Nespoli Paolo
Dall'alto i problemi sembrano più piccoli. Lezioni di vita imparate dallo Spazio
br. Paolo Nespoli ha trascorso, nell'arco di tre missioni, quasi un anno nello Spazio. E da lassù, vivendo in assenza di gravità, in situazioni di emergenza, osservando la Terra dall'alto, ha rivalutato alcune cose della nostra vita di tutti i giorni. In questo libro racconta a noi che stiamo a terra le lezioni che lo Spazio gli ha insegnato, con entusiasmo e chiarezza, ironia e poesia. Perché i sogni vanno coltivati con cura, ma a un certo punto, se si vogliono realizzare davvero, bisogna svegliarsi.

Nespoli Paolo
Dall'alto i problemi sembrano più piccoli. Lezioni di vita imparate dallo Spazio
ill., ril. Paolo Nespoli ha trascorso circa sei mesi nello Spazio. E da lassù, vivendo in assenza di gravità, in situazioni di emergenza, guardando la Terra dall'alto, ha capito alcune cose della nostra vita di tutti i giorni. In questo libro l'astronauta italiano racconta a noi che stiamo a terra le lezioni che lo Spazio gli ha insegnato. Con entusiasmo e chiarezza, con ironia e poesia. In orbita (e nella lunga e severa formazione da astronauta) Nespoli ha imparato nozioni pratiche e filosofiche. Vivendo in assenza di gravità, ha imparato ad assumere nuove abitudini, saper tornare bambino per apprendere di nuovo a vivere in una realtà in cui anche gli aspetti più scontati sono diversi dal solito. Costretto sempre al massimo della performance, ha imparato a lavorare in squadra, a gestire gli imprevisti, a ottimizzare il tempo, a riconoscere i propri limiti e fare tesoro dei propri errori. Ha imparato che i sogni vanno coltivati con cura, ma che a un certo punto, se si vogliono realizzare davvero, bisogna svegliarsi. Che se si guarda sempre avanti, se si punta sempre in alto, le stelle non sono poi così lontane. Mentre era sulla stazione spaziale, Nespoli ha comunicato con migliaia di "terrestri" attraverso i social network, trasmettendo informazioni, emozioni, e incantandoci con le sue meravigliose foto scattate da lassù. A volte bastano alcune immagini, selezionate e riproposte in questo libro, per capire con una vertigine come cambiano le cose osservate da un altro punto di vista.

New horizons in astronomy; proceedings. Astronomical Society of the Pacific conference series; v.432
Astronomical Society of the Pacific 2010. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. The biennial gathering is intended specifically for junior researchers and graduate students in the astronomical sciences and 2009 was its third sitting. Invited speakers reviewed the status of 10 major topics with an emphasis on what they and their peers will have to address in the coming years. Among them are searching for the first galaxies promising observational methods for detecting the epoch of re-ionization wide separation giant frontier planets and planet formation magnetic fields in low-mass evolved stars and primordial and secondary non-Gaussianity in the microwave background. In addition 18 papers reported research results in such areas as the dark matter halo shape of NGC 2976 via stellar kinematics investigating inner disk lifetimes in Ophiuchus barred galaxies in the Coma Cluster and detailed abundances in a metal-poor stellar stream. Only authors are indexed. 2010 Ringgold Inc. Portland OR Astronomical Society of the Pacific hardcover

Simon Newcomb 1835 -1909 Was A Canadian-American Astronomer Applied Mathematician And Autodidactic Polymath. Newcomb Visited Paris France In 1870 Already Aware That The Table Of Lunar Positions Calculated By Peter Andreas Hansen Was In Error. While In Paris He Realized That In Addition To The Data From 1750 To 1838 That Hansen Had Used There Was Further Data Stretching As Far Back As 1672 And Newcomb Used The "New" Data To Revise Hansen's Tables. In 1878 Newcomb Started Planning For A New And Precise Measurement Of The Speed Of Light Using A Refinement Of The Method Of L�on Foucault. A Letter From Albert Abraham Michelson Began A Long Collaboration And Friendship. In 1880 Michelson Assisted At Newcomb's Initial Measurement But Michelson Left To Start His Own Project. Miichelson Published His First Measurement In 1880 Reprinted Here But Newcomb's Measurement Was Substantially Different And In 1883 Michelson Revised His Measurement To A Value Closer To Newcomb's. In 1881 Newcomb Discovered The Statistical Principle Now Known As Benford's Law Formulating The Principle That In Any List Of Numbers Taken From An Arbitrary Set Of Data More Numbers Will Tend To Begin With "1" Than With Any Other Digit. In 1891 Within Months Of Seth Carlo Chandler's Discovery Of The 14-Month Variation Of Latitude Now Referred To As The Chandler Wobble Newcomb Explained The Apparent Conflict Between The Observed Motion And Predicted Period Of The Wobble As Due To Elasticiity; He Used The Variation Of Latitude Observations To Estimate The Elasticity Of Earth Finding It To Be Slightly More Rigid Than Steel. He Wrote On Economics And His Principles Of Political Economy 1885 Was Described By John Maynard Keynes As "One Of Those Original Works Which A Fresh Scientific Mind Not Perverted By Having Read Too Much Of The Orthodox Stuff Is Able To Produce From Time To Time In A Half-Formed Subject Like Economics." He Was Credited By Irving Fisher With The First-Known Enunciation Of The Equation Of Exchange Between Money And Goods Used In The Quantity Theory Of Money. His Reputation Suffers From His Hostility To C. S. Pierce And Also From Newcomb's Disbelief In The Possibility Of Manned Flight. Source: Wikipedia. Albert A. Michelson 1852-1931 Performed Early Measurements Of The Velocity Of Light With Amazing Delicacy And In 1881 He Invented His Interferometer For The Purpose Of Discovering The Effect Of The Earth's Motion On The Observed Velocity. In Cooperation With Professor E.W. Morley And Using The Interferometer It Was Shown That Light Travels At A Constant Speed In All Inertial Systems Of Reference. The Instrument Also Enabled Distances To Be Measured With Greater Accuracy By Means Of The Length Of Light-Waves. At The Request Of The International Committee Of Weights And Measures Michelson Measured The Standard Metre In Terms Of Wavelength Of Cadmium Light. He Invented The Echelon Spectroscope And During His Wartime Service In The Navy He Performed Research Work On Devices For Naval Use - He Developed A Rangefinder Which Was Adapted As Part Of U.S. Navy Equipment. On His Return To Civilian Life Michelson Became More Interested In Astronomy And In 1920 Using Light Interference And A Highly Developed Version Of His Earlier Instrument He Measured The Diameter Of The Star Betelgeuse: This Was The First Determination Of The Size Of A Star That Could Be Regarded As Accurate.

This Example Very Good / Near Fine Light Wear Gilt Brilliant Hinges Tight. Simon Newcomb 1835 -1909 Was A Canadian-American Astronomer Applied Mathematician And Autodidactic Polymath. Newcomb Visited Paris France In 1870 Already Aware That The Table Of Lunar Positions Calculated By Peter Andreas Hansen Was In Error. While In Paris He Realized That In Addition To The Data From 1750 To 1838 That Hansen Had Used There Was Further Data Stretching As Far Back As 1672 And Newcomb Used The "New" Data To Revise Hansen's Tables. In 1878 Newcomb Started Planning For A New And Precise Measurement Of The Speed Of Light Starting Development A Refinement Of The Method Of L�on Foucault. A Letter From Albert Abraham Michelson Began A Long Collaboration And Friendship. In 1880 Michelson Assisted At Newcomb's Initial Measurement But Michelson Left To Start His Own Project. Miichelson Published His First Measurement In 1880 But Newcomb's Measurement Was Substantially Different And In 1883 Michelson Revised His Measurement To A Value Closer To Newcomb's. In 1881 Newcomb Discovered The Statistical Principle Now Known As Benford's Law Formulating The Principle That In Any List Of Numbers Taken From An Arbitrary Set Of Data More Numbers Will Tend To Begin With "1" Than With Any Other Digit.I N 1891 Within Months Of Seth Carlo Chandler's Discovery Of The 14-Month Variation Of Latitude Now Referred To As The Chandler Wobble Newcomb Explained The Apparent Conflict Between The Observed Motion And Predicted Period Of The Wobble As Due To Elasticiity; He Used The Variation Of Latitude Observations To Estimate The Elasticity Of Earth Finding It To Be Slightly More Rigid Than Steel. He Wrote On Economics And His Principles Of Political Economy 1885 Was Described By John Maynard Keynes As "One Of Those Original Works Which A Fresh Scientific Mind Not Perverted By Having Read Too Much Of The Orthodox Stuff Is Able To Produce From Time To Time In A Half-Formed Subject Like Economics." He Was Credited By Irving Fisher With The First-Known Enunciation Of The Equation Of Exchange Between Money And Goods Used In The Quantity Theory Of Money. His Reputation Suffers From His Personal Hostility To C. S. Pierce Son Of Newcomb's First Great Mathematics Instructor And Also From Newcomb's Disbelief In The Possibility Of Manned Flight. <br/> <br/> Houghton, Mifflin And Company hardcover
