Fixing the Sky
Columbia University Press 2010; US$ 23.99As the alarm over global warming spreads, radical ideas are taking hold: if cuts in greenhouse gas emissions are insufficient, let's use reflective nanoparticles to bounce sunlight directly into space or launch mirrors into orbit around the earth. We could make clouds thicker and brighter or surround Arctic sea ice with a huge plastic flotilla. Yet... more...
Let There Be Light
World Scientific Publishing Company 2013; US$ 153.00This book is the first of its kind devoted to the key role played by light and electromagnetic radiation in the universe. Readers are introduced to philosophical hypotheses such as the economy, symmetry and the universality of natural laws, and are then guided to practical consequences such as the rules of geometrical optics and even Einstein's... more...
