The Nile on eBay   FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE   Three Hundred Years of Gravitation by Stephen Hawking This book contains some of the papers of the world&#039;s foremost researchers in cosmology, relativity and particle physics. Here in one volume, the reader can find out about the significant and exciting advances made in the physical sciences today. Contributors include Hawking, Israel, Penrose, Witten, Schwarz and others. FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description To commemorate the 300th anniversary of the publication of Isaac Newton&#039;s Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, Stephen Hawking and Werner Israel assembled a series of unique review papers by many of the world&#039;s foremost researchers in cosmology, relativity, and particle physics. The resulting volume reflects the significant and exciting advances that have been made in these fields since the editors&#039; acclaimed volume, General Relativity: An Einstein Centenary Survey (CUP 1979). Newton&#039;s immense contribution to the physical sciences is assessed, and its relevance to today&#039;s physics made clear. The international group of contributors then chart the major developments in the study of gravitation, from Newtonian gravity to black hole physics. In the fields of galaxy formation, inflationary and quantum cosmology, and superstring unification, the book provides important overviews written by workers involved in the many advances described. By shaping such a wide-ranging and scholarly series of articles into a cohesive whole, the editors have created a fitting and lasting memorial to the man who continues to inspire scientists the world over. Author Biography Professor Stephen Hawking, a Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, is the pre-eminent theoretical physicist in the world. His book "A Brief History of Time" was a phenomenal worldwide bestseller. He has twelve honorary degrees and was awarded the CBE and was made a Companion of Honour. He has three children and one grandchild. Visit him at Table of Contents Preface; 1. Newton's Principia S. W. Hawking; 2. Newtonianism and today's physics S. Weinberg; 3.
