Book excerpt: Are humans a galactic oddity, or will complex life with human abilities develop on planets with environments that remain habitable for long enough? In a clear, jargon-free style, two leading researchers in the burgeoning field of astrobiology critically examine the major evolutionary steps that led us from the distant origins of life to the technologically advanced species we are today. Are the key events that took life from simple cells to astronauts unique occurrences that would be unlikely to occur on other planets? By focusing on what life does - it's functional abilities - rather than specific biochemistry or anatomy, the authors provide plausible answers to this question. Systematically exploring the various pathways that led to the complex biosphere we experience on planet Earth, they show that most of the steps along that path are likely to occur on any world hosting life, with only two exceptions: One is the origin of life itself – if this is a highly improbable event, then we live in a rather “empty universe”. However, if this isn’t the case, we inevitably live in a universe containing a myriad of planets hosting complex as well as microbial life - a “cosmic zoo”. The other unknown is the rise of technologically advanced beings, as exemplified on Earth by humans. Only one technological species has emerged in the roughly 4 billion years life has existed on Earth, and we don’t know of any other technological species elsewhere. If technological intelligence is a rare, almost unique feature of Earth's history, then there can be no visitors to the cosmic zoo other than ourselves. Schulze-Makuch and Bains take the reader through the history of life on Earth, laying out a consistent and straightforward framework for understanding why we should think that advanced, complex life exists on planets other than Earth. They provide a unique perspective on the question that puzzled the human species for centuries: are we alone?

Book excerpt: DISCOVER HOW LIFE REALLY WORKS - ON EARTH AND IN SPACE 'A wonderfully insightful sidelong look at Earthly biology' Richard Dawkins 'Crawls with curious facts' Sunday Times _________________________ We are unprepared for the greatest discovery of modern science. Scientists are confident that there is alien life across the universe yet we have not moved beyond our perception of 'aliens' as Hollywood stereotypes. The time has come to abandon our fixation on alien monsters and place our expectations on solid scientific footing. Using his own expert understanding of life on Earth and Darwin's theory of evolution - which applies throughout the universe - Cambridge zoologist Dr Arik Kershenbaum explains what alien life must be like. This is the story of how life really works, on Earth and in space. _________________________ 'An entertaining, eye-opening and, above all, a hopeful view of what - or who - might be out there in the cosmos' Philip Ball, author of Nature's Patterns 'A fascinating insight into the deepest of questions: what might an alien actually look like' Lewis Dartnell, author of Origins 'If you don't want to be surprised by extraterrestrial life, look no further than this lively overview of the laws of evolution that have produced life on earth' Frans de Waal, author of Mama's Last Hug

Featuring the most bizarre galaxies, stars, planets, and other weirdos of all colors and shapes. The information contained is updated as of September 2020. The infographic and artistic work on the cover depicts the entire observable universe crammed into one field of view. It was assembled by Pablo Carlos Budassi by combining logarithmic maps of the universe from Princeton University and images from NASA. In 2016 this work went viral among astronomy fans and from there, it was featured in numerous publications and science museums including NASA apod, Dumont World Atlas, Sciences et Avenir, MTV, Discover Magazine, Philosophy Now, Forbes, WNDR Museum Chicago, WeCurious Museum in Bristol. Using this graphic as a map and the accumulated knowledge of 400 years of modern astronomy, we will spend a couple of minutes in each known world and if we come out alive, we will have the most up-to-date knowledge about the celestial wildlife and maybe, in the next trip, we can be the tour guides ourselves.This listing is for the larger (Photographic Book) version of the Universe Guidebook.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The formation and evolution of galaxies is one of the most important topics in modern astrophysics. Secular evolution refers to the relatively slow dynamical evolution due to internal processes induced by a galaxy's spiral arms, bars, galactic winds, black holes and dark matter haloes. It plays an important role in the evolution of spiral galaxies with major consequences for galactic bulges, the transfer of angular momentum, and the distribution of a galaxy's constituent stars, gas and dust. This internal evolution is in turn the key to understanding and testing cosmological models of galaxy formation and evolution. Based on the twenty-third Winter School of the Canary Islands Institute of Astrophysics, this volume presents reviews from nine world-renowned experts on the observational and theoretical research into secular processes, and what these processes can tell us about the structure and formation of galaxies. The volume provides a firm grounding for graduate students and early career researchers working on galactic dynamics and galaxy evolution.

In The Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion-in just four centuries' time. The aliens' human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth's defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy. Only the human mind remains a secret. This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a daring plan that grants four men enormous resources to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from Earth and Trisolaris alike. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown. Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer and sociologist, is baffled by his new status. All he knows is that he's the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead.

Tilly doesn't believe in aliens. At least, she didn't, until she gets abducted along with half the animals of her zoo. When you and your rhino are stuck in a cage on a spaceship, it's hard not to believe. One of them, an elf-eared female, seems ready to help her find a way back to Earth, but is that really what Tilly wants? Bavalla's messed up big time. She wasn't supposed to abduct a sentient being, but now that she's face to face with a female who's not only intelligent but also very attractive, she has to figure out what to do. Telling the Captain would result in severe punishment, but how do you hide a human who's very intent on saving not just herself, but all her animals as well? A fast-paced f/f romance with a strong human woman and a swoon-worthy alien female willing to give up everything for her mate. Part of the Aliens and Animals series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A grand tour of our dynamic home galaxy This book offers an intimate guide to the Milky Way, taking readers on a grand tour of our home Galaxy's structure, genesis, and evolution, based on the latest astronomical findings. In engaging language, it tells how the Milky Way congealed from blobs of gas and dark matter into a spinning starry abode brimming with diverse planetary systems—some of which may be hosting myriad life forms and perhaps even other technologically communicative species. William Waller vividly describes the Milky Way as it appears in the night sky, acquainting readers with its key components and telling the history of our changing galactic perceptions. The ancients believed the Milky Way was a home for the gods. Today we know it is but one galaxy among billions of others in the observable universe. Within the Milky Way, ground-based and space-borne telescopes have revealed that our Solar System is not alone. Hundreds of other planetary systems share our tiny part of the vast Galaxy. We reside within a galactic ecosystem that is driven by the theatrics of the most massive stars as they blaze through their brilliant lives and dramatic deaths. Similarly effervescent ecosystems of hot young stars and fluorescing nebulae delineate the graceful spiral arms in our Galaxy's swirling disk. Beyond the disk, the spheroidal halo hosts the ponderous—and still mysterious—dark matter that outweighs everything else. Another dark mystery lurks deep in the heart of the Milky Way, where a supermassive black hole has produced bizarre phenomena seen at multiple wavelengths. Waller makes the case that our very existence is inextricably linked to the Galaxy that spawned us. Through this book, readers can become well-informed galactic "insiders"—ready to imagine humanity's next steps as fully engaged citizens of the Milky Way.

This book was released on 2018-03-30 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: COVENANTS - Book Four of the Who's Who in the Cosmic Zoo? series, A Guide to ETs, Aliens, gods and Angels, discusses the impact Disclosure of Alien and Extraterrestrial Life will have on Religion and the Church. It connects the dots to ancient history and End Times Prophesies, while exposing many heresies and cover-ups along the way. It discerns between actual historical facts from the lies that were spun to purport political agendas of mind control. The disclosure of the alien presence and extraterrestrial life here on earth need not shatter anyone's faith in the Creator God, on the contrary it should expand and strengthen it. This book is a guide towards transforming the old paradigm into preparation for the final chapter of End Times Prophesies, so earth humans can walk through it awakened and restored back into right relationship with the Creator God while being empowered with the knowledge to identify the cast of characters that have long been prophesied to play out the End Game of the end of this Age. This Earth is where Heaven and Hell meet, sandwiched between two kingdoms with clashing ideologies, the middle ground of an extraterrestrial and spiritual war. COVENANTS discerns and unpacks the spiritual legal ground established between the clash of these two kingdoms on earth. A covenant is an agreement, or contract, undertaken between two or more individuals, with each understanding the terms. We have forgotten some of the terms under which we covenant with our Creator while living on earth. We can see evidence of this clash of two kingdoms through human behavior, thoughts, and spirits. It is our destiny to exercise our free will as to which kingdom we belong: The Draconian Kingdom of Darkness and Enslavement, or the Kingdom of Heaven of Light, Love and Grace. COVENANTS lances the boils of racism and anti-Semitism on our planet, by addressing the root causes of our inability to live in peace and cooperation with each other. Book Four exposes the alien agenda for what it is, and how it all fits into the ancient End Times Prophecies written down over two to three thousand years ago. Many people suffer from depression, and hopelessness about the meaning of life. There are approximately 3 billion Christians in the world, and most of them have been put under a powerful spell through the Church of Rome's indoctrination, not to question anything. It's time to question everything and discern truth from lies within the Hebrew Scriptures. Too many people have suffered unnecessarily because of the cover ups of these truths. The truths the author discloses herein, takes you on a journey through history, ancient scriptures, exopolitics and whistleblowers, proving the roots of racism, prejudice, and social injustices began with the ancient aliens' battle of their genetic warfare over humankind. The author also points you towards the direction for the solution, a solution that is offered to all of humankind at this time, and is therefore, without prejudice, but is waiting for you to claim.
