Galactic Dynamics (Princeton Series in Astrophysics)
ASIN: 0691084602 |
Book Description
One of the world's most distinguished astrophysicists presents a comprehensive theoretical treatment of the dynamical evolution of globular clusters. These clusters, of which there are typically 100 per galaxy, each containing some 100,00 stars, evolve slowly and their cores gradually collapse as a result of gravitational encounters between pairs of stars. Lyman Spitzer's research in this field established the framework for decades of investigation. Now he summarizes in a unified, systematic way this branch of theoretical astrophysics with its still challenging problems.
An introductory chapter summarizes observations on the globular clusters of our Galaxy. Then follows a full description of the theoretical analysis developed during the last twenty years. The final two of the seven chapters discuss how the collapse of a cluster core terminates as a result of double star formation, with neutron stars and black holes possibly involved. In addition, the postcollapse phase, currently a rapidly developing field of research, is briefly described.
Lyman Spitzer, Jr., who was awarded the Crafoord Prize in 1985 by the Royal Swedish Academy of Science, is Senior Research Astronomer at Princeton University. His books include Physics of Fully Ionized Gases (Wiley), Physical Processes in the Interstellar Medium (Wiley), and Searching between the Stars (Yale).
Book Description
The distribution of elements in the cosmos, a result of the many processes in the Universe's history, provides a means for studying the Big Bang, the density of baryonic matter, nucleosynthesis, and the formation and evolution of stars and galaxies. This textbook, by a pioneer in the field, forms a lucid, comprehensive introduction to the interdisciplinary subject of galactic chemical evolution. The author carefully explains a broad spectrum of exciting astrophysics, from thermonuclear reactions, abundance measurements in astronomical sources, cosmological element production, stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis, to light element production by cosmic rays and the effects of galactic processes on the evolution of the elements. The reader is then equipped to develop an intuitive and analytical understanding of results from numerical models and real observations. Simple, elegant derivations for key results are provided throughout, together with problems and helpful solution hints. This long-awaited textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the broad subject of galactic chemical evolution for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and an invaluable overview for researchers.

Book Description
In the last decade extra-galactic planetary nebulae (PNe) have gained increasing importance. Improved observational capabilities have allowed fainter and fainter PNe to be studied in galaxies well beyond the Milky Way. Planetary nebulae can be detected to at least 30Mpc. They are found in galaxies of all types and also between the galaxies in nearby galaxy clusters. They are valuable as probes, both for providing the velocity of their host stars and also the evolutionary status and relation to the stellar population from which they formed.
This book contains the proceedings of a workshop held at ESO headquarters in Garching in 2004, the first meeting devoted entirely to Extra-galactic Planetary Nebulae. A wide range of topics is covered, from stellar and nebular astrophysics to galactic dynamics and galaxy clusters, making this volume a unique and timely reference of broad astrophysical interest.

Book Description
Two of the pioneers of the modern version of panspermia - the theory that comets disperse microbial life throughout the cosmos - trace the development of their ideas through a sequence of key papers. A logical progression of thought is shown to lead up to the currently accepted viewpoint that at least the biochemical building blocks of life must have derived from comets. The authors go further, however, to argue that not just the chemicals of life, but fully-fledged microbial cells have an origin that is external to the Earth. Such a theory of cosmic life, once established, would have profound scientific as well as sociological implications. The publication of this book is all the more timely now that we are on the threshold of verifying many of these ideas by direct space exploration of planets and comets.

Off the wall.......2004-11-27
I think the idea behind this book is way off base. Let's examine Hoyle's basic argument, which is behind the papers in this book.
In one of the papers ("Deductions from the Weak Anthropic Principle"), Hoyle claims that the information content of a simple cell or, worse, of a complex organism, is so huge that it would be basically impossible for life to originate in a Big-Bang cosmology. That would force us to return to one of Hoyle's favorite ideas, basically a steady-state universe.
Let's not completely dismiss the idea of Hoyle's steady-state universe. In spite of the convincing evidence for a Big Bang, there is the worry that we're being a little provincial by saying that all of Reality may be less than 15 billion years old. There is the question: what else is there? What was there "before" Reality? And note that a universe that had an infinite number of consecutive "Big Bangs" might be "steady-state" in effect. But I am still extremely unimpressed by Hoyle's argument.
For one thing, I can't abide the argument that life has virtually no chance (1 in 10 to the tens of thousands or more) of arising in our Universe, a Universe which if anything seems ideal for the development of life. The Universe is here. We're here. Why not believe that it is possible? I for one would bet that it is. And if that does not agree with Hoyle's theory, I'm perfectly prepared to believe that his theory is wrong.
For another, I think Hoyle is completely wrong to say that the transition from non-living to living matter can't really proceed by a relatively small set of surprisingly likely steps. Hoyle calls this a semantic argument, "which seeks to replace the probability for the whole chain by the sum of the individual probabilities of the many steps, instead of by the product." That statement by Hoyle is very insulting and totally incorrect. In addition, Hoyle's conclusion is absurd.
Finally, let's get to the meat of much of the book, namely discussions of life in space. Perhaps the motivation for this was something like the following argument: Life could not have originated on Earth. Therefore it must have originated on a planet just like Earth and moved here from there.
I know I have stated this argument sarcastically. But that does not mean that Hoyle can't be right about life on Earth coming from Mars or elsewhere. I'd bet against it. But it is possible. For Hoyle's idea to have a chance, we'd want evidence that some logical steps in the origin of life simply did not happen on Earth, or had insufficient time to occur. Then, find some evidence that there was indeed a more hospitable environment elsewhere, plus time for life to develop there, plus a good mechanism to get that life here, and we'd have a very legitimate scientific discussion on our hands.
That is what leads to many of the papers in this book, which try to assess what organic polymers there are in space. This fits in with questions about whether life can survive the space environment: no gravity, no atmosphere, cosmic rays and other radiation, little if any water, and extreme cold. Plus the problems of getting into space and surviving a landing on Earth. And especially the issue of whether life is out there right now.
Hoyle and his co-authors discuss the nature of interstellar grains. They find that there may be an enormous amount of bacteria out there, but this conclusion has not been supported by many others in the academic community. I feel that the strength of the evidence for such claims is indeed exaggerated in this book.
I found this book to be unsatisfying. I was hoping to learn some astrobiology from it, and wound up not being able to trust many of its conclusions.
On the right track.......2000-07-12
Hoyle is on the right track when he calculates the odds of the DNA needed for a simple cell forming by chance. I go similar numbers for a cell with about 250 genes (a theoretical cell that can reproduce and use food). He calculated the odds to be 1 out of 10 to the 40,000th power! He correctly realized that there was not enough time or material on earth to make it mathematically possible to get even a simple cell by chance - even if you were given whole DNA molecules (thermodynamics rules out large molecules before cells - see TIME'S ARROW by Blum). However to suggest that such cells formed elsewhere in the universe only increases the chances slightly. If you calculated the maximum number of events in the entire univers over the past 20 billion years they would not exceed 10 to the 120th power. (Take the number of atomic vibrations per second - 10 to the 11th max - for every atom in the universe - 10 to the 80th - and multiply that times the number of seconds in 20 billion years and you get about 10 to the 108th events). To make the human (or most any other creature's) genome by random chance mutations is mathematically impossible. To get all my A,T,C,and G's of my DNA code in the order they are in by chance is less than one out of 10 to the billionth power (assuming the Human genome to be about 3.12 billion base pairs, teh odds for each base is 1/4, 1/4 times itself 3 billion times is less than 1 out of 10 to the billionth power). Even if 99% is nonsense it would still be 1 out of 10 to the 10 millionth power - or impossible anywhere in a universe with only 10 to the 108th events. Impossible unless there is intelligence acting. Chance is not intelligent, Natural laws are not intelligent - they cannot produce complex specific information (such as language and DNA see INTELLIGENT DESIGN by Dembski. Natural selection is a law that selects good information by selecting functional traits in reproducing organisms. Natural selection does not PRODUCE the information. Natural Selection explains the survival of the fittest, NOT THE ARRIVAL of the fittest! The information gap between life and non life and between every major goup of creatures on earth is immense and impossible to cross without intelligence. Maybe this intelligence is the same one that caused the Universe for you can't get something from nothing and the cause must equal or exceed the effect, therefore the cause of hte universe must be outside and probably greater than the universe. From the amazing complexity of the laws of nature and the fact that the cause had to choose to make the universe - it is logical to conclude that the cause of the universe is intelligent.Darwin may have hit the nail on the head on the last page of his book ORIGIN OF SPECIES when he attributed the first cells to the Creator's direct act. The calculations Hoyle and Wickramasinghe did are evidence that there may have been much more involvement by the Creator than Darwin thought.

Book Description
The observational and interpretive tools for the study of chemical evolution are starting to be mature enough that they can be applied with some confidence to extra-galactic systems and integrated populations at increasingly high redshift. This book is devoted to the study of the interplay between different methods of measuring chemical abundances with astrophysical models. Studies of chemical abundances and evolution from stars, inter-stellar medium and local group galaxies at zero redshift to distant galaxies, clusters of galaxies and inter-galactic medium at high redshift are presented. There are also synopses on progress in instrumentation for abundance determination.

Book Description
This volume reviews recent progress in the study of dynamics of star clusters. The meeting focused on the enormous progress of both the observation and the theoretical modeling of star clusters. New results from the refurbished Hubble Space Telescope (HST) include the mass function down to the hydrogen burning limits, white dwarf sequence, and central density profiles of `post-collapse' clusters by star counts. On the theoretical side, this symposium saw the first direct evidence of gravothermal oscillation through
N-body simulation, which was made possible by GRAPE-4, the dedicated special-purpose computer for
N-body simulation. Numerical techniques to combine stellar evolution and dynamical evolution of the cluster were presented.
The book will be of primary interest to astrophysicists.

Some Days There's Pie is a determinedly folksy title for a determinedly folksy novel. Catherine Landis's debut tells the story of two iconoclastic Southern women who find each other at exactly the right moment. Narrator Ruth, fleeing a constraining marriage, is just starting out in life; Rose, an elderly muckraker, is just coming to the end. Their friendship provides the scaffolding for this quirky, emotional novel. The two characters are gritty and funny, but they can also be annoyingly aware of their own uniqueness. Ruth's sister wants her to "have a lot of boyfriends and join the pep club and wear makeup instead of hanging out in the woods, looking at the stars, which was the kind of thing I liked to do." Such clichéd iconoclasm would be heavy-handed even in a young adult novel. On the other hand, almost every page yields the kind of offhandedly sprightly language--"It was August and no-kidding hot"--that marks the best and freshest Southern writing. These small pleasures amass and make this first-time novelist a writer to watch. --Claire Dederer
Book Description
Ruth thinks she has found her ticket out of Tennessee by eloping with a stereo salesman, but soon he 'gets religion,' and Ruth leaves. When she faints in a North Carolina five-and-dime, Rose, a feisty elderly reporter, rescues her, beginning a friendship stronger than family ties. With spirited humor and empathy, Landis intertwines the stories of Rose, who is in denial of her terminal illness, and Ruth, who possesses the energy of Rose in her younger days. 'Whether you're home or abroad, the warmth and charm of these women's lives will transform your beach grass into kudzu and expand that horizon stretching out in front of you.' -Newsday (Summer's Best Reads)

Everyone is worth a story........2005-11-02
Isn't that the truth. This book is overall a very good book. I loved the small town life and people fighting for what they believe in. I however had trouble with the views of no God and the relationships seemed shallow. It seems Ruth just drifts from place to place, not really giving anyone a chance to know her. She invents herself completely different from who she really is. That isn't getting to know people really.
I have trouble with no real love just people shacking up with this person and that person. Maybe I am just not the person to read a book that rambles or has more literal meanings. Maybe they went way over my head. Whatever way, I would still read more by this author, I think!
worth 4.5 stars ~ a work of literature.......2003-01-10
Ruth married young and finds out that her beloved is more attached to God and his "out there" church than her so she leaves him and hits the road. Not before he gives her $300 and buys her a car. She leaves her pathetic family too and heads on her way for a new life, not sure where she'll end up. In another small, Southern town she meets Rose, an older woman dying of lung cancer and through her, does Ruth blossom.
This is a work of literature at its best. Thoroughly entertaining. Very funny in parts and sad mostly but you will find it a true craft of storytelling at its best.
A Small town book.......2002-11-14
This book is about a young, small-town girl, Ruth, in the 70's who "got-out-of town" by marrying the first guy who offered to take her away. When that marriage ended soon after, she travels to a new town and finds an older woman, Rose who gives her what she is looking for in a mother-figure. The book takes place over a year, but fails to develop any plot line other that the friendship/mother-figure relationship between the two women.
Overall an easy and quick read. You might identify with it if you are from a small town.
