Doplněné vydání knihy světoznámého fyzika a popularizátora vědy Georga Gamowa Pan Tompkins v říši divů. Russell Stannard doplnil a rozšířil výklad knihy o nové pojmy, jako je velký třesk, černé díry, antihmota, teorie „tepelné smrti vesmíru“, kvarky a připsal nové kapitoly stejně humorné a vtipné, jako by byly z pera samotného Gamowa.
Zasvěcený přehled nejlepších značek červených vín, odborné informace o degustaci, prodávání a skladování vína s mnoha fotografiemi.
The book advocates for a countercultural approach to Christianity that embraces the Bible's radical otherness. Through a blend of theology, philosophy, poetry, and cultural criticism, it encourages readers to engage with biblical texts in a transformative way, renewing their understanding of its core messages. Michael Edwards invites a fresh encounter with scripture, emphasizing its relevance and depth in contemporary society.
The return to English poetry of the first Briton in the Academie francaise
Superb high-level study of one of the most influential classics in mathematics examines landmark 1859 publication entitled “On the Number of Primes Less Than a Given Magnitude,” and traces developments in theory inspired by it. Topics include Riemann's main formula, the prime number theorem, the Riemann-Siegel formula, large-scale computations, Fourier analysis, and other related topics. English translation of Riemann's original document appears in the Appendix.
This introduction to algebraic number theory via the famous problem of "Fermats Last Theorem" follows its historical development, beginning with the work of Fermat and ending with Kummers theory of "ideal" factorization. The more elementary topics, such as Eulers proof of the impossibilty of x+y=z, are treated in an uncomplicated way, and new concepts and techniques are introduced only after having been motivated by specific problems. The book also covers in detail the application of Kummers theory to quadratic integers and relates this to Gauss'theory of binary quadratic forms, an interesting and important connection that is not explored in any other book.
Champagne is synonymous with celebration and success―but have its festive associations detracted from its status as a fine wine in its own right? Drawing on his intimate knowledge of a classic but rapidly changing region, Michael Edwards takes a radically different approach in this unrivaled, terroir -based guide to the world’s best sparkling wines. Ninety in-depth profiles of the best small growers as well as the greatest houses are organized geographically―from the finest producers of the great city of Reims, wine towns of Epernay and Aÿ, and the leading villages of the Marne, and to the rising stars of the Aube (Côte des Bar) and beyond. Edwards also discusses the culture of Champagne, reviews trends in viticulture and winemaking, and investigates controversial solutions to the current crisis of success in a region that cannot satisfy global demand for its wines. Additional sections explore the gastronomic traditions of the area, give advice on pairing Champagne with food, survey the vintages of the past 20 years, list the wines with the best price-to-quality ratio, and more, making this extensively illustrated work a true connoisseur’s guide to the most glamorous and perhaps the most enigmatic of French wines.
Harold M. Edwards' textbook offers a novel algorithmic approach to linear algebra, inspired by 19th-century constructive mathematics. It provides English descriptions of proofs that can be translated into computer code, fostering an interactive learning experience. Ideal for a one-semester course, it includes numerous examples and exercises for students and teachers alike.
