Forces of Nature de Brian Cox

Forces of Nature

Autor Brian Cox, Andrew Cohen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 mar 2018
A breathtaking and beautiful exploration of our planet, this groundbreaking book accompanies the acclaimed BBC TV series, providing the deepest answers to the simplest questions.
'What is motion?'
'Why is every snowflake different?'
'Why is life symmetrical?'
To answer these and many other questions, Professor Brian Cox uncovers some of the most extraordinary natural events on Earth and in the Universe and beyond.
From the immensity of the Universe and the roundness of Earth to the form of every single snowflake, the forces of nature shape everything we see. Pushed to extremes, the results are astonishing. In seeking to understand the everyday world, the colours, structure, behaviour and history of our home, we develop the knowledge and techniques necessary to step beyond the everyday and approach the Universe beyond.
Forces of Nature takes you to the great plains of the Serengeti, the volcanoes of Indonesia and the precipitous cliffs in Nepal, to the humpback whales of the Caribbean and the northern lights of the Arctic. Brian will answer questions on Earth that will illuminate our understanding of the Universe.
Think you know our planet?

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

A breathtaking and beautiful exploration of our planet, this ground-breaking book accompanies the acclaimed BBC TV series, providing the deepest answers to the simplest questions.

How did life on Earth begin?

What is the nature of space and time?

What are the chances that we will discover life on other worlds?

Forces of Nature takes you from the mid-Atlantic ridge in Iceland, the volcanoes of Indonesia and the precipitous cliffs in Nepal, to the manatees off the coast of Florida andthe northern lights of the Arctic, in search of the fundamental laws that govern our world.

These universal laws shape everything, from the structure of snowflakes to the elegantspirals of the galaxies. By seeking to understand the everyday world – the colours,structure, behaviour and history of our home – we can step beyond the everyday andapproach the Universe beyond.
