The Sun's Rotation
Author: J. Javaraiah
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Though the sun does not go around the Earth, still it does go around. Javaraiah and Gokhale (both Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore) team up with colleagues to summarize recent research findings on its rotation, the variations in the rotations, and physical processes in the Sun and its atmosphere that affect and are affected by the rotation. They consider the mean rotation and time dependence of the outer layers, and the rotation rate in the interior as determined by helioseismic studies.

Sun Slower, Sun Faster
Author: Meriol Trevor
Publisher: Bethlehem Books
ISBN: 9781883937416
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
This is an adventurous story with a difference--it is soon after World War II, but Cecil (short for Cecilia) and her cousin, Rickie, are thrown into a series of adventures that have little to do with the England that they know. Inexplicably, they, and sometimes their eccentric and interesting tutor, Dominic, find themselves in another time-usually right in the middle of a dramatic, if not harrowing, moment. Every dip into time takes them farther back and each time they experience another chapter of the Church's history and teachings. At once fun and frightening, these escapades into the past take on deeper and deeper significance. Each of these three Cecil, Rickie, Dominic are faced with things from their own pasts which touch deeply upon who they are in the present and who they will choose to be in the uncertain but tantalizing future. They have much to sort out, as history-especially the history of the Christian Faith-comes unexpectedly alive.
