Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intrigue and danger threaten two Renaissance astronomers in this historical novel of Galileo, Kepler, and their quest to understand the universe. At the dawn of the 17th century, it was believed that the Sun revolved around the Earth. Yet some men knew that the Heavens did not move as they should. They began to believe exactly the opposite, a heresy punishable by being burned alive. The Sky's Dark Labyrinth follows the stories of Johannes Kepler and Galileo Galilei—two men of science who pursue the light of truth into dark and dangerous territory. Kepler, a German Lutheran, was the first man to demonstrate how stars and planets moved according to mathematical laws. Galileo, an Italian Catholic, tries to claim Kepler's success for his own Church. Both men are soon enmeshed in a web of intrigue orchestrated by forces within the Vatican itself. The Sky's Dark Labyrinth is the first novel in a trilogy that explores the personal and professional struggles of these iconic figures.
Book Synopsis The Sensorium of God by : Stuart Clark
Download or read book The Sensorium of God written by Stuart Clark and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2012-02-02 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the late seventeenth century and still the movement of the planets remains a mystery despite the revolutionary work of Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei and Tycho Brahe almost a hundred years previously. Edmond Halley - dynamic adventurer and astronomer - seeks the help of Isaac Newton in unravelling the problem, but though obsessed with understanding the orbits of the planets, Newton has problems of his own which could undermine the essential work. The reclusive mathematician and alchemist has a guilty secret. He stole some of his ideas from Robert Hooke, and the quarrelsome experimentalist is demanding recognition. While capable of the loftiest ideals and theorising, the three men are just as quick to bicker and hold petty grudges which could derail scientific advancement. The men's lives and work clash as Europe is pushed headlong towards the Age of the Enlightenment and science is catapulted into its next seismic collision with religion.
Book Synopsis The Day Without Yesterday by : Stuart Clark
Download or read book The Day Without Yesterday written by Stuart Clark and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2013-02-07 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe is marching blindly into the First World War and Berlin is in a storm of nationalist marches and army recruitment. Albert Einstein anticipates the carnage to come when his university colleagues begin work on poison gas to 'shorten the war'. He is also struggling with the collapse of his marriage in the wake of an illicit affair. Increasingly isolated, Einstein finds his academic work sidelined with few people entertaining his outlandish new way of understanding the universe. Meanwhile, in the trenches of the western front, a devoutly religious young Belgian Georges Lemaitre vows to become both a physicist and a Catholic priest if he survives. When the war ends, Einstein does make his breakthrough and is thrust into the international limelight. Lemaitre confronts him with a startling concept: that buried in the maths of the theory of relativity is a beginning of space and time, a moment when the universe came into existence - a day without yesterday. But can the priest be trusted? Or is he simply trying to foist a version of Biblical Genesis onto Einstein's now world famous theory.

The book features instructions for creating indoor and outdoor labyrinths; rituals to nourish fertility, confront and resolve conflict, honor grief or loss, and celebrate new beginnings; and resources for locating labyrinths around the world. Filled with personal anecdotes and a detailed exploration of labyrinth history and mythology, this complete handbook is a deeply spiritual guide to the meditative, intuitive, and creative power of this age-old symbol.
