  A "quirky, endlessly entertaining" look at the surprising history of the pigeon (Simon Winchester). 
   
   
    
  Domesticated since the dawn of man, pigeons have been used as crucial communicators in war by every major historical superpower from ancient Egypt to the United States and are credited with saving thousands of lives. They have been worshipped as fertility goddesses and revered as symbols of peace. Charles Darwin relied heavily on pigeons to help formulate and support his theory of evolution. Yet today they are reviled as "rats with wings." 
   
   
    
  To research this lively history of the humble pigeon, the author traveled across the United States and Europe to meet with pigeon fanciers and pigeon haters in a quest to find out how we came to misunderstand one of mankind’s most helpful and steadfast companions. Pigeons captures a Brooklyn man's quest to win the Main Event (the pigeon world's equivalent of the Kentucky Derby), as well as a convention dedicated to breeding the perfect bird. The author participates in a live pigeon shoot where entrants pay $150; he tracks down Mike Tyson, the nation's most famous pigeon lover; he spends time with Queen Elizabeth's Royal Pigeon Handler; and he sheds light on a radical "pro-pigeon underground" in New York City. In Pigeons, Andrew D. Blechman reveals for the first time the remarkable story behind this seemingly unremarkable bird.

  Selenology - The Study of the...

  The Moon has captivated human curiosity for millennia, and its origin remains one of the most intriguing questions in planetary science. Various theories have been proposed to explain how Earth’s only natural satellite came into existence, each offering insights into the early history of the solar system. Through extensive research and lunar sample analysis, scientists have narrowed down the most plausible explanations, with the Giant Impact Hypothesis standing as the leading theory. 
  One of the earliest theories, the Fission Hypothesis, suggested that the Moon was once part of Earth and was flung into space due to the planet’s rapid rotation. This idea, proposed in the 19th century, attempted to explain similarities in composition between the Earth and Moon, but it failed to account for the Moon’s distinct isotopic ratios and angular momentum. Similarly, the Capture Hypothesis posited that the Moon was an independent celestial body that Earth’s gravity later captured. While this could explain some differences in composition, it does not align with the Moon’s nearly circular orbit or its close chemical resemblance to Earth’s mantle. The Co-formation Hypothesis, which argues that Earth and the Moon formed together from the same primordial disk of dust and gas, also struggles to explain the Moon’s unique density and lack of a substantial iron core.

  Grace Brewster Hopper (December 9, 1906 to January 1, 1992) was an American computer scientist, mathematician, and United States Navy rear admiral. A pioneer of computer programming, Hopper was the first to devise the theory of machine-independent programming languages and used this theory to develop the FLOW-MATIC programming language and COBOL, an early high-level programming language still in use today. She was also one of the first programmers on the Harvard Mark I computer. She is credited with writing the first computer manual, "A Manual of Operation for the Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator." The following audio recording is from a 1982 presentation.
