Book excerpt: Winner of the Newbery Medal “A charming, intriguingly plotted novel.”—Washington Post Newbery Medalist Erin Entrada Kelly’s Hello, Universe is a funny and poignant neighborhood story about unexpected friendships. Told from four intertwining points of view—two boys and two girls—the novel celebrates bravery, being different, and finding your inner bayani (hero). “Readers will be instantly engrossed in this relatable neighborhood adventure and its eclectic cast of misfits.”—Booklist In one day, four lives weave together in unexpected ways. Virgil Salinas is shy and kindhearted and feels out of place in his crazy-about-sports family. Valencia Somerset, who is deaf, is smart, brave, and secretly lonely, and she loves everything about nature. Kaori Tanaka is a self-proclaimed psychic, whose little sister, Gen, is always following her around. And Chet Bullens wishes the weird kids would just stop being so different so he can concentrate on basketball. They aren’t friends, at least not until Chet pulls a prank that traps Virgil and his pet guinea pig at the bottom of a well. This disaster leads Kaori, Gen, and Valencia on an epic quest to find missing Virgil. Through luck, smarts, bravery, and a little help from the universe, a rescue is performed, a bully is put in his place, and friendship blooms. The acclaimed and award-winning author of Blackbird Fly and The Land of Forgotten Girls writes with an authentic, humorous, and irresistible tween voice that will appeal to fans of Thanhha Lai and Rita Williams-Garcia. “Readers across the board will flock to this book that has something for nearly everyone—humor, bullying, self-acceptance, cross-generational relationships, and a smartly fateful ending.”—School Library Journal
Download or read book Fundamental Questions of Practical Cosmology written by Yurij Baryshev and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-15 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book guides readers (astronomers, physicists, and university students) through central questions of Practical Cosmology, a term used by the late Allan Sandage to denote the modern scientific endeavor to find the cosmological model best describing the universe of galaxies, its geometry, size, age, and matter composition. The authors draw on their personal experience in astrophysics and cosmology to explain key concepts of cosmology, both observational and theoretical, and to highlight several items which give cosmology its special character. These highlighted items are: Ideosyncratic features of the “cosmic laboratory”, Malmquist bias in the determination of cosmic distances, Theory of gravitation as a cornerstone of cosmological models, Crucial tests for checking the reality of space expansion, Methods of analyzing the structures of the universe as mapped by galaxies, Usefulness of fractals as a model to describe the large-scale structure and new cosmological physics inherent in the Friedmann world model.

Download or read book The Problem of Creation written by J. E. Mercer and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this volume is to define the character and trend of the cosmic process. The argument is based on the familiar postulate ex nihilo nihil, now generally accepted by science and philosophy, confirmed as it has been by the evolutionary hypothesis. The contention for an ultimate ground which is both known and conditioned recalls the system of personalism so thoroughly worked out by Borden P. Bowne. Dr. Mercer makes a comprehensive examination of the historical and current cosmological theories and concludes that the world ground is conscious, purposeful, rational will. What, then, is the end of the cosmic process, which is also a creative process and controlled by a Personal Source? It is "the evolution of persons who are to find fullness of life in and through membership of a perfect society." This thought is suggestively applied to the Church as a spiritual organism, whose world mission is to point the way and to place humanity in close communion with the divine Source of life through the Incarnate Christ. The categories of time and space are interpreted as having both a subjective and objective reality. Causality is regarded as both phenomenal and efficient and materialism has failed and become discredited because it has evaded this distinction and obscured the creative process under figures of speech. The age-long problem of fate and freedom, of law and liberty is also discussed from the standpoint of a dynamic cosmos, which provides for the unity of the conscious and free self. This able discussion thus concludes: "God is the uncreated, self-existing Ground of all that Becomes. And since He is eternal, so is that creative activity which pours around Him objects of His love. Inimitable in its brevity, its pregnancy, its comprehensiveness is that apostolic utterance which we have already found to contain the heart and secret of cosmology: "In him, and through him, and to him are all things." - The Christian Advocate, Vol. 95

Book excerpt: The Character of Creation addresses both theology and science. A review of the progress in modern astronomy, cosmology and other scientific disciplines shows a remarkable unity between Biblical truth and scientific discovery. There is a vast and grand scale to the universe, signifying an even more extraordinary and grand Creator. Arranged as a series of accessible essays, and written from a Christian perspective, this book explores such topics as the evidence for design in nature, qualities of the Earth that make it special and uniquely fit for life, biological complexity pointing to a Creator, the modern discoveries that the universe had a definite beginning and is expanding. and the significance of universal physical laws.
Download or read book Physical Foundations of Cosmology written by Viatcheslav Mukhanov and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-11-10 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inflationary cosmology has been developed over the last twenty years to remedy serious shortcomings in the standard hot big bang model of the universe. This textbook, first published in 2005, explains the basis of modern cosmology and shows where the theoretical results come from. The book is divided into two parts; the first deals with the homogeneous and isotropic model of the Universe, the second part discusses how inhomogeneities can explain its structure. Established material such as the inflation and quantum cosmological perturbation are presented in great detail, however the reader is brought to the frontiers of current cosmological research by the discussion of more speculative ideas. An ideal textbook for both advanced students of physics and astrophysics, all of the necessary background material is included in every chapter and no prior knowledge of general relativity and quantum field theory is assumed.
Download or read book A Companion to Yi jing Numerology and Cosmology written by Bent Nielsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translations of the Yi jing into western languages have been biased towards the yili ('meaning and pattern') tradition, whereas studies of the xiangshu ('image and number') tradition - which takes as its point of departure the imagery and numerology associated with divination and its hexagrams, trigrams, lines, and related charts and diagrams - has remained relatively unexplored. This major new reference work is organised as a Chinese-English encyclopedia, arranged alphabetically according to the pinyin romanisation, with Chinese characters appended. A character index as well as an English index is included. The entries are of two kinds: technical terms and various other concepts related to the 'image and number' tradition, and bio-bibliographical information on Chinese Yi jing scholars. Each entry in the former category has a brief explanation that includes references to the origins of the term, cross-references, and a reference to an entry giving a more comprehensive treatment of the subject.

Download or read book Probable Impossibilities written by Alan Lightman and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acclaimed author of Einstein’s Dreams tackles "big questions like the origin of the universe and the nature of consciousness ... in an entertaining and easily digestible way” (Wall Street Journal) with a collection of meditative essays on the possibilities—and impossibilities—of nothingness and infinity, and how our place in the cosmos falls somewhere in between. Can space be divided into smaller and smaller units, ad infinitum? Does space extend to larger and larger regions, on and on to infinity? Is consciousness reducible to the material brain and its neurons? What was the origin of life, and can biologists create life from scratch in the lab? Physicist and novelist Alan Lightman, whom The Washington Post has called “the poet laureate of science writers,” explores these questions and more—from the anatomy of a smile to the capriciousness of memory to the specialness of life in the universe to what came before the Big Bang. Probable Impossibilities is a deeply engaged consideration of what we know of the universe, of life and the mind, and of things vastly larger and smaller than ourselves.
