Book Synopsis This Erratic Planet by : Ian Niall Rankin
Download or read book This Erratic Planet written by Ian Niall Rankin and published by . This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Erratic Planet is a book of vital importance to the future of our species. Drawing on a staggering range of references across disciplines including geology, astronomy, archaeology and palaeontology, Ian Rankin outlines his radical ideas about the worlds past. Contrary to conventional scientific thinking , the evidence he has examined has convinced him that the history of our planet is not one of gradual change, as proposed by Darwin's theory of evolution, but a story of successive, yet systematic, global catastrophes. These have wiped almost all trace of previous civilisations from the face of the Earth. These catastrophes, known as pole shifts, derive from the unstable nature of the solar system, which is the subject of the book's second part. Ian Rankin takes issue with Newton's Theory of Gravity, deeming it inadequate to explain the unwavering motion of the planets over billions of years. Instead, he proposes a New Theory, in which the Sun is not the centre of the solar system, but is itself revolving around a Magnetic Centre, a black hole as yet undiscovered whose powerful magnetic pull opposes the constant push of the solar wind to the outer reaches of the system. This Erratic Planet will fascinate not only lovers of catastrophe theories, but also anyone open-minded enough to entertain radical ideas about the nature of the universe. Its ideas are so groundbreaking they deserve the widest possible attention.

Download or read book The Paranormal Phenomena written by Michael Hur and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-02-20 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Bible believing Christians a question should be asked. Does the Bible confirm the existence of paranormal realities as they pertain to UFOs, ghosts, ancient outer-space travel, teleportation, time travel, shadow governments, and more? The answer to that question is yes it does. However what are the Bible's teachings regarding these subjects? Are they, the same as what mainstream media, and new age teachers are telling us or could it be that the Bible gives a different, and largely untold explanation to what they are. In this book called The Paranormal Phenomena you will read, and discover various Bible passages from the King James Authorized English Bible itself as it reveals many realities of the supernatural, and the paranormal events of this world.

Download or read book Taming the Sun written by Varun Sivaram and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How solar could spark a clean-energy transition through transformative innovation—creative financing, revolutionary technologies, and flexible energy systems. Solar energy, once a niche application for a limited market, has become the cheapest and fastest-growing power source on earth. What's more, its potential is nearly limitless—every hour the sun beams down more energy than the world uses in a year. But in Taming the Sun, energy expert Varun Sivaram warns that the world is not yet equipped to harness erratic sunshine to meet most of its energy needs. And if solar's current surge peters out, prospects for replacing fossil fuels and averting catastrophic climate change will dim. Innovation can brighten those prospects, Sivaram explains, drawing on firsthand experience and original research spanning science, business, and government. Financial innovation is already enticing deep-pocketed investors to fund solar projects around the world, from the sunniest deserts to the poorest villages. Technological innovation could replace today's solar panels with coatings as cheap as paint and employ artificial photosynthesis to store intermittent sunshine as convenient fuels. And systemic innovation could add flexibility to the world's power grids and other energy systems so they can dependably channel the sun's unreliable energy. Unleashing all this innovation will require visionary public policy: funding researchers developing next-generation solar technologies, refashioning energy systems and economic markets, and putting together a diverse clean energy portfolio. Although solar can't power the planet by itself, it can be the centerpiece of a global clean energy revolution. A Council on Foreign Relations Book

Download or read book No Wax written by Delphi O. Gadfly and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pythia goes down the dark rabbit hole as she reawakens the capabilities of sensing and channeling spirits as a divine medium and opening a side to herself that she had never shared before. By and by, she faces her convictions of inherited mishaps that she had to heal and overcome, leading her to tell the tale of making it another day. Pythia shares how she dives into the practitioner skills of her psychic energy, tarot, mysticism, planet and zodiac interpretation, and her bumpy dating life as she finds what makes her tick. Despite her isolation from the world, she finds strength in solitude. Pythia finds the courage to share her visions, hang-ups, and findings as she uncovers the practical magic that she possesses. She gives a new take on life through the experiences and changes the course of her dimensions by helping others tell their story using the natal birth chart, synchronicities, and astrological communication that the Universe provides in front of our eyes and shows that we are all connected, and it influences us all. Pythia finds herself with the inner key within to help others through pain spurts of chronic illness and mental health challenges studying her own body and mind in a not-so-typical manner of dancing a fine line between sanity and faith. Above all else, a self-discovery that heals the inner child and a new love for oneself—perfectly made with imperfections and all, without wax.
Download or read book Eaarth written by Bill McKibben and published by Knopf Canada. This book was released on 2010-04-13 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling author of Deep Economy shows that we’re living on a fundamentally altered planet — and opens our eyes to the kind of change we’ll need in order to make our civilization endure. Twenty years ago, with The End of Nature, Bill McKibben offered one of the earliest warnings about global warming. Those warnings went mostly unheeded; now, he insists, we need to acknowledge that we’ve waited too long, and that massive change is not only unavoidable but already under way. Our old familiar globe is suddenly melting, drying, acidifying, flooding, and burning in ways that no human has ever seen. We’ve created, in very short order, a new planet, still recognizable but fundamentally different. We may as well call it Eaarth. That new planet is filled with new binds and traps. A changing world costs large sums to defend—think of the money that went to repair New Orleans, or the trillions of dollars it will take to transform our energy systems. But the endless economic growth that could underwrite such largesse depends on the stable planet we’ve managed to damage and degrade. We can’t rely on old habits any longer. Our hope depends, McKibben argues, on scaling back—on building the kind of societies and economies that can hunker down, concentrate on essentials, and create the type of community (in the neighborhood, but also on the Internet) that will allow us to weather trouble on an unprecedented scale. Change—fundamental change—is our best hope on a planet suddenly and violently out of balance.
Download or read book Secularism written by Mike King and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2007-11-29 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spirituality is a difficult subject in the modern world. Everywhere, from popular media to the university, from the bookshelf to the dinner table, religions are derided or marginalised and public figures, such as Richard Dawkins, set upon anyone who admits to a belief in God. It seems that science and religion are fundamentally at odds and that a mutual respect is unacceptable to either in their parallel pursuit of 'truth'. Yet the majority of Enlightenment authors engaged with both science and spirituality and did not lose their faith. Today we tend to see these authors as not having applied full scientific rigour to their religious beliefs, but are we correct in dismissing this aspect of their lives so easily? In Secularism, Mike King examines the elements of religion, philosophy and science which have contributed to an almost total disavowal of spirituality by contemporary western intellectuals. He engages with a wide range of thinkers, including Pythagoras, Marx, Spinoza, Darwin and Nietzsche, and incorporates detailed studies of a variety of 'spiritual' leaders, some of whom readers are unlikely to have considered in this way before, to uncover why the western world no longer has any interest in devotion or accords it any respect.

Book Synopsis Apocalyptic Planet by : Craig Childs
Download or read book Apocalyptic Planet written by Craig Childs and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2013 Orion Book Award Winner 2013 Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award Winner Ours is not a stable planet. It is prone to sudden, violent natural disasters and extremes of climate. In this exhilarating exploration of our globe, Craig Childs goes to where the apocalypse can be seen now. From the driest deserts of Chile, through the genetic wasteland of central Iowa, to the site of the drowned land bridge of the Bering Sea, he uncovers cataclysms that tell us what could be next: forthcoming ice ages, super volcanoes, and the conclusion of planetary life cycles. Childs delivers a sensual feast in his descriptions of the natural world, and undeniable science that reveals both the earth’s strengths and frailties. Bearing witness to the planet’s sweeping and perilous changes, he shows how we can alter the future, and how the world will live on, though humans may not survive to see it.
Book Synopsis From Dying Stars to the Birth of Life by : Jerry Cranford
Download or read book From Dying Stars to the Birth of Life written by Jerry Cranford and published by Nottingham University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in an informal manner, this account tells the incredible story of the birth of an entirely new field of science called Astrobiology—a field that is now investigating whether life might exist on other worlds. From the discovery that other stars in our galaxy are circled by planets to the detection of single-cell organisms found living on Earth in extremely hostile environments, this account details the recent breakthroughs made by astronomers and earth scientists over the last few decades. Based on these findings, it argues that scientists now have the technology they need to move from speculating or fantasizing about extraterrestrials to possibly providing mankind with the first definitive proof that we are not alone.
Book Synopsis the universe of Maxwell by : bernard piette
Download or read book the universe of Maxwell written by bernard piette and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-09-22 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes a surprising new cosmological theory and a fresh look at physics, with the creation of a new one, called "rational" and competing with the classical and official physics. New hypothesis on the ether, experimentally upheld in laboratory, completely changes the vision of the Universe and gives smart answers to many questions not yet solved: why the suns are in rotation, why planets are on the same plane, why they are so different, and many others. If the Theory of Relativity, the Big Bang and Quantum Physics seem odd to you, this book will explain to you why. If you don't like physics, you'll change your mind.
