The World of Warhammer

ISBN: 9781560251712
Category : Games
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
The Old Ones came to the Warhammer World by means of a mystical Gateway at the North Pole that allowed their silver ships to cross the endless sea of space. They used their arcane technology to erect fantastic cities & restructure the environment. They ushered in a new age of enlightenment & civilization & were as gods to the primitive races of the Warhammer World. Then came the Great Catastrophe: the Gateway collapsed & its failure unleashed a force that not even the Old Ones could control. The incredible energy that had sustained the portal fell in on itself, tearing the fabric of reality asunder. The North Pole became a thoroughfare into the world of Daemons & the peaceful, ordered world of the Old Ones was crushed beneath a seething tidal wave of Chaos. The World of Warhammer is an encyclopedic exploration of this world where the good prodigies of the Old Ones struggle against the Chaos forces. The lands, races, & cultures of the known world, their magic, warriors, fantastic beasts, & strange creatures, & their histories, greatest battles, & most famous heroes & villains are all chronicled here along side hundreds & hundreds of full-color & black-and-white illustrations.

Who Cares about Particle Physics?
Author: Pauline Gagnon
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198783248
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
CERN, the European Laboratory for particle physics, regularly makes the news. What kind of research happens at this international laboratory and how does it impact people's daily lives? Why is the discovery of the Higgs boson so important? Particle physics describes all matter found on Earth, in stars and all galaxies but it also tries to go beyond what is known to describe dark matter, a form of matter five times more prevalent than the known, regular matter. How do we know this mysterious dark matter exists and is there a chance it will be discovered soon? About sixty countries contributed to the construction of the gigantic Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN and its immense detectors. Dive in to discover how international teams of researchers work together to push scientific knowledge forward. Here is a book written for every person who wishes to learn a little more about particle physics, without requiring prior scientific knowledge. It starts from the basics to build a solid understanding of current research in particle physics. A good dose of curiosity is all one will need to discover a whole world that spans from the infinitesimally small and stretches to the infinitely large, and where imminent discoveries could mark the dawn of a huge revolution in the current conception of the material world.

Tesla: Inventor of the Modern
Author: Richard Munson
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393635457
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
"[A] penetrating biography…Munson makes vivid the genius’s eventful life." —Barbara Kiser, Nature Nikola Tesla invented radio, robots, and remote control. His electric induction motors run our appliances and factories. In the early 1900s, he designed plans for cell phones, the Internet, death-ray weapons, and interstellar communication. His ideas have lived on to shape the modern economy, yet he has been largely overlooked by history. In Tesla, Richard Munson presents a comprehensive portrait of this farsighted and underappreciated mastermind. Drawing on letters, technological notebooks, and other primary sources, Munson pieces together the magnificently bizarre personal life and mental habits of the enigmatic inventor whose most famous inventions were the product of a mind fueled by both the humanities and sciences—Tesla conceived the induction motor while walking through a park and reciting Goethe’s Faust. Clear, authoritative, and highly readable, Tesla takes into account all the phases of Tesla’s remarkable life and career.
