Summary

"The Time Rift" explores the fascinating concept of time dilation, revealing how time's passage is not constant but varies with gravity and velocity, as described by Einstein's theories of relativity. 

 
The book delves into both special and general relativity, explaining how time slows down for objects moving at high speeds and in strong gravitational fields. For example, atomic clocks at different altitudes experience time differently, confirming gravitational time dilation. 

 
The book begins with foundational physics concepts and gradually introduces Einstein's revolutionary ideas, including length contraction and the curvature of spacetime. Later chapters delve into the theoretical possibilities of wormholes and time machines, while acknowledging the speculative nature of time travel. 

 
"The Time Rift" also connects these concepts to astrophysics, cosmology, and philosophy, examining the implications for our understanding of cause and effect. The book emphasizes verifiable scientific principles and accepted theories.
Available since: 02/17/2025.

    In this engaging and timely book,  John Wyatt analyses the arguments in favour of euthanasia and physician assisted suicide and shows how unstable their foundations are. Instead, Wyatt suggests a more humane path forward: one that is both achievable and more honouring to the patient.

    In his enthusiastic explorations and fervent writing, Michael J. Yochim "was to Yellowstone what Muir was to Yosemite. . . . Other times, his writing is like that of Edward Abbey, full of passion for the natural world and anger at those who are abusing it." In 2013 Yochim was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). While fighting the disease, he wrote Requiem for America's Best Idea. The book establishes a unique parallel between Yochim's personal struggle with a terminal illness and the impact climate change is having on the national parks—the treasured wilderness that he loved and to which he dedicated his life. 
 
 
 
Yochim explains how climate change is already impacting the vegetation, wildlife, and the natural conditions in Olympic, Grand Canyon, Glacier, Yellowstone, and Yosemite National Parks. A poignant and thought-provoking work, Requiem for America's Best Idea investigates the interactions between people and nature and the world that can inspire and destroy them.

    We now know that the universe is mostly dark, made up of particles and forces that are undetectable even by our most powerful telescopes. The discovery of the possible existence of dark matter and dark energy signaled a Copernican-like revolution in astronomy: not only are we not the center of the universe, neither is the stuff of which we're made. Astronomer Vera Rubin (1928–2016) played a pivotal role in this discovery. By showing that some astronomical objects seem to defy gravity's grip, Rubin helped convince the scientific community of the possibility of dark matter. In Bright Galaxies, Dark Matter, and Beyond, Ashley Jean Yeager tells the story of Rubin's life and work, recounting her persistence despite early dismissals of her work and widespread sexism in science. 
 
 
 
Yeager describes Rubin's childhood fascination with stars, her education at Vassar and Cornell, and her marriage to a fellow scientist. At first, Rubin wasn't taken seriously; she was a rarity, a woman in science, and her findings seemed almost incredible. Still, she continued her groundbreaking work, driving a scientific revolution. She received the National Medal of Science in 1993, and has since been memorialized with a ridge on Mars, an asteroid, a galaxy, and most recently, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory—the first national observatory named after a woman.

    In this 2023 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, Ellen Dee Davidson explores what it means to be in conversation with trees. Davidson hikes into an ancient redwood forest on a regular basis and practices “forest bathing”. She reminds us that when we are not bombarded with the noise, bright lights, and electromagnetic fields of a city our nervous system calms down and we open up to a wider field of perception. 
Davidson is an advocate for the health of forests. Besides her memoir, she’s the author of a number of children's books. She has worked as an elementary, piano, and creative writing teacher and raised two daughters. She lives with her husband in the redwoods of northern California where she regularly sits with trees in a form of “forest bathing”.

DESCRIPTION 
In the modern era, we are dependent on technology for almost every aspect of our lives. Computers are a major part of this technology assisted life, as we have now developed ways to do most of the essential tasks on a computer. Computer science is no longer limited to theories and lectures, it has now become an important part of our lives. 

Touchpad PLAY (Version 2.0) series, based on Windows 10 and MS Office 2016, is designed carefully keeping in mind the overall growth of the children. The simple and step-by-step approach used in this book makes the content very easy to understand for the students. 


The students will face a global competition once they step out of the school so they should be updated with the latest technologies which holds a promising future in the times to come. The best way to learn is, to do it through fun filled activities. To make content interesting through the course of the book, we have included key features like Student Corner, Tech Funda, Clickipedia, Comp Caution, Exercise, In The Lab (Subject Enrichment), Teacher’s Corner, Worksheet, Test Sheet, Project Work, Explore More, Keyboard Shortcuts and Glossary. 

Sample questions of Orange Global Olympiad (Cyber) have been included to promote awareness about the national level competition. 

These features will ensure better learning, assessment, evaluation and enable children to take their knowledge beyond the classroom. 


We hope that the book enables the children to learn the concepts with not only the purpose of gaining knowledge but also to be able to find its applications. We look forward to any suggestions for improving the book.

    Elephants today live on only 15% of the land they once roamed. With each passing day, another acre of nature is destroyed by human beings, replaced by agriculture, settlement and other man-made business. With each passing day, Asia’s remaining wild elephants are squeezed onto smaller pieces of land onto which they’re expected to survive. Wildlife photographer Larry Laverty has followed the plight of the elephants for several decades, capturing the magnificence of this animal on film, while at the same time raising awareness all over the world of the danger of extinction that elephants face. For this book, Larry spent months travelling across Asia following elephants and recording extraordinary moments on his camera. The result is an amazing book of some 180 photographs, presented in landscape format, of one of Earth’s greatest creatures. It’s through his work and books that Larry hopes to give the elephants of Asia the respect they deserve… ”We are finally acknowledging a force of nature that’s been with us all along. Elephants are magnetic. But until now, we humans haven’t had the ability to see, to appreciate this fact.”
