Book excerpt: “Impey combines the vision of a practicing scientist with the voice of a gifted storyteller.”—Dava Sobel In this vibrant, eye-opening tour of milestones in the history of our universe, Chris Impey guides us through space and time, leading us from the familiar sights of the night sky to the dazzlingly strange aftermath of the Big Bang. What if we could look into space and see not only our place in the universe but also how we came to be here? As it happens, we can. Because it takes time for light to travel, we see more and more distant regions of the universe as they were in the successively greater past. Impey uses this concept—"look-back time"—to take us on an intergalactic tour that is simultaneously out in space and back in time. Performing a type of cosmic archaeology, Impey brilliantly describes the astronomical clues that scientists have used to solve fascinating mysteries about the origins and development of our universe. The milestones on this journey range from the nearby to the remote: we travel from the Moon, Jupiter, and the black hole at the heart of our galaxy all the way to the first star, the first ray of light, and even the strange, roiling conditions of the infant universe, an intense and volatile environment in which matter was created from pure energy. Impey gives us breathtaking visual descriptions and also explains what each landmark can reveal about the universe and its history. His lucid, wonderfully engaging scientific discussions bring us to the brink of modern cosmology and physics, illuminating such mind-bending concepts as invisible dimensions, timelessness, and multiple universes. A dynamic and unforgettable portrait of the cosmos, How It Began will reward its readers with a deeper understanding of the universe we inhabit as well as a renewed sense of wonder at its beauty and mystery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's a whole universe out there... Imagine you had a spacecraft capable of travelling through interstellar space. You climb in, blast into orbit, fly out of the solar system and keep going. Where do you end up, and what do you see along the way? The answer is: mostly nothing. Space is astonishingly, mind-blowingly empty. As you travel through the void between galaxies your spaceship encounters nothing more exciting than the odd hydrogen molecule. But when it does come across something more exotic: wow! First and most obviously, stars and planets. Some are familiar from our own backyard: yellow suns, rocky planets like Mars, gas and ice giants like Jupiter and Neptune. But there are many more: giant stars, red and white dwarfs, super-earths and hot Jupiters. Elsewhere are swirling clouds of dust giving birth to stars, and infinitely dense regions of space-time called black holes. These clump together in the star clusters we call galaxies, and the clusters of galaxies we call... galaxy clusters. And that is just the start. As we travel further we encounter ever more weird, wonderful and dangerous entities: supernovas, supermassive black holes, quasars, pulsars, neutron stars, black dwarfs, quark stars, gamma ray bursts and cosmic strings. A Journey Through The Universe is a grand tour of the most amazing celestial objects and how they fit together to build the cosmos. As for the end of the journey - nobody knows. But getting there will be fun.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover Vulcan’s geography and customs in this illustrated travel guide that “takes readers on an extensive tour of the Federation’s most logical planet” (Entertainment Weekly). Plan your next trip to the planet Vulcan! Find restaurants that serve the best fried sandworms and Vulcan port. Take a trip to the Fire Plains or experience spring break at the Voroth Sea. Learn all about the native people of Spock’s home planet and their unusual customs. Discover how to correctly perform the traditional Vulcan salutation (you really don’t want to get this wrong). Learn key Vulcan phrases such as Nam-tor puyan-tvi-shal wilat: “Where is your restroom?” Find out what to do if you suddenly find yourself host to a katra—a Vulcan’s living spirit—at an inconvenient moment. All this and more can be found within the pages of this essential travel guide to one of the most popular—and logical—destinations in the known universe. “Noted Star Trek novelist Dayton Ward wrote Star Trek: A Travel Guide to Vulcan, and the book hilariously refuses to break character even when it describes the way that visitors to this world might be drawn into a conflict over a Vulcan arranged marriage.” —Nerdist

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have ever wondered about space travel, now you have the opportunity to understand it more fully than ever before. Traveling into space and even emigrating to nearby worlds may soon become part of the human experience. Scientists, engineers, and investors are working hard to make space tourism and colonization a reality. As astronauts can attest, extraterrestrial travel is incomparably thrilling. To make the most of the experience requires serious physical and mental adaptations in virtually every aspect of life, from eating to intimacy. Everyone who goes into space sees Earth and life on it from a profoundly different perspective than they had before liftoff. Astronomer and former NASA/ASEE scientist Neil F. Comins has written the go-to book for anyone interested in space exploration. He describes the wonders that travelers will encounter—weightlessness, unparalleled views of Earth and the cosmos, and the opportunity to walk on another world—as well as the dangers: radiation, projectiles, unbreathable atmospheres, and potential equipment failures. He also provides insights into specific trips to destinations including suborbital flights, space stations, the Moon, asteroids, comets, and Mars—the top candidate for colonization. Although many challenges are technical, Comins outlines them in clear language for all readers. He synthesizes key issues and cutting-edge research in astronomy, physics, biology, psychology, and sociology to create a complete manual for the ultimate voyage.

Book excerpt: The Map of the Universe: A Traveler’s Guide is being published in connection with another of author Dee Weldon Bird’s books, Connecting to Life’s Compass – You’re not lost you just think you are, which introduced Earth’s past history and why we are here. The Map of the Universe explains why so many changes are occurring on Earth and in our lives personally, often called a shift or a new paradigm. Are you ready to remember the knowledge of the universe and what it means to have a soul? These remarkable books represent your own traveler’s guide to the universe, with valuable information to understand not only the past and present, but a bigger picture of the future. You will remember who you are not just physically, but infinitely. The author’s newly published booklet Soul Disclosure: 100% Access also presents an overview into the future, and at the same time looks back at life on Planet Earth, and at the collective whole in the present. The three publications continue the journey of sharing the universe in all its wisdom and knowledge, although each book can be read individually. But when pieced together, they show the bigger picture of our connection to the universe.

This book was released on 2017-08-13 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book covers the before, during, and after Our Universe. It goes beyond the mathematical "singularity" at creation of our Universe where Einstein's equations fail and give "infinity." This book explains what existed before this singularity, before our Universe, and before the Big Bang - when many physicists believe Time and Space did not exist. It explains how the "Big Bang" was created and then created our Universe. It explains what will exist after our Universe has disappeared. There are numerous models of our Universe's origin and there is controversy even among the most learned and esteemed scientists. However, this book is based on Stephen Hawking's theory that Black Holes radiate Virtual Particles. This book explains how our Universe will began and will end in empty space where Time and Space exist. Hawking is scheduled to publish a new video in Summer 2018 to reflect his latest theory of the role the existence of Time, Space, and Virtual Particles play in creating and ending our Universe. This book strives to be consistent with his expected approach.
