Fred Hoyle was a Yorkshire truant who became the voice of British astronomy. For fifty years, he spoke out for astronomy in the newspapers, on government committees, at scientific meetings, in popular books and on the radio. He devised a never-ending history of the universe, and worked out how the elements were made. He founded a prestigious institute for theoretical astronomy and built a giant telescope, and if it rained on his summer holiday, he sat in his caravan and wrote science fiction novels for his legions of fans around the world. Fred Hoyle also claimed that diseases fall from the sk

A fascinating and insightful look at science in the media. Does the general public need to understand science? And if so, is it scientists’ responsibility to communicate? Critics have argued that, despite the huge strides made in technology, we live in a "scientifically illiterate" society--one that thinks about the world and makes important decisions without taking scientific knowledge into account. But is the solution to this "illiteracy" to deluge the layman with scientific information? Or does science news need to be focused around specific issues and organized into stories

"The theory of digraphs has developed enormously within the last three decades, but no previous book contains more than one chapter or a few elementary results on digraphs. This book provides a well-structured introduction to digraph theory and an extensive summary on digraphs, which ranges from quite elementary to very advanced, theoretical and algorithmic, results and applications. It contains more than 700 exercises and a number of open problems and conjectures. It is suitable for a wide audience, especially students and scientists in various areas, including computer science, operations re

The confluence of the fields of liquid crystals and biomedical engineering is resulting in remarkable interdisciplinary research. This book focuses on the potential for inherently translational research in one field of engineering to radically alter the scope of another. The text reviews the exciting advances being made in displays, spectroscopy, sensors and diagnostics, biomimicking, actuators and lasers with regards to liquid crystalline materials, and biomedicine. The liquid crystal field which has delivered revolutionary devices in the display, optics, and telecommunications industries is
