Questioning the Universe Concepts in Physics

Questioning the Universe Concepts in Physics

WINNER 2009 CHOICE AWARD OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE! The typical introduction to physics leaves readers with the impression that physics is about 30 different unconnected topics such as motion forces gravity electricity light heat energy and atoms. More often than not these readers are left to conclude that physics is mostly about boring lifeless numbers. Questioning the Universe: Concepts in Physics offers the nonscientist an alternative view: one that demonstrates how physics is perpetually evolving and shows how so many seemingly diverse concepts are intimately connected. In fact one could argue that the most important ideas in modern physics are all about unification and that these ideas are as fascinating as they are elegant. Physicists today believe that Mother Nature is remarkably efficient and requires only a relatively small number of laws to keep her universe in working order. We may not yet know all of these laws; but at the center of physics is a faith that she is indeed understandableand that someday we will see her full beauty. The purpose of this book is to tell readers the story of what we have learned about nature so far and how we have done it. Written to arouse curiosity this compelling and readable work: Delves into the most basic laws regarding motion and energy waves and particles Introduces modern theories including relativity quantum mechanics and particle physics Describes the key role played by that elemental building block the atom Discusses the evolution of the universe including the formation of stars and the mystery of dark matter and dark energy This book is not for those doing physics but is aimed at those who simply want to learn about physics so it requires only the most minimal math.

Argentina’s Right-Wing Universe During the Democratic Period (1983–2023) Processes Actors and Issues

Argentina’s Right-Wing Universe During the Democratic Period (1983–2023) Processes Actors and Issues

Argentina’s Right-Wing Universe During the Democratic Period provides a comprehensive analysis of the course of right-wing politics in the country in the last 40 years. In 1983 after the fall of a violent military regime Argentina began the longest period of democratic stability in its history—40 years marked by economic institutional social and political crises. This book examines the trajectory of the different right-wing organisations and ideological developments during these years seeking to understand both the distinctions and the continuities that lie beneath its metamorphoses. Argentina has always acted as a laboratory in which to appreciate how the major problems and questions that concern those who have studied the right-wing in recent decades are translated into a particular political culture. In an international scenario marked by the social and political growth of different right-wing movements some of which pose a threat to liberal democracies the study of the Argentine case can provide greater clarity and a different perspective on problems that transcend this specific national case. This book will be of interest to scholars of Argentinian and Latin American politics and history as well as specialists on the comparative politics of the radical right. | Argentina’s Right-Wing Universe During the Democratic Period (1983–2023) Processes Actors and Issues

US Counterterrorism and the Human Rights of Foreigners Abroad Putting the Gloves Back On?

US Counterterrorism and the Human Rights of Foreigners Abroad Putting the Gloves Back On?

This book examines why the United States has introduced safeguards that are designed to prevent their counterterrorism policies from causing harm to non-US citizens beyond US territory. It investigates what made US policymakers take steps to put the gloves back on through five case studies on the emergence of such safeguards related to the right not to be tortured the right not to be arbitrarily detained the right to life (in connection with targeted killing operations) the right to seek asylum (in connection with refugee resettlement) and the right to privacy (in connection with foreign mass surveillance). The book exposes two mechanisms – coercion and strategic learning – which explain why the United States has introduced what the authors refer to as extraterritorial human rights safeguards thus demonstrating that the emerging norm that states have human rights obligations towards foreigners beyond their borders constrains policy choices. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of human rights counterterrorism US foreign policy human rights law and more broadly to political science and international relations.
