Sinossi

Exoplanet Detection Methods offers a comprehensive exploration of techniques used to discover and study planets outside our solar system. The book emphasizes optical and spectroscopic methods, revealing how these tools bridge theoretical astrophysics with practical applications. Two pivotal methods discussed are transit photometry, which measures the dimming of a star's light as a planet passes in front of it, and radial velocity measurements, detecting the subtle wobble of a star caused by a planet's gravity. These methods are crucial, as combining them reveals a more complete picture of an exoplanet's characteristics.

 
The book progresses methodically, beginning with fundamental principles like stellar properties and planetary formation, then delving into specific detection techniques. It covers transit photometry, highlighting missions like Kepler and TESS, radial velocity measurements and direct imaging, including spectroscopic analysis of exoplanet atmospheres. A unique aspect of the book is its integration of theory with practical data analysis, making it valuable for students and researchers alike.

 
The book emphasizes that a complete understanding of exoplanet detection methods is essential to advance the study of planetary formation, habitability, and the possibility of life beyond Earth.

    A prize-winning memoirist and nature writer turns to the lives of plants entangled in our human world to explore belonging, displacement, identity, and the truths of our shared future 
     
     
     
    A seed slips beyond a garden wall. A tree is planted on a precarious border. A shrub is stolen from its culture and its land. What happens when these plants leave their original homes and put down roots elsewhere? 
     
     
     
    In fourteen essays, Dispersals explores the entanglements of the plant and human worlds: from species considered invasive, like giant hogweed; to those vilified but intimate, like soy; and those like kelp, on which our futures depend. Each of the plants considered in this collection are somehow perceived as being "out of place"—weeds, samples collected through imperial science, crops introduced and transformed by our hand. Combining memoir, history, and scientific research in poetic prose, Jessica J. Lee meditates on the question of how both plants and people come to belong, why both cross borders, and how our futures are more entwined than we might imagine.

  • Evolution Is Wrong - A Radical Approach to the Origin and Transformation of Life - cover

    Evolution Is Wrong - A Radical...

    A Fascinating Exploration on Why the Darwinists’ Theory No Longer Explains Everything 
    There was once a set of ideas called the theory of evolution, conceived by clever people and confirmed by countless scientists. Then people discovered the electron microscope. This made it possible to make the molecules within the cell visible, and suddenly questions about evolution arose that were not possible before. Which force actually bundles the atoms in the right order? What moves the molecular chains into the correct position? How did the first living unit within the cell actually come about? How does inheritance work, how does information pass on to the next generation? Did humans descend only and exclusively from primates—as Charles Darwin and countless other great minds assumed—or did additional “engines” intervene in evolution?  
    Today it is clear: countless questions can no longer be answered with the previous theory of evolution. There is a form of life called “Blob” (Physarum polycephalum). The “thing” has neither eyes nor ears, neither a mouth nor a nose or even a brain. Nevertheless, it takes in food, overcomes obstacles by the shortest route and exchanges information with other “blobs.” The “blob” contradicts any evolutionary thought that one develops from the other. Or the “gastric-brooding frogs” (Rheobatrachus) found in Australia. They hatch their young in the stomach. Impossible in a slow, evolutionary process.  
    Everywhere there are characteristics of animals that do not want to fit into the theory of evolution anywhere. And man? Are we really the most adapted life-form on this planet? Today, more and more scientists who contradict the previous theory of evolution speak out. The theory fits the changes within the species, but it can no longer be reconciled with the inner workings of the cell. Some other influence that has so far escaped us is affecting evolution. It is called “Intelligent Design.” Intelligent planning is suspected behind this. Anyone or anything—a spirit of the universe? Aliens?—could be behind this planning.  
    Erich von Däniken uses countless examples to demonstrate the impossibility of the previous evolutionary idea. He quotes scientists who argue against the previous teaching, but also those who defend it. Unfortunately, established science still refuses to look at discrepancies and holes in the theory of evolution, even though it is quite obvious that there is more going on with regard to the development of all species, as well as human culture, than could be explained by the theory of evolution alone.

    This is a beautifully elegant, deeply excellent book, pursued by grace on every page, in every stunning illustration." 
    
    —Carl Safina, ecologist, NYT bestselling author of Beyond Words and Becoming Wild; MacArthur Fellow and founder of The Safina Center
    
    From the bestselling author of All Creation Waits — a beautiful book of hope for Lent, filled with twenty-five of Earth's rare and wild creatures. Their stories, while tragic and uncomfortable, will wake readers to greater compassion and hope.
    
    Pangolins and polar bears, olms, lemurs, and leopards. We share this planet with creatures magnificent, delicate, intricate—and now vanishing at a faster rate than at any other time in Earth's history.
    
    
    Spend Lent with twenty-five of these endangered animals. Vivid descriptions of the miracle of each creature and the peril it faces will fill readers with wonder and grief at what these animals suffer on a planet shaped by human choices. Their true and difficult stories will wake readers to a greater compassion—which is what Lent, meaning "springtime," has always been for. These stories also wake in us a wild hope that from all this death and ruin something new could rise. The promise of Lent is that something new will rise. In fact, as these stories attest, our hope, though wild, is not impossible and is already loose in the world.
