  The Origin of the Universe

  Jan Aleksander Piasecki

  • 0

  A philosophical approach to the enigma of nature and the universe approached through observation, meditation, and logical analysis of material phenomena.   Written in accessible language for the general reader, The Origin of the Universe expounds on a theory that Jan Aleksander Piasecki developed from a synthesis of data he accumulated over the years. He discusses world forces and how they combine and operate to create the universe and matter, and all living things in it. A special section discusses the soul, its design and destiny.   Attributing everything in the universe to the impact and expansion of the heat entity and the resistance and pressure of the cold entity, Piasecki moves through time and space to explain the creation of the sun, the solar system, atmosphere, water, and living forms. He draws a connection from outside forces to that which animates every “self-moving form” from within: the soul, imbued with the knowledge of its own being.   From molecules to the moon, The Origin of the Universe takes readers on a journey through the mysteries of life, those with a finite existence and those that may endure forever . . .

  A defense of the dying art of losing an afternoon—and gaining new appreciation—amidst the bins and shelves of bricks-and-mortar shops. 
  Written during the pandemic, when the world was marooned at home and consigned to scrolling screens, On Browsing’s essays chronicle what we’ve lost through online shopping, streaming, and the relentless digitization of culture. The latest in the Field Notes series, On Browsing is an elegy for physical media, a polemic in defense of perusing the world in person, and a love letter to the dying practice of scanning bookshelves, combing CD bins, and losing yourself in the stacks.

  'A delicious trip through the geography, history and culture of the region' – Sunday Telegraph
  Ever since the days of the Grand Tour, Tuscany has cast its magic spell on foreign vistiors. Attracted by the perfect combination of history, art, architecture, superb natural beauty and weather – not to mention magnificent traditions of food and drink – British visitors and residents have been at times so numerous that the local word for foreigners was simply 'gli inglesi' – 'the English'.
  What is it that makes this exquisite part of Italy so seductive? Alistair Moffat embarks on a journey into Tuscany's past. From the flowering of the Etruscan civilization in the seventh century bc through the rise of the powerful medieval communes of Arezzo, Luca, Pisa and Florence, and the role the area played as the birthplace of the Renaissance, he underlines both the area's regional uniqueness as well as the vital role it has played in the history of the whole of Italy. Insightful, readable and imbued with the author's own enthusiasm for Tuscany, this book includes a wealth of information not found in tourist guides.
  'A sun-drenched meditation on the character of the place and its people' – The Scotsman
