  Eyes in the Sky - Space...

  Over 50 years ago, astronomers launched the world's first orbiting telescope. This allowed them to gaze further into outer space and examine anything that appears in the sky above our heads, from comets and planets to galaxy clusters and stars. Since then, almost 100 space telescopes have been launched from Earth and are orbiting our planet, with 26 still active and relaying information back to us. 
   
  As a result of these space-based instruments, such as NASA's iconic Hubble Space Telescope, we know much more about the universe than we did half a century ago. But why is Hubble, orbiting just 540 kilometres above the Earth, so much more effective than a ground-based telescope? How can a glorified camera tell us not only what distant objects look like, but their detailed chemical composition and three-dimensional structure as well? 
   
  In Eyes in the Sky, science writer Andrew May takes us on a journey into space to answer these questions and more. Looking at the development of revolutionary instruments, such as Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope, May explores how such technology has helped us understand the evolution of the Universe.

  Book 2: Brain Training - As we all know, we only use a small portion of our brain, and just like muscles in other parts of our body, the brain can be trained to function better. The author will take you by the hand and show you what’s possible, and you will be amazed at what you are capable of. 
  Book 3: Emotional Intelligence - You may have heard of emotional intelligence. You may have even learned a little bit about it.

  Book 4: Conscientiousness - Are you applying the power of being conscientious in your life? If you want more out of life, or if you want to be more productive, it’s worth it to learn how to become more conscientious.  
  Book 5: Men's Brains - It is no secret that a male’s brain is different from a female’s brain. And although every person is different anyway, there are some generalizations that are true for the most part. The question is: Why would you need to know about this anyway? Well, first of all, if you know about these things, you can save yourself a lot of frustration. 
  Book 6: Emotional Maturity - Find out what it takes to be emotionally mature. Some people get older and never grow up. Others are very mature for their age. How can you determine when someone is really emotionally mature? And is there a way to become more mature faster?  We all know those people whom we consider to be mature.
