Science Books and Book Reviews
Isaac Newton
by James Gleick
“Let no one suppose that the mighty work of
Newton can really be superceded by this or any
other theory. His great and lucid ideas will retain
their unique significance for all time as the
foundation of our whole modern conceptual
structure in the sphere of natural philosophy.” –
Albert Einstein (1919) – quoted in Isaac Newton.

Longitude

Imagine being on a ship at sea, during an era when
there were no global positioning satellites and no
radios. Maps were inaccurate, and the keeping of
precise time aboard ship was impossible.

Aquatic Ecology – Scientists at Australia’s Scientific and Industrial
Research Organization (CSIRO) have discovered hundreds of new
marine species and dozens of undersea mountains in a project to
monitor the Commonwealth Marine Reserve Network off southern
Tasmania. This scientific endeavor is intended to take inventories of
biodiversity and habitats, and further the ongoing monitoring of the
Marine Reserve Network. The science team’s findings included 274
species new to science and a further 80 seamounts, or undersea
mountains, which are some of the most biologically important
habitats in our oceans. <<More>>

Astro Physics - A team of scientists led by the University of Maryland has discovered a
new source of cosmic rays that is relatively near the Earth. Cosmic rays are actually
charged particles, including protons and electrons that are accelerated to high energies
from sources both outside and inside our galaxy. The sources of cosmic rays have been
a mystery since they were first discovered almost a 100 years ago. <<More>>

Palaeontology - A scientific expedition to the Canadian arctic has discovered the
fossilized skeleton of a mammal that had a body resembling that of an otter, but a skull
that is more closely related to seals. The discovery helps to fill in the evolutionary
land-to-sea transition of the group that includes seals, sea lions and walruses <<More>>

Astronomy - Scientists using a spectograph attached to a telescope at the European
Southern Observatory in Chile have discovered a new planet just over 20 light years from the
Earth. What's unique about this latest discovery is the mass of the newly discovered planet,
which is only about twice the mass of Earth, making it the lightest planet discovered to date.
