Acerca de este producto
Product Information
Sizing Up the Universe reveals an ingenious new way to envision the outsize proportions of space, based on the work of Princeton University professors Richard Gott and Robert Vanderbei. Using scaled maps, object comparisons, and beautiful space photographs, it demonstrates the actual size of objects in the cosmos --from Buzz Aldrin's historic footprint to the visible universe and beyond. The authors offer visual comparisons with astonishing precision and maximum reader-friendliness, conveying clear and understandable explanations of unimaginable vastness. Plus, as an unprecedented bonus, their 1.5-million-selling Map of the Universe is published here for the first time ever in a book--presented on an oversize foldout page that maximizes its eye-popping presentation of satellites, planets, stars, and galaxies. Based on the popularity of the map and of Richard Gott's Time Travel in Einstein's Universe, and offering innovative ways to appreciate the majesty of the universe, this new title should soar.

"It may strike readers...that the authors must have conjured up some sort of Einsteinian space warp to get so much information, in such a variety of vivid, gorgeous and conceptually brilliant forms, into a single book." -- Michael D. Lemonick, TIME.com , "A feast for the eyes and a banquet for the mind." Neil de Grasse Tyson, best-selling author and NovaScienceNow host "The genius of Sizing Up the Universe comes directly from the co-authors' fertile brains. ... It may strike readers, meanwhile, that the authors must have conjured up some sort of Einsteinian space warp to get so much information, in such a variety of vivid, gorgeous and conceptually brilliant forms, into a single book. You can pretty much open it to any page and have an "aha!" moment that will embed itself in your brain. And over time, without even noticing, you may even begin to grasp the true immensity of the universe." ~Michael D. Lemonick, TIME.com "It may strike readers...that the authors must have conjured up some sort of Einsteinian space warp to get so much information, in such a variety of vivid, gorgeous and conceptually brilliant forms, into a single book." --Time "You can pretty much open it to any page and have an "aha!" moment that will embed itself in your brain." -- Time "The latest attempt to put the cosmos in perspective, and it may be the most effective yet - even though it takes the retro form of a physical book...it also conveys the relative sizes and distances of cosmic objects in so many different and ingenious ways that it becomes a little dizzying - in the best possible sense." Time "This is a wonderful book - one I had been waiting for ever since I was eight years old, and one that would make a memorable gift for imaginations young and old." New Scientist "magnified stunning views." Book News "It's impossible to fathom the scale of the universe, but Princeton professors Robert Vanderbei and J. Richard Gott sure as heck try."

The condition is in near perfect and the shipping was not only well packed, but quickly processed. Highly recommend this eBay seller!
