A Briefer History Of Time

The Fabric of the Cosmos
by Brian Greene
In his new widely anticipated new book, Brian Greene, one of the world's foremost string theorists and the best-selling author of The Elegant Universe , reveals the strange and stunning layers of reality modern physics has discovered lying just beneath the surface of the everyday world. Greene examines space--fromNewton's unchanging, realm, through Einstein's fusion of space and time, to recent breakthroughs suggesting that ours may be one of many island universes floating in a grand, multidimensional spatial expanse. We encounter the peculiar world of quantum physics, in which space and time are buffeted to and fro by the turbulence of quantum uncertainty. We see the paradoxical nature of time, which, according to the laws of physics, does not necessarily need to run in any particular direction. And Greene shows us how the tantalizing world of string and M-theory may unltimately provide us with the elusive unified theory of the universe. In a book infused with his characteristic wit and humor, deftly making use of analogy and characters from popular culture, Brian Greene takes us all, regardless of our scientific background, on an exhilarating journey toward understanding the physical relaity of the world we live in.
Stars and Atoms
by Stuart Clark
This innovative reference work presents the concepts of modern astronomy and cosmology in a uniquely informative and accessible manner. Through its clear, concise text, dramatic illustrations, and easy-to-use format, the book discusses the discoveries that have led to giant strides in our understanding of the universe, its origin, evolution, and eventual fate. This exciting story is one of amazing technical advances, including new super-computer modeling approaches and the Hubble Space Telescope, that are permitting scientists to probe deeper than ever into the mysteries of space, witnessing events and phenomena close to the beginning of time itself. The book begins with the startling story of the connection between astronomy and particle physics, and how scientists have learned much about the universe by studying the laws and behavior of the subatomic realm. The second section discusses the Big Bang theory, the beginning of time, the creation of matter, and the expanding universe. The following sections examine the nature of galaxies, quasars, and the myriad varieties of stars, including neutron stars and black holes, the most bizarre enigmas in nature. The volume concludes with a discussion of the perplexing problem of the missing mass and the search for dark matter, with a look at what the future holds for interstellar travel and the possibility of finding life outside our solar system. This thematic presentation is supported by a 400-entry keyword section, in which all terms and concepts are clearly and simply explained, and a factfile at the end of the book that offers essential reference material on stellar astronomy and astrophysics.

Very Good. Hardcover. Hardcover with dustjacket 1994 Basic Books / Science Masters series. Light wear; slight sun-fading to jacket edge. Clean and unmarked; pages bright; binding tight. 150 pages; Index; Further Reading. Language: English. 'There is no more profound, enduring, or fascinating question in all of science than that of how time, space, and matter began. Now John Barrow, who has been at the cutting edge of research in this area and has written extensively about it, guides readers on a journey to the beginning of time, into a world of temperatures and densities so high that we cannot re-create them in the laboratory. With new insights, he draws us into the latest speculative theories about the nature of time and the inflationary universe, explains wormholes, showing how they bear upon the fact of our own existence, and considers whether there was a singularity at the inception of the universe. Here is a treatment so up-to-date and intellectually rich, dealing with ideas and speculation at the farthest frontier of science, that neither novice nor expert will want to miss what Barrow has to say. He shows how scientists, by exploring crucial points of contact between the behavior of matter during its early history and the observed structure of the universe today, came to understand more fully all the entities in the universe --from elementary particles to great clusters of galaxies.'--from the publisher.

THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE
Barrow, John D
NY: Basic Books, 1994 Softcover. 150 pp. A volume in the Science Masters Series. 1st Printing. Illustrated with drawings. Publisher's glossy pictorial wraps. This is an unmarked copy, with only the slightest shelf-wear. FINE. There is no more profound, enduring, or fascinating question in all of science than that of how time, space, and matter began. Now John Barrow, who has been at the cutting edge of research in this area and has written extensively about it, guides readers on a journey to the beginning of time, into a world of temperatures and densities so high that we cannot re-create them in the laboratory. With new insights, he draws us into the latest speculative theories about the nature of time and the inflationary universe, explains wormholes, showing how they bear upon the fact of our own existence, and considers whether there was a singularity at the inception of the universe. Here is a treatment so up-to-date and intellectually rich, dealing with ideas and speculation at the farthest frontier of science, that neither novice nor expert will want to miss what Barrow has to say. He shows how scientists, by exploring crucial points of contact between the behavior of matter during its early history and the observed structure of the universe today, came to understand more fully all the entities in the universe from elementary particles to great clusters of galaxies. "Writing with rare stylistic verve and a real commitment to lucid explanations of complex ideas, John D. Barrow has produced a book that "expertly encapsulates our knowledge, speculations, and ques- tions about the origins of the universe" John Paulos, author of Innumeracy) and is as "up- to-date as the fixing of the Hubble telescope" (Martin Gardner) . Softcover. Fine+/No Dust Jacket. 8vo (approx 5.5 x 9.25"). ( more information) Offered by A. J. Frank & Co. (United States)
