  This program features an introduction and epilogue read by the author. "In the grand tradition of Carl Sagan and Neil deGrasse Tyson, we now have a new tour guide to the cosmos."―Charles Cockell, Professor of Astrobiology, University of Edinburgh"Absorbing, informative, and entertaining."―Kirkus (Starred Review)“[Dr. Lisa] Kaltenegger's accessible scholarship and [Cassandra] Campbell's grounded performance encourage listeners to gaze skyward and wonder.”—AudioFileRiveting and timely, a look at the research that is transforming our understanding of the cosmos in the quest to discover whether we are alone.For thousands of years, humans have wondered whether we're alone in the cosmos. Now, for the first time, we have the technology to investigate. But once you look for life elsewhere, you realize it is not so simple. How do you find it over cosmic distances? What actually is life? As founding director of Cornell University's Carl Sagan Institute, astrophysicist Lisa Kaltenegger has built a team of tenacious scientists from many disciplines to create a specialized toolkit to find life on faraway worlds. In Alien Earths, she demonstrates how we can use our homeworld as a Rosetta Stone, creatively analyzing Earth's history and its astonishing biosphere to inform this search. With infectious enthusiasm, she takes us on an eye-opening journey to the most unusual exoplanets that have shaken our worldview - planets covered in oceans of lava, lonely wanderers lost in space, and others with more than one sun in their sky! And the best contenders for Alien Earths. We also see the imagined worlds of science fiction and how close they come to reality. With the James Webb Space Telescope and Dr. Kaltenegger’s pioneering work, she shows that we live in an incredible new epoch of exploration. As our witty and knowledgeable tour guide, Dr. Kaltenegger shows how we discover not merely new continents, like the explorers of old, but whole new worlds circling other stars and how we could spot life there. Worlds from where aliens may even be gazing back at us. What if we're not alone?A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

  Are you interested in getting a better understanding of the COBOL programming language? 
  Do you seek to know how COBOL interacts with other database management systems? 
  Would you like to expand your knowledge base of database systems? 
  COBOL Database Interaction is a set of techniques that allow us to interact with databases. COBOL Database Interaction is used to retrieve, store, and modify specific records in a database table. It is done by modifying row values. This feature of COBOL allows us to perform everyday tasks such as deleting or updating records in a database table while restoring the original state of the data after the updated records have been deleted. 
  COBOL Database Interaction is used to update records in a database table selectively. It is done by modifying row values without affecting other records in the same table. COBOL Database Interaction allows us to perform tasks such as deleting or updating specific, preexisting records, and also provides us with a mechanism by which we can create new, empty records (without having to create them manually) before saving them to their original data tables. 
  Why is it necessary to understand COBOL database interaction? 
  Understanding the basics of COBOL database interaction is essential in the technology field because COBOL has been used in many industries and is still in use today. In addition, this knowledge can be applied to many software applications and programs.

  The Age of Reason

  Thomas Paine

  "Thomas Paine's "The Age of Reason" is a thought-provoking work that both defends Deism and challenges the world's major monotheistic religions. Let's delve into its fascinating aspects:    Overview:  "The Age of Reason" is a book by English and American political activist Thomas Paine.  It argues for the philosophical position of deism, which emphasizes reason, natural religion, and skepticism toward institutionalized religion.  The book was published in three parts: in 1794, 1795, and 1807.  While it became a best-seller in the United States, British audiences received it with more hostility due to fears of increased political radicalism after the French Revolution.  Key Themes:  Deism: Paine's work follows in the tradition of 18th-century British deism. Deists advocated for free rational inquiry, religious toleration, and an end to religious persecution.  Natural Law: Deists believed that all things in the universe, including God, must obey the laws of nature. They rejected miraculous accounts and insisted on reason and rationality.  Bible Critique: Paine challenges the legitimacy of the Bible, viewing it as an ordinary piece of literature rather than a divinely-inspired text.  Appealing Style: By presenting deistic arguments in an engaging and irreverent style, Paine made deism accessible to the masses.  "The Age of Reason" remains a significant work that shaped intellectual discourse and inspired free thinkers."

  Dispossessing the Wilderness -...

  National parks like Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Glacier preserve some of this country's most cherished wilderness landscapes. While visions of pristine, uninhabited nature led to the creation of these parks, they also inspired policies of Indian removal. By contrasting the native histories of these places with the links between Indian policy developments and preservationist efforts, this work examines the complex origins of the national parks and the troubling consequences of the American wilderness ideal. The first study to place national park history within the context of the early reservation era, it details the ways that national parks developed into one of the most important arenas of contention between native peoples and non-Indians in the twentieth century.
