Adrian faces threats he is aware of; weak but numerous enemies that no one else would even think about challenging. He is not at all concerned because of a simple fact of life: if you know what's coming, the risk can be mitigated or avoided in its entirety. With his companions, new and old, along with the energy windfall from the hoppers, Adrian has the purchasing power and the fighting strength to make like light work of monsters that would otherwise be problematic.

Adrian and his companions continue their journey toward Melbourne. The pathway through the post-apocalypse landscape continues to be harrowing; as they travel, they run into dysfunctional towns that need their help, and they must find unorthodox solutions to defeat the monsters that plague the landscape, some of which are extinction-level threats.

The colonization of Mars began with vision and the power of science and money, but it didn't take long for greed to rear its ugly head. As the wonder of Mars turned ugly, the United Nations formed the Joint Academic Research and Development Organization (JARDO) and choose the world-renowned scientist Marvin Dryer to head it up. Dryer uses his influence at Harvard and MIT to assemble a team of the brightest young minds in science. Individually, they are all superstars, but together with a sentient AI cognate known as SAMI, they become a mighty force that wields unimaginable powers.~~~ “...

Waking up trapped in a tiny cell was not the outcome I expected when I led my men to a rescue mission. Though we didn’t allow aliens into our planet, we weren’t cruel enough to deny a cry for help that looked genuine. We had taken all the precautions we thought necessary, but we still fell into their trap. One minute we were home, the next we were prisoners inside this massive spaceship. Feeling helpless and frustrated, I wanted to burn the place down on the ground. But it was then when it hit me… the sweet, inebriant scent of her, of the one that was meant to be my mate…

In this eye-opening book, psychologist Jesse Bering argues that we are all sexual deviants on one level or another. He introduces us to the young woman who falls madly in love with the Eiffel Tower, a young man addicted to seductive sneezes, and a pair of deeply affectionate identical twins, among others. He challenges us to move beyond our attitudes towards "deviant" sex and consider the alternative: What would happen if we rise above our fears and revulsions and accept our true natures?

There's nothing like the issue of evolution to get under the skin of academics. Especially when those same academics are by chance or bad judgement deposited at a critical evolutionary turning point when one wrong move could have catastrophic results for the future. Unfortunately, in the hands of such an inept and cussed group of individuals, the sensitive issue of causality is, sadly, only likely to receive the same scant respect that they show to one another.

Der führende Astrophysiker Liam Jackson nimmt an einem Wissenschaftler-Austauschprogramm in Deutschland teil, als ihm ein Curveball von universellem Ausmaß zugeworfen wird. Flugzeuge fallen vom Himmel, Autos explodieren und seltsame Partikel regnen vom Himmel herab, während Monster aus dem Nichts auftauchen.

The Story of the Universe was inspired by a very old idea—that the universe is one river and that galaxies, stars, planets, and people are all whirls and eddies in the universal flow, arising in the universe as naturally as whirls and eddies arise in a fast-flowing river. The universe arose once upon a time in a place that created time and space. It spread in darkness like an exploding black hole until there was light. It was pure energy in pure symmetry—almost.

When a cosmic anomaly disrupts the championship baseball game between Earth and Mars, reclusive trillionair Xan Ruiz-Harlow takes the bold step of shifting the contest into an artificial "Infinite Plane" existing outside of normal space-time. Now the elite players of the Earth Raptors and Mars Thunderbolts must adapt to playing in a dimension where the laws of physics are constantly warped in bizarre ways - balls defying gravity, trajectories altering inexplicably, and the very fabric of reality threatening to unravel with each pitch. As the greatest stars from both worlds employ innovative...

DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. RICHARD DAWKINS explică felul în care natura și oamenii au învăţat să învingă forţa gravitaţiei și să se înalţe în zbor: de la legendarul Icar la splendida specie Argentavis magnificens, din păcate dispărută, de la fraţii Wright și Boeing 747 la libelula Tinkerbella nana și șoimul-călător. Dar cartea e în același timp despre avântul minţii, despre evadarea din banal, prin știinţă și imaginaţie. Cu ilustraţiile ei superbe și fascinante, reprezintă o colaborare unică între unul dintre cei mai mari oameni de știinţă și o artistă talentată. DESPRE AUTOR.

David A. Grandy's book moves from the scientific to the existential, from Einstein to Merleau-Ponty, from light as a phenomenon to light as that which is constitutive of reality. To measure the speed of light is to measure something about the way we are measured or blended into the cosmos, and that universal blending predetermines our measurement of light speed in favor of a universal or constant value.

Even if you think you have a handle on all things trivia, you're guaranteed a big surprise with Now I Know: Science.

Undercover Scientist Peter Bentley is fascinated by the science of the everyday, and in this eye-opening book, organised in the form of one of those days when everything falls apart, he probes into the reasons why mishaps occur, from sleeping through the alarm to making the bathwater overflow. As he does so he explains exactly what happens when you put metal in a microwave (the electric field inside the oven causes the metal to heat up like a light bulb filament).
