Download or read book The Science of Why We Exist written by Tim Coulson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-07-02 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Big Bang and the evolution of the genetic code to the birth of consciousness, this is the extraordinary story of the chain of events that led to human life on earth. Have you ever wondered why you exist? What had to happen for you to be alive and conscious? Scientists have come a long way in answering this question, and this book describes what they have found out. It also examines whether our existence was inevitable at the universe’s birth 13.77 billion years ago—or whether we are just incredibly lucky. The book is aimed at readers who are interested in science but are not experts. Written in an entertaining and accessible style, the narrative begins by describing how scientists discover facts before taking the reader on a journey from the Big Bang to the creation of the human genome. Covering physics, astronomy, chemistry, earth sciences, the emergence of life, evolution, consciousness, the rise of humanity, and how our personalities are moulded by genes, chance, and the environment, the journey explains how the universe started as point of intense energy that over time, in our corner of the universe, resulted in our wonderful planet—and in you.
Download or read book Emails from the Farm written by Michael A. Monagan and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-02-20 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the years, I have often wondered what my pets and livestock would write if they could. The stories that follow come from a host of animals with some stories from my viewpoint. I started writing stories to share with my friends. Then these friends asked that I consider getting them published so that other people could have some joy in their lives. Seeing as the Bible said laughter is like good medicine, I decided to compile some stories and write more. Some of the people who answer the e-mails are real people, and some of the answers from them are from me so that I can keep a story going or try to keep it clearer or funny. One last disclaimer: no farm animals were hurt writing these stories, but some chickens did lose feathers and had their serenity disturbed.
Download or read book Memoirs of Emma Courtney written by Mary Hays and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2000-01-25 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November of 1795, after William Godwin requested a sketch of Mary Hays’ life, she arrived at the idea of Memoirs of Emma Courtney. Godwin followed up his request with a “hint” that a fictional exploration of the painful experience she had undergone in her relationship with William Frend might help her to come to terms with it. It was to be an “instructive rather than self indulgent” work. The resulting novel is one of the most interesting and important explorations of gender-related issues of the time. Emma is exposed to a series of situations—motherlessness, orphanhood, poverty, dependence, and more—which encourage her to reflect “on the inequalities of society, the source of every misery and vice, and on the peculiar disadvanteges of my sex.” The novel quickly became viewed as “a scandalous disrobing in public” but it has endured as much on the basis of its readability as on its pointed social commentary.

Burly, tattoo-stamped Blue, haunted by the brutal, disparaging voice of their father, embarks on a cross-country search for the elusive parent.

Download or read book Emma s War written by Deborah Scroggins and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-11-23 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emma McCune’s passion for Africa, her unstinting commitment to the children of Sudan, and her youthful beauty and glamour set her apart from other relief workers from the moment she arrived in southern Sudan. But no one was prepared for her decision to marry a local warlord—a man who seemed to embody everything she was working against—and to throw herself into his violent quest to take over southern Sudan’s rebel movement. With precision and insight, Deborah Scroggins—who met McCune in Sudan—charts the process by which McCune’s romantic delusions led to her descent into the hell of Africa’s longest-running civil war. Emma’s War is at once a disturbing love story and an up-close look at Sudan: a world where international aid fuels armies as well as the starving population, and where the northern-based Islamic government—backed by Osama bin Laden—is locked in a war with the Christian and pagan south over religion, oil, and slaves. A timely, revelatory account of the nature of relief work, of the men and women who choose to carry it out, and of one woman’s sacrifice to its ideals.

'Brilliant.' said Mark Lawson on BBC2's The Late Review; 'This is a terrific piece of work - learned, entertaining, funny, stimulating' said Jonathan Meades in The Evening Standard.But now the world's best single-volume dictionary of English slang is about to get even better. Jonathon Green has spent the last seven years on a vast project: to research in depth the English slang vocabulary and to hunt down and record written instances of the use of as many slang words as possible. This has entailed trawling through more than 4000 books - plus song lyrics, TV and movie scripts, and many newspapers and magazines - for relevant material. The research has thrown up some fascinating results
