Описание: Explores the events of the two main Chindit missions - Operation Longcloth and Operation Thursday.
An insider's history of the world's largest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider: why it was built, how it works, and the importance of what it has revealed.
Since 2008 scientists have conducted experiments in a hyperenergized, 17-mile supercollider beneath the border of France and Switzerland. The Large Hadron Collider (or what scientists call the LHC) is one of the wonders of the modern world--a highly sophisticated scientific instrument designed to re-create in miniature the conditions of the universe as they existed in the microseconds following the big bang. Among many notable LHC discoveries, one led to the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics for revealing evidence of the existence of the Higgs boson, the so-called God particle.
Picking up where he left off in The Quantum Frontier, physicist Don Lincoln shares an insider's account of the LHC's operational history and gives readers everything they need to become well informed on this marvel of technology.
Writing about the LHC's early days, Lincoln offers keen insight into an accident that derailed the operation nine days after the collider's 2008 debut. A faulty solder joint started a chain reaction that caused a massive explosion, damaged 50 superconducting magnets, and vaporized large sections of the conductor. The crippled LHC lay dormant for over a year, while technical teams repaired the damage.
Lincoln devotes an entire chapter to the Higgs boson and Higgs field, using several extended analogies to help explain the importance of these concepts to particle physics. In the final chapter, he describes what the discovery of the Higgs boson tells us about our current understanding of basic physics and how the discovery now keeps scientists awake over a nagging inconsistency in their favorite theory.
As accessible as it is fascinating, The Large Hadron Collider reveals the inner workings of this masterful achievement of technology, along with the mind-blowing discoveries that will keep it at the center of the scientific frontier for the foreseeable future.
Описание: Drawing on research into leadership and emotional intelligence, this book presents a framework that can lead to effective change implementation.

Описание: This book focuses on how educators can efficiently establish ongoing rapport with each student through three simple steps: Seeing beyond barriers, sharing their intentions, and showing their "face".
Описание: Did the Nobel Prize In Physics in 2013 Make Einstein Turn In His Grave?The Higgs Fake - How Particle Physicists Fooled the Nobel Committee is a merciless critique of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and of the theoretical model on which the world's most expensive experiment is based. Unzicker, a German physicist and award-winning science writer, argues that the reaction of the Swedish Academy to last year's discovery appears to be a result of being beguiled by CERN's attempts to justify the billions of dollars of public money being spent.The book starts off by claiming that the greatest physicists such as Einstein, Dirac of Schr dinger would have considered the "discovery" of the Higgs particle ridiculous. The reasons, according to the author, are that: "1) the so-called standard model has grown unbelievably complicated, 2) none of the great riddles of physics that have persisted for a century have been solved, 3) history suggests that the current model is a dead end, 4) with their ever-more intricate experimental techniques, particle physicists are fooling themselves with alleged results, 5) scientific convictions in the community are established by blind faith in expert opinions, group-think and parroting, and 6) the data analysis in its complexity cannot be overseen by anybody."Unzicker gives a historical survey of the field, and concludes that particle physics, as practiced since 1930, is "a futile enterprise in its entirety." The book is peppered with a series of funny quotes from famous philosophers and scientists. In the last section, "Antidotes," he specifically attacks "the overstated claims by famous physicists such as Rolf-Dieter Heuer, Michio Kaku, Lisa Randall, Sean Carroll, Brian Cox and Jim Al-Khalili." At the end, Unzicker lists questions that he would like to be asked to particle physicists at press conferences, hearings and discussions.Unzicker's books have been praised as "well-grounded, sound, and] informed," and as "vehement pleading for physics as a natural science, in its best tradition," but also dismissed by particle physicists as an "incoherent rant" and "time-wasting nonsense." The new book, written in an even more explicit and provocative tone, is likely to upset the high energy physics community.Praise for previous books of the author: The assertion that "science means, after all, not being a sucker" is well worth taking to heart. - Publishersweekly A broad dismissal of modern theoretical physicists...Unzicker also targets the massive expenditures of funds on high-energy particle accelerators. - Kirkus ReviewsUnzicker dares to think outside the mainstream. A refreshing and provoking book... - Prof. Hans Volker Klapdor-Kleingrothaus, University of Heidelberg Timely needed revision of contemporary physics idiocies. - Prof. Antonio Ruiz de Elvira, University of Alcal de Henares A passionate and profound search for scientific truth. Unzicker's questions to particle physicists at CERN are justified. PD Peter Thirolf, nuclear physicist at Munich University.A major contribution to physics... Unzicker is pointing out that the emperor is naked... The establishment scientists will curse and moan. - Edwin E Klingman, author, former NASA Research Physicist

Описание:
When we go through hard times we long for those who understand, who have gone down this road before us. This is your tribe.
In this second edition of She Writes for Him: Stories of Living Hope you will hear voices of women sharing discoveries of hope, and even joy, they've uncovered in the most unlikely circumstances--the hard places of cancer, addiction, abuse, mental health issues, and suffering.
Voices of experience, empathy, and encouragement share the shock of a cancer diagnosis, the need for a support structure, and how to endure the long haul of treatments.
When addiction reaches into a family, one woman finds a way to honor her alcoholic father, another shares how to deal with addicted family members, and a third shares her path to triumph over a very real food addiction. From mental and spiritual abuse to the often-hidden shame of mental illness, to escaping the violence of an outlaw gang, women relate their candid true-life stories.
These transparent accounts of finding the hope Christ gives will strengthen your faith and bring you inspiration for the circumstances of your own life.
