50 Physics Ideas You Really Need to Know - Joanne Baker - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

We encounter physics before we''ve even left the house in the morning; an alarm clock tracks time, a mirror reflects light waves and our mobile phones rely on satellites held in their orbit by gravity. Where would we be without the Bernoulli equation to explain how planes fly, electromagnetic waves enabling us to communicate around the world or the discovery of X-rays? In 50 Physics Ideas You Really Need to Know Joanne Baker will uncover the physics all around us, from basic concepts like gravity, light and energy through to the complexities of quantum theory, chaos and dark energy. Featuring short biographies of iconic physicists, explanatory diagrams and timelines showing discoveries within their historical context, this book is the perfect guide to the fundamental concepts of physics, making even the most challenging theories easy to understand. Contents include: Newton''s law of gravitation, Brownian motion, Chaos theory, Fleming''s right hand rule, Planck''s law, Heisenberg''s uncertainty principle, Schrodinger''s cat, Superconductivity, Rutherford''s atom, Nuclear fission and fusion, The God particle, String theory, Special and general relativity, The big bang and the Anthropic principle.

South Atlantic Requiem - Edward Wilson - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

South Atlantic Requiem - Edward Wilson - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

A brilliant, eye-opening espionage thriller by a former special forces officer ''now at the forefront of spy writing'' ''Edward Wilson seems poised to inherit the mantle of John le Carré'' Irish Independent ''More George Smiley than James Bond, Catesby will delight those readers looking for less blood and more intelligence in their spy thrillers'' Publishers Weekly April, 1982. The British prime minister and the Argentine president are both clinging to power. Downing Street, having ignored alarm bells coming from the South Atlantic, finds itself in a full-blown crisis when Argentina invades the remote and forgotten British territory of the Falklands Islands. Catesby is dispatched urgently to prevent Argentina from obtaining more lethal Exocet missiles, by fair means or foul. From Patagonia to Paris, from Chevening to the White House, he plays a deadly game of diplomatic cat and mouse, determined to avert the loss of life. The clock is ticking. Diplomats and statesmen race for a last-minute settlement while the weapons of war are primed and aimed. ''Absolutely fascinating'' Literary Review ''Gets nearer to the truth of what happened in the Falklands War than any of the standard histories. Highly recommended'' Clive Ponting '' A classic of the genre . . . as good as espionage thriller writing gets'' NB Magazine ''A stunning and ingenious book'' Crime Review Praise for Edward Wilson: ''Stylistically sophisticated . . . Wilson knows how to hold the reader''s attention'' W.G. Sebald ''A reader is really privileged to come across something like this'' Alan Sillitoe ''All too often, amid the glitzy gadgetry of the spy thriller, all the fast cars and sexual adventures, we lose sight of the essential seriousness of what is at stake. John le Carré reminds us, often, and so does Edward Wilson'' Independent

Taking the case, Detective Constable Leonard Corell quickly learns Turing is a convicted homosexual. Confident it''s a suicide, he is nonetheless confounded by official secrecy over Turing''s war record. What is more, Turing''s sexuality appears to be causing alarm among the intelligence services - could he have been blackmailed by Soviet spies? Stumbling across evidence of Turing''s genius, and sensing an escape from a narrow life, Corell soon becomes captivated by Turing''s brilliant and revolutionary work, and begins to dig deeper. But in the febrile atmosphere of the Cold War, loose cannons cannot be tolerated. As his innocent curiosity takes him far out of his depth, Corell realises he has much to learn about the dangers of forbidden knowledge.

Except for the fact that both disappear without trace, within days of each other. When Eddie''s body is found, suspicion first falls upon his brutal and uncooperative father. But when Nadine''s own father raises the alarm, Detective Chief Inspector Louise Bonì of the Freiburg police instinctively feels that the cases are connected.An abandoned barn near the river soon becomes the focus of the investigation, beginning a trail that will lead Bonì and her team across the Rhine to Colmar, confronting them with the grim secrets of outwardly respectable citizens. Sometimes it takes very little to unleash the monster in man. Translated from the German by Jamie Bulloch
