Offering an accessible and non-mathematical exploration of Einstein's theory of relativity, this new title from the authors of "The Quantum Universe" includes 70 line diagrams, 110 half-tones, and 60 color plates. It aims to elucidate complex concepts in a way that is engaging and understandable for readers without a scientific background.

This book presents the first broad look at the rapidly emerging field of data-intensive science, with the goal of influencing the worldwide scientific and computing research communities and inspiring the next generation of scientists. Increasingly, scientific breakthroughs will be powered by advanced computing capabilities that help researchers manipulate and explore massive datasets. The speed at which any given scientific discipline advances will depend on how well its researchers collaborate with one another, and with technologists, in areas of eScience such as databases, workflow management, visualization, and cloud-computing technologies. This collection of essays expands on the vision of pioneering computer scientist Jim Gray for a new, fourth paradigm of discovery based on data-intensive science and offers insights into how it can be fully realized.
