Einstein's theory of relativity shattered the world of physics - replacing Newtonian ideas of space and time with bizarre and counterintuitive conclusions, a world of slowing clocks and stretched space, black holes and curved space-time. This introduction explores and explains the theory in an accessible and understandable way.

"This reference introduces the most important fundamental concepts of physicochemical interface science and describes experimental techniques and applications of surface science in relation to biological systems - exploring artificial assemblies of lipids, proteins, and polysaccharides that perform novel functions that living systems cannot duplicate."--BOOK JACKET.

Return to the edge of the final frontier. In the aftermath of a war that brought the Alpha Quadrant to the brink of destruction, Starbase Deep Space 9—the galaxy's nexus of scientific and military intrigue—is once more the flashpoint of impending armageddon as a surprise attack cripples the station, killing hundreds and threatening the fragile new peace. Colonel Kira Nerys and the survivors—together with several controversial new officers—are all who stand against the outbreak of a new war and a terrible doom tied to the unborn child of Captain Benjamin Sisko. Elsewhere, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the starship USS Enterprise make a startling discovery… one that will affect the destiny of an entire civilization and forever change the lives of those aboard Deep Space 9. A bold new beginning for one of the most compelling Star Trek sagas of all.
