His talents are vividly revealed in this exciting and penetrating explanation of how the central laws of physical science evolved — from Pythagoras' discovery of frequency ratios in the 6th century B.C. to today's research on elementary particles.\u003cbr\u003eUnlike many books on physics which focus entirely on fact and theory with little or no historic detail, the present work incorporates fascinating personal and biographical data about the great physicists of past and present. Thus Dr. Gamow discusses on an equal basis the trail of Galileo and the basic laws of mechanics which he discovered, or gives his personal recollections about Niels Bohr along with detailed discussion of Bohr's atomic model. You'll also find revealing glimpses of Newton, Huygens, Heisenberg, Pauli, Einstein, and many other immortals of science.\u003cbr\u003eEach chapter is centered around a single great figure, or at most two, with other physicists of the era and their contributions forming a background. Major topics include the dawn of physics, the Dark Ages and the Renaissance, Newtonian physics, heat as energy, electricity, the relativistic revolution, quantum theory, and the atomic nucleus and elementary particles.\u003cbr\u003eAs Dr. Gamow points out in the Preface, the aim of this book is to give the reader the feeling of what physics \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e, and what kind of people physicists \u003ci\u003eare\u003c\/i\u003e.

Can one find a natural aesthetic that corresponds to a universal order? If so, what importance can it have for the scientist, artist, or layman? What is the \"true\" significance of the triangle, rectangle, spiral, and other geometric shapes? These are but a few of the questions that Professor Matila Ghyka deals with in this fascinating book. The author believes that there are such things as \"The Mathematics of Life\" and \"The Mathematics of Art,\" and that the two coincide. Using simple mathematical formulas, most as basic as Pythagoras' theorem and requiring only a very limited knowledge of mathematics, Professor Ghyka shows the fascinating relationships between geometry, aesthetics, nature, and the human body.\u003cbr\u003eBeginning with ideas from Plato, Pythagoras, Archimedes, Ockham, Kepler, and others, the author explores the outlines of an abstract science of space, which includes a theory of proportions, an examination of \"the golden section,\" a study of regular and semi-regular polyhedral, and the interlinking of these various shapes and forms. He then traces the transmission of this spatial science through the Pythagorean tradition and neo-Pythagorism, Greek, and Gothic canons of proportion, the Kabbala, Masonic traditions and symbols, and modern applications in architecture, painting, and decorative art. When we judge a work of art, according to his formulation, we are making it conform to a pattern whose outline is laid down in simple geometrical figures; and it is the analysis of these figures both in art and nature that forms the core of Professor Ghyka's book. He also shows this geometry at work in living organisms. The ample illustrations and figures give concrete examples of the author's analysis: the Great Pyramid and tomb of Rameses IV, the Parthenon, Renaissance paintings and architecture, the work of Seurat, Le Corbusier, and flowers, shells, marine life, the human face, and much more. \u003cbr\u003eFor the philosopher, scientist, archaeologist, art historian, biologist, poet, and artist as well as the general reader who wants to understand more about the fascinating properties of numbers and geometry, and their relationship to art and life, this is a thought-provoking book. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eReprint of the 1946 edition.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Matila Ghyka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159412949313,"sku":"9780486235424","price":9.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/3262\/5985\/products\/9780486235424.jpg?v=1710206626"},{"product_id":"9780486235639","title":"Cookery and Dining in Imperial Rome","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis is the first English translation of \u003ci\u003eApicius de re Coquinaria\u003c\/i\u003e, the oldest known cookbook in existence.

On December 17, 1903, two bicycle mechanics from Dayton, Ohio, achieved the first sustained, powered, heavier-than-air flight in a machine of their own design and construction. This book offers a concise and fascinating history of that remarkable accomplishment, much of it in the words of the inventors themselves. The heart of the book is Orville Wright's personal account, written in connection with an obscure lawsuit filed against the U.S. government. Long forgotten until a typewritten copy was discovered among the Wright papers at the Library of Congress, it is the best, most detailed account of how the Wright brothers succeeded in creating the machine that lifted man into the sky on wings.\u003cbr\u003eThe brothers first became interested in the problem of flight after reading about the glider experiments of Otto Lilienthal, a 19th-century German engineer. Experimenting first with kites and gliders, they developed a revolutionary wing design that helped solve the crucial problem of maintaining lateral equilibrium. Later, they added a movable rudder that eliminated the tendency of the machine to go into a tailspin. In addition to these critical innovations, the two inventors developed new accurate tables of \"life\" pressures and an original theory of air propellers. Slowly, methodically, with patience, perseverance, ingenuity, and inspired invention, they solved the problems that had defeated so many experimenters before them.\u003cbr\u003eFinally, on a gusty winter day in North Carolina, the Wright brothers flew their little motor-driven biplane off the sand at Kitty Hawk (actually Kill Devil Hills) and into the pages of history. Although the first flight lasted only about 12 seconds and covered barely 120 feet, it was the first time a machine carrying a man and driven by a motor had lifted itself from the ground in controlled free flight. A new era had begun and the world would never be the same again.\u003cbr\u003eThe achievement of the Wright brothers is placed in historical context in the absorbing and informative introduction to this volume, written by Fred C. Kelly, author of two standard works on the Wrights. Mr. Kelly has also written an illuminating commentary, including fascinating anecdotes about the Wrights, their personalities and later aspects of their career. As an extra bonus, a lively popular account of the Wrights' success, written in 1908 by both brothers, has been included in an Appendix. Enhanced by 76 photographs, including many rare views of the Wrights and their flying machines, this book offers a thrilling reading experience for anyone interested in aviation, its pioneers, or the mechanics of flights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eReprint of the David McKay Company, Inc., New York, 1953 edition.\u003c\/div\u003e space museum;aviation history;bishop wright;aviation pioneers;wright bros;glider pilot;aircraft design;aviation industry;technical history;jet propulsion;test flight;kite flying;airplane flight;devil hills;le mans;kill devil;greenfield village;air flying;brothers invented;120 feet;successful flying;brothers story;air craft;mechanical skills;famous brothers;brothers flew;powered flight;printing business;successful flight;human flight;manned flight;financial reward;studying birds;air flight;print shop;hockey stick;bicycle shop;bachelor brothers;family letters;bike shop;kitty hawk;war department;hundred feet;typhoid fever;legal battles;changed history;trials tribulations;researched history;flying machines;family support;panama canal;pictures included;unlikely heroes;intellectual curiosity;outer banks;college education;david mccullough;technical detail;scientific method;rockingham;north carolina;cobblestone;aeronautical;fundamentals;chanute;mcculloughs;propellers;heavier-than-air;aerodynamics;tinkerers;huffman;wrights;aeronautics;license;2003;swatch;gliders;cemetery;engineering;commercial;motorized;wing;wilber;aviators;patents;flyers;lawsuits;bicycles;smithsonian;1903;mechanics;inventors;demonstrations;geniuses;airplanes;flights;engine;ingenuity;components;planes;correspondence;accomplishments;invention;achievement","brand":"Orville Wright","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159531176257,"sku":"9780486256627","price":9.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/3262\/5985\/products\/9780486256627.jpg?v=1710182417"},{"product_id":"9780486265513","title":"The Napoleon of Notting Hill","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eA comical futurist fantasy, first published in 1904, about a tradition-loving suburban London community of the 1980s at war with its modernizing neighbors.
