Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Dr. Laura Mersini-Houghton (née Laura Mersini) is a theoretical physicist-cosmologist and professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill since January 2004. In 2009 she is on a sabbatical at DAMTP, University of Cambridge. Laura Mersini-Houghton received her undergraduate degree from the University of Tirana, Albania, her M.Sc. from the University of Maryland and was awarded a PhD in 2000 by the University of WisconsinMilwaukee. She has worked on a variety of topics on the particle physics-cosmology interface. She was particularly interested in the possibility of generating dark energy from transplanckian physics in string theory, gravity and quantum field theory in curved space, and higher-dimension braneworlds. One of her major contributions is her theory that explains the selection of the Initial Conditions of our Universe from the multiverse , (see also . This theory explains that the only way the universe can survive the Big Bang is if it bangs at high energies. As such, high energy initial states for the universe are more probable than their low energy initial patches, since the latter are terminal. This theory addresses one of the big mysteries of nature, the birth of the low entropy universe in compliance with the arrow of time. It also offers observational signatures of all the surviving universes that comprise the multiverse. She says that when it comes to what we know about the universe, current physics theory is lagging a little behind. For example, the Big Bang theory might not be enough to explain the origin of all the matter in the universe (everything from t...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4427370 ... Read more

Extrait : Elmer Holmes Bobst, né en 1884 à Clear Spring dans le Maryland et décédé en 1978, était un pharmacologue américain, philanthrope écrivain et collectionneur. De 1920 à 1944, il dirigea Hoffman-La Roche Chemical Works. Il était proche du président Eisenhower et un ami du président Nixon. En 1968, Bobst devint conseiller de la Maison Blanche pour les questions de santé publique. Il fut un philanthrope, particulièrement dans le domaine de la recherche contre le cancer et l'éducation, et c'est grâce à son don de six millions de dollars que fut créé la bibliothèque de l'Université de New York (Elmer Holmes Bobst Library), en 1973. Bobst est le troisième des cinq enfants d'Isaac et Alice (Holmes) Bobst. Il souhaite devenir médecin, mais ne pourra faire qu'une seule année d'étude au Franklin and Marshall College (grâce à une bourse de base-ball) avant que les problèmes financiers de sa famille ne le contraignent à chercher du travail. Il trouve un emploi dans un drug store à Philadelphie. Durant son peu de temps libre, il apprend par lui-même la pharmacologie, réussissant ses examens de pharmacien-assistant puis de pharmacien en 1905. Il passe ensuite l'examen préliminaire de droit en 1907. Mais ses responsabilités familiales ne lui permettent pas de poursuivre ses études. Bobst est engagé comme vendeur par le bureau New Yorkais de la société suisse Hoffmann-La Roche en 1911. Il devient directeur et trésorier de Hoffman-La Roche Chemical Works en 1920. En 1928, il déplace les act...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
