Download or read book A Story of More Than 5000 Worlds written by Dr. Alejandro Ruiz Rivera and published by Alejandro Ruiz Rivera. This book was released on 2024-08-02 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immerse yourself on an interstellar journey through "A Story of More than 5000 Worlds'' as it explores the fascinating story of celestial discovery and the enduring quest of researchers and scientists to find life beyond Earth. This comprehensive book navigates the intricacies of star and planet formation, shedding light on the enigmatic life cycle of stars like our Sun to pulsars and black holes and the dynamic processes that define the fate of planets. Marvel at the ingenuity of exoplanet detection methods, from the accurate detection of stellar wobbles to the precise monitoring of starlight dimming during transits, and peer into the future with innovative techniques that take advantage of the deformation or curvature of the space-time caused by massive objects. The classification of these distant worlds from rocky planets to gas giants lays the groundwork for the book's climax: the search for life. Exploring biosignatures and technosignatures, from the organic and chemical traces of potential life, to the echoes of advanced technological civilizations, this book expands our understanding of the dynamicity of the universe and our place within it. It's an invitation to ponder humanity's greatest question – are we alone? – while navigating through the Drake Equation and other Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) concepts, and the silence that has prompted ideas like the Fermi Paradox, and the Great Filter. The book, in addition to acting as an engaging read for anyone interested in these subjects and given the number of topics included and the breadth of the discussions, could also be used as a complementary textbook for students at both high school and non-science bachelor levels, in introductory or fundamental astronomy courses.
Download or read book Building Imaginary Worlds written by Mark J.P. Wolf and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark J.P. Wolf’s study of imaginary worlds theorizes world-building within and across media, including literature, comics, film, radio, television, board games, video games, the Internet, and more. Building Imaginary Worlds departs from prior approaches to imaginary worlds that focused mainly on narrative, medium, or genre, and instead considers imaginary worlds as dynamic entities in and of themselves. Wolf argues that imaginary worlds—which are often transnarrative, transmedial, and transauthorial in nature—are compelling objects of inquiry for Media Studies. Chapters touch on: a theoretical analysis of how world-building extends beyond storytelling, the engagement of the audience, and the way worlds are conceptualized and experienced a history of imaginary worlds that follows their development over three millennia from the fictional islands of Homer’s Odyssey to the present internarrative theory examining how narratives set in the same world can interact and relate to one another an examination of transmedial growth and adaptation, and what happens when worlds make the jump between media an analysis of the transauthorial nature of imaginary worlds, the resulting concentric circles of authorship, and related topics of canonicity, participatory worlds, and subcreation’s relationship with divine Creation Building Imaginary Worlds also provides the scholar of imaginary worlds with a glossary of terms and a detailed timeline that spans three millennia and more than 1,400 imaginary worlds, listing their names, creators, and the works in which they first appeared.
