Van lightsaber tot tijdmachine bespreekt de boeiendste technologieën en concepten uit de wereld van sciencefiction aan de hand van de meest recente inzichten uit de wetenschap. Steeds weer stelt het boek daarbij de vraag: hoe dicht zijn we nu eigenlijk bij de realisatie ervan?

Dit is een boek voor iedereen die zich bij het lezen of zien van sciencefiction wel eens betrapt op de gedachte: ‘Wow, wat gaaf – dát zou ik nou echt graag willen hebben!’

Op dit moment maken we een revolutie in de biologie mee: onze kennis over waarom we ouder worden en sterven, en waarom sommige soorten langer leven dan andere, maakt enorme sprongen. Onsterfelijkheid, sinds mensenheugenis een vage hoop, is nog nooit zo dichtbij geweest.

Nobelprijswinnaar en moleculair bioloog Venki Ramakrishnan schreef een gezaghebbende beschouwing over de vraag waarom we sterven, en over de mogelijkheden om aan de dood te ontsnappen. Hij behandelt de recente doorbraken in we...

This dissertation argues that the floods following extreme precipitation result not
only from very heavy rainfall but also from the significant impact of human activities on natural water systems. While most literature emphasises that the increasing magnitude of storm rainfall extends beyond the original protection standards of hydrologic facilities in highly populated delta cities. Based on the knowledge of urban morphology, this study analyses how human systems have affected the transform...

Peter Atkins, een autoriteit op het gebied van de scheikunde, neemt je met prachtig geschreven zinnen mee langs de fundamenten en toepassingen van de scheikunde. Hij doet dat op zo'n beeldende en aansprekende wijze dat je moeiteloos vertrouwd raakt met het vakgebied. Een genot om te lezen, voor zowel niet-scheikundigen als scheikundigen.

Ross's classic bestseller, Introduction to Probability Models, has been used extensively by professionals and as the primary text for a first undergraduate course in applied probability. It provides an introduction to elementary probability theory and stochastic processes, and shows how probability theory can be applied to the study of phenomena in fields such as engineering, computer science, management science, the physical and social sciences, and operations research. With the addition of ...

Essentials of Computational Chemistry, Second Edition provides a balanced introduction to this dynamic subject. Suitable for both experimentalists and theorists, a wide range of examples and applications are included drawn from all key areas.

Chemical principles are fundamental to the Earth sciences, and geoscience students increasingly require a firm grasp of basic chemistry to succeed in their studies. The enlarged third edition of this highly regarded textbook introduces the student to such ‘geo-relevant’ chemistry, presented in the same lucid and accessible style as earlier editions, but the new edition has been strengthened in its coverage of environmental geoscience and incorporates a new chapter introducing isotope geoc...
