|
<p>The History and Practice of Ancient Astronomy combines new scholarship with hands-on science to bring readers into direct contact with the work of ancient astronomers. While tracing ideas from ancient Babylon to sixteenth-century Europe, the book places its greatest emphasis on the Greek period, when astronomers developed the geometric and philosophical ideas that have determined the subsequent character of Western astronomy. The author approaches this history through the concrete details of ancient astronomical practice. Carefully organized and generously illustrated, the book can teach readers how to do real astronomy using the methods of ancient astronomers. For example, readers will learn to predict the next retrograde motion of Jupiter using either the arithmetical methods of the Babylonians or the geometric methods of Ptolemy. They will learn how to use an astrolabe and how to design sundials using Greek and Roman techniques. The book also contains supplementary exercises and patterns for making some working astronomical instruments, including an astrolabe and an equatorium. More than a presentation of astronomical methods, the book provides a critical look at the evidence used to reconstruct ancient astronomy. It includes extensive excerpts from ancient texts, meticulous documentation, and lively discussions of the role of astronomy in the various cultures. Accessible to a wide audience, this book will appeal to anyone interested in how our understanding of our place in the universe has changed and developed, from ancient times through the Renaissance.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

An Introduction to Astronomy - Take a Journey from Earth to the Moon, from the Sun to the Planets, to the Universe and Beyond【電子書籍】[ Forest Ray Moulton, Ph.D. ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p> An Introduction to Astronomy by F.R. Moulton - The definitive text for learning about the amazing science of Astronomy.</p> <p> The progress of mankind has been marked by a number of great intellectual movements. At one time the ideas of men were expanding with the knowledge which they were obtaining from the voyages of Columbus, Magellan, and the long list of hardy explorers who first visited the remote parts of the earth. At another, millions of men laid down their lives in order that they might obtain toleration in religious beliefs. At another, the struggle was for political freedom. It is to be noted with satisfaction that those movements which have involved the great mass of people, from the highest to the lowest, have led to results which have not been lost.</p> <p> The present age is known as the age of science. Never before have so many men been actively engaged in the pursuit of science, and never before have its results contributed so enormously to the ordinary affairs of life. If all its present-day applications were suddenly and for a considerable time removed, the results would be disastrous. With the stopping of trains and steamboats the food supply in cities would soon fail, and there would be no fuel with which to heat the buildings. Water could no longer be pumped, and devastating fires might follow. If people escaped to the country, they would perish in large numbers because without modern machinery not enough food could be raised to supply the population. In fact, the more the subject is considered, the more clearly it is seen that at the present time the lives of civilized men are in a thousand ways directly dependent on the things produced by science.</p> <p> Astronomy is a science. That is, it is one of those subjects, such as physics, chemistry, geology, and biology, which have made the present age in very many respects altogether different from any earlier one. Indeed, it is the oldest science and the parent of a number of the others, and, in many respects, it is the most perfect one. For these reasons it illustrates most simply and clearly the characteristics of science. Consequently, when one enters on the study of astronomy he not only begins an acquaintance with a subject which has always been noted for its lofty and unselfish ideals, but, at the same time, he becomes familiar with the characteristics of the scientific movement.</p> <p> CHAPTER I<br /> Science</p> <p> CHAPTER II<br /> The Earth<br /> The Shape of the Earth<br /> The Mass of the Earth and the Condition of its Interior<br /> The Earth’s Atmosphere</p> <p> CHAPTER III<br /> The Motions Of The Earth<br /> The Rotation of the Earth <br /> The Revolution of the Earth<br /> <br /> CHAPTER IV<br /> Reference Points and Lines</p> <p> CHAPTER V<br /> The Constellations</p> <p> CHAPTER VI<br /> Time</p> <p> CHAPTER VII<br /> The Moon</p> <p> CHAPTER VIII<br /> The Solar System<br /> The Law of Gravitation<br /> Orbits, Dimensions, and Masses of the Planets<br /> <br /> CHAPTER IX<br /> The Planets<br /> Mercury and Venus<br /> Mars<br /> Jupiter<br /> Saturn<br /> Uranus and Neptune</p> <p> CHAPTER X<br /> Comets And Meteors<br /> Comets<br /> Meteors</p> <p> CHAPTER XI<br /> The Sun<br /> The Sun’s Heat<br /> Spectrum Analysis<br /> The Constitution of the Sun <br /> <br /> CHAPTER XII<br /> Evolution Of The Solar System<br /> General Considerations on Evolution<br /> Data of Problem of Evolution of Solar System<br /> The Planetesimal Theory<br /> Historical Cosmogonies<br /> <br /> CHAPTER XIII<br /> The Sidereal Universe<br /> The Apparent Distribution of the Stars<br /> Distances and Motions of the Stars<br /> The Stars<br /> The Nebulæ</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The History of Astronomy A Very Short Introduction【電子書籍】[ Michael Hoskin ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Astronomy, perhaps the first of the sciences, was already well developed by the time of Christ. Seventeen centuries later, after Newton showed that the movements of the planets could be explained in terms of gravitation, it became the paradigm for the mathematical sciences. In the nineteenth century the analysis of star-light allowed astrophysicists to determine both the chemical composition and the radial velocities of celestial bodies, while the development of photography enabled distant objects invisible to the human eye, to be studied and measured in comfort. Technical developments during and since the Second World War have greatly enlarged the scope of the science by permitting the study of radiation. This is a fascinating introduction to the history of Western astronomy, from prehistoric times to the origins of astrophysics in the mid-nineteenth century. Historical records are first found in Babylon and Egypt, and after two millennia the arithmetical astronomy of the Babylonians merged with the Greek geometrical approach to culminate in the Almagest of Ptolemy. This legacy was transmitted to the Latin West via Islam, and led to Copernicus's claim that the Earth is in motion. In justifying this Kepler converted astronomy into a branch of dynamics, leading to Newton's universal law of gravity. The book concludes with eighteenth- and nineteenth-century applications of Newton's law, and the first explorations of the universe of stars. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Celestial Sleuth Using Astronomy to Solve Mysteries in Art, History and Literature【電子書籍】[ Donald W. Olson ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>For a general audience interested in solving mysteries in art, history, and literature using the methods of science, 'forensic astronomy' is a thrilling new field of exploration. Astronomical calculations are the basis of the studies, which have the advantage of bringing to readers both evocative images and a better understanding of the skies.</p> <p>Weather facts, volcano studies, topography, tides, historical letters and diaries, famous paintings, military records, and the friendly assistance of experts in related fields add variety, depth, and interest to the work. The chosen topics are selected for their wide public recognition and intrigue, involving artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Edvard Munch, and Ansel Adams; historical events such as the Battle of Marathon, the death of Julius Caesar, the American Revolution, and World War II; and literary authors such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, Joyce, and Mary Shelley. This book sets out to answer these mysteries indicated with the means and expertise of astronomy, opening the door to a richer experience of human culture and its relationship with nature.</p> <p>Each subject is carefully analyzed. As an example using the study of sky paintings by Vincent van Gogh, the analytical method would include:<br /> - computer calculations of historical skies above France in the 19th century<br /> - finding and quoting the clues found in translations of original letters by Van Gogh<br /> - making site visits to France to determine the precise locations when Van Gogh set up his easel and what celestial objects are depicted.</p> <p>For each historical event influenced by astronomy, there would be a different kind of mystery to be solved. As an example:<br /> - How can the phase of the Moon and time of moonrise help to explain a turning point of the American Civil War - the fatal wounding of Stonewall Jackson at Chancellorsville in 1863?</p> <p>For each literary reference to astronomy, itwas determined which celestial objects were being described and making an argument that the author is describing an actual event. For example, what was the date of the moonlit scene when Mary Shelley first had the idea for her novel “Frankenstein?”</p> <p>These and more fun riddles will enchant and delight the fan of art and astronomy.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Sun Kings The Unexpected Tragedy of Richard Carrington and the Tale of How Modern Astronomy Began【電子書籍】[ Stuart Clark ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In September of 1859, the entire Earth was engulfed in a gigantic cloud of seething gas, and a blood-red aurora erupted across the planet from the poles to the tropics. Around the world, telegraph systems crashed, machines burst into flames, and electric shocks rendered operators unconscious. Compasses and other sensitive instruments reeled as if struck by a massive magnetic fist. For the first time, people began to suspect that the Earth was not isolated from the rest of the universe. However, nobody knew what could have released such strange forces upon the Earth--nobody, that is, except the amateur English astronomer Richard Carrington.</p> <p>In this riveting account, Stuart Clark tells for the first time the full story behind Carrington's observations of a mysterious explosion on the surface of the Sun and how his brilliant insight--that the Sun's magnetism directly influences the Earth--helped to usher in the modern era of astronomy. Clark vividly brings to life the scientists who roundly rejected the significance of Carrington's discovery of solar flares, as well as those who took up his struggle to prove the notion that the Earth could be touched by influences from space. Clark also reveals new details about the sordid scandal that destroyed Carrington's reputation and led him from the highest echelons of science to the very lowest reaches of love, villainy, and revenge.</p> <p><em>The Sun Kings</em> transports us back to Victorian England, into the very heart of the great nineteenth-century scientific controversy about the Sun's hidden influence over our planet.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
