Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verformung / umgeknickte Seiten. Walter Lewin is niet alleen een geniaal wetenschapper, hij staat er vooral ook om bekend de meest ingewikkelde formules begrijpelijk te maken, en zelfs tot leven te wekken. Zo liet hij in de collegezaal een sloopkogel op zich af slingeren en zette hij zichzelf onder stroom met meer dan driehonderdduizend volt. Lewins colleges zijn een ware online hit; ze worden jaarlijks door meer dan twee miljoen mensen bekeken. Ook reist Lewin de hele wereld rond om iedereen de schoonheid van de natuurkunde aan den lijve te laten ondervinden. Gek op natuurkunde is een even aanstekelijk als erudiet boek dat je ogen opent voor de wereld om je heen: hét natuurkundeboek dat iedereen op de middelbare school gehad zou willen hebben. Walter Lewin is geboren en getogen in Nederland. Na zijn studie natuurkunde in Delft vertrok hij naar Amerika en werkte daar meer dan veertig jaar aan het prestigieuze MIT. Hij heeft meer dan 450 wetenschappelijke publicaties op zijn naam staan en werd recentelijk verkozen tot een van de 300 beste professoren van de VS. Warren Goldstein, met wie Lewin dit boek schreef, is als hoogleraar geschiedenis verbonden aan de universiteit van Hartford.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. X-ray binaries are some of the most varied and perplexing systems known to astronomers. The compact object which accretes mass from its companion star may be a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole, whereas the donor star can be a 'normal' star or a white dwarf. The various combinations differ widely in their behaviour, and this timely volume provides a unique reference of our knowledge to date of all of them. Fifteen specially written chapters by a team of the world's foremost researchers in the field explore all aspects of the X-ray binaries. They cover the X-ray, ultraviolet, optical and radio properties of these violent systems and address key issues such as: how were these systems formed, and what will be their fate; how can we understand X-ray bursts, and how the quasi-periodic oscillations; what is the connection between millisecond radio pulsars and low-mass X-ray binaries; and how does the magnetic field of a neutron star decay? This long awaited review provides graduate students and researchers with the standard reference on X-ray binaries for many years to come. X-ray binaries are some of the most intriguing and perplexing systems known to astronomers. This volume includes fifteen specially written chapters by researchers in the field. They cover the X-ray, ultraviolet, optical and radio properties of these violent systems, and address all the key issues of this complex field. This item is printed on demand.
