Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There’s no such thing as a free cruise in Cuban American author Teresa Dovalpage's addictively clever new Havana mystery. Cuban-born Mercedes Spivey and her American husband, Nolan, win a five-day cruise to Cuba. Although the circumstances surrounding the prize seem a little suspicious to Mercedes, Nolan’s current unemployment and their need to spice up their marriage make the decision a no-brainer. Once aboard, Mercedes is surprised to see two people she met through her ex-boyfriend Lorenzo: former University of Havana professor Selfa Segarra and down-on-his-luck Spanish writer Javier Jurado. Even stranger: they also received a free cruise. When Selfa disappears on their first day at sea, Mercedes and Javier begin to wonder if their presence on the cruise is more than coincidence. Mercedes confides her worries to her husband, but he convinces her that it’s all in her head. However, when Javier dies under mysterious circumstances after disembarking in Havana, and Nolan is nowhere to be found, Mercedes scrambles through the city looking for him, fearing her suspicions were correct all along.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Perseids is a book of poems whose central concern is the way in which memory, perception, and imagination act as lenses to "magnify" experience, creating a state of heightened observation and attention to detail. The book contains two central points around which the other poems are clustered. First, the "Meditations in the Voice of Robert Hooke," a series of two poems, take on the persona of the seventeenth-century microscopist and inventor Robert Hooke, who was the first person to document verbally and graphically the micro world made newly visible by the invention of the microscope. In these poems, Hooke wonders at the fineness of creation, and is moved to expressions of religious awe by the perfection in the forms of nature compared to those made by man. In the second poem in this series, Hooke recalls a summer day spent with his mother in their garden, and meditates on the especial vividness of her presence with him in his memory and imagination, despite her death many years before. The other poem most critical to the collection is the title poem, "The Perseids." A late twentieth century attempt to create a version of Wordsworth's "Tintern Abbey," this poem proceeds from a perspective common to several other poems in the collection: that of an airplane. This particular airplane is flying over the Long Island Sound at night, bringing the speaker of the poem home. Through the speaker's imagination and memory, the perspective of the poem shifts from the airplane itself to a moment during a childhood camping trip when she first saw the Perseid star showers with her family. The modes of vision and creativity involved in exploration and science form the main subjects and themes of this book, whose settings include a biology fieldwork session, the father's science classroom, and Linnaeus's Lapland explorations. Even poems not concerned explicitly with science, such as "Art and Archeology" and "The Zero at the Bone" (which concerns an exhibitionist) place and portray experience "under a microscope," rendering the landscape with scrupulous detail

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this era of high-tech instruments, meteor observing is the one facet of astr- omy that needs nothing more than your naked eye. Meteors can be easily seen without the aid of cameras, binoculars, or telescopes. Just ? nd a comfortable chair and lie back and watch for the surprises that await high above you. It is a great way to involve the family in science where everyone is active at the same time, not wa- ing to take turns at the eyepiece. The kids especially enjoy the hunt for “shooting stars,” oohing and ahing at each streak of light that crosses the sky. While gazing upwards, it is also a great way to get more familiar with the sky by learning the constellations and seeing if you can see the warrior among the stars of Orion or the scorpion among the stars of Scorpius. Until just recently, one could simply go outside and watch for meteors from his or her yard. Unfortunately, humankind’s fear of the dark and the widespread use of lighting as advertisement have lit the nighttime scene in urban areas so that only the brightest stars are visible. Serious meteor observing under such conditions is nearly impossible as the more numerous faint meteors are now lost in the glare of urban skies. Today, a serious meteor observing session entails organizing an outing to a country site where the stars can be seen in all their glory and meteors of all magnitudes can be viewed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a general audience interested in solving mysteries in art, history, and literature using the methods of science, 'forensic astronomy' is a thrilling new field of exploration. Astronomical calculations are the basis of the studies, which have the advantage of bringing to readers both evocative images and a better understanding of the skies. Weather facts, volcano studies, topography, tides, historical letters and diaries, famous paintings, military records, and the friendly assistance of experts in related fields add variety, depth, and interest to the work. The chosen topics are selected for their wide public recognition and intrigue, involving artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Edvard Munch, and Ansel Adams; historical events such as the Battle of Marathon, the death of Julius Caesar, the American Revolution, and World War II; and literary authors such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, Joyce, and Mary Shelley. This book sets out to answer these mysteries indicated with the means and expertise of astronomy, opening the door to a richer experience of human culture and its relationship with nature. Each subject is carefully analyzed. As an example using the study of sky paintings by Vincent van Gogh, the analytical method would include: - computer calculations of historical skies above France in the 19th century - finding and quoting the clues found in translations of original letters by Van Gogh - making site visits to France to determine the precise locations when Van Gogh set up his easel and what celestial objects are depicted. For each historical event influenced by astronomy, there would be a different kind of mystery to be solved. As an example: - How can the phase of the Moon and time of moonrise help to explain a turning point of the American Civil War - the fatal wounding of Stonewall Jackson at Chancellorsville in 1863? For each literary reference to astronomy, it was determined which celestial objects were being described and making an argument that the author is describing an actual event. For example, what was the date of the moonlit scene when Mary Shelley first had the idea for her novel “Frankenstein?” These and more fun riddles will enchant and delight the fan of art and astronomy.
