Already thoroughly familiar to the seasoned science fiction fan, Hyperspace is that realm which enables a spaceship captain to take his ship on a physics-defying shortcut (or "wormhole") to the outer shores of the Galaxy in less time than it takes a 747 to fly from New York to Tokyo. But in the past few years, physicists on the cutting edge of science have found that a 10-dimen...(展开全部)

安妮·米勒德(Anne Millard)是一位历史学家，同时也是一位古埃及学专家。孩童时期看过的“事物起源”节目使她对历史产生了浓厚的兴趣，从此奠定了她成为历史学家的决心。米勒德曾编写过多本图书，同时也为其他图书担任过历史顾问。其中，与史蒂夫·努恩(Steve Noon)合作的《DK儿童穿越时空百科全书——穿越时空的街道》曾获得多项大奖。史蒂夫·努恩，成长于英格兰的康沃尔。他对历史有着浓厚的兴趣，并将这种兴趣与自己的作品相结合。努恩绘制的全景插图不仅技术精湛，而且细腻生动，出神入化地展现了历史的风貌。他为英国DK公司出版的多本图书绘制插图，其中《DK儿童穿越时空百科全书——穿越时空的街道》获得“英国《今日历史月刊》——年度图书奖”和“美国儿童图书协会——杰出科学童书”等奖项。文字撰写

A highly visual title that includes cross-sections that reveal the interiors of ships and buildings brings to life the history, growth, and changing fortunes of a port from Neolithic settlement to a sophisticated, large-scale container port of today.

In this exhilarating new book, Brian Greene explores our most current understanding of the universe, its deepest laws of nature, and our continuing quest to know more. "The Hidden Reality" reveals how major developments in different branches of fundamental theoretical physics - relativistic, quantum, cosmological, unified, computational - have all led us to consider one or anot...(展开全部)

The bestselling author of The Elegant Universe and The Fabric of the Cosmos tackles perhaps the most mind-bending question in modern physics and cosmology: Is our universe the only universe? There was a time when "universe" meant all there is. Everything. Yet, a number of theories are converging on the possibility that our universe may be but one among many parallel univer...(展开全部)

Greene takes the reader to the leading edge of thinking in some of the most exciting areas of theoretical physics. And, importantly, he does not try to blind the reader with whiz-bang declarations or to mislead by giving only one perspective on topics that are highly controversial. Greene explains, in plain English, why scientists are considering some pretty far-out sounding po...(展开全部)
