Making Waves: The Story of Ruby Payne-Scott: Australian Pioneer Radio Astronomer by M Goss
English | PDF | 2013 | 276 Pages | ISBN : 3642357512 | 6.2 MB

This book is an abbreviated, partly re-written version of "Under the Radar - The First Woman in Radio Astronomy: Ruby Payne-Scott." It addresses a general readership interested in historical and sociological aspects of astronomy and presents the biography of Ruby Payne-Scott (1912 – 1981). As the first female radio astronomer (and one of the first people in the world to consider radio astronomy), she made classic contributions to solar radio physics.

Newton's Gravity: An Introductory Guide to the Mechanics of the Universe by Douglas W. MacDougal
English | PDF,EPUB | 2012 | 442 Pages | ISBN : 1461454433 | 7.4 MB

“Newton’s Gravity” conveys the power of simple mathematics to tell the fundamental truth about nature. Many people know the tides are caused by the pull of the Moon and to a lesser extent the Sun. But very few can explain exactly how and why that happens. Fewer still can calculate the actual pulls of the Moon and Sun on the oceans. This book shows in clear detail how to do this with simple tools.
