Download or read book An Introduction to the Evolution of Single and Binary Stars written by Matthew Benacquista and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-11-28 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Introduction to the Evolution of Single and Binary Stars provides physicists with an understanding of binary and single star evolution, beginning with a background and introduction of basic astronomical concepts. Although a general treatment of stellar structure and evolution is included, the text stresses the physical processes that lead to stellar mass compact object binaries that may be sources of observable gravitational radiation. Basic concepts of astronomy, stellar structure and atmospheres, single star evolution, binary systems and mass transfer, compact objects, and dynamical systems are covered in the text. Readers will understand the astrophysics behind the populations of compact object binary systems and have sufficient background to delve deeper into specific areas of interest. In addition, derivations of important concepts and worked examples are included. No previous knowledge of astronomy is assumed, although a familiarity with undergraduate quantum mechanics, classical mechanics, and thermodynamics is beneficial.

Download or read book The Power of Stars written by Bryan E. Penprase and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-05 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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. Sections on the archaeoastronomy of South Asia and South East Asia have been expanded, with original photography and new research on temple alignments in Southern India, and new material describing the astronomical practices of Indonesia, Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries. 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.

Book excerpt: In an original and compelling examination of traditional mathematics, this comprehensive study of the anonymous Manual of Mongolian Astrology and Divination (published by A. Mostaert in 1969) takes on the fundamental problem of the post-enlightenment categorization of knowledge, in particular the inherently problematic realms of religion and science, as well as their subsets, medicine, ritual, and magic. In the process of elucidating the rhetoric and logic shaping this manual the author reveals not only the intertwined intellectual history of Eurasia from Greece to China but also dismantles many of the discourses that have shaped its modern interpretations.

Download or read book The Book of Knowledge of Good and Evil written by Ron Henderson and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After at least 20 years of my research in the Bible, beginning with the mission of trying to prove that the Bible is the Word of God, I have come to the conclusion that the Bible was not written perfectly, therefore concluding that maybe we shouldn't be so lazy, as to call the entire Bible The Word of God anymore. Instead, maybe scholars should do as I have done, and make it our mission to find the perfect word in the Bible. If some of us work together in this direction, we can at the very least salvage the Word of God in the Bible, before the antichristian world provides enough information to try to discredit the Bible altogether. In addition, this book provides an inside window into some real spiritual warfare taking place right now. The Book of Knowledge of Good and Evil also provides possible end results depending on which side wins these specific battles. If you worship God only this book will be of comfort to you, but if you not only worship God, but the apostles and prophets also, putting them on the same pedestal as God Almighty, you may wind up disliking me and this book. One of the main reasons why I wrote this book is to take the churches out of their comfort zone. My hope is many Christians all over the world will dig in their Bible and try to prove me wrong. Who knows, maybe we will all learn something new as a result. As for the ministers, preachers, pastors and priest who think it is their job to make themselves rich by taking their congregations hard earned money, who are too lazy to open the Bible to even challenge me. When you tell your congregation that I'm the devil or a servant of the devil, then may the authority of this book turn your church upside down and lay it to waste!

Download or read book East Asian Archaeoastronomy written by Zhenoao Xu and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2000-11-17 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical astronomical records can play an important role in modern research, especially in the case of ancient Chinese observational data: sunspot and aurora records are important for the study of solar variability; solar and lunar eclipse records for the study of the Earth's rotation; records of Comet Hally for the study of orbital evolution; "guest star" records for the study of supernova remnants; planetary conjunction records for research in astronomical chronology. In the past, Western scientists have not been able to exploit these valuable data fully because the original records were difficult to gather and interpret, and complete English translations have not been available. East-Asian Archaeoastronomy is the first comprehensive translation into English of such historical records for modern research. The book also features an introduction to East Asian astronomy and offers guidance on how to use the records effectively. It will not only be a valuable research tool for astronomers but should also be of great interest to historians of China and Chinese science.
