Beschreibung

It starts with a small, physical fact. A dryness at the back of the throat. A joint that clicks. A sound from inside a wall.
 
This is not a book about being sick. It is a book about being here. In this chair. With a body that keeps its own time, measured in flare-ups and bad days, not calendars. It is a record of the small negotiations—the journey to the kitchen, the weight of a glass, the texture of paper, the memory of a voice.
 
There are no lessons here. No clean arcs or moments of clarity. There is only the hum of the refrigerator, the voice from a podcast about geology, and the insistent presence of a world that continues on outside the window. An unflinching and fragmented collection of essays, An Echo in the Plaster is an intimate, real-time account of a body that has become a stranger, and the thoughts that fill the silence.

Bright Galaxies Dark Matter and Beyond - The Life of Astronomer Vera Rubin - cover

Ashley Jean Yeager

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.

A compelling look at US Navy SEALs through a true-to-life lens focused on the triumphs and challenges of the elite warriors of the Special Forces community. Master Chief (SEAL) Rick Kaiser (Ret.) captures over forty-five years of events in and around the SEAL Teams.

A Silver Star recipient for his leadership during the battle of Mogadishu—"Black Hawk Down"—and a prominent member of both SEAL Team TWO and SEAL Team Six, Rick has been recognized throughout his career for his courage, commitment, and fortitude. Continuing to serve the SEALs as chief operating officer of the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum, Rick is the perfect person to tell the Navy SEAL story the way it really is, sharing the life and leadership lessons he learned along the way.
