Sinossi

The book is in the vein of going to outline the characteristics of "planet water" while taking a different view of the whole. Instead of delving into only one particular aspect (the scientific-technological or the social, for example), it was preferred to consider all the links that water has to man and society, going on to outline a series of "journeys," each corresponding to each of the seven chapters that form the structure of the writing. Very briefly, these different and complementary points of view can be summarized in this outline: The indissoluble link between water and life, from the Universe to our Planet to the biosphere and our cells. The chemical and physical properties of water, what they depend on and what influences they have in defining the importance of this molecule. Water-related phenomena such as the water cycle, geology, types of water, and everything related to the morphology of planet Earth. What uses, how much consumption and treatments are related to water to understand the numbers, purposes and quality of water used. What are the social aspects related to water from historical, economic and political aspects to all forms of artistic expression and daily life. How we are attacking water through pollutions of various kinds, the problem of global warming, and waste related to today's society. The concept of water rights, the scarcity of water resources with related inequalities, the confrontation-clash between market vision and essential human rights. The beginning and the end of the book constitute the central themes around which all the arguments unfold. The link to life and the right to water are two sides of the same coin that will lead to very precise and detailed conclusions, such as the awareness of a new sustainable model of development, the necessary actions to combat global problems such as pollution, global warming and water scarcity, and the conviction that rights and life are more important and necessary than purely economic iss

    Sleep paralysis is one of the most mysterious and terrifying sleep phenomena known to humankind. Those who experience it describe waking up in the middle of the night, fully aware of their surroundings but unable to move. A crushing weight on the chest, an overwhelming sense of dread, and eerie hallucinations—shadowy figures, whispers, or even demonic entities—often accompany the experience. For centuries, people have attributed these encounters to supernatural forces, from demonic attacks to alien abductions. However, modern science has begun to uncover the true nature of sleep paralysis, revealing it as a complex interplay between the brain, body, and sleep cycles.  
      
    Despite being a well-documented occurrence, sleep paralysis remains shrouded in fear and misunderstanding. Many who suffer from it have no idea what is happening to them, leading to unnecessary distress and anxiety. While some dismiss it as a mere trick of the mind, others are convinced it is something more—an unexplained bridge between the waking world and the unknown. The debate between scientific explanations and paranormal interpretations has persisted for generations, making sleep paralysis one of the most intriguing topics in both medical and supernatural studies.  
      
    Historically, cultures around the world have attempted to explain this chilling phenomenon through folklore and mythology. In Scandinavian legend, the “Mare” was an evil spirit that sat on people’s chests at night, suffocating them as they slept. In Japan, the kanashibari, meaning “bound in metal,” was believed to be the work of vengeful spirits. Similarly, in parts of Africa and the Caribbean, the experience has been linked to black magic or ancestral spirits seeking revenge. These eerie similarities across different cultures suggest that sleep paralysis has been a universal human experience, yet its interpretations have varied dramatically depending on societal beliefs.

    “A careful overview of the structure of the Milky Way Galaxy, with informative asides into the history of astronomy, galaxy formation and evolution." —Gerry Gilmore, University of CambridgeThis book offers an intimate guide to the Milky Way, taking readers on a grand tour of our home Galaxy's structure, genesis, and evolution, based on the latest astronomical findings. In engaging language, it tells how the Milky Way congealed from blobs of gas and dark matter into a spinning starry abode brimming with diverse planetary systems—some of which may be hosting myriad life forms and perhaps even other technologically communicative species.William Waller vividly describes the Milky Way as it appears in the night sky, acquainting readers with its key components and telling the history of our changing galactic perceptions. Within the Milky Way, ground-based and space-borne telescopes have revealed that our Solar System is not alone. Hundreds of other planetary systems share our tiny part of the vast Galaxy. We reside within a galactic ecosystem that is driven by the theatrics of the most massive stars as they blaze through their brilliant lives and dramatic deaths. Similarly, effervescent ecosystems of hot young stars and fluorescing nebulae delineate the graceful spiral arms in our Galaxy's swirling disk. Beyond the disk, the spheroidal halo hosts the ponderous—and still mysterious—dark matter that outweighs everything else. Another dark mystery lurks deep in the heart of the Milky Way, where a supermassive black hole has produced bizarre phenomena seen at multiple wavelengths.Waller makes the case that our very existence is inextricably linked to the Galaxy that spawned us.
