  Carl Edward Sagan (November 9, 1934 - December 20, 1996), born in Brooklyn, NY, was an American astronomer and astrophysicist. His best-known scientific contribution was his research on the possibility of extraterrestrial life, including experimental demonstration of the production of amino acids from basic chemicals by exposure to light. He assembled the first physical messages sent into space, the Pioneer plaque and the Voyager Golden Record, which were universal messages that could potentially be understood by any extraterrestrial intelligence that might find them. The following is a lecture Sagan gave in 1977 during which he discussed life on earth and other planets.

  Time is a fascinating subject and one which affects our lives in many ways.  
  This book covers a lot of aspects of the subject. 
  First, how did measurements of time like seconds, minutes, hours, and years develop? 
  Next, what is the history of timekeeping mechanisms from ancient water clocks, to mechanical mechanisms, atomic clocks, and much more. 
  Lastly, what are some of the stranger aspects or anomalies of time such as premonitions, how time and space work, and possible time travel stories. 
  And philosophical questions like: Does the future already exist? 
  I wanted this book to be a comprehensive volume on time and so included lots of different stories and understandings about time which indicate we may not fully understand it yet.

  Mathematical Biology - A Very...

  Why are English Premier League football shirt patterns very similar to animal coat markings? And what do invasive species have in common with cancer cells in the body? Mathematical biology develops models which answer these questions, as they are applied to processes from the spread of a gene in a population, to predator-prey dynamics in an ecosystem, to the growth of tumors.In this Very Short Introduction Philip K. Maini describes the art of modeling, what it is, why we do it, and illustrates how the abstract way of thinking that is the essence of mathematics enables us to transfer knowledge from one area of research to another. Using numerous examples, he explains how the same fundamental ideas have been used in different fields, and shows how mathematics is the language of science. The author also points to cases in science where the traditional scientific modelling approach—verbal reasoning—is incorrect and shows how mathematics can uncover, and correct, such flawed reasoning while, at the same time, enhance our intuition. This book provides a guide to the trajectory of mathematical biology from a niche subject in the 1970s to a well-established, popular subject that is truly inter-disciplinary, and points to exciting future challenges.

  This story is based on true events of a serious and noble attempt made by the author to save the life of a cherished white and ginger cat who was injured. 
  The author found a cat lying in his garden one day, wounded and meowing quietly. Together with his friend, they took the cat to a veterinarian. 
  The veterinarian told them that the cat had probably been hit by a car and crawled to the garden. 
  Eliran started then to write about the story of Jupiter the hero, the curious cat, who was fascinated by the stars in the heavens and wanted to be “The Star of the Neighborhood”. 
  The story presents a picture of the complexity of the life of street cats, showing the anticipated urban dangers and their dependence on the mercy of the people who volunteer to feed them and care for them. 
  This story resonates well beyond cats and people. It talks about the values of carrying for the other and being empathic.

  The Hidden Paths - Ancient...

  Several years ago I became interested in the ideas of real time travel and dimensional travel. I’ve been trained in science and modern physics as well as engineering so I knew that modern theories of our physical world did not include the possibilities that time or dimensional travel existed. 
  As I did my research on stories of people who had travelled through time or additional dimensions there were many very credible stories. These stories eventually led me to conclude that time or dimensional travel through portals or veils does exist and some persons have experienced it. 
  On a book I wrote about the Tuatha Da Dannon who were the forerunners of elves, the Druids, and more there were stories that they originated in a different dimension called the Otherworld. And there were some interesting stories of humans who had traveled to the Otherworld and back. 
  It also turns out that the more one studies these subjects the more historical stories there are of portal, dimensional, and time travel experiences people have had. 
  This book then is a detailed review and exploration of portals around the world. Some of which are very plausible and others just might exist. Also could these portals be used today? 
  There are also lots of stories of individuals travelling through time and dimensional portals. 
  There are lots of interesting questions on this subject and we are just starting to learn the answers.
