Cosmic Rays in Magnetospheres of the Earth and other Planets
Author: Lev Dorman
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402092393
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 770
Book Description
The problem of cosmic ray (CR) geomagnetic effects came to the fore at the beg- ning of the 1930s after the famous expeditions by J. Clay onboard ship (Slamat) between the Netherlands and Java using an ionization chamber. Many CR la- tude expeditions were organized by the famous scientists and Nobel Laureates R. Millikan and A. Compton. From the obtained latitude curves it follows that CRs cannot be gamma rays (as many scientists thought at that time), but must be charged particles. From measurements of azimuthally geomagnetic effect at that time it also followed that these charged particles must be mostly positive (see Chapter 1, and for more details on the history of the problem see monographs of Irina Dorman, M1981, M1989). The ?rst explanations of obtained results were based on the simple dipole - proximation of the geomagnetic ?eld and the theory of energetic charged particles moving in dipole magnetic ?elds, developed in 1907 by C. Stormer ̈ to explain the aurora phenomenon. Let us note that it was made about 5 years before V. Hess discovered CRs, and received the Nobel Prize in 1936 together with K. Anderson (for the discovery of CR and positrons in CR).

The Theory of Everything and the Man Who Could Save the Earth
Author: Dennis Zamudio Flores
Publisher: Partridge Publishing Singapore
ISBN: 1482855402
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
A mans love for nature could turn out to be the greatest love for humanity, and such a fondness could ultimately pave the way on his quest to enlighten and encourage everyone about the essence of that loveto passionately save the earth and its biodiversity from destruction. By saving the earth from the ravages of anthropogenic climate changedeforestation, peak oil, and rising seasa love for nature can reverse the trends and therefore prolong life for not only the planet but for human beings as well. The Theory of Everything and the Man Who Could Save the Earth is dedicated to nature conservationists and environmental advocates from around the world, and it explores a philosophical solution to the catastrophe of global climate change. Formulating a so-called theory of everything that can apply not just to physics, astronomy, and the sciencesbut to philosophy, knowledge, and history as wellit provides a framework to challenge long-held truths and overcome extremism, skepticism, and superstitious beliefs. A unified, consistent model of the universe, its origin, and its operation may provide a panacea in a world troubled by climate change and fundamentalism. Bringing together science with religion and the history of ideas can crystallize a worldview rooted in a love for both knowledge and naturean essential part of the vision for preventing environmental collapse and saving human existence.

The Earth's Children Series 6-Book Bundle
Author: Jean M. Auel
Publisher: Bantam
ISBN: 0345546008
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 5589
Book Description
A literary phenomenon, Jean M. Auel’s prehistoric odyssey is one of the best-loved sagas of our time. Employing meticulous research and the consummate artistry of a master storyteller, Auel paints a vivid panorama of the dawn of modern humans. Through Ayla, an orphaned girl who grows into a beautiful and courageous young woman, we are swept up in the harsh and beautiful Ice Age world, home to the Clan of the Cave Bear. Now, for the first time, all six novels in the Earth’s Children® series are available in one convenient eBook bundle: THE CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR THE VALLEY OF HORSES THE MAMMOTH HUNTERS THE PLAINS OF PASSAGE THE SHELTERS OF STONE THE LAND OF PAINTED CAVES A natural disaster leaves a young girl wandering alone in an unfamiliar and dangerous land until she is found by a woman of the Clan, people very different from her own kind. To them, blond, blue-eyed Ayla looks peculiar and ugly—she is one of the Others, those who have moved into their ancient homeland; but Iza cannot leave the girl to die and takes her with them. Iza and Creb, the old Mog-ur, grow to love her, and as Ayla learns the ways of the Clan and Iza’s way of healing, most come to accept her. But the brutal and proud youth who is destined to become the Clan’s next leader sees Ayla’s differences as a threat to his authority. He develops a deep and abiding hatred for the strange girl of the Others who lives in their midst, and is determined to get his revenge. Praise for the Earth’s Children® series “Auel is a highly imaginative writer. She humanizes prehistory and gives it immediacy and clarity.”—The New York Times Book Review “Storytelling in the grand tradition . . . From the violent panorama of spring on the steppes to musicians jamming on a mammoth-bone marimba, Auel’s books are a stunning example of world building. They join the short list of books, like James Clavell’s Shogun and Frank Herbert’s Dune, that depict exotic societies so vividly that readers almost regard them as ‘survival manuals.’ ”—Vogue “Jean Auel has established herself as one of our premier storytellers. . . . Her narrative skill is supreme.”—Chicago Tribune “Pure entertainment at its sublime, wholly exhilarating best.”—Los Angeles Times “Readers who fell in love with little Ayla will no doubt revel in her prehistoric womanhood.”—People “Lively and interesting, enhanced greatly by the vividly colored backdrop of early humanity . . . Auel is a prodigious researcher.”—The Washington Post Book World “Among modern epic spinners, Auel has few peers. . . . She deftly creates a whole world, giving a sense of the origins of class, ethnic, and cultural differences that alternately divide and fascinate us today.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
