This book presents the basic fundamentals of descriptive archaeoastronomy and its application to the astronomical descriptions found in ancient Indian scriptures. Archaeoastronomy is a branch of positional astronomy that helps to determine the epochs of ancient astronomical alignments and special astronomical events. In this book, only the descriptions of special stellar alignments and events found in ancient texts can identify the antiquity of the descriptions. India

This book shows how our new-found ability to observe the Earth from “the necessary distance” has wide and profound cultural and ethical implications. First of all, it is the outcome of speculations and investigations of human beings in relation to their home planet carried out over millennia. In particular, it reveals a split between the ancient idea of the Earth as nurturing mother and the more recent conception of the Earth as a neutral resource able to be infinitely exploited by huma

Das vergangene Jahrhundert veränderte die klassische naturwissenschaftliche Sichtweise gewaltig. Die Quantentheorie, die Relativitätstheorie oder die Chaostheorie, um nur einige zu nennen, gaben völlig neuen, fast revolutionären Denkansätzen Raum. Es ist das Anliegen dieses Buches, all diese Theorien und ihre Folgerungen leicht verständlich und unterhaltsam darzustellen.

Wenn Sie schon immer die Grundprinzipien der Astronomie und der Himmelsbewegungen verstehen wollten, sollten Sie dieses Buch lesen. Anhand von Bildern des Himmels, die von verschiedenen Orten der Erde aus beobachtet wurden, sowie von Zeichnungen alter astronomischer Methoden und Werkzeuge erzählt Prof. Sun Kwok diese Geschichte auf unterhaltsame und faszinierende Weise.

Seit den Anfängen der menschlichen Zivilisation haben sich die Menschen Gedanken über die Struktur des Kosmos und unse

Adrià Delhom obtained his undergraduate and master degrees in Physics and Advanced Physics at the University of Valencia, with a semester abroad in Rutgers University (New Jersey) and three internships at IFISC (Mallorca), IFIC (Valencia), and Johannes Guttenberg University (Mainz). Later, he got the PhD at the University of Valencia, focusing on theoretical and observational aspects of metric-affine gravity. Subsequently, he held a postdoc position as a Research Fellow at the Laborato
