The Smell of Kerosene

National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Donald L. Mallick, Peter W. Merlin

Sinopse

This book puts the reader in the pilot's seat for a "day at the office" unlike any other. The Smell of Kerosene tells the dramatic story of a NASA research pilot who logged over 11,000 flight hours in more than 125 types of aircraft. Donald Mallick gives the reader fascinating first-hand description of his early naval flight training, carrier operations, and his research flying career with NASA. After transferring to the NASA Flight Research Center, Mallick became involved with projects that further pushed the boundaries of aerospace technology. These included the giant delta-winged XB-70 supersonic airplane, the wingless M2-F1 lifting body vehicle, and triple-sonic YF-12 Blackbird. Mallick also test flew the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle and helped develop techniques used in training astronauts to land on the Moon.

The Dakota Access Pipeline...

Fredrich Hazelton

The Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protests were a defining moment in the intersection of environmental advocacy and Indigenous rights. Proposed to transport crude oil from the Bakken oil fields in North Dakota to Illinois, the pipeline’s route crossed sacred lands and the Missouri River, threatening water supplies and cultural heritage. While its proponents touted economic benefits and energy security, the project drew fierce resistance from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and their allies, sparking a global movement.  
  
At its core, the DAPL protests highlighted long-standing issues of environmental justice and the marginalization of Indigenous peoples in America. For centuries, Native American communities have faced the erosion of their sovereignty and disregard for their land rights. The pipeline’s route through unceded treaty lands underscored systemic failures to honor agreements and protect sacred sites. Moreover, it served as a stark reminder of the broader environmental challenges tied to fossil fuel dependence and its impact on climate change.  
  
The Standing Rock protests grew into a powerful grassroots campaign that united activists, environmentalists, and Indigenous groups from around the world. The movement’s significance lay not only in its immediate objectives—stopping the pipeline—but also in its ability to bring visibility to Indigenous struggles and inspire global solidarity. Social media played an instrumental role in amplifying the protests, creating a platform for underrepresented voices and rallying international support.

Many Things Under a Rock - The...

David Scheel

Of all the creatures of the deep blue, none is as captivating as the octopus. In Many Things Under a Rock, marine biologist David Scheel investigates four major mysteries about these elusive beings. How can we study an animal with perfect camouflage and secretive habitats? How does a soft and boneless creature defeat sharks and eels, while thriving as a predator of the most heavily armored animals in the sea? How do octopus bodies work? And how does a solitary animal form friendships, entice mates, and outwit rivals? 
 
 
 
Over the course of his twenty-five years studying octopuses, Scheel has witnessed a sea change in what we know and are able to discover about octopus physiology and behavior—even an octopus's inner life. Here he explores amazing new scientific developments, weaving accounts of his own research, and surprising encounters, with stories and legends of Indigenous peoples that illuminate our relationship with these creatures across centuries. In doing so, he reveals a deep affinity between humans and even the most unusual and unique undersea dwellers. 
 
 
 
Octopuses are complex, emotional, and cognitive beings. This is the story of what we have learned and what we are still learning about the natural history and wondrous lives of these animals with whom we share our blue planet.

Evolution's Final Days - The...

John Morrison

The Theory of Evolution Is In a Crisis 
In the updated second edition of Evolution's Final Days, John Morrison presents compelling arguments and new evidence that challenge the mainstream understanding of evolution. This edition is enriched with additional chapters and fully sourced information. 
Jun-Yuan Chen, a renowned paleontologist, once observed: "In China, we can criticize Darwin, but not the government. In America, you can criticize the government, but not Darwin." This statement underscores the controversial nature of evolutionary theory—a central theme of Morrison’s book. 
Evolution's Final Days explores the complexities of evolution as it is currently taught in educational institutions worldwide. From the primordial soup to the diverse species inhabiting the Earth today, including the descent of humans from apes, Morrison scrutinizes these concepts. He then unveils what textbooks omit, casting the theory of evolution in a radically new light. 
By the end of this book, readers will understand why the traditional narrative of evolution might not hold up as claimed. Morrison calls for a community-driven approach to advocate for scientific integrity and a true representation of evolutionary theory. 
This book is designed to provoke thought, whether you're a newcomer to the topic or a seasoned scholar with a PhD in evolutionary studies. Prepare to challenge what you've been told and discover intriguing facts that could reshape your understanding of life itself. 
Dive into the debate and see why Evolution's Final Days claims that the theory of evolution is nearing its end. Click the "Buy Now" button and start your journey into the science behind evolution's controversial discussion today!
