John Gribbin is one of today's greatest writers of popular science and the author of bestselling books, including In Search of Schr¿dinger's Cat, Stardust, Science: A History and Deep Simplicity. He is famous to his many fans for making complex ideas simple, and says that his aim in his writing - much of it done with his wife, Mary Gribbin - is to share with his readers his sense of wonder at the strangeness of the universe. John Gribbin train...

In 1915, Albert Einstein presented his masterwork to the Prussian Academy of Sciences-a theory of gravity, matter, space and time: the General Theory of Relativity. Einstein himself said it was "the most valuable theory of my life, " and "of incomparable beauty." It describes the evolution of the universe, black holes, the behavior of orbiting neutron stars, and why clocks run slower on the surface of the earth than in space. It even suggests ...

Dalla legge di gravità ai raggi X, dalla scoperta dell'energia nucleare alla teoria della relatività generale, fino ad arrivare alle ultime interessantissime teorie sulle "stringhe". Tutta la storia della fisica, dalla A alla Z viene affrontata con piglio entusiasta e coinvolgente, così come vengono messe in risalto le vite dei più importanti scienziati che hanno svolto un ruolo di primo piano nel grande viaggio dell'uomo alla scoperta di se s...

Reissue of a classic biography timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of his death.

A pioneering study of the science behind quantum computing and what the new quantum reality will mean for mankind. Tells the complete story of computing, from Alan Turing and Bletchley Park to the quantum computer. 'Immensely readable...' "The Times

During the middle and late 1960s, concern about the way the world might be going began to move out of the arena of academic debate amongst specialists, and became a topic of almost everyday interest to millions of people. Concern about mankind's disruption of the natural balance of 'the environment' brought the term 'ecology' into widespread use, though not always with the meaning to be found in the dictionary, and fears that world population ...

A biography of the Nobel Prize-winning Austrian physicist Erwin Schrodinger, that takes you into the heart of the quantum revolution and explains the captivating world of quantum mechanics, which underpins all of modern science.

Galaxies are the building blocks of the Universe: standing like islands in space, they are where the stars are born and where many extraordinary and little-understood phenomena can be observed. Here, renowned science writer John Gribbin explores what we have learnt about the cosmos through studying both our own galaxy and our distant neighbours.

Die Quantenphysik gilt als eine der größten Leistungen unserer Zeit - und als eine der erfolgreichsten. Klar und anschaulich führt John Gribbin in ihre Welt ein und erläutert von den Anfängen der Atomtheorie des 19. Jahrhunderts bis zur gegenwärtigen Forschung eine der aufregendsten Wissenschaften, ohne die weder Laser noch Computer denkbar wären.

In seinem jüngsten Buch geht es dem Astrophysiker John Gribbin darum, neueste Erkenntnisse aus der Elementarteilchenphysik zu vermitteln und zu zeigen, welchen Einfluß diese Erkenntnisse für unseren Begriff der Wirklichkeit haben. Im Zentrum steht das Rätsel des Lichts. Schrödingers Kätzchen wurde von der Zeitschrift »Bild der Wissenschaft« zum »Wissenschaftsbuch des Jahres 1997« gewählt.

The 20th century gave us two great theories of physics: the general theory of relativity, which describes the behaviour of things on a very large scale, including the entire Universe, and quantum theory, which describes the behaviour of things on a very small scale, the sub-atomic world. The refusal of the Universe to reveal an equation that combines these two great ideas has caused some people to doubt our whole understanding of physics. In t...

A sound and insightful exploration into the birth of British science that focuses on the story of Robert Hooke and Edmond Halley - two scientists that have long been overshadowed by Isaac Newton. The Gribbins argue that even without the father of the scientific revolution, Britain would have made a great leap forward, headed by these extraordinary men.

Nobel Prize-winning scientist Richard Lee has stirred up fanatical religious hatred with his controversial theory that chimpanzees and humans may have shared a common ancestor as little as three million years ago. When this hatred loses him both his reputation and his beloved colleague Marjorie, Lee retreats into hiding with his experiments and with Adam, an apelike creature thought by some to be Lee's own deformed love-child, or even a kind o...

The Dragon, an enormous comet, is on a trajectory that will bring it perilously close to an Earth that is still suffering from the scars of a nuclear incident, and from the problems of the Greenhouse Effect. For the optimists - those that remain - it is a sign of change for the better, for others, the comet foreshadows humanity's final doom.But to Francis Reese and the hard-pressed astronauts of the depleted space programme, the Dragon present...
