Recenzii
This
is
a
book
that
is
rich
in
the
poetry
of
scientific
language.
...
Not
only
does
[Scharf]
know
more
about
the
universe
than
you
or
I
do,
he
knows
how
to
transmit
his
knowledge
by
deft
use
of
analogy.
Scharf makes vivid the mind-boggling nature of the universe. . . [There are] bright beams of knowledge coming from this excellent book
A virtuosic history of the universe... [Scharf] serves as an appealing tour guide to the eerie, infinite corridors of the cosmos in which we reside
This heady story of astronomical endeavour and cosmic conjecture prompts a happy mix of marvels
A wonderfully detailed tapestry of what modern astronomy is all about . . . Using rich language and a brilliant command of metaphor, [Scharf] takes on some of the most intricate topics in . . . astronomical research
Caleb Scharf is a lively and eloquent writer as well as a fine scientist.Gravity's Enginesis particularly welcome because it presents topics at the frontiers of our understanding which have not hitherto been presented so clearly to a general readership
InGravity's Engines, Caleb Scharf tells the mind-blowing story of 'supermassive' black holes, the true masters of the Universe. Black holes are smaller than the Solar System yet project their power across the cosmos, sculpting entire galaxies of stars. They might appear esoteric and remote, but as Scharf explains, life on Earth may have been utterly impossible without them
