Summary

In 'Yosemite' by John Muir (Illustrated Edition), readers are taken on a vivid journey through one of America's most iconic national parks. Muir's descriptive writing style beautifully captures the awe-inspiring natural landscapes of Yosemite, providing detailed accounts of the flora, fauna, and geological features that make the park unique. His use of vivid imagery and poetic language immerses readers in the beauty of the wilderness, showcasing the importance of conservation and appreciation for the natural world. This book serves as both a travelogue and a call to preserve the environment for future generations. John Muir, a Scottish-American naturalist and environmentalist, was a key figure in the preservation of wilderness areas in the United States. His firsthand experiences in Yosemite inspired his writing and activism, leading to the creation of national parks and the conservation movement. Muir's deep connection to nature is evident in his writing, as he conveys a sense of reverence and wonder for the natural world. I highly recommend 'Yosemite' by John Muir to readers who are passionate about nature, conservation, and exploring the great outdoors. Muir's timeless prose and advocacy for environmental protection make this book a must-read for those who appreciate the beauty and significance of America's national parks.

    “Titanic meets Tom Clancy technology” in this national-bestselling account of the SS Central America’s wreckage and discovery (People).  September 1875. With nearly six hundred passengers returning from the California Gold Rush, the side-wheel steamer SS Central America encountered a violent storm and sank two hundred miles off the Carolina coast. More than four hundred lives and twenty-one tons of gold were lost. It was a tragedy lost in legend for more than a century—until a brilliant young engineer named Tommy Thompson set out to find the wreck.   Driven by scientific curiosity and resentful of the term “treasure hunt,” Thompson searched the deep-ocean floor using historical accounts, cutting-edge sonar technology, and an underwater robot of his own design. Navigating greedy investors, impatient crewmembers, and a competing salvage team, Thompson finally located the wreck in 1989 and sailed into Norfolk with her recovered treasure: gold coins, bars, nuggets, and dust, plus steamer trunks filled with period clothes, newspapers, books, and journals.   A great American adventure story, Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea is also a fascinating account of the science, technology, and engineering that opened Earth’s final frontier, providing “white-knuckle reading, as exciting as anything . . . in The Perfect Storm” (Los Angeles Times Book Review).   “A complex, bittersweet history of two centuries of American entrepreneurship, linked by the mad quest for gold.” —Entertainment Weekly   “A ripping true tale of danger and discovery at sea.” —The Washington Post   “What a yarn! . . . If you sign on for the cruise, go in knowing that you’re going to miss meals and a lot of sleep.” —Newsweek

    Gregor Mendel was an Augustinian monk in the St. Thomas monastery in Brno. His seminal paper "Experiments on Plant Hybridization" presents his results of studying genetic traits in pea plants. It is the ground breaking work on inheritance, being the first to differentiate between dominant and recessive genetic traits. His work was long ignored and deemed controversial, however, at its rediscovery at the turn to the 20th century, it earned Gregor Mendel the title "father of modern genetics". (Summary by Availle)

    Every night, above our heads, a drama of epic proportions is playing out. Diamond planets, zombie stars, black holes heavier than a billion Suns. The cast of characters is extraordinary, and each one has its own incredible story to tell.								 
    We once thought of our Earth as unique, but we have now discovered thousands of alien planets, and that’s barely a fraction of the worlds that are out there. And there are more stars in the Universe than grains of sand on every planet in the Solar System. But amid all this vastness, the Milky Way Galaxy, our Sun and the Earth are home to the only known life in the Universe – at least for now.				 
    With a foreword from Professor Brian Cox, and access to all the latest NASA mission information, Andrew Cohen takes readers on a voyage of discovery, via the probes and telescopes exploring the outer reaches of our galaxy, revealing how it was formed and how it will inevitably be destroyed by the enigmatic black hole at its heart. And beyond our galaxy, the expanding Universe, which holds clues to the biggest mystery of all – how did it all begin? We now know more about those first moments of existence than we ever thought possible, and hidden in this story of how it all began are the clues to the fate of the Universe itself and everything in it.				 
    In THE UNIVERSE, Andrew Cohen takes us on a thrilling expedition through the sky, revealing the best of what astronomy and astrophysics have to offer. It's a book that captures the essence of space and the discoveries that have defined its history.				 
    For fans of Brian Clegg (Dark Matter and Dark Energy), Michio Kaku (The God Equation), Katie Mack (The End of Everything), Chris Packham (Earth), and Nirmala Nataraj (Earth and Space).
