The Authorized Albert Einstein Archives Edition: A fascinating collection of Einstein's observations about life, religion, nationalism, and a host of personal topics that engaged the genius's intellect. In the aftermath of the First World War, Albert Einstein writes about his hopes for the League of Nations, his feelings as a German citizen about the growing anti-Semitism and nationalism of his country, and his myriad opinions about the current affairs...

The character of physical law, first published in 1965, contains the text of seven brilliant lectures, originally delivered to standing-room-only audiences at Cornell University, that demonstrate Feynman's unique ability to bring his subject to life to the non-physicist. Beginning with a discussion of the Law of Gravitation and of the essential interaction of mathematics and physics, Feynman goes on to explore the principles of conservation and symmetry...

Albert Einstein once said, "Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas." While readers may see math as an isolated discipline, in reality, it is at the core of many social, economic, and physical realms of society. This title offers explanatory text that helps readers understand key mathematical concepts such as the importance of p values in statistical analysis. It also reveals how math can be used in unexpected ways, including...

"The first detection in 1995 of a planet orbiting a sun-like star outside our solar system marked the dawn of a new age of discovery-one that has rapidly transformed astronomy and our broader understanding of our place in the universe. Nearly five thousand exoplanets have been identified since then, with the pace of discovery only accelerating following the launch of missions like NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Satellite Survey and others to come. We...

"An eye-opening account of the inexplicable phenomena that science has only recently glimpsed, and that could transform our understanding of the fundamental nature of reality"--

"Nearly everyone is familiar with holograms--three-dimensional images projected into space with the aid of a laser. Two of the world's most eminent thinkers believe that the universe itself may be a giant hologram, quite literally a kind of image or construct created, at least in part, by the human mind. University of London physicist David Bohm, a protege of Einstein and one of the world's most respected quantum physicists, and Stanford neurophysiologist...

Imagine being the architect of a discovery so profound it could illuminate the mysteries of the umiverse, yet so devastating it could wipe out civilizations. This succinct yet richly detailed biography invites you to traverse the world of Robert Oppenheimer, the Father of the Atomic Bomb, a man who indelibly marked the fields of Quantum Theory and Nuclear Physics. Embark on an efficiently paced journey, just a hundred pages, that transports you...

Dr. Carroll explains the subject of dark matter and dark energy in 24 lectures. He explains why scientists believe we live in a smooth, expanding universe that originated in a hot, dense state called the Big Bang. He describes the features of the infant universe that led to the large-scale structure we observe today. He takes you through the standard model of particle physics and shows how it provides the framework for understanding the interaction...

They may seem like movie subtitles or complicated tv show plots, but there is truth in the ideas. Would you step over the line and into a new world both similar and different to the one you know? How close are we to finding another version of you―and how many are there in existence? How would you know who's who? And are there any ethical conundrums that might be crossed with talking to yourself? If only we could ask our other selves to be sure ....
