For a physicist all the world is information The Universe & its workings are the ebb & flow of information We are all transient patterns of information passing on the recipe for our basic forms to future generations using a four-letter digital code called DNA In this engaging & mind-stretching account Vlatko Vedral considers some of the deepest questions about the Universe & considers the implications of interpreting it in terms of information He explains the nature of information the idea of entropy & the roots of this thinking in thermodynamics He describes the bizarre effects of quantum behaviour
- effects such as &entanglement& which Einstein called &spooky action at a distance& & explores cutting edge work on harnessing quantumeffects in hyperfast quantum computers & how recent evidence suggests that the weirdness of the quantum world once thought limited to the tiniest scales may reach into the macro world Vedral finishes by considering the answer to the ultimate question where did all of the information in the Universe come from? The answers he considers are exhilarating drawing upon the work of distinguished physicist John Wheeler The ideas challenge our concept of the nature of particles of time of determinism & of reality itself This edition

Includes:: a new foreword from the author reflecting on changes in the world of quantum information since first publication Oxford Landmark Science books are &must-read& classics of modern science writing which have crystallized big ideas & shaped the way we think

Millions of Africans Asians & other peoples were the subjects of colonial rule by overseas empires through the mid-twentieth century By the end of the century however nearly all of these peoples had become citizens of independent nation-states The United Nations grew from 51 member states at its founding in 1945 to 193 today Its nearly four-fold increase is one measure of the historic shift in international relations that has occurred over the past half-century Decolonization is the term commonly used to refer to this transition from a world of colonial empires to a world of nation-states in the years after World War II Both ex-imperial states & post-colonial regimes have promoted a selective & sanitized version of decolonization that casts their own conduct in a positive light characterizing the process as negotiated & the outcome as inevitable This book draws on recent scholarship to challenge that view demonstrating that considerable violence & instability accompanied the end of empire & that the outcome was often up for grabs This book highlights three themes The first is that global war between empires precipitated decolonization creating the economic & political crises that gave colonial subjects the opportunity to seek independence The second theme is that nation-state was not the only option pursued by anti-colonial activists Many of them sought pan- & trans-national polities instead but a combination of international & institutional pressures made the nation-state the standard template The third theme is that the struggle to escape imperial subjugation & create nation-states generated widespread violence & produced huge refugee populations leading to political problems that persist to the present day By focusing on these crucial points Dane Kennedy reminds us how the tumultuous even tragic changes caused by the decolonization profoundly shaped the world we live in ...

'A landmark in the process of decolonizing imperial Western knowledge' Walter Mignolo Duke University To the colonized the term 'research' is conflated with European colonialism; the ways in which academic research has been implicated in the throes of imperialism remains a painful memory This essential volume explores intersections of imperialism & research

The advent of sensitive high-resolution observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation & their successful interpretation in terms of the standard cosmological model has led to great confidence in this model's reality The prevailing attitude is that we now understand the Universe & need only work out the details In this book Sanders traces the development & successes of Lambda-CDM & argues that this triumphalism may be premature The model's two major components dark energy & dark matter have the character of the pre-twentieth-century luminiferous aether While there is astronomical evidence for these hypothetical fluids their enigmatic properties call into question our assumptions of the universality of locally determined physical law Sanders explains how modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) is a significant challenge for cold dark matter Overall the message is hopeful the field of cosmology has not become frozen & there is much fundamental work ahead for tomorrow's cosmologists ...
