Black Holes, Wormholes, and Time Machines by
Bringing the material up to date, Black Holes, Wormholes and Time Machines, Second Editioncaptures the new ideas and discoveries made in physics since the publication of the best-selling first edition. While retaining the popular format and style of its predecessor, this edition explores the latest developments in high-energy astroparticle physics and Big Bang cosmology. The book continues to make the ideas and theories of modern physics easily understood by anyone, from researchers to students to general science enthusiasts. Taking you on a journey through space and time, author Jim Al-Khalili covers some of the most fascinating topics in physics today, including: Black holes Space warps The Big Bang Time travel Wormholes Parallel universes Professor Al-Khalili explains often complex scientific concepts in simple, nontechnical terms and imparts an appreciation of the cosmos, helping you see how time traveling may not be so far-fetched after all.

The Cambridge Atlas of Astronomy by
The Cambridge Atlas of Astronomy is a comprehensive account of the results of our physical and intellectual exploration of the Universe. The 1980s is an exciting period for space exploration: the early big-budget manned space spectacles have been replaced by the regular flights of the Space Shuttle to launch and service satellites, to carry scientists into orbit to do research on board Spacelab, and in 1986 to bear the Space Telescope aloft to provide the most detailed views yet of deep-space objects. The infrared astronomy satellite IRAS has recently shown us stars being born and presented us with astonishing views of the centre of our Galaxy. The X-ray detecting satellite Exosat is providing us with images of X-ray sources ten times fainter than were detectable by its predecessor, the Einstein Observatory. The images and results of all recent astronomical investigations are included in the Atlas with expert analysis and explanation from a team of astronomers and consultants at the forefront of modern astronomy and astrophysics. The Atlas is made complete by the inclusion of chapters on the history of astronomy and on cosmology. From the Earth itself, out through the planets to the most distant galaxies this Atlas is the most complete and authoritative one volume reference book on astronomy that is available.
