  The Eye and I

  Dr. Johan Zwaan

  • 0

  This book is a story book about the eye. After some 60 years in eye research and clinical work in ophthalmology there have been many instances, where I remember patients and their problems, a book I read or a place that I traveled. This book has 30 chapters and the only thing they have in common, other than all having the same writer is that all have something to do with the eye or eye associated structures such as the eye muscles.None of the chapters are meant to be clinical reports; all are stories and I have tried to keep the text understandable.Some chapters have pen drawings, but for a number I could not think of appropriate illustrations and they consist of just text. All are relatively short, easily read in an evening. Some feature bugs, blister beetles, fleas and lice or other microorganisms that might affect the eye or the tissues around it. Other chapters play away from the U.S., such as Saudi-Arabia, Grenada and Komodo Island.

  Dark Space Unveiled - A Journey...

  The universe, as we know it, is far from what we can fully observe with our eyes. Much of its true nature is hidden in a vast expanse called Dark Space. The origin of this mysterious realm is tied to the very beginning of the cosmos itself. To understand Dark Space, we must first explore the birth of the universe. Around 13.8 billion years ago, the Big Bang marked the start of everything. It was a massive explosion that created space, time, and all the matter in the universe. In the initial moments of this event, the universe expanded at an incomprehensibly rapid rate, stretching from a point of infinite density to the vast expanse we see today. But the observable universe is only a small fraction of what exists, and what lies beyond is far more perplexing. 
  The universe, since its inception, has expanded, and during this expansion, a significant portion of its matter remained hidden from our detection methods. This invisible matter became known as Dark Matter. While we cannot see it, its presence is inferred through its gravitational effects on visible matter. Galaxies rotate in such a way that their outer stars should be flying off into space, but they do not. Instead, they remain bound together. Dark Matter is believed to be the unseen force holding galaxies together, influencing their structure and movement. However, this invisible substance isn't the only mystery lurking in the vastness of space. A far more enigmatic force was discovered in the late 20th century, known as Dark Energy. This force appears to be driving the accelerated expansion of the universe. Unlike Dark Matter, Dark Energy is not something we can detect through its gravitational pull, but its effects are unmistakable. The universe’s rate of expansion is speeding up, not slowing down as was once expected, and Dark Energy is thought to be the driving force behind this strange phenomenon.

  North York Moors and Yorkshire...

  This book is one of a popular series that seeks to tell the story of some of Britain's most beautiful landscapes. Written with the general reader – the walker, the lover of the countryside – firmly in mind, these pages open the door to a fascinating story of bygone oceans, deltas, mineralisation and glacial landscapes.
  Millions of years ago, rocks that now form the lovely terrains of the Moors and Wolds were laid down on the floors of shallow seas, and were then deformed by plate tectonics before being shaped by streams and rivers. The sandstones were left to form the high Moors, whereas the chalk was carved into the rolling Wolds. Ice Age lakes came and went, and all the time wave action was fretting the coastline into glorious and varied profiles.
  With the help of numerous maps, diagrams and photographs, most of which are taken from his personal collection, geologist Tony Waltham tells the fascinating story of eastern Yorkshire, explaining just how the landscapes of sandstone uplands, chalk hills and clay vales came to look as they do. Including suggestions for walks and places to visit to appreciate the best of the inland and coastal landforms, this accessible and readable book opens up amazing new perspectives for all who are interested in the diverse landscapes of this beautiful area.

  The Story of Drugs - How...

  John Harpoon

  Throughout human history, substances have shaped the course of civilizations, influencing not only individual lives but entire societies. From the sacred plants used in ancient religious rituals to the drugs that sparked global trade and conflict, substances have been at the center of some of the most transformative events in human history. These substances—whether natural or synthetic—have impacted cultures, economies, medicine, and politics in ways that continue to reverberate today. 
    
  The use of psychoactive substances is as old as human civilization itself. In ancient times, plants like opium, cannabis, and peyote were not only used for their mind-altering properties but also for their spiritual significance. Shamanistic rituals, often involving trance-like states induced by these substances, were common across many early societies. These practices tied substances to deep spiritual experiences, leading to the belief that these plants had a divine or otherworldly power. 
    
  As civilizations grew, so did the complexity of their relationship with drugs. The Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans all had distinct approaches to substances, incorporating them into everything from medicine to social rituals. The introduction of alcohol as a staple in religious ceremonies and social life further solidified the role of substances in the daily lives of these societies. At the same time, substances like opium were recognized for their medicinal value, setting the stage for the eventual development of the pharmaceutical industry.
