Summary

First published in 1842, this vintage book contains part five of Charles Darwin's “The Zoology of The Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle”, a fascinating and detailed account of the research he did whilst aboard the HMS Beagle between 1832 and 1836—work that played a key role in the conception of his scientific theories on evolution and natural selection. This part concentrates on the reptiles and amphibians that he encountered and studied around the world. Contents include: “Alsodes Monticola”, “Amblyrynchus Cristatus”, “Ameiva Longicauda”, “Borborocaetes Bibronii”, “Bufo Chilensis”, “Centrura Flagellifer”, “Cyclodus Casuarinae”, “Cystignathus Georgianus”, “Diplolaemus Bibronii”, etc. Charles Robert Darwin (1809 – 1882) was an English geologist, naturalist, and biologist most famous for  his contributions to the science of evolution and his book “On the Origin of Species” (1859). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
Available since: 10/16/2020.

    The Universe is a very big place and has many mysteries. Most people don't realize just how mysterious it is. Scientists are stumped by many of the conundrums which Astronomy reveals. 
  
In this book I want to give readers a sense of the grandeur, mystery, and puzzles which the Universe poses to scientists. When you realize how incredible our Universe really is you may be surprised. 
  
We used to think the Sun was the center of the Universe. Now we know our solar system is just one of billions. 
Most of the matter in the Universe is also missing. 
  
And there must be alien life somewhere—you will see the logic and discoveries about this in later chapters. 
  
I also have interspersed some chapters which cover my beliefs in the overall consciousness of the Universe which should provide some interesting perspectives. 
There are some amazing facts about our Universe which will also give you some food for thought. 
  
Overall, I hope this book amazes you about what we know about the Universe today and the incredible mysteries which we are just beginning to explore.

Modern development in Spain and Portugal has encroached on many of the battlefields, new research has questioned established interpretations of events, and there is a broader appreciation of the parts played by all the armies involved - the French on one side and the Spanish, Portuguese and British on the other. Andrew Rawson, in this highly illustrated and practical guide, offers a wide-ranging, up-to-date and balanced account of this prolonged conflict, and he guides the reader and the visitor across the terrain over which the armies marched and fought. He reconstructs the major battles in graphic detail, and provides practical tours of the major battlefields and campaigns. Also included are sections examining the armies, the military organization and tactics of the time and the role of the Spanish guerrillas. This guide to the Peninsular War will be essential reading for anyone who wants a concise and accessible introduction to the conflict, and it will serve as an invaluable reference guide for visitors who want to explore the sites of the fighting two centuries ago.

    Chemistry professor Dario Bressanini is on a mission to teach listeners about safe, sustainable methods for cleaning their homes while debunking widespread myths. He uses scientific evidence to answer common queries, including the following: Is it more efficient to wash dishes in the sink or in the dishwasher? Can vinegar and baking soda actually unclog your drain? Does bleach remove dirt? How do I get rid of that white stuff on my showerhead? Bressanini covers these subjects and more by digging into chemistry basics like solubility, pH, and concentration. He explains how to choose the best product for any job, including advice on making selections at the store and using just the right amount to cut down on waste. Everything contains chemicals (yes, even water!)—but we should still be careful and eco-friendly about how we clean. With tips on tasks from scrubbing stubborn grease off a pan to getting that weird stink out of a pair of shoes, The Science of Cleaning reminds us that science can be both useful and exciting. No more searching online for cleaning hacks—in this book, the science speaks for itself!
