Synopsis Light, Dark, and the Electromagnetic Spectrum by : Scott Benjamin Gracie
Since the dawn of time, electromagnetic energy has permeated through the universe, surrounding and interacting with everything it touches, illuminating, destroying and giving life. The colourful section of the electromagnetic spectrum we see in the form of visible light, rainbows and other phenomena is tiny when compared to its vast entirety. Using many parts of the electromagnetic spectrum have become common everyday occurrence for the majority of people on Earth, as it's been integrated into our lives in ways that we don't even think twice about it. This book illuminates many parts of the electromagnetic spectrum and its effects, the endless ways we have harnessed its energy, and how we interact and live with its influence. (less)

Synopsis Light by : Megan Watzke
A visual exploration of the power and behavior of light, across the electromagnetic spectrum, and how it affects life on earth and everything in the Universe. Light allows us to see everything around us, but humans can only see a sliver of all light, known as the electromagnetic spectrum. Here, Kim Arcand and Megan Watzke present the subject of light as never before. Organized along the order of the electromagnetic spectrum, each chapter focuses on a different type of light. From radio waves, harnessed for telecommunications, to X-rays, which let us peer inside the human body and view areas around black holes in deep space, Arcand and Watzke show us all the important ways light impacts us. An introductory chapter describes what light is and how it behaves, while hundreds of full-color photographs and illustrations demonstrate concepts and make for a stunning book that's a joy to read and browse.

Synopsis Waves by : Mike Goldsmith
From sound waves to gravitational waves, and from waves of light to crashing rollers on the ocean, Mike Goldsmith explores the fundamental features shared by all waves in the natural world, and considers the range of phenomena resulting from wave motion, including reflection, diffraction, and polarization in light, and beats and echoes in sound.

Synopsis Aether-Light by : Randy Holmes
Only one man knows in the entire world. 1. Where did we come from? 2. What is gravity? 3. What is matter? 4. What is dark matter? 5. What is dark energy? 6. What is aether? 7. What is light? After reading his book and finding out the true secrets of the universe, many are forced to wonder if this is, indeed, the greatest discovery of our time. It is a fact that sound waves (mechanical waves) require a material or medium for its propagation such as gas, solids, and liquids. The theory is that all waves need a medium to propagate through empty space, as does electromagnetic waves. As far back as 1678, scientists like Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell, Nikola Tesla, and the scientific community all believed that light needed a medium to propagate through empty space. Since Einsteins special relativity theory in 1905, the modern scientific community recognizes the vacuum for the propagation of light through empty space, and not aether. Randy Lee Holmes has discovered visual proof and illustrations by more than two hundred photos and forty-six videos of the aether of nature and the universe. All photos and videos show the electromagnetic radiation blueprint of the aether that serves as a medium for all light and electromagnetic waves in nature, the universe, and beyond. The book is guaranteed to answer the seven questions that everyone wants to know. You will not only understand what you read, but you will see the world and the universe come together as one big puzzle. After reading the historical and nonfiction book Aether-Light, you will learn that all living and nonliving things are connected and made of light. Yes, people are made of light. In the beginning, God said, Let there be light.

Synopsis Astronomy by : Andrew Fraknoi
Astronomy is written in clear non-technical language, with the occasional touch of humor and a wide range of clarifying illustrations. It has many analogies drawn from everyday life to help non-science majors appreciate, on their own terms, what our modern exploration of the universe is revealing. The book can be used for either aone-semester or two-semester introductory course (bear in mind, you can customize your version and include only those chapters or sections you will be teaching.) It is made available free of charge in electronic form (and low cost in printed form) to students around the world. If you have ever thrown up your hands in despair over the spiraling cost of astronomy textbooks, you owe your students a good look at this one. Coverage and Scope Astronomy was written, updated, and reviewed by a broad range of astronomers and astronomy educators in a strong community effort. It is designed to meet scope and sequence requirements of introductory astronomy courses nationwide.

Synopsis First Light by : Emma Chapman
Astronomers have successfully observed a great deal of the Universe's history, from recording the afterglow of the Big Bang to imaging thousands of galaxies, and even to visualising an actual black hole. There's a lot for astronomers to be smug about. But when it comes to understanding how the Universe began and grew up we are literally in the dark ages. In effect, we are missing the first one billion years from the timeline of the Universe. This brief but far-reaching period in the Universe's history, known to astrophysicists as the 'Epoch of Reionisation', represents the start of the cosmos as we experience it today. The time when the very first stars burst into life, when darkness gave way to light. After hundreds of millions of years of dark, uneventful expansion, one by the one these stars suddenly came into being. This was the point at which the chaos of the Big Bang first began to yield to the order of galaxies, black holes and stars, kick-starting the pathway to planets, to comets, to moons, and to life itself. Incorporating the very latest research into this branch of astrophysics, this book sheds light on this time of darkness, telling the story of these first stars, hundreds of times the size of the Sun and a million times brighter, lonely giants that lived fast and died young in powerful explosions that seeded the Universe with the heavy elements that we are made of. Emma Chapman tells us how these stars formed, why they were so unusual, and what they can teach us about the Universe today. She also offers a first-hand look at the immense telescopes about to come on line to peer into the past, searching for the echoes and footprints of these stars, to take this period in the Universe's history from the realm of theoretical physics towards the wonder of observational astronomy.
