  As huge and prominent as it appears to us, our planet  and solar system are but small parts of our galaxy, a  massive assembly that spatters the sky with billions of  stars and that extends away from us for tens of thousands  of light years. And this galaxy of ours is in turn  but a small portion of the universe of trillions of other  galaxies that reaches outward for billions of light years,  back to the dawn of time.  This course places our local solar system into the  greater context to show where it all came from and  what its fate may be. We will study our sun and its  interior, learn about stellar red giants, white dwarfs,  neutron stars, and black holes, and encounter the  mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. We explore  the natures of the stars, what different kinds there are,  what makes them shine, how they are born, and how  they die, some with a whimper, others with explosions  that rock the cosmos. We then look to our galaxy of  stars, and then to the great variety of other galaxies, to  their clusters, and to their fiery interactions and collisions.  Finally, we encounter the universe as a whole,  the collection of all there is, which is still expanding  from its Big Bang origin of nearly 14 billion years ago.

  Issues mankind faces today are global warming, climate change, widespread pollution of natural elements, environmental degradation and resource depletion. 
  Environment protection does not suffer from the dearth of scientific data or the absence of laws and regulations on the subject. What is absent is a consistent and determined mindset of the authorities and the people in general to implement the laws. 
  If we fail to protect the environment, researchers predict that a few billion years from now all life on earth will be wiped out. 
  This book is a detailed study on environmental awareness which is necessary to protect the environment for future generations.

  This memoir of a year on a virtually uninhabited Scottish island, including illustrations of flora and fauna, is “the next best thing to being there” (Scotland on Sunday).Wild Island depicts a year in the life of Oronsay, a remote Scottish island that is farmed by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, and follows artist Jane Smith as she attempts to portray the interactions of wildlife, farm animals, and a small number of human inhabitants. A humorous, first-hand, personal view of island life, both human and otherwise, the book is illustrated with Smith’s vibrant and acutely observed sketches, paintings, and prints. She invites us into her world as she delves into such questions as: What does it feel like to sit in a bog all day? Where are a bird's knees? And why do I always wind up covered in acrylic paint?  Musing on encounters with creatures from otters to oil beetles, conservation management, and the tides, winds, and ferries that affect each journey to and from the island, Smith offers a beautiful portrait of a special place—and shares the ridiculous things that happen when living on a remote island, cut off from the rest of the world.

  Under Surveillance - Being...

  “An engaging, alarming, and enlightening book, one that is certain to be among the most important books on surveillance in the twenty-first century.” —Siva Vaidhyanathan, author of Antisocial Media   Never before has so much been known about so many. CCTV cameras, TSA scanners, NSA databases, big data marketers, predator drones, “stop and frisk” tactics, Facebook algorithms, hidden spyware, and even old-fashioned nosy neighbors—surveillance has become so ubiquitous that we take its presence for granted. While many types of surveillance are pitched as ways to make us safer, almost no one has examined the unintended consequences of living under constant scrutiny and how it changes the way we think and feel about the world. In Under Surveillance, Randolph Lewis offers a highly original look at the emotional, ethical, and aesthetic challenges of living with surveillance in America since 9/11.   Taking a broad and humanistic approach, Lewis explores the growth of surveillance in surprising places, such as childhood and nature. He traces the rise of businesses designed to provide surveillance and security, including those that cater to the Bible Belt’s houses of worship. And he peers into the dark side of playful surveillance, such as eBay’s online guide to “Fun with Surveillance Gadgets.” A worried but ultimately genial guide to this landscape, Lewis helps us see the hidden costs of living in a “control society” in which surveillance is deemed essential to governance and business alike. Written accessibly for a general audience, Under Surveillance prompts us to think deeply about what Lewis calls “the soft tissue damage” inflicted by the culture of surveillance.  “A sprightly tour down some of the surveillance society’s most claustrophobic corridors.” —Cory Doctorow, New York Times–bestselling author
