Narrator: Kim Bretton

A playful guide to understanding the ways of "normal people", The Autist’s Guide to the Galaxy flips our usual scripts about neurodiversity. Clara Törnvall has written a fun, comprehensive, and accessible explanation of neurotypical, or "normal", behavior. Full of facts, tips, and tests, and developed with input from other autists, this book places the difficulties autists face in the context of a world built for the neurotypical majority. It will help neurodiverse people-and their families, friends, and loved ones-navigate this world, nurture stronger relationships, and thrive.

Dressing a Galaxy The Costumes of Star Wars


Free Download George Lucas, Rick McCallum, "Dressing a Galaxy: The Costumes of Star Wars"
English | 2005 | ISBN: 0810965674 | PDF | pages: 232 | 31.6 mb
While the Star Wars saga is famous for its elaborate sets and for revolutionary visual effects, it also features some of the most unique and ornate costumes in modern film. In this exquisite volume, the intricate and beautiful fashions that have appeared in all six Star Wars films are on display-from military gear to royal gowns and the iconic garbs of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader. Every costume is brilliantly displayed in intimate detail, from preproduction sketches to the final creations. Actors, including Natalie Portman and Samuel L. Jackson, provide commentary on their experiences during principal photography, while writer-director George Lucas and producer Rick McCallum contribute their thoughts on this exploration of Star Wars costume design. Accompanied by an exhibition at the The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) Museum & Galleries at FIDM in Los Angeles, this unique visual treat is a must-have for any Star Wars fan. An additional limited-edition run of this book will be released with lavish gatefolds, fabric swatches, and a cast replica of a Wookiee belt-buckle, sure to be the ultimate Star Wars collectible.

The Spiral Galaxy M33


Free Download The Spiral Galaxy M33 by P. Hodge
English | PDF (True) | 2012 | 163 Pages | ISBN : 9400720246 | 7.4 MB
This book summarizes the gathering of information on and the growing understanding of M33 from the 1920s, when Hubble first determined its true nature, to the 21st century, when the Hubble Telescope probed deeply into its many secrets. With its regular symmetrical spiral structure, and its being not tilted too much and near enough to allow detailed studies of its stars, M33 is well-suited for the study of a typical spiral galaxy.

Multiwavelength Mapping of Galaxy Formation and Evolution

English | 2005 | pages: 512 | ISBN: 3642065090, 3540256652 | PDF | 35,7 mb
The possibilities of astronomical observation have dramatically increased over the last decade. Major satellites, like the Hubble Space Telescope, Chandra and XMM Newton, are complemented by numerous large ground-based observatories, from 8m-10m optical telescopes to sub-mm and radio facilities. As a result, observational astronomy has access to virtually the whole electromagnetic spectrum of galaxies, even at high redshifts. Theoretical models of galaxy formation and cosmological evolution now face a serious challenge to match the plethora of observational data.

Galaxy Interactions at Low and High Redshift Proceedings of the 186th Symposium of the International Astronomical Union , held


Free Download Galaxy Interactions at Low and High Redshift: Proceedings of the 186th Symposium of the International Astronomical Union , held at Kyoto, Japan, 26-30 August 1997 By Francois Schweizer (auth.), J. E. Barnes, D. B. Sanders (eds.)
1999 | 519 Pages | ISBN: 0792358333 | PDF | 21 MB
The 186th IAU Symposium came at an exciting and perhaps even historic time for extragalactic astronomy. New spacecraft observations plumbed the depths of the Universe out to redshifts of five, while revealing astounding details of nearby galaxies and AGN at intermediate redshifts. Theoretical ideas on structure formation, together with results from detailed numerical modeling, created a comprehensive framework for modeling the formation of galaxies and the transformation of galaxies by interactions and mergers. All these strands came together at the Symposium, as participants glimpsed a developing synthesis highlighting galactic encounters and their role in the history of the Universe. This volume offers professional astronomers, including PhD students, an overview of the rapidly advancing subject of galaxy interactions at low and high redshifts.

Galaxy Collisions Forging New Worlds from Cosmic Crashes (2024)


Free Download Galaxy Collisions: Forging New Worlds from Cosmic Crashes by Curtis Struck
English | PDF | 2011 | 292 Pages | ISBN : 0387853707 | 143.29 MB
Galaxy collisions are the key process in building galaxies, triggering the formation of stars and the build-up of heavy elements that allow the formation of planets and solar systems. This book presents the revolutionary research advances achieved in the last decade and lucidly explains the underlying dynamical processes.
