斯蒂芬·韦伯（Stephen Webb），布里斯托大学物理学学士，曼彻斯特大学理论物理博士，毕业后在英国各大学从事教学工作。他长期从事天文年鉴的编纂工作，还编写过天体测量学方面的数本研究生教材以及数本科普畅销书，如《世界之外》（Out of this World）等。

FROM THE REVIEWS: ¿Webb offers coherent, understandable, and sometimes humorous coverage of a diverse range of topics. He provides readers with non-trivial insights into research fields they may not have encountered previously . . . I think everyone who has ever considered the possibility that other intelligent civilizations exist elsewhere within our galaxy will enjoy Wh...(展开全部)

Given the fact that there are perhaps 400 billion stars in our Galaxy alone, and perhaps 400 billion galaxies in the Universe, it stands to reason that somewhere out there, in the 14-billion-year-old cosmos, there is or once was a civilization at least as advanced as our own. The sheer enormity of the numbers almost demands that we accept the truth of this hypothesis. Why, then...(展开全部)

In this extraordinarily accessible and enormously witty book, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman guides us on a fascinating tour of the history of particle physics. The book takes us from the Greeks' earliest scientific observations through Einstein and beyond in an inspiring celebration of human curiosity. It ends with the quest for the Higgs boson, nicknamed the ...(展开全部)

Europe's image of Japanese culture remains dominated by cliches such as the cherry blossom, temples, samurai, geisha and Zen. Fascinated and irritated by these cliches, photographer Andri Pol attempts to overturn them, both by confronting them and by looking elsewhere, setting his lens upon the everyday sights of Japanese life.
