      Quantum theory is so shocking that Einstein could not bring himself to accept it. It is so important that it provides the fundamental underpinning of all modern sciences. Without it, we'd have no computers, no science of molecular biology, no understanding of DNA, no genetic engineering. In Search of Schrodinger's Cat tells the complete story of quantum mechanics, a truth stranger than any fiction. John Gribbin takes us step by step into an even more bizarre and fascinating place, requiring only that we approach it with an open mind. He introduces the scientists who developed quantum theory. He investigates the atom, radiation, time travel, the birth of the universe, super conductors and life itself. And in a world full of its own delights, mysteries and surprises, he searches for Schrodinger's Cat - a search for quantum reality - as he brings every reader to a clear understanding of the most important area of scientific study today - quantum physics. In Search of Schrodinger's Cat is a fascinating and delightful introduction to the strange world of the quantum - an essential element in understanding today's world.

      In his landmark international bestsellers Guns, Germs and Steel and Collapse, Jared Diamond transformed our understanding of what makes civilizations rise and fall. Now in the third book in this monumental trilogy, he reveals how successful nations recover from crisis. Diamond shows us how seven countries have survived defining upheavals in the recent past - from the forced opening up of Japan and the Soviet invasion of Finland to the Pinochet regime in Chile - through selective change, a process of painful self-appraisal and adaptation more commonly associated with personal trauma. Looking ahead to the future, he investigates whether the United States, and the world, are squandering their natural advantages and are on a devastating path towards catastrophe. Is this fate inevitable? Or can we still learn from the lessons of the past? Exhibiting the awe-inspiring grasp of history, geography, economics and anthropology that marks all Diamond's work, Upheaval reveals how both nations and individuals can become more resilient. The result is a book epic in scope, but also his most personal yet.

      Napínavý příběh vesmíru od samého počátku až do dnešních dnů. Co se událo na počátku času? Opravdu nastal nějaký "velký třesk"? To jsou jen některé z otázek, které si lidstvo klade ohledně svých počátků a na něž se snaží odpovídat. Vědci se o zrození vesmíru zajímají dlouho a s pokrokem techniky roste i možnost lidského poznání. S moderními dalekohledy, které mohou pozorovat galaxie vzdálené miliardy let, se dostáváme blíže k odpovědím. Jak to všechno začalo a jak pokračuje? Géniové vědy dospěli k fascinujícímu závěru: Planety a galaxie se stále vzdalují od místa exploze, což ukazuje, že vesmír se nepřestává rozpínat. Teorie, které se zdají složité a nepochopitelné, mohou být s pomocí odborníků jako Albert Einstein či Stephen Hawking jasné a přehledné. S průvodcem, jakým je John Gribbin, se svět kosmologie a kvantové fyziky stane srozumitelným a překvapivě napínavým, často i víc než nejlepší detektivka.

      Gribbin presents the recent dramatic improvements in experimental techniques that have enabled physicists to formulate and test new theories about the nature of light. He describes these theories not in terms of hard-to-imagine entities like spinning subnuclear particles, but in terms of the fate of two small cats separated at a tender age and carried to opposite sides of the universe.

      In questa carrellata sulla storia del genere umano, Diamond ci mette in guardia da pericolosi pavoneggiamenti "occidentali": se si può parlare di una nostra superiorità culturale, essa deve consistere solo nella coscienza che la natura non determina alcuna superiorità. Attraverso un agile percorso narrativo, il saggista americano arriva a dimostrare che le diversità culturali affondano le loro radici in diversità geografiche, ecologiche e territoriali sostanzialmente legate al caso.
