Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty years after Isaac Asimov praised Timothy Ferris's GALAXIES as the most beautiful book ever published, MAGNIFICENT UNIVERSE establishes a new standard of excellence in depicting space. No other book even comes close. Ken Croswell takes us across the known universe - from the planets of the Sun to the stars of the Galaxy to the galaxies of the Cosmos. This is, simply, the most beautiful astronomy book in existance. The exploration of space by telescope and space probe continues at an exhilarating pace. While many think that only the Hubble telescope has new photographs of the heavens to offer, MAGNIFICENT UNIVERSE draws not only on Hubble but on fifty different sources. With the latest, stunning astronomical vistas, this lavish book allows us to experience the universe as never before.

Book excerpt: What are the musical sounds that people remember in the diaspora? What are the sounds they create? Recognising the importance that people attach to musical performances, this book explores the significance of widespread Caribbean genres in diaspora politics. Ramnarine uses ethnographic approaches to unravel creative processes of memory, innovation and production and to interrogate geographies of musical canons, hybridity discourses and culture theory. She challenges us to rethink diaspora as only being about displacement, to move beyond the limits of marginalisation and otherness, and to imagine the possibilities of 'beautiful cosmos'. Asking "where is home in the diaspora?" this book presents radical perspectives in the study of diaspora.

Download or read book Mind and Cosmos written by Thomas Nagel and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-11-22 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern materialist approach to life has conspicuously failed to explain such central mind-related features of our world as consciousness, intentionality, meaning, and value. This failure to account for something so integral to nature as mind, argues philosopher Thomas Nagel, is a major problem, threatening to unravel the entire naturalistic world picture, extending to biology, evolutionary theory, and cosmology. Since minds are features of biological systems that have developed through evolution, the standard materialist version of evolutionary biology is fundamentally incomplete. And the cosmological history that led to the origin of life and the coming into existence of the conditions for evolution cannot be a merely materialist history, either. An adequate conception of nature would have to explain the appearance in the universe of materially irreducible conscious minds, as such. Nagel's skepticism is not based on religious belief or on a belief in any definite alternative. In Mind and Cosmos, he does suggest that if the materialist account is wrong, then principles of a different kind may also be at work in the history of nature, principles of the growth of order that are in their logical form teleological rather than mechanistic. In spite of the great achievements of the physical sciences, reductive materialism is a world view ripe for displacement. Nagel shows that to recognize its limits is the first step in looking for alternatives, or at least in being open to their possibility.

Book excerpt: The biggest and best ever reproduction of the Space Age's most remarkable images The magnificent vault of stars emblazoning Earth's night skies are but an infinitesimal fraction of the hundreds of billions that inhabit our galaxy - and there are at least as many galaxies in the universe as there are stars in the Milky Way. Cosmos makes sense of this dizzying celestial panorama by exploring it one step at a time, illustrating the planets, moons, stars, nebulae, white dwarfs, black holes and other exotica that populate the heavens with some of science's most spectacular photographs. The book opens with an orbital survey of planet Earth, before venturing into the solar system heading for interstellar space and the heart of our galaxy. As the journey unfolds, the rhythms of stellar life emerge: we pass through dark clouds of dust and gas ablaze with newly smelted stars and we witness dying stars bloom and fade as planetary nebulae, or tear themselves apart as supernovae. Having crossed the Milky Way, we enter intergalactic space. Out here we watch the hidden lives of galaxies: we see them flock and cluster, forming massive conglomerations that span millions of light years, visibly warping space with their tremendous gravity. After covering an almost unimaginable 13.4 billion light years, we approach the edge of space and the dawn of time where our voyage must end, but not before we consider how the universe was born, and how it might die. A landmark in popular science publishing, Cosmos is a majestic, giant format, account of the ultimate journey - a 13.7-billion-light-year- (or 130-billion-trillion kilometre- ) voyage from our home planet to the edge of the universe and the beginning of time. Illustrated with 450 images of staggering beauty.

Book excerpt: RETURNING TO TELEVISION AS AN ALL-NEW MINISERIES ON FOX Cosmos is one of the bestselling science books of all time. In clear-eyed prose, Sagan reveals a jewel-like blue world inhabited by a life form that is just beginning to discover its own identity and to venture into the vast ocean of space. Featuring a new Introduction by Sagan’s collaborator, Ann Druyan, full color illustrations, and a new Foreword by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, Cosmos retraces the fourteen billion years of cosmic evolution that have transformed matter into consciousness, exploring such topics as the origin of life, the human brain, Egyptian hieroglyphics, spacecraft missions, the death of the Sun, the evolution of galaxies, and the forces and individuals who helped to shape modern science. Praise for Cosmos “Magnificent . . . With a lyrical literary style, and a range that touches almost all aspects of human knowledge, Cosmos often seems too good to be true.”—The Plain Dealer “Sagan is an astronomer with one eye on the stars, another on history, and a third—his mind’s—on the human condition.”—Newsday “Brilliant in its scope and provocative in its suggestions . . . shimmers with a sense of wonder.”—The Miami Herald “Sagan dazzles the mind with the miracle of our survival, framed by the stately galaxies of space.”—Cosmopolitan “Enticing . . . iridescent . . . imaginatively illustrated.”—The New York Times Book Review

Book excerpt: YOUR INNER UNIVERSEHAS DIRECT CONNECTIONS WITH COSMOS. MODERN SCIENTISTS HAVE PROVED THAT A SINGLE ENTITY, CONSCIOUSNESS CONNECTS ALL MATTER AND MIND IN THE PLANETARY UNIVERSE AND YOU ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THAT ONENESS.STOP THINKING OF YOURSELF AS AN INSIGNIFICANT HUMAN LIVING IN AN UNENDING PLANETARY UNIVERSE. REMIND YOURSELF AND ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT WITHIN YOU ARE A COMPLEX, MAGNIFICENTSTRUCTURE OF 7 OCTILLION ATOMS( 7 followed by 28 zeroes. instead think really, really big by reminding with electrons revolving around each of them that make up your body and mind and remind lize the immense intricacy and magnificence of nature with which so many atoms within you are onfigured to make up your cells been put together to make up muscles and tissues and collectively organs that build up systems and all these function harmoniously as a smooth functional body and mind that can possibly solve and create some of the largest man-made wonders of science, technology, medicine, philosophy, psychology, spirituality ,health & wellness related products and services. All of us are made up of the stuff of the stars(carbon, oxygen ,nitrogen and iron are the core elements which make up our bodies and these make up the planets, stars and galaxies too. Despite being marvels of nature within,all of us go about our seemingly petty, routine work with the perspective that the universe is not concerned about or not mindful of our presence .However such a perspective is just a self-limiting myth questioned by the other very rational point of view that the Universe itself exists because of us and for us and we individually, in body, mind and spirit, are as vast and complex as the Cosmos. In effect, the concept of the Universe creating all of us has been questioned by the theory that consciousness being an immortal presence manifests our lives and manifests all that exists in the physical world. Both in scientific and philosophical terms, the biological expansion of cells and expansion of energy creates and sustains the universe and multiverses, The scientific Anthropic theory is that the Universe is constructed in such a way to admit our existence. The Universe, as it exists, was designed with the goal of generating and sustaining participants. Discover your full potential: The Universe within you The universe of 100 trillion cells within you Everything is energy and is interconnected Consciousness, the building block of the universe We are the soul first and body second Aligning the body, mind and soul About the author Other books by the author INTRODUCTION Whenever you think of yourself as a person who is small and insignificant compared to the unending vastness and complexity of the planetary universe, stop yourself from negative thinking and instead think really, really big by reminding yourself that you, have 7 octillion (7 followed by 28 zeroes) atoms, with electrons revolving around each of them that make up your body and mind and remind lize the immense intricacy and magnificence of nature with which so many atoms within you are onfigured to make up your cells been put together to make up muscles and tissues and collectively organs that build up systems and all these function harmoniously as a smooth functional body and mind that can possibly solve and create some of the largest man-made wonders of science, technology, medicine, philosophy, psychology, spirituality ,health & wellness related products and services.

Book excerpt: India’s natural and cultural heritage—embodied in its rivers, lakes, and mountains—shapes the lives and beliefs of its people, preserving traditions through the ages. The rivers are venerated as sacred, with their waters believed to purify and heal. The lakes, often home to temples and shrines, serve as revered sites of pilgrimage and worship. The mountains are honored as the abodes of gods and goddesses, their peaks marked by ancient places of reverence. The profound beauty of journeys lies in their ability to enhance knowledge, deepen spiritual connections, and foster personal growth. They are transformative experiences that leave lasting impressions on the traveler’s soul, enriching lives and contributing to a more enlightened and interconnected world. As I reflect on my own journeys, I recognize that each step taken along these sacred paths has brought me closer to understanding the deeper truths of life. The divine experiences, the serene beauty of nature, and the timeless cultural heritage have all woven a rich tapestry of memories that will forever remain etched in my heart. Such journeys underscore the intrinsic value of travel—not merely as a means to explore new places, but as a pathway to deeper self-discovery and spiritual growth.

Book excerpt: 1st of 5 books in Ed's new cosmic theory series. TT rids us of Big Bang’s explosion origin. Today's current rendition of stars and solar systems make us believe cosmos is only 13.7 billion years old. TT shows cosmos as an ancient trillion-year entity recycled by black holes. Ever wondered why our cosmos is so gigantic, or why there are billions of stars, solar systems, and galaxies? Well, Trillion Theory (TT) takes the wrapper off of those ageless mysteries. TT theory illuminates our universe as never seen before. Seemingly, most universe secrets are extremely well hidden, making it difficult to know them. Thus, TT makes it a prime directive to dig far deeper than anyone else has ever dug to uncover these paramount secrets as to the age and operations of our cosmos. TT states that there is a very specific clever design of our cosmos, meant to keep us guessing about our well camouflaged universe. Many of these hidden secrets are so well cloaked that it is taking us eons to discover the truths. Trillion Theory states, "To uncover these cosmic truths, such as origin and age of our cosmos, it is imperative for astronomers to see inside of the structures known as black holes. T Theory shows how black holes hold the vital keys to unlocking discoveries as to how our cosmos came to exist." Therein, are you open to reading a new universe theory which TRUMPS the fraudulent Big Bang? Most definitely, Trillion Theory (TT) reverberates a new robust voice to cosmology theory. This theory book is the first in Canadian Ed Lukowich’s 5 book cosmology theory series. Trillion Theory, in search of the true origin of our cosmos, demolishes the explosion notions associated with any type of Big Bang origin, thereby negating the Big Bang as a theory. www.trillionist.com
