Now, to space!’ – Hannah Fry ‘Few people are more knowledgeable, celebratory and witty about space travel than Dallas Campbell.’ – Adam Rutherford Need some space? For almost all human history we’ve been firmly rooted to the Earth. And, sure, it's got some good things going for it: nice views, friendly inhabitants, good coffee. Air. But what if you want to get off? Whether you've got itchy feet and need a bit of a break, or you’re looking for a complete change of scene, this book has all the information you'll need to leave, with FREE expert advice from the men and woman who can actually make it happen. Do I need a passport? How do I know if I have the right stuff? Can I take my dog? What spacesuit do I need? Where am I going to go? What am I going to eat? As well as being a deeply impractical guide to getting off the planet, this is an eclectic and beautifully illustrated mix-tape of space travel stories – both real and imagined. From the migrating lunar geese that flew us to the moon in the 1600’s, to Elon Musk’s wild plan to get humans to Mars en masse in the future; from the history of early rocket science to the Soviet tortoises that secretly won the space race. A collection for anyone who has looked up in wonder at the stars... And then wondered how to get there. ‘The next best thing to actually heading off into space.’ – Jim Al-Khalili ‘Few people are more knowledgeable, celebratory and witty about space travel than Dallas Campbell.’ – Adam Rutherford ‘If, like me, you dream of going into space, this is definitely the place to start the journey.’ – Dan Snow ‘A must have volume for astronauts and armchair astronauts alike.’ – Helen Sharman OBE ‘Funny, factual and beautiful.’ – Shaun Keavney ‘Read it, make notes, and be ready when the day comes.’ – Helen Czerski
Book Synopsis The Little Blue Room by : Pauline Raphaela
Download or read book The Little Blue Room written by Pauline Raphaela and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2022-10-07 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who am I? Why am I here? To discover, through awakening, your unlimited potential and the extraordinarily divine life you are meant to live. Like most people, Pauline Raphaela had a plan for the fulfillment of her life, until a mystical presence began to steer her in an unusual, yet exciting direction. In The Little Blue Room, Pauline invites you into her own sacred journey of awakening. Amidst crises, illness, revelation and surrender, distinguishing the shadow-self from the authentic Soul, Pauline discovers her truth. She shares mystical experiences, revealing how we are guided to our Soul’s destiny, when we are courageous enough to follow. Pauline gently mentors how to deeply heal your life, including ancestral patterns, to awaken your innate greatness. The courage to awaken to your truth, to Soul love, joy, freedom and power, is already within you. “Well-written and inspiring . . . a must-read for anyone who wishes to awaken their Soul—more than a memoir, more than a self-help book. Pauline is an exuberant storyteller, who takes you on a spiritual journey that will transform your life.” — Cindi Sansone-Braff, The Romance Whisperer, author of Grant Me a Higher Love and other titles. “Drawing from dramatic episodes and compelling insights in her life, Pauline shows how the Soul tries to awaken at critical times. What we need now is not a minor repair, but a major transformation of the world that can only start with the awakening of the individual Soul.” — Lynn Van Praagh-Gratton author of Divine Dimes and other titles.
Book Synopsis The Value of the Moon by : Paul D. Spudis
Download or read book The Value of the Moon written by Paul D. Spudis and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the Moon was once thought to hold the key to space exploration, in recent decades, the U.S. has largely turned its sights toward Mars and other celestial bodies instead. In The Value of the Moon, lunar scientist Paul Spudis argues that the U.S. can and should return to the moon in order to remain a world leader in space utilization and development and a participant in and beneficiary of a new lunar economy. Spudis explores three reasons for returning to the Moon: it is close, it is interesting, and it is useful. The proximity of the Moon not only allows for frequent launches, but also control of any machinery we place there. It is interesting because recorded deep on its surface and in its craters is the preserved history of the moon, the sun, and indeed the entire galaxy. And finally, the moon is useful because it is rich with materials and energy. The moon, Spudis argues, is a logical base for further space exploration and even a possible future home for us all. Throughout his work, Spudis incorporates details about man's fascination with the moon and its place in our shared history. He also explores its religious, cultural, and scientific resonance and assesses its role in the future of spaceflight and our national security and prosperity.
Book Synopsis PALMISTRY - The Mystery of Destiny by : Sunita Chabra
Download or read book PALMISTRY - The Mystery of Destiny written by Sunita Chabra and published by One Point Six Technology Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Palmistry is the cryptic code of life. A soul takes birth with his/her manual of destiny written on the hand. What an intriguing thought! Though we do not remember our past births, probably due to karmic amnesia, our brains store this information, in addition to the blueprint of our present lives. According to proven scientific theory, nerves carry messages from the brain to the hands. Palmistry believes that the nerves also carry the cryptic code of our destiny from the brain to the hands. Palmistry can trace its roots back to ancient India. The first section of this volume tells us how to interpret lines and signs on the palm using Hindu palmistry. Some of the ancient signs that are included here, appear for the first time in any book published on the subject. The second section is devoted to outlining the destiny paths of the rich and famous: Barrack obama, Vladmir Putin, Albert Einstein, Sonia Gandhi, Michael Jackson, Prince Charles, Nicole Kidman, Benazir Bhutto and Hillary Clinton. This book includes spiritual messages to help us understand the larger picture and move towards peace and happiness in the journey of life.

Book Synopsis Life Between the Tides by : Adam Nicolson
Download or read book Life Between the Tides written by Adam Nicolson and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adam Nicolson explores the marine life inhabiting seashore rockpools with a scientist’s curiosity and a poet’s wonder in this beautifully illustrated book. The sea is not made of water. Creatures are its genes. Look down as you crouch over the shallows and you will find a periwinkle or a prawn, a claw-displaying crab or a cluster of anemones ready to meet you. No need for binoculars or special stalking skills: go to the rocks and the living will say hello. Inside each rock pool tucked into one of the infinite crevices of the tidal coastline lies a rippling, silent, unknowable universe. Below the stillness of the surface course different currents of endless motion—the ebb and flow of the tide, the steady forward propulsion of the passage of time, and the tiny lifetimes of the rock pool’s creatures, all of which coalesce into the grand narrative of evolution. In Life Between the Tides, Adam Nicolson investigates one of the most revelatory habitats on earth. Under his microscope, we see a prawn’s head become a medieval helmet and a group of “winkles” transform into a Dickensian social scene, with mollusks munching on Stilton and glancing at their pocket watches. Or, rather, is a winkle more like Achilles, an ancient hero, throwing himself toward death for the sake of glory? For Nicolson, who writes “with scientific rigor and a poet’s sense of wonder” (The American Scholar), the world of the rock pools is infinite and as intricate as our own. As Nicolson journeys between the tides, both in the pools he builds along the coast of Scotland and through the timeline of scientific discovery, he is accompanied by great thinkers—no one can escape the pull of the sea. We meet Virginia Woolf and her Waves; a young T. S. Eliot peering into his own rock pool in Massachusetts; even Nicolson’s father-in-law, a classical scholar who would hunt for amethysts along the shoreline, his mind on Heraclitus and the other philosophers of ancient Greece. And, of course, scientists populate the pages; not only their discoveries, but also their doubts and errors, their moments of quiet observation and their thrilling realizations. Everything is within the rock pools, where you can look beyond your own reflection and find the miraculous an inch beneath your nose. “The soul wants to be wet,” Heraclitus said in Ephesus twenty-five hundred years ago. This marvelous book demonstrates why it is so. Includes Color and Black-and-White Photographs

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Giovanni Bignami, the outstanding Italian scientist and astronomer, takes the reader on a journey through the “seven spheres”, from our own planet to neighboring stars. The author offers a gripping account of the evolution of Homo Sapiens to the stage where our species is developing capabilities, in the form of new energy propulsion systems, that will enable us to conquer space. The reader will learn how we first expanded our activities to reach beyond our planet, to the Moon, and how nuclear energy, nuclear fusion, and matter–antimatter annihilation will enable us to extend our exploration. After Mars and Jupiter we shall finally reach the nearest stars, which we now know are surrounded by numerous planets, some of which are bound to be habitable. The book includes enticing descriptions of such newly discovered planets and also brings alive key historical characters in our story, such as Jules Verne and Werner von Braun.

Book excerpt: With a New Afterword "Our knowledge of fundamental physics contains not one fruitful idea that does not carry the name of Murray Gell-Mann."--Richard Feynman Acclaimed science writer George Johnson brings his formidable reporting skills to the first biography of Nobel Prize-winner Murray Gell-Mann, the brilliant, irascible man who revolutionized modern particle physics with his models of the quark and the Eightfold Way. Born into a Jewish immigrant family on New York's East 14th Street, Gell-Mann's prodigious talent was evident from an early age--he entered Yale at 15, completed his Ph.D. at 21, and was soon identifying the structures of the world's smallest components and illuminating the elegant symmetries of the universe. Beautifully balanced in its portrayal of an extraordinary and difficult man, interpreting the concepts of advanced physics with scrupulous clarity and simplicity, Strange Beauty is a tour-de-force of both science writing and biography.
