The Universe is a very big place and has many mysteries. Most people don't realize just how mysterious it is. Scientists are stumped by many of the conundrums which Astronomy reveals. In this book I want to give readers a sense of the grandeur, mystery, and puzzles which the Universe poses to scientists. When you realize how incredible our Universe really is you may be surprised. We used to think the Sun was the center of the Universe. Now we know our solar system is just one of billions. Most of the matter in the Universe is also missing. And there must be alien life somewhere—you will see the logic and discoveries about this in later chapters. I also have interspersed some chapters which cover my beliefs in the overall consciousness of the Universe which should provide some interesting perspectives. There are some amazing facts about our Universe which will also give you some food for thought. Overall, I hope this book amazes you about what we know about the Universe today and the incredible mysteries which we are just beginning to explore.Ver libro
'Terrific and enthralling' New Scientist Fifty years ago, in July 1969, Apollo 11 became the first manned mission to land on the Moon, and Neil Armstrong the first man to step on to its surface. He and his crewmates, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, were the latest men to risk their lives in this extraordinary scientific, engineering and human venture that would come to define the era. In Apollo 11: The Inside Story, David Whitehouse reveals the true drama behind the mission, putting it in the context of the wider space race and telling the story in the words of those who took part – based around exclusive interviews with the key players. This enthralling book takes us from the early rocket pioneers to the shock America received from the Soviets' launch of the first satellite, Sputnik; from the race to put the first person into space to the iconic Apollo 11 landing and beyond, to the agonising drama of the Apollo 13 disaster and the eventual winding-up of the Apollo program. Here is the story as told by the crew of Apollo 11 and the many others who shared in their monumental endeavour. Astronauts, engineers, politicians, NASA officials, Soviet rivals – all tell their own story of a great moment of human achievement.Ver libro
Science doesn't speak for itself. Neck-deep in work that can be messy and confounding and naïve in the ways of public communication, scientists are often unable to package their insights into the neat narratives that the public requires. Enter celebrities, advocates, lobbyists, and the funders behind them, who take advantage of scientists' reluctance to provide easy answers, flooding the media with misleading or incorrect claims about health risks. Amid this onslaught of spurious information, Americans are more confused than ever about what's good for them and what isn't.In Bad Advice, Paul A. Offit shares hard-earned wisdom on the dos and don'ts of battling misinformation. For the past 20 years, Offit has been on the front lines in the fight for sound science and public heath. Stepping into the media spotlight as few scientists have done — such as being one of the first to speak out against conspiracy theories linking vaccines to autism — he found himself in the crosshairs of powerful groups intent on promoting pseudoscience. Bad Advice discusses science and its adversaries: not just the manias stoked by slick charlatans and their miracle cures but also corrosive, dangerous ideologies such as Holocaust and climate-change denial.Ver libro

If you are like 99% of students, you are probably learning by rote. In other words, you become a robot - mechanically repeating the information that needs to be learned. Studying this way is extremely easy, especially with a subject like anatomy, which has rote learning written all over it. More than likely, understanding the subject is quite easy for you. And that's great! But the question is, how long will you retain the information you have learned using this technique? Do you feel that after two or three days you forget all the important stuff? Well, join the club; we have been there (and some of us still are) and we understand the feeling.
Most of the students we know follow a rather straightforward method of learning: they open their anatomy book, start reading the page, take some notes, revise a bit and hope for the best. Do you follow a similar approach? It is definitely not the worst strategy, but you’ll shed a lot of blood, sweat, and tears...
The good news is that there are a lot of alternatives to this strategy and we are here to show you some of them. But we’ll be honest from the very beginning; there are no magic tricks that will enable you to learn everything automatically. There is no “one simple rule” to remember everything. Whoever told you that has never studied anatomy!
