Cracking the Einstein Code
University of Chicago Press 2009; US$ 18.00Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity describes the effect of gravitation on the shape of space and the flow of time. But for more than four decades after its publication, the theory remained largely a curiosity for scientists; however accurate it seemed, Einstein’s mathematical code—represented by six interlocking equations—was... more...
Higgs
OUP Oxford 2012; US$ 19.99The hunt for the Higgs particle has involved the biggest, most expensive experiment ever. So exactly what is this particle? Why does it matter so much? What does it tell us about the Universe? Has the discovery announced on 4 July 2012 finished the search? And was finding it really worth all the effort?The short answer is yes. The Higgs field is proposed... more...
Discovering the Solar System
Wiley 2007; US$ 220.00Discovering the Solar System, Second Edition covers the Sun, the planets, their satellites and the host of smaller bodies that orbit the Sun. This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the subject for science students, and examines the discovery, investigation and modelling of these bodies. Following a thematic approach, chapters... more...
The Void
Oxford University Press, UK 2007; US$ 18.99What is 'the void'? What remains when you take all the matter away? Can empty space - 'nothing' - exist? This little book explores the science and the history of the elusive void: from Aristotle's theories to black holes and quantum particles, and why our very latest discoveries about the vacuum can tell us extraordinary things... more...
Analysis of Gravitational-Wave Data
Cambridge University Press 2009; US$ 121.00Introducing gravitational-wave data analysis, this is an ideal starting point for researchers entering the field, and researchers currently analyzing data. more...
The Sky at Night
Springer 2010; US$ 23.99The Sky at Night book series, formerly published by Philips, documents the 40 most recent episodes of Sir Patrick Moore's record-breaking TV program of the same name. This program is the only major long-running TV program featuring astronomy topics in both the U.S. and the U.K. Each episode reviews current events and hot topics in the field of... more...
Patrick Moore's Data Book of Astronomy
Cambridge University Press 2011; US$ 48.00Full of data about the Solar System, our Galaxy and the Universe, this is a one-stop reference for all astronomers. more...
The Cambridge Star Atlas

Physics of the Universe
World Scientific Publishing Company 2010; US$ 79.00This book presents a new approach to the subject of cosmology. It fully exploits Einstein's theory of general relativity. It is found that the most general formal expression of the theory replaces the (10-component) tensor formalism with a (16-component) quaternion formalism. This leads to a unified field theory, where one field incorporates gravitation... more...
