The Evolution of Worlds - Enriched edition Unraveling the Mysteries of Celestial Evolution and Cosmic Creation

Percival Lowell

Sinopsis

In "The Evolution of Worlds," Percival Lowell presents a groundbreaking exploration of planetary science, postulating the complex evolutionary histories of celestial bodies within our solar system. Drawing on advances in contemporary astronomy and his observations of Mars, Lowell employs a mix of empirical data and imaginative speculation, crafting a narrative that delves into the dynamics of planetary atmospheres, geology, and potential life. His unique perspective, influenced by the romanticism of the late 19th century, positions the book at the intersection of science and philosophy, stimulating debates about the nature of the universe and humanity's place within it. Percival Lowell, a prominent American astronomer, was deeply influenced by the scientific advancements of his time and his travels to Asia, where he encountered new cultures and ideas. His passion for astronomy led him to establish the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, where he made significant contributions to the understanding of Mars. It was his belief in the possibility of extraterrestrial life, based on meticulous observations, that shaped the arguments presented in this book, reflecting his imaginative yet scientific approach to celestial phenomena. "The Evolution of Worlds" is essential reading for anyone intrigued by the mysteries of our universe and the potential for life beyond Earth. Lowell's eloquent prose and visionary insights not only enhance our understanding of planetary evolution but also challenge readers to consider the broader implications of our existence within the cosmos.

Cornerstone at the Confluence -...

Jason A. Robison

Signed on November 24, 1922, the Colorado River Compact is body of laws colloquially called the "Law of the River" that governs how human beings use water from the river system dubbed the "American Nile." No fewer than forty million people have come to rely on the Colorado River system in modern times—a system immersed in an unprecedented, unrelenting megadrought for more than two decades. Attempting to navigate this "new normal," policymakers are negotiating new management rules for the river system, a process coinciding with the compact's centennial that must be completed by 2026. 
 
 
 
Animated by this remarkable confluence of events, Cornerstone at the Confluence leverages the centennial year to reflect on the compact and broader "Law of the River" to envision the future. It is a volume inviting dialogue about how the river system's flows should be apportioned given climate change, what should be done about environmental issues such as ecosystem restoration and biodiversity protection, and how long-standing issues of water justice facing Native American communities should be addressed. 
 
 
 
These topics touch on the concept of "equity" embedded within the compact—a concept that tees up what is perhaps the foundational question confronted by Cornerstone at the Confluence: Who should have a seat at the table of Colorado River governance?
