Download or read book Chasing the Sun written by Richard Cohen and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-08-04 with total page 659 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sun is so powerful, so much bigger than us, that it is a terrifying subject. Yet though we depend on it, we take it for granted. Amazingly the first book of its kind, CHASING THE SUNis a cultural and scientific history of our relationship with the star that gives us life. Richard Cohen, applying the same mix of wide-ranging reference and intimate detail that won outstanding reviews for By the Sword, travels from the ancient Greek astronomers to modern-day solar scientists, from Stonehenge to Antarctica (site of the solar eclipse of 2003, when penguins were said to sing), Mexico's Aztecs to the Norwegian city of Tromso, where for two months of the year there is no Sun at all. He introduces us to the crucial 'sunspot cycle' in modern economics, the religious dances of Indian tribesmen, the histories of sundials and calendars, the plight of migrating birds, the latest theories of global warming, and Galileo recording his discoveries in code, for fear of persecution. And throughout, there is the rich Sun literature -- from the writings of Homer through Dante and Nietzsche to Keats, Shelley and beyond. Blindingly impressive and hugely readable, this is a tour de force of narrative non-fiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SHORTLISTED FOR THE ROYAL SOCIETY SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE 2021 FINALIST FOR THE PEN/E.O. WILSON LITERARY SCIENCE WRITING AWARD AN AMAZON BEST BOOK OF 2020 To be an astronomer is to journey to some of the most inaccessible parts of the globe, braving mountain passes, sub-zero temperatures, and hostile flora and fauna. Not to mention the stress of handling equipment worth millions. It is a life of unique delights and absurdities … and one that may be drawing to a close. Since Galileo first pointed his telescope at the heavens, astronomy has stood as a fount of human creativity and discovery, but soon it will be the robots gazing at the sky while we are left to sift through the data. In The Last Stargazers, Emily Levesque reveals the hidden world of the professional astronomer. She celebrates an era of ingenuity and curiosity, and asks us to think twice before we cast aside our sense of wonder at the universe.

Book Synopsis Murder in Scorpio by : Martha C. Lawrence
Download or read book Murder in Scorpio written by Martha C. Lawrence and published by Speaking Volumes. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Licensed Private Investigator Elizabeth Chase is used to skeptical glares and sarcastic comments when she's working on a case. Her unorthodox methods tend to surprise people: Dr. Chase is also a double-Ph.D. parapsychologist who uses her understanding of the paranormal in her investigations. Certainly some of her techniques do stand out a bit from those of the average P. I., such as her ability to see auras around witnesses or pluck important clues from her own dreams. So naturally, Escondido Police Department Sergeant Tom McGowan has some internal doubts about consulting Elizabeth on a case involving the so-called accidental death of his old high-school friend Janice Freeman. As her investigations cast an increasingly suspicious light on Janice's death, Tom quickly gains more than a little respect (and affection) for Elizabeth. But the closer she gets to the truth, the less either Tom's protection or the intervention of the stars and planets may be able to keep Elizabeth out of harm's way. In this delightful series debut, Martha Lawrence captures the sunny, offbeat appeal—as well as the danger—of Southern California and introduces an original detective who promises to enchant readers for many cases to come. "One of the most engaging mysteries I've ever read. There's no tougher critic than a Virgo, and this Virgo says Murder in Scorpio is flawless.—Nancy Pickard, author of Confession
Download or read book Chasing Tiger written by Curt Sampson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2002-06-03 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All eat from the bowl of life. Tiger Woods just has a bigger spoon. So writes Curt Sampson in his ground-breaking account of the current state of golf. Tiger Woods has changed golf forever. His mix of power and skill combines with his extraordinary business savvy to make Woods the biggest global sports figure since Michael Jordan. Like Jordan, Woods' competitive signature is equal parts inspiration and intimidation. But what about the other guys? It's either catch up or give up for the rest of the golfing world, and in Chasing Tiger Curt Sampson exuberantly charts the state of the game as the new century unfolds. There are Duval and Mickelson and a host of other stars, of course, but there are also the junior golfers and their parents, corporate America, agents, instructors, fans, and the media. Just as he did in his controversial bestsellers Hogan and The Masters, Sampson digs deep to uncover stories that wouldn't otherwise be told. There's the golf course employee in Austin whose admiration for Woods leads him to spend every waking minute mimicking his hero (including the trademark pumping fist, only here it's on the practice green). There's the awestruck unemployed talk show host who stretches the bounds of good taste and hero worship with his Web site, Tigerwoodsisgod.com. At the other end of the scale is Charles Howell III, skinny as a 2-iron, a up-and-coming player who has been tapped by Jack Nicklaus to be the next great challenge to Woods. Howell is the anti-Tiger: a man unfailingly friendly to fans and media, recently married, opinionated, and entirely lacking in caution, yet he struggles to earn enough money to make the Tour. Curt Sampson has written an affectionate yet wary account of one extraordinary man's impact on the world of sport. By turns moving, hilarious, and eye-opening, Chasing Tiger is a wonderful addition to the golf canon.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Legendary Navajo policeman Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn takes center stage in this riveting atmospheric mystery from New York Times bestselling author Anne Hillerman that combines crime, superstition, and tradition and brings the desert Southwest vividly alive. Joe Leaphorn may have retired from the Tribal Police, but he finds himself knee-deep in a perplexing case involving a priceless artifact—a reminder of a dark time in Navajo history. Joe’s been hired to find a missing biil, a traditional dress that had been donated to the Navajo Nation. His investigation takes a sinister turn when the leading suspect dies under mysterious circumstances and Leaphorn himself receives anonymous warnings to beware—witchcraft is afoot. While the veteran detective is busy working to untangle his strange case, his former colleague Jim Chee and Officer Bernie Manuelito are collecting evidence they hope will lead to a cunning criminal behind a rash of burglaries. Their case takes a complicated turn when Bernie finds a body near a popular running trail. The situation grows more complicated when the death is ruled a homicide, and the Tribal cops are thrust into a turf battle because the murder involves the FBI. As Leaphorn, Chee, and Bernie draw closer to solving these crimes, their parallel investigations begin to merge . . . and offer an unexpected opportunity that opens a new chapter in Bernie’s life.

Download or read book Stargazer II written by Thomas Chase and published by A-Argus Better Book Pub. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The day has arrived. Stargazer and his troupe prepare the trap that will with-precision and luck-kill the Scog that is slowly destroying the Tarook forest. Albeit, a dangerous undertaking, Stargazer feels the task is part of his destiny of why he was placed on the planet Arret. Afterwards, he can begin his search for a way off the planet and not be plagued with a guilty conscience. Besides, he is eager in a perverted sense to test the limits of Tarella's enhance. As with all best laid plans, when the Scog arrives and the trap is set into motion, it goes awry and tragedy strikes. He thinks it ironic, that he stayed to help and yet still has to deal with guilt and maybe he shouldn't have offered to help kill the Scog. In any event, he decides that his next course of action is to venture to Falling Star Mountains and seek out the legend. Was it a meteor or was it a ship? He hopes for the latter, and maybe he will find information inside that will aid him with leaving the planet Arret and find a way home. Meanwhile, on the starship inside the massive arboretum, ABBI flees a tiger that the computer awakens. Inside a cave, she discovers flint rocks and fire is born. To her dismay, the small scraggly tree inside the cave has only so many limbs for fuel and she needs to find another way out before the tiger finds a way in. While she searches, she encounters a few furry creatures that she knows as rabbits. Though she has only been human for a short time and holds all life sacred, she knows her only way to survive is to kill and eat the rabbits. Afterwards, she finds a tunnel and escapes the cave and finds herself overlooking a vast landscape inside the arboretum. But the computer isn't finished with its attempts at ridding the ship of the human, and ABBI encounters more life forms, all of which are ravenous carnivores. Commander Dath prepares for a planet drop. The fleet is in desperate needs of supplies. He and his landing party will, one way or another acquire such needs on the planet Zoria. He cares not if they are given, or if they have to 'borrow' such goods. His thinking is distorted with all the pain meds he has been administering, and soon after negotiations begin, he insults the Zorians and a fight ensues and a few of the Kymions in the landing party are attacked and ripped apart. Before escaping, however, they acquire what they need and return to the fleet, unawares that the soil and water they 'borrowed' is tainted.The watcher Darok is frustrated and angry with the last earthling he sends down to the surface. Especially after it has the audacity to return to his ship and attack him. He sends the drone to Earth and brings back not one but three flat-faced animals, brothers of evil themselves. He programs them to seek out the earthling and destroy him. Once again, with the best laid plans, it also goes awry and an evil entity that escapes Stargazer's subconscious awaits them and takes over one of the life forms. It calls himself NeoZ, as if believes it is a new and special type of human. NeoZ battles its two brothers and then ventures out to kill Stargazer.
