Sommario/riassunto |
|
Pulsars are rapidly spinning neutron stars, the collapsed cores of once massive stars that ended their lives as supernova explosions. In this book, Geoff McNamara explores the history, subsequent discovery and contemporary research into pulsar astronomy. The story of pulsars is brought right up to date with the announcement in 2006 of a new breed of pulsar, Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs), which emit short bursts of radio signals separated by long pauses. These may outnumber conventional radio pulsars by a ratio of four to one. Geoff McNamara ends by pointing out that, despite the enormous success of pulsar research in the second half of the twentieth century, the real discoveries are yet to be made including, perhaps, the detection of the hypothetical pulsar black hole binary system by the proposed Square Kilometre Array - the largest single radio telescope in the world. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Every person who suffers from binge-eating disorder is unique--and what may help one person overcome compulsive eating may not work for another. That's why The Binge Eating Prevention Workbook offers a wide range of evidence-based tools to help readers of all ages and backgrounds take control of their eating habits. Using the eight-week protocol in this book, readers will learn how to recognize their triggers, cope with difficult emotions, improve relationships, and stay healthy. |
