Book excerpt: The earliest humans must have looked at the night sky with awe and wonder and seen their myths and gods there. Eventually patterns of behaviour would be detected by day, month and year, and gradually the idea grew that perhaps those points of light were real things that could be understood. And one question has persisted - how big is the world we live in? In the beginning Earth was down here and the rest was "other" and "up there". Then the Solar System was the world, with the stars forming a decorative backdrop. Then the Milky Way became everything, populated with stars and nebulae, with nothing outside. Then it became clear that some of the nebulae were outside and "Milky Ways" (translated via Latin into galaxies) in their own right. And then the idea developed of an understandable, all embracing Universe, filled with galaxies and changing with time.But the big question remained - how big is the Earth? The Solar System? The Milky Way? The Universe? How those questions were eventually answered is the journey this book takes you on. It has been a long journey and taken a long time and many people of many nationalities have worked to plot the route. And it isn't finished yet!This is one of the great stories of human endeavour that all people should be aware of.

Download or read book The Sky Is Not the Limit written by Neil deGrasse Tyson and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2010-03-19 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of Astrophysics for People in a Hurry and the host of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, a memoir about growing up and a young man's budding scientific curiosity. This is the absorbing story of Neil deGrasse Tyson’s lifelong fascination with the night sky, a restless wonder that began some thirty years ago on the roof of his Bronx apartment building and eventually led him to become the director of the Hayden Planetarium. A unique chronicle of a young man who at one time was both nerd and jock, Tyson’s memoir could well inspire other similarly curious youngsters to pursue their dreams. Like many athletic kids he played baseball, won medals in track and swimming, and was captain of his high school wrestling team. But at the same time he was setting up a telescope on winter nights, taking an advanced astronomy course at the Hayden Planetarium, and spending a summer vacation at an astronomy camp in the Mojave Desert. Eventually, his scientific curiosity prevailed, and he went on to graduate in physics from Harvard and to earn a Ph.D. in astrophysics from Columbia. There followed postdoctoral research at Princeton. In 1996, he became the director of the Hayden Planetarium, where some twenty-five years earlier he had been awed by the spectacular vista in the sky theater. Tyson pays tribute to the key teachers and mentors who recognized his precocious interests and abilities, and helped him succeed. He intersperses personal reminiscences with thoughts on scientific literacy, careful science vs. media hype, the possibility that a meteor could someday hit the Earth, dealing with society’s racial stereotypes, what science can and cannot say about the existence of God, and many other interesting insights about science, society, and the nature of the universe. Now available in paperback with a new preface and other additions, this engaging memoir will enlighten and inspire an appreciation of astronomy and the wonders of our universe.

Book excerpt: "[This book] explores the oldest and most important controversy in space law: how far up does national airspace go, and where does the international environment of outer space begin? Even though nations did not object to the first satellites flying over their sovereign territory, after more than six decades there is still no international agreement on how low the right of space object overflight extends, nor are there agreed legal definitions of 'space object' and 'space activity.' [The author]...offers a draft international convention to settle the oldest and most intractable problems in space law."--

Bare feet shouldn't fly. Long legs shouldn't spin. Braids shouldn't flap in the wind. 'Sit on the porch and be a lady,' Papa scolded Alice. In Alice's Georgia hometown, there was no track where an African-American girl could practice, so she made her own crossbar with sticks and rags. With the support of her coach, friends, and community, Alice started to win medals. Her dream to compete at the Olympics came true in 1948. This is an inspiring free-verse story of the first African-American woman to win an Olympic gold medal. Photos of Alice Coachman are also included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern history unearthed as a boy becomes an innocent victim of corruption in Bolivia's crime world, where the power of family is both a prison and a means of survival. It's 1999 in Bolivia and Francisco's life consists of school, soccer, and trying to find space for himself in his family's cramped yet boisterous home. But when his father is arrested on false charges and sent to prison by a corrupt system that targets the uneducated, the poor, and the indigenous majority, Francisco and his sister are left with no choice: They must move into prison with their father. There, they find a world unlike anything they've ever known, where everything—a door, a mattress, protection from other inmates—has its price. Prison life is dirty, dire, and dehumanizing. With their lives upended, Francisco faces an impossible decision: Break up the family and take his sister to their grandparents in the Andean highlands, fleeing the city and the future within his grasp, or remain together in the increasingly dangerous prison. Pulled between two undesirable options, Francisco must confront everything he once believed about the world and his place within it. In this heart-wrenching novel, Melanie Crowder sheds light on a little-known era of modern South American history—where injustice still looms large—and proves that hope can be found, even in the most desperate places. Perfect for fans of Ruta Sepetys, Matt de la Pena, and Jacqueline Woodson.

Book excerpt: From sea level to outer space, there is about 100,000 meters in height. This section is what we usually call the "sky". The height range that ordinary humans move within daily is usually limited to less than 100 meters. Compared to the highest mountain of 8,848 meters on earth, and the sky, which is 100,000 meters, we humans technically move on a plane. Even with human footprints all over the world, the understanding and use of the sky is less than 0.1%. Even when we are on an airplane, we merely quickly pass through about 10%. Gazing at and exploring the sky are our next goals. Now, follow our lead to explore this mysterious realm! First of all, let′s start from 1 meter above sea level...
