        Hindu Myths

        From Ancient Cosmology to Gods and Demons

        by MARTIN J. DOUGHERTY

        There is no clear start point for Hinduism, no single prophet or messiah who taughtpeople how to worship and the forms to follow. Nor is there a single text containingthe universal truths; instead, there are many different practices and innumerablevariants of common myths and tales.From the ancient Sanskrit texts of the Upanishads, Vedas, Mahabharata and Ramayana, the characters, gods and narratives of Hinduism emerged to demonstratethe moral precepts, duties and correct behaviour of Hinduism. Learn about Vediccosmology, which is divided into four cyclical Yugas, or epochs, and which has nobeginning or end; or the creation myth of Varaha, a powerful boar who saved theearth from primordial waters; or the legend of Rama, who against great odds rescueshis love Sita from the demon-king Ravana; or Vishnu, the greatest god in the HinduTrimurti (triad), who takes the form of nine different avatars and stops the earth frombeing destroyed through preserving Atman, the unchanging ultimate reality.Illustrated with 120 photographs and artworks, Hindu Myths is an accessible,engaging and highly informative exploration of the complex mythology underlyingone of the world’s oldest and most influential religions.

        PLN-50 – Planisphere for 50° North latitude

        The perfect way to learn how to recognise the stars and constellations, very accurate between 45° and 55° north latitude

        by Rob Walrecht

        A Planisphere or ‘Star Wheel’ is the perfect way to learn how to recognise the stars and constellations. It consists of a star chart showing all stars and constellations that are visible from a certain area (latitude). However, stars rise and set and the Night Sky changes from season to season. Therefore a second disc is placed on top of the star chart, containing a ‘horizon’ that defines the visible part of the sky at any given moment, which is naturally half of the total starry sky. That moment can be set at the desired date and time. Rob Walrecht’s planisphere design is very modern and attractive. His planispheres are among the best in the world. His programme is the most extensive in the world, with English planispheres for the entire populated world, and planispheres in thirteen other languages (in 2013). The basic star chart contains some 700 stars and 300 ‘objects for binoculars’: galaxies, nebulae, open and globular clusters, double and variable stars that can be seen with the naked eye or at least with binoculars. This is an English planisphere for 60° north, perfect anywhere between 55° and 65° north. It is a round planisphere, 25 cm in diameter, with instructions and a few interesting tips on the backside. For use in for instance: North Canada, Iceland, Northern Europe and Northern Russia. Rob Walrecht Productions is specialised in customised planispheres, so you can have one for any latitude zone, in any language, in any size, shape and colours, and in any design.

        Higgs gevonden

        Complete overview of the building blocks of matter (tr.)

        by Rob Walrecht & Luc Hendriks

        Code B04 - English translation of title: Higgs found In July 2012 scientists announced that they had found the Higgs particle, with almost 100% certainty. This booklet, published a few months later, is a complete overview of matter, from atoms and molecules, via protons, neutrons and electrons, to the elementary particles that make up all matter and energy that we know. This book is useful for everyone who is interested in the basics of matter. The first chapter is about atoms, molecules, protons, neutrons and electrons; the Periodic Table, atom mass and atom number; chemical reactions; ions and ionisation; isotopes and radioactivity and more. It is for ages 14 years and up. The second chapter is an introduction to particle physics: elementary particles and the Standard Model; and particle-wave duality – so for older youngsters. The third chapter is about the Higgs particle, the theory, particle accelerators and the 50 years long and quite expensive search for this elusive particle. And do you measure the Higgs particle? With many illustrations (including an adapted Standard Model) and pictures.

        A Star Wheel (or Planisphere) is the perfect way to learn how to recognise the stars and constellations. It consists of a star chart showing all stars and constellations that are visible from a certain area (latitude). However, stars rise and set and the Night Sky changes from season to season. Therefore a second disc is placed on top of the star chart, containing a ‘horizon’ that defines the visible part of the sky at any given moment, which is naturally half of the total starry sky. That moment can be set at the desired date and time. Rob Walrecht’s BIY Star Wheel was designed for ages up to 15 years, in 1985. Since 2002 there are also English designs for 40° and 50° north. The current Dutch design is the most modern of the three and in fact the colours used in the star chart will be the future standard colours for the Planispheres. The star chart is basically the same as that of our planispheres (so as accurate!), although with less ‘objects for binoculars’ (galaxies, nebulae, open and globular clusters, double and variable stars that can be seen with the naked eye or at least with binoculars). This is to not make it too complicated for young people. Also and for the same reason, the right ascension/declination features are omitted. The Star Wheel is provided on a sheet of 400 g cardboard, size 42 x 30 cm (A3), printed on one side, and with a folding line to fold it to size 21 x 30 cm (A4). However, we can make any required design, for any latitude zone, in any language, in any size, shape and colours, and in any design.
