Download or read book Space Nomads Set a Course for Mars written by Camomile Hixon and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transform Your Mind. Expand Your Universe. Reach for Mars. Imagine a better tomorrow with interstellar essays and art—drawing on the aspirational futurism that fuels Star Trek, The Martian, and 2001: A Space Odyssey, renowned contemporary artist Camomile Hixon reminds us that by reaching for the stars, we can chase our full potential beyond Earth, while also transforming ourselves and our understanding of the Pale Blue Dot we call home. We stand at the threshold of interplanetary travel: SpaceX rockets are now routinely leaving Earth and NASA’s new Perseverance rover is searching for signs of ancient life on the Red Planet. Not since the moon landing in 1969 has space—or the promise of a transformational future for humankind—felt so close. Do we dare to reach for it? Yearning to know the stars has long united humanity and ignited our imaginations. And while here on Earth we grapple with deep unrest—economic struggle, political upheaval, gender discrimination, pandemics, racial tensions, climate change—the potential of a colony on Mars has sparked a new, universal hope and a heightened sense of collective purpose as we discover our ultimate destiny beyond Earth’s orbit. Celebrating the limitless potential of space and the human spirit, Hixon’s indelible essays and fantastical works of art invite us to imagine a transcendent future where we reach together for absolute freedom, unconditional love, and wellness on our grand quest for world peace. Weaving science, history, art, and philosophy with meditations on higher consciousness inspired by seeing the Earth from Space, Space Nomads is a book of unbridled optimism for the future.

Download or read book Analogs for Planetary Exploration written by W. Brent Garry and published by Geological Society of America. This book was released on 2011 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where on Earth is it like Mars? How were the Apollo astronauts trained to be geologists on the Moon? Are volcanoes on Earth just like the ones on other planets? The exploration of our solar system begins in our own backyard. Discoveries on other planetary bodies cannot always be easily explained. Therefore, geologic sites on this planet are used to better understand the extraterrestrial worlds we explore with humans, robots, and satellites. Analogs for Planetary Exploration is a compilation of historical accounts of astronaut geology training, overviews of planetary geology research on Mars, educational field trips to analog sites, plus concepts for future human missions to the Moon. This Special Paper provides a great overview of the science, training, and planning related to planetary exploration for students, educators, researchers, and geology enthusiasts. After all, as we learn about the solar system we can better understand our own planet Earth.

Download or read book Face of a Stranger written by Dan Roentsch and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2004 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A plague that thinks. A hero afraid to dream. For twenty years dictator Eric Sheel rules supreme in the Martian state of Edom while the plague takes his people. Only Harold Sevillus, Earth's premier scientist, knows the secret of how the plague works. Before he dies, Sevillus leaves an encoded message in the brain of his five year-old son, Maric. Sheel is convinced the message contains the truth about the plague, but he is unable to break the code. As Maric grows older, the message begins to intrude upon his dreams, and then his waking thoughts. At last he is confronted with a choice: Give Sheel what he wants and become part of a horrifying tyranny--or give up everything to save Edom and his soul.

Download or read book Outlandish written by Nick Hunt and published by Nicholas Brealey. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Outlandish, acclaimed travel writer Nick Hunt takes us across landscapes that should not be there, wildernesses found in Europe yet seemingly belonging to far-off continents: a patch of Arctic tundra in Scotland; the continent's largest surviving remnant of primeval forest in Poland and Belarus; Europe's only true desert in Spain; and the fathomless grassland steppes of Hungary. From snow-capped mountain range to dense green forest, desert ravines to threadbare, yellow open grassland, these anomalies transport us to faraway regions of the world. More like pockets of Africa, Asia, the Poles or North America, they make our own continent seem larger, stranger and more filled with secrets. Against the rapid climate breakdown of deserts, steppes and primeval jungles across the world, this book discovers the outlandish environments so much closer to home - along with their abundant wildlife: reindeer; bison; ibex; wolves and herds of wild horses. Blending sublime travel writing, nature writing and history - by way of Paleolithic cave art, reindeer nomads, desert wanderers, shamans, Slavic forest gods, European bison, Wild West fantasists, eco-activists, horseback archers, Big Grey Men and other unlikely spirits of place - these desolate and rich environments show us that the strange has always been near.
