  The TR-3B Black Manta - What is...

  The TR-3B, or Black Manta, or Astra is one of the most fascinating potentially top secret aircraft ever created by the United States military. 
  The big reason for this is that this craft is supposed to use anti-gravity technology. This technology is discussed a lot in this book. 
  Also, what other evidence is there for the existence of this craft? There are lots of unknowns here but there are also enough pictures of this aircraft that you can’t just discount sightings as being something else which the observers misinterpreted. 
  There are even anti-gravity patents by US government researchers which might be applicable to the reality of the TR-3B. 
  Overall, the existence of this craft is a huge mystery which still needs exploration and solutions to what it really is. 
  This is what I’m trying to do in this book.

  The Elements of Marie Curie -...

  The acclaimed Pulitzer Prize finalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Galileo’s Daughter crafts a luminous chronicle of the most famous woman in the history of science, and the untold story of the remarkable young women trained in her laboratory 
   
  “Even now, nearly a century after her death, Marie Curie remains the only female scientist most people can name,” writes Dava Sobel at the opening of her shining portrait of the sole Nobel laureate decorated in two separate fields of science—Physics in 1903 with her husband, Pierre, and Chemistry by herself in 1911. And yet, as brilliant and creative as she was in the laboratory, Marie Curie was equally memorable outside it. Grieving Pierre’s untimely death in 1906, she took his place as professor of physics at the Sorbonne, devotedly raised two brilliant daughters, drove a van she outfitted with X-ray equipment to the front lines of World War I, befriended Albert Einstein and other luminaries of twentieth-century physics, won support from two US presidents, and inspired generations of young women to pursue science as a way of life.  
   
  As Sobel did so masterfully in her portrait of Galileo through the prism of his daughter, she approaches Marie Curie from a unique angle, narrating her remarkable life of discovery and fame alongside the women who became her legacy—from France’s Marguerite Perey, who discovered the element francium, and Norway’s Ellen Gleditsch, to Mme. Curie’s elder daughter, Irène, winner of the 1935 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. For decades the only woman in the room at international scientific gatherings that probed new theories about the interior of the atom, Marie Curie traveled far and wide, despite constant illness, to share the secrets of radioactivity, a term she coined. Her two triumphant tours of the United States won her admirers for her modesty even as she was mobbed at every stop; her daughters, in Ève’s later recollection, “discovered all at once what the retiring woman with whom they had always lived meant to the world.” 
   
  With the consummate skill that made bestsellers of Longitude and Galileo’s Daughter, and the appreciation for women in science at the heart of The Glass Universe, Dava Sobel has authored a radiant biography and a masterpiece of storytelling, illuminating the life and enduring influence of one of the most consequential figures of our time.

  The Rose-breasted Grosbeak often stays out of sight among the treetops. However, its rich melodious song consisting of whistled phrases, somewhat similar to the American Robin's voice can often be heard in spring and summer. Where the range of this species overlaps with that of the Black-headed Grosbeak on the Great Plains, the two sometimes interbreed. This binaural audio recording features the Rose-breasted Grosbeak birdsong recorded in its natural habitat in Iowa’s Yellow River State Forest near a delicate babbling river stream together with other birds, insects, and ground creatures. Other birdsongs include: Red-winged Blackbird, Song Sparrow, Blue Jay, Mourning Dove, American Crown with American Goldfinch, Gray Catbird, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker drumming in background.

  On the Origin of Species

  'It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.'
  
  Considered as the foundation of evolutionary biology, Charles Darwin's groundbreaking On the Origin of Species profoundly transformed the field of biology at the time, as well as contemporary religious beliefs.
  
  First published in 1859, On the Origin of Species presents Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Darwin argues that species evolve over time; individuals with superior traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. These favourable traits become more common in subsequent generations, leading to the gradual development of a new species. Darwin draws upon extensive evidence from biology, geology and the animal kingdom to support his theory, challenging the idea that species are fixed and unchanging. Revolutionary in its influence, On the Origin of Species laid the foundation for modern evolutionary biology, genetics and ecology. This audiobook edition is skilfully narrated by Mark Elstob.
  Charles Darwin (1809 – 1882) was an English biologist, naturalist and geologist. Initially studying medicine and theology, Darwin became drawn to natural science, wherein he developed the pioneering theory of evolution via natural selection. He remains a hugely respected figure in science to this day.
