Asimov, Isaac
About Black Holes
Paperback
1980, Piccolo, illustrated
Condition: very good
Dr. Isaac Asimov gives us the facts on this phenomenon in our universe, this swirling mass of matter - or is it anti-matter? We now know that a black hole is a star that has totally collapsed, resulting in a gravitational pull so enormous that nothing can escape it - not even light waves. Black holes grow and grow as they suck in more and more matter.

Asimov, Isaac
Building Blocks of the Universe
Paperback
1966, Lancer, illustrated
Condition: very good
Once there were 96. Now there are 102. The number of basic elements expands with man's knowledge of the universe. But it is still a limited number, and in this book, Dr. Asimov tells exactly why. He discusses some of the chemical elements separately, some of them in groups - according to their importance to man and their importance in the overall scheme of things ... as well as countless fascinating sidelights.

Asimov, Isaac
Clock We Live On, The
Paperback
1963, Collier, illustrated
Condition: very good
When did man first become conscious of time? What is the origin of the calendar? How did timepieces evolve? Who developed the 24-hour day, the 60-minute hour? Why meridians and longitudes? These and many other questions about the complicated subject of time and its measurement are raised and answered by author-scientist Isaac Asimov. He tells how man established Day 1 as January 1, 4713 B.C., why the week has 7 days, why there is Leap Year. He discusses the Gregorian calendar and the Julian calendar; why the lunar year does not the match the seasons; and mankind's troubles in coordinating the phases of the moon with planting time and harvest time.

How Did We Find Out About Atoms?
Trade-size paperback
1982, Avon Camelot, illustrated
Condition: very good
The ancient Greeks were the first to develop the notion of the atom - the smallest particle in the world and the building block of the universe. But their theory stayed unproven until the 1950's when a new kind of microscope made it possible to see the atom, which showed it actually existed. And modern scientists haven't stopped there. They broke the atom open, and what they found inside is part of its continuing story.

How Did We Find Out About Energy?
Trade-size paperback
1981, Avon Camelot, illustrated

Energy is always with us. Its form may change but never its supply. The first scientists to realize this fact were ignored and later laughed at by critics who were convinced that the use of energy diminished its supply. But today we know that the scientists were right. Here's the fascinating story of the discovery of energy's secrets in all its forms.

How Did We Find Out About Germs?
Trade-size paperback
1981, Avon Camelot, illustrated
Condition: very good
As long as there has been life on earth, there have been germs. But because germs are invisible to the eye, it took the invention of the microscope to see that germs are all around us. And it took the genius of Louis Pasteur to recognize the disease-causing and curing effects of bacteria and viruses - a discovery that has paved the way for modern medicine.

Asimov, Isaac
World of Carbon, The
Paperback
1962, Collier, illustrated
Condition: very good
The extraordinary and exciting world of organic chemistry opens up to the reader in this charming presentation by the nation's most accomplished science writer. With characteristic imagination and vivacity, Dr. Asimov covers the field of organics excluding nitrogen, which is discussed in a companion volume, The World of Nitrogen. Deftly balancing technical material with homey, informal allusions, he makes the sometimes alien subject understandable and interesting, showing its practical application in a host of everyday products from anesthetics and anti-freeze to paint and petroleum.

Asimov, Isaac
World of Nitrogen, The
Paperback
1962, Collier, illustrated
Condition: very good
Many of the substances that have changed our way of life do not exist in nature but were created in the laboratory by the organic chemist; other substances have been carefully isolated from nature. Isaac Asimov covers the entire range of nitrogen-containing organics, from explosives to vitamins and from dyes to antibiotics. As with The World of Carbon, in which he discusses organics that do not contain nitrogen, Dr. Asimov builds a sold appreciation of the achievements of organic chemistry in the world around us.
