Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Unexpectedly funny. a clever ride through tech, golf, and pure creativity.' 'A love letter to human ingenuity-with a dimpled narrator you won't forget.' 'Entertaining, intelligent, and yes-full of real golf physics.' What if the idea that transformed golf came not from a brilliant engineer-but from the golf ball itself Meet Flogi: well travelled, sharply observant and considerably more intelligent than anyone suspects. He has survived wayward drives, deep rough, careless owners and journeys across half the world. Along the way, he passes between four very different friends: Sandeep, a playful Google technologist; John, a fiercely competitive aviation innovator; Henk, an eccentric space engineer; and Alan, the methodical systems expert trying to keep everyone grounded.Flogi watches as their lives intersect through golf, friendship and a seemingly impossible idea: to create the ultimate intelligent golf ball.From California fairways and European aerospace laboratories to India's technology industry, their accidental collaboration grows into an ambitious international venture. But clever inventions attract rivalry, inflated promises and spectacular opportunities for things to go wrong-and Flogi has opinions about all of it.Narrated by the most unusual member of the team, Adventures of a Golf Ball is a fast-moving, warm and witty story about human ingenuity, technological ambition and the friendships that survive both.Perfect for readers who enjoy intelligent comedy, international adventures, golf, technology-and narrators with plenty of dimples and attitude.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Look up on a clear night and you are reading two languages at once.The figures are Greek. Orion the hunter, Cassiopeia chained to her throne, the bear that Zeus placed among the stars to hide her from a jealous wife. But the individual stars mostly answer to Arabic. Betelgeuse, Aldebaran, Altair, Rigel, Deneb, Fomalhaut - these names crossed from Baghdad into Latin Europe in the twelfth century, were copied by scribes who did not speak the language, and arrived slightly broken.Betelgeuse is the best example. It should mean the hand of al-Jawza?, but a copyist misread a single Arabic letter, one dot in the wrong place, and Europe spent four hundred years inventing explanations for the mistake.This book gives you all 88 constellations, one at a time.For each you get its name and what it means, a finder panel with right ascension and declination, the months it is best seen, the latitudes it is visible from, and which constellations sit beside it. Then the Greek myth, retold in full. Then the star names, traced back to their roots - Arabic mostly, but also Greek, Latin, Persian, Sumerian, Sanskrit and Chinese - with 429 of them decoded across the book.Inside: - All 88 constellations, with a star chart of every figure- Three full sky maps: the whole sky, the northern heavens, the southern heavens- 429 star names traced to their origins and meanings- The great myth cycles explained: Perseus, Heracles, Orion, the Argonauts- Zeus in the sky, and why so many constellations are his doing- How the Arabic names reached Europe, and how they got mangled on the wayNo telescope needed, and no prior knowledge assumed. Read it in an armchair or take it outside.…
