Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stamps and other postal documents are an attractive vehicle for presenting astronomy and its development. Written with expertise and great enthusiasm, this unique book offers a historical and philatelic survey of astronomy and some related topics on space exploration. It contains more than 1300 color reproductions of stamps relating to the history of astronomy, ranging from the earliest observations of the sky to modern research conducted with satellites and space probes. Featured are the astronomers and astrophysicists who contributed to this marvelous story – not only Ptolemy, Copernicus, Kepler, Newton, Herschel, and Einstein but also hundreds of other minor protagonists who played an important role in the development of this, the most ancient yet the most modern of all the sciences. The book also examines in depth the diverse areas which have contributed to the history of astronomy, including the instrumentation, the theories, and the observations. Many stamps illustrate the beauty and the mystery of celestial objects: galaxies, nebulae, stars, planets, satellites, comets, and minor celestial bodies.

Book excerpt: Close your eyes, and let the wind whisper secrets through the Makgadikgadi Pans, a salty expanse that shimmers like a forgotten ocean under the midday sun. Feel the earth vibrate beneath your feet as a herd of elephants thunders by, their trumpeting calls echoing across the vastness. Breathe deep, fill your lungs with the scent of sunbaked earth and acacia blossoms, a perfume intoxicating enough to make you swoon. But Botswana is more than just landscapes, my dear. It's a kaleidoscope of cultures, a vibrant tapestry woven from a thousand threads. Meet the Bushmen, the original artists of this land, their rock paintings whispering tales of gods and beasts. Share a laugh with the warm-hearted Basarwa, their joy as infectious as the rhythm of their drums. And don't be surprised if you find yourself swaying to the soulful melodies of the Makolobeng, their voices carrying on the breeze like desert spirits. And then there's the Okavango Delta, a jewel nestled in the heart of the desert. Imagine lush papyrus reeds bowing to the gentle current, hippos basking in the shallows like oversized watermelons, and a symphony of birdsong painting the air. It's a paradise painted in emerald and gold, a haven for creatures great and small, from flitting bee-eaters to lumbering crocodiles with eyes like molten gold. This, my friend, is just a glimpse, a whisper of the magic that awaits in Botswana. A land where adventure hides in every rustle of leaves, where serenity washes over you like the moonlight on the Okavango, and where stories dance on the wind like desert mirages. So, are you ready to lose yourself in the emerald embrace of the Delta, to track rhinos across the Kalahari sands, and to lose your heart to the rhythm of Botswana's beating soul? Come, then. Turn the page, and let the journey begin. I promise, Botswana will leave you breathless, sun-kissed, and yearning for more. And who knows, you might just find yourself writing your own chapter in this unforgettable tale.

Book excerpt: An extraordinary novel of love, friendship, and betrayal for admirers of Abraham Verghese and Edwidge Danticat Eleanor Morse’s rich and intimate portrait of Botswana, and of three people whose intertwined lives are at once tragic and remarkable, is an absorbing and deeply moving story. In apartheid South Africa in 1977, medical student Isaac Muthethe is forced to flee his country after witnessing a friend murdered by white members of the South African Defense Force. He is smuggled into Botswana, where he is hired as a gardener by a young American woman, Alice Mendelssohn, who has abandoned her Ph.D. studies to follow her husband to Africa. When Isaac goes missing and Alice goes searching for him, what she finds will change her life and inextricably bind her to this sunburned, beautiful land. Like the African terrain that Alice loves, Morse’s novel is alternately austere and lush, spare and lyrical. She is a writer of great and wide-ranging gifts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite having everything she could ask for, Janet Wilson couldn’t shake a sense of emptiness in her life—or her desire to return to the continent of her birth. After much back-and-forth, she and her husband reached an agreement: they would embark on a daring adventure, driving 25,000 miles across Africa. What they couldn’t anticipate then was how this trip would challenge almost every belief, opinion, and value they held. Over the course of their journey, Janet and her husband collided with the world and each other. There were tears and laughter. They shared thrilling highlights and challenges that forced them to negotiate and cooperate with one another. And after a heartbreaking tragedy and Janet’s arrest, they made critical decisions that transformed their relationship, bringing them to a level of trust and commitment they had never before experienced. Ultimately, this led them to a deeper understanding about their place in the world—and each other’s lives. A suspenseful and emotional true account that explores themes of love, commitment, resilience, and the power of forgiveness in the face of adversity, All You’ll See is Sky is a memoir of a woman’s transformation from brokenness to wholeness and a couple's transformation from breakdown to breakthrough.

Download or read book Botswana Time written by Will Randall and published by Abacus. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will Randall travels with a purpose, as well as an outrageous sense of fortune. In INDIAN SUMMER he found himself, by chance, having the extraordinary experience of helping slum schoolchildren put on a play to help save their school. In Botswana he was taken up by a headmaster to teach a class of six year olds at The River of Life school. They are football crazy and one of Will's jobs is to take them to play neighbouring (sometimes as much as 100 miles away) schools. Camping en-route or staying in farms and rural villages, often travelling by foot or dug-out punts, thousands of antelope, elephant, buffalo and zebra follow their progress. The sound of lions, leopards and hyenas become the soundtrack of their dreams. Against all the odds they find themselves preparing for the Grand Final of the season - the titanic clash with arch rivals, Victoria Falls Primary school. Both an endearing personal story and a travel book about a little-known but highly successful country, BOTSWANA TIME will win new fans for both Will Randall and the extraordinary country of Botswana.
