Download or read book Our Place in the Universe written by Sun Kwok and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-22 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have ever wanted to understand the basic principles of astronomy and celestial movements, you should read this book. Using pictures of the sky observed from different places on Earth, as well as drawings of ancient astronomical methods and tools, Prof. Sun Kwok tells this story in an entertaining and fascinating way. Since the beginning of human civilization, people have wondered about the structure of the cosmos and our place in the Universe. More than 2,000 years ago, our ancestors knew that the seasons were unequal, the Earth was an unattached object floating in space, and stars existed that they could not see. From celestial observations, they concluded that the Earth was round. Using simple tools and mathematics, ancient astronomers accurately determined the sizes of the Earth and Moon, the distance to the Moon, and the lengths of the months and year. With a clever device called the armillary sphere, Greek astronomers could predict the times of sunrise and sunset on any day of the year, at any place on Earth. They developed sophisticated mathematical models to forecast Mars’ motions hundreds of years into the future. Find out how ancient observers achieved these remarkable feats. With minimal use of mathematics, this book retraces the footsteps of our ancestors, explains their intellectual journeys in simple terms, and explores the philosophical implications of these discoveries.

Download or read book Cracking the Timeline written by Ruth Rosemary and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-03-10 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History versus science, history versus history, or history with science--who has it right? In this book, you will be challenged to think differently about BC history. Discover a calendar that is over five thousand years old and how the younger calendars go with it in this timeline. Discover a reason why different dates are assigned to the same event. Explore why the Second Temple of Judaism which stood partly BC and partly AD for about 420 years can have a start date in the 500s BC and 300s BC. Discover concurrent event reading of the Bible as it relates to history. Discover the accuracy preserved by forefathers and more. With the use of the Gregorian calendar beginning in the 1500s, we read BC history with dates that go backward as events move forward. This is exactly the opposite of our current dates where the dates move forward as events move forward. In this book there is a BC to AD timeline of the Bible, some history and some prophesied events. As you read, you will go on a journey through history, and put together past and present through what was written down about events and prophesied events. 157

Book excerpt: Completely revised and updated, this new edition provides a readable, beautifully illustrated journey through world cultures and the vibrant array of sky mythology, creation stories, models of the universe, temples and skyscrapers that each culture has created to celebrate and respond to the power of the night sky.

Beautiful photographs of temples in India and Asia have been added, as well as new diagrams explaining the alignment of these structures and the astronomical underpinnings of temples within the Pallava and Chola cultures. From new fieldwork in the Four Corners region of North America, Dr. Penprase has included accounts of Pueblo skywatching and photographs of ceremonial kivas that help elucidate the rich astronomical knowledge of the Pueblo people. The popular “Archaeoastronomy of Skyscrapers” section of the book has been updated as well, with new interpretations of skyscrapers in Indonesia, Taiwan and China.With the rapid pace of discovery in astronomy and astrophysics, entirely new perspectives are emerging about dark matter, inflation and the future of the universe. The Power of Stars puts these discoveries in context and describes how they fit into the modern perspective of cosmology, which has arisen from the universal human response to the sky that has inspired both ancient and modern cultures.
