.
