Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Final Frontier changes at the flickering rate of tomorrow's headlines, and the speed of light is much too slow for interstellar civilisation. Starmen and their intraspace ships link a thousand races on ten thousand worlds, so you'd think a starman would be treated with a little respect, but some things will never change. Ray -- Captain Ray Harris, master starpilot, loves to travel but hates to land anywhere. Ray especially hates planets, and starships don't earn money on the ground — but that's where the freight is, like it or not. Rokey -- Ray's copilot and alien partner, Rokey, is not a career starman, but a 250-year-old scholar, and he does miss one planet dear to his heart — his distant homeworld of Wozur. Sometimes Rokey still yearns for the family and the life he knew there, when he lived in the spotlight at the pinnacle of interstellar civilisation — until he remembers why he made the painful decision to exile himself. Exiled to the life of a starship trucker onboard the Yankee Shadow, on the run with a brilliant, dedicated young starman who loves to fly — but hates planets. Whether rescuing women from exploding vehicles or rescuing entire alien races from extinction in their ongoing quest to deliver the goods, Ray and Rokey always end up earning their pay — and their respect — the hard way."--Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Starship and the Canoe is neither a wilderness survival manual nor a book of blueprints. It is another of those rare books impossible to define: the kind that seeks you in time. And you will know it, live it, and consult it thereafter simply by name.” --Chicago Sun-Times “Brower’s superbly written book clutches at one’s imagination.” --Publishers Weekly “In the tradition of Carl Sagan and John McPhee, a bracing cerebral voyage past intergalactic hoopla and backwoods retreats.” --Kirkus Reviews Originally published in 1978, The Starship and the Canoe is the remarkable story of a father and son: Freeman Dyson is a world-renowned astrophysicist who dreams of exploring the heavens and has designed a spaceship to take him there. His son George, a brilliant high school dropout, lives in a treehouse and is designing a giant kayak to explore the icy coastal wilderness of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Author Kenneth Brower describes with stunning impact their lives and their visions of the world. It is a timeless tale framed by modern science, adventure, family, and the natural world.

Download or read book Lifting the Scientific Veil written by Paul Sukys and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 1999 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lifting the Scientific Veil has been written to afford the nonscience student the same meaningful opportunity to explore germane scientific topics as is generally given the science student to learn about the humanities and social sciences. Since nonscientists are generally responsible for making laws, financing research, or, at the very least, for voting, it is essential that they understand the significant impact that science has on everyday life. The book is designed to introduce nonscientists in an informative and comprehensible manner to four of the most significant scientific theories of the twentieth century: the big bang, quantum physics, relativity, and evolution. After each theory is explained informally, the book shows how that theory and related technology impact upon one's personal life. Legal and political aspects of these theories are explored as well as philosophical and theological implications.
