In this chapter we present the foundations of Newton’s theory of gravitation. Intuitively, the theory of gravitation is easiest to understand as “action at a distance,” Latin actio ad distans, where the force between two masses is proportional to the masses themselves, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This is the form of Newton’s general law of grav…
In traditional societies, undoubtedly the most common conception of the figure of the Earth was that the Earth is a flat disc extending to the horizon, with the sky curving like a dome over her. On the inner surface of the dome, the celestial bodies describe their complicated orbits. Children also have generally the same conception. Only with formal education does this “naïve world model” …
In this book we will be concerned with the basics of the macromolecular interactions that affect cellular processes. The basic tools for such studies are genetics, chemistry, and physics. For the most part, we will be concerned with understanding processes that occur within cells, such as DNA synthesis, protein synthesis, and regulation of gene activity. The initial studies of these processes u…

In the last decade, the international demand for medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) has continuously increased. This development offers a significant marketing opportunity to Kosovo. Of particular interest is the development of the demand in Europe. Most products are sold in a dried form. This gives them a high value per weight unit. The market prices for MAPs vary strongly depending on …
Classical Newtonian physics can be used to describe atmospheric behavior. Namely, air motions obey Newton’s laws of dynamics. Heat satisfies the laws of thermodynamics. Air mass and moisture are conserved. When applied to a fluid such as air, these physical processes describe fluid mechanics. Meteorology is the study of the fluid mechanics, physics, and chemistry of Earth’s atmosphere. Th…
Each energy crisis has echoes of the past, and the acute strains on marketstoday are drawing comparison with the most severe energy disruptions in modern energy history, most notably the oil shocks of the 1970s. Then, as now, there were strong geopolitical drivers for the rise in prices, which led to high inflation and economic damage. Then, as now, the crises brought to the surface some underl…

The immune system is a network of cells, tissues*, and organs that work together to defend the body against attacks by “foreign” invaders. These are primarily microbes (germs)—tiny, infection-causing organisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi. Because the human body provides an ideal environment for many microbes, they try to break in. It is the immune system’s job to ke…
Botany is the scientific study of plants and plant-like organisms. It helps us understand why plants are so vitally important to the world. Plants start the majority of food and energy chains, they provide us with oxygen, food and medicine. Plants can be divided into two groups: plants1 and plants2. Plants1 contain all photosynthetic organisms which use light, H2O, and CO2 to make organic compo…
Fifteen to twenty billion years ago, the universe arose as a cataclysmic eruption of hot, energy-rich subatomic particles. Within seconds, the simplest elements (hydrogen and helium) were formed. As the universe expanded and cooled, material condensed under the influence of gravity to form stars. Some stars became enormous and then exploded as supernovae, releasing the energy needed to fuse sim…
