Spitfire Pilot
Fighter pilot Lou Spence's story is one of bravery, leadership and love. Author John Spence draws on his father's wartime diaries, which he addressed to his young wife back in Perth. During World War 2, Lou Spence few in the Middle East against Rommel's forces, then defended Australia, flying spitfires against the Japanese. A courageous pilot, he went on to lead the RAAF 77 Squadron of Mustangs in the Korean War. A replica of Lou Spence's Spitfire is in the Darwin Aviation Museum.
Lightspeed
This is the human story and adventures of the great scientists who measured the speed of light -- which takes eight minutes to get here from the sun, so that when we look at the stars we are looking back in time. The book narrates how, since the ancient Greeks, scientists from Faraday, Maxwell, Fizeau and Michelson struggled to understand how light can travel through the vacuum of outer space, unless it is filled with a ghostly invisible vortex Aether foam. Thereader moves from Galileo's observations of the eclipses of Jupiter's moon for navigation, to Einstein's theories and his equation E = mc2, and all the quantum weirdness which followed. Space probes,the Transit of Venus expeditions, the discovery of radio, optics and satellite navigation, and the amazing scientific instruments built to detect the Aether wind are described.
Springer Handbook of Microscopy
This book features reviews by leading experts on the methods and applications of modern forms of microscopy. The recent awards of Nobel Prizes awarded for super-resolution optical microscopy and cryo-electron microscopy have demonstrated the rich scientific opportunities for research in novel microscopies. Earlier Nobel Prizes for electron microscopy (the instrument itself and applications to biology), scanning probe microscopy and holography are a reminder of the central role of microscopy in modern science, from the study of nanostructures in materials science, physics and chemistry to structural biology. Separate chapters are devoted to confocal, fluorescent and related novel optical micr...
