Book excerpt: Born to immigrant parents in Minnesota just before the turn of the century, Frances Frankowski grew up coveting the life of her best friend, Rosalie Mendel. And yet, decades later, when the women reconnect in San Francisco, their lives have diverged. Rosalie is a housewife and mother, while Frances works for the Office of Naval Intelligence and has just been given a top-secret assignment: marry handsome spy Ainslie Conway and move to the Galápagos Islands to investigate the Germans living there in the build-up to World War II. Amid active volcanoes, forbidding wildlife and flora, and unfriendly neighbors, Ainslie and Frances carve out a life for themselves. But the secrets they harbor—from their friends, from their enemies, and even from each other—may be their undoing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being the Perils and Adventures of a Young Butterfly Collector in the Land of Darwin. A loopy, larky, action adventure, romantic comedy, set in what the Spanish conquistadors called, Las Islas Encantadas, the enchanted islands. They believed that they materialized out of the mist, or rose up from the sea in response to some ungodly force which caused them to appear in unexpected places. So, it is not surprising that Captain Sarly Manner of the MS. Southern Comet came upon one as suddenly as he did in the Southern Pacific one dark and stormy night, when his ship ran aground on the Mamago Island off the coast of South America in the vicinity of the state of Urador.

Download or read book Charles Darwin written by Rebecca Stefoff and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1996-08-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Origin of Species, published in 1858, transformed our view of the world and made Charles Darwin one of the most controversial figures in science. This biography begins much earlier with his long search for a profession, his five-year voyage around the world on the Beagle, and the decades-long intellectual journey he made in his study and garden. But it is for his theory about the origin of man and natural selection that he is remembered. His book threw the scientific community into a heated debate that continues today, and has made evolutionary biology one of the liveliest areas of science. This new biography looks at the person behind the controversy whose earth- shaking discoveries and ideas remain as exciting and interesting as today's headlines. Oxford Profiles in Science is an on-going series of scientific biographies for young adults. Written by top scholars and writers, each biography examines the personality of its subject as well as the thought process leading to his or her discoveries. These illustrated biographies combine accessible technical information with compelling personal stories to portray the scientists whose work has shaped our understanding of the natural world.
