But as Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein makes brilliantly clear, we all have a right to know the night sky. One of the leading physicists of her generation, she is also one of the fewer than one hundred Black women to earn a PhD in physics.You will enjoy -- and share -- her love for physics, from the Standard Model of Particle Physics and what lies beyond it, to the physics of melanin in skin, to the latest theories of dark matter -- all with a new spin and rhythm informed by pop culture, hip hop, politics, and Star Trek. This vision of the cosmos is vibrant, inclusive and buoyantly non-traditional.By welcoming the insights of those who have been left out for too long, we expand our understanding of the universe and our place in it. The Disordered Cosmos is a vision for a world without prejudice that allows everyone to view the wonders of the universe through the same starry eyes.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 242mmItem Length: 154mmItem Width: 32mmItem Weight: 540gAuthor: Chanda Prescod-WeinsteinGenre: Science Nature & MathTopic: Society & Culture, Social Sciences, Gender Sex & RelationshipsRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
