The Autobiography

By: Sir Patrick Moore

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Throughout his distinguised career, Patrick Moore has, without a doubt, done more to raise the profile of astronomy amoung the British public than any other figure in the scientific world. As the presenter of The Sky at Night on BBC television for nearly 50 years he was honoured with an OBE in 1968 and a CBE in 1988. In 2001 he was knighted 'for services to the popularisation of science and to broadcasting'. The BBC first aired The Sky at Night in April 1957 and it is now in the record books as the world's longest running TV series with the same presenter. He is also the author of over 60 books on astronomy, all of which, including his autobiography have been written on his 1908 typewriter. Partly thanks to his larger-than-life personality, Sir Patrick's own fame extends far beyond astronomical circles. A self-taught musician and talented composer, he has displayed his xylophone-playing skills at the Royal Variety Performance and as a passionate supporter of cricket, he has played for the Lord's Taverners charity cricket team.

Patrick Moore’s Millennium Yearbook

The View from AD 1001

By: Patrick Moore,Allan Chapman

In a characteristically off-beat approach, Patrick Moores Millennium Yearbook celebrateswell, the wrong millennium. Articles on Bodes observations, King Alfreds chronological work, reviews of a new Star Catalogue by Al-Sufi and the latest edition of Ptolemys Almagast complement a review of modern astronomical equipment. This thoroughly entertaining book will almost certainly be the only one to celebrate the coming of the year 1000 A.D.!

Motivated by Pain

Gentlemen, You Will Lose Her Unless...

By: Patrick Moore

He is naked in his bathroom. Fresh vomit stains his beard, hands, feet and legs. He cries uncontrollably - screaming, drunk as hell, with a good amount of Xanax, vodka, Soma and beer in his system, desperately wishing the pain would subside. He cant move. Its as if he is paralyzed. Perhaps he just wants to be gone? Not deadjust not living right now. Its no secret that pain from a divorce can create intense feelings of shame and confusion. It can feel as though youre trapped, scared and alone. Too quickly in our relationships we run for the hills rather than sticking with our partner - till death truly do us part. Motivated By Pain is a raw and emotionally-charged book in which Patrick Moore examines common personality differences between men and women, the raging battle of testosterone versus estrogen and the insurmountable damage stress can place on our relationships. Moores story will make you laugh, it will make you cry, but most of all it will make you think twice about the choices you are about to make...

Patrick Moore on Mars

By: Patrick Moore

In this revised edition, Patrick Moore, familiar and undisputed expert on the stars and planets, tells the full story of Mars revealed, from the early myths to the present day. This is Mars as it really is: its place in the solar system, its structure, surface, mountains, volcanoes, impact craters, ice-caps, atmosphere, weather. Everything we currently know about Mars is chronicled in a detailed, fascinating, well-illustrated text. Patrick Moore orbits through an ever more exciting story of scientific discovery in his unique, enthusiastic style. The possibility of life on Mars, past or present, is carefully explored in the light of the latest evidence. Looking to the future of Martian exploration, Patrick Moore shows that even after centuries of astronomical research and speculation, our acquaintance with Mars is only just beginning.

Moore on Mercury

The Planet and the Missions

By: Patrick Moore

In his inimitable, easy-going style, Patrick Moore describes Mercury. He writes of the professional astronomers who have observed it over the centuries, amateur observations, and the past, present and future space missions to this extraordinary world. In doing so he has written the most up-to-date book about Mercury for amateur astronomers. Mercury is one of the more difficult objects for astronomers to observe because of its close proximity to the Sun. However, amateur astronomers can see the planet and its ever-changing phases all year, and sometimes watch it transit the Sun – the next transit is in November 2006, followed by one in May 2016.

The Story of the Earth

The Story of the Earth

By: Peter John Cattermole,Patrick Moore

The Story of the Earth presents the complex history of the Earth from its formation through to the emergence of man and his influence on the planet. Peter Cattermole and Patrick Moore trace the evolution of Earth from its beginnings in the primeval Solar Nebula, through its bombardment by cosmic particles, continental drifting and the formation of mountains and oceans, and end with a study of the last Ice Age and the rise of man. While the approach is roughly chronological, time is spent in explaining some of the methods that geologists, physicists, chemists and biologists use to discover what processes have contributed to the internal make-up and external appearance of our unique planet. Accounts are included of the dramatic events that are still changing the face of the Earth: volcanoes and photographs - several taken from orbiting satelites - help to elucidate the story.

Game of My Life Georgia Bulldogs

Memorable Stories of Bulldog Football

By: Patrick Garbin,A. P. Garbin

In Game of My Life Georgia Bulldogs, several prominent Georgia players of the past share their fondest single-game experience and memories, in their own words. Some of these games involve championships, and others seem ordinary save for significant personal meaning. In each case, it is the player who singles out the game, that moment in time that to him is the most defining of his Bulldog career. From Pro Football Hall of Famer Charley Trippi to Tra Battle, who in 2006 helped the Bulldogs shock Auburn, and many more great Bulldogs in between, the players have created a plethora of memorable experiences on the football field. In this book, they can tell you about those games when everything seemed to come together to create an experience that they will never forget.

A Practical Introduction to Hardware/Software Codesign

A Practical Introduction to Hardware/Software Codesign

By: Patrick R. Schaumont

This is a practical book for computer engineers who want to understand or implement hardware/software systems. It focuses on problems that require one to combine hardware design with software design – such problems can be solved with hardware/software codesign. When used properly, hardware/software co- sign works better than hardware design or software design alone: it can improve the overall performance of digital systems, and it can shorten their design time. Hardware/software codesign can help a designer to make trade-offs between the ?exibility and the performanceof a digital system. To achieve this, a designer needs to combine two radically different ways of design: the sequential way of dec- position in time, using software, with the parallel way of decomposition in space, using hardware. Intended Audience This book assumes that you have a basic understandingof hardware that you are - miliar with standard digital hardware componentssuch as registers, logic gates, and components such as multiplexers and arithmetic operators. The book also assumes that you know how to write a program in C. These topics are usually covered in an introductory course on computer engineering or in a combination of courses on digital design and software engineering.

By: Patrick W. Tank,John Charles Boileau Grant

Grant's Dissector walks students step by step through dissection procedures in the anatomy lab. Each chapter is consistently organized, beginning with a brief study of surface anatomy followed by concise coverage of osteology, presenting important foundational structures that will aid in localization of soft tissue structures. Each unit begins with a "Dissection Overview," a guide to the procedures to be accomplished during the session. This is followed by "Dissection Instructions," with a logical sequence and numbered steps for the dissection. Each dissection concludes with a "Dissection Review" that presents a numbered list of tasks illustrating the important features of the dissection and encouraging the synthesis of information.

Anglo-German Interactions in the Literature of the 1890s

By: Patrick Bridgwater

This is a study of what the main ""aesthetic"" writers of late 19th-century Britain made of German literature, and of how Germany in turn reacted to them. The impact of Anglo-Scottish art nouveau in fin-de-siecle Austria and Germany made it predictable that Keats, Pater and Rossetti, among others, would be well received, but no one could have known in advance that by the time of their deaths, Swinburne and Wilde would be more highly regarded in Germany than in Britain. Bridgwater's documented study casts light on the central cultural issues of the day, including ideas of morality, truth and subjectivism in art, comparing Pater and Wilde with Nietzsche, and George Moore, that chameleon of the decadent 90s, with Schopenhauer.

Darwinian Feminism and Early Science Fiction

Angels, Amazons, and Women

By: Patrick B Sharp

This book is the first detailed scholarly examination of women’s SF in the early magazine period before the Second World War. This is a sustained study of women writing in the genre before World War II, something that has never been done in a monograph. The author shows how women such as Margaret Cavendish and Mary Shelley drew critical attention to the colonial mindset of scientific masculinity which was attached to scientific institutions that excluded women.

Smokin' Rockets

The Romance of Technology in American Film, Radio and Television, 1945-1962

By: Patrick Lucanio,Gary Coville

Science and technology had a significant influence on American culture and thought in the years immediately following World War II. The new wonders of science and the threat of the Soviet Union as a powerful new enemy made science fiction a popular genre in radio, television, and film. Mutant creatures spawned by radioactive energy and intergalactic dictators unleashing horrific weapons upon Earth were characteristic of science fiction at the time and served as warnings to the very real dangers posed by the atomic age. This work examines science and science fiction in American culture beginning in the year World War II ended and going to 1962, the year of John Glenn's orbital flight and the Cuban Missile Crisis. The radio work of Arch Oboler and the significance of his "Rocket from Manhattan," which aired only one month after the dropping of the first atomic bomb and asked serious questions about the use of atomic energy, are examined. Other topics are the conflict between the free world and the Communist world in the context of science fiction plot lines, the dangers of science as shown in films like Godzilla, Them!, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and radio and television programs, the flying saucer phenomenon and the treatment of such stories in the media (with special attention given to the 1956 documentary UFO), the changing and more positive depictions of scientists, television programs like Flash Gordon and Space Patrol, the shift in the balance of world power due to the successful launching of Sputnik I by the Russians in 1957, the "end of the world" theme in science fiction, and the American journey into space.

Mental Lexicon

Some Words to Talk about Words

By: Patrick Bonin

This book is about the mental lexicon and opens an understanding of this aspect of human cognition. The mental lexicon is still a central topic in psycholinguistics and, more generally speaking, in cognitive science. Is it possible to define what is intended by the expression "mental lexicon", a concept coined by Oldfield as early as 1966? Are the terms that the authors have at their disposal still sufficient to discuss this hypothesised mental entity -- the mental lexicon -- which is intended to cover many different aspects of words? The authors propose as a working definition that the mental lexicon corresponds to the mental repository of all representations that are intrinsically related to words. This book extends its research in psycholinguistics and focuses on the word.
