Download or read book Evolution written by Joseph McCabe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-31 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution: A General Sketch From Nebula to Man The dimensions of this little Work will sufficiently prepare the reader to appreciate its scope. It gives no more than the broad outlines of the evolution of the earth and its inhabitants. From the great volume which a score of sciences have co-operated in writing on that absorbing subject it selects only the pages that are most interesting and intelligible to the general reader. These pages it joins into a continuous story, which opens with the mighty cloud of matter that was stirred into giving birth to our sun and its planets, and ends with some attempt to forecast their fate in millions of years to come. In so brief an account of so long a story only slight reference can be made to the controversies that divide modern students of evolution in regard to the agencies at work. The aim is chie y to present a panoramic view of the development of the world - especially the world that lies close about us - by a conscientious use of the results of many sciences, and aided by a personal acquaintance during many years with both telescope and microscope. But disputed points will be left open, conjecture plainly stated as conjecture, and the latest theories of importance indicated; so that the reader may be at least slightly informed on the systems Weismannism, Mendelism, etc. - that now occur in all he may read further on the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Victor Hugo These Greek capitals, black with age, and quite deeply graven in the stone, with I know not what signs peculiar to Gothic caligraphy imprinted upon their forms and upon their attitudes, as though with the purpose of revealing that it had been a hand of the Middle Ages which had inscribed them there, and especially the fatal and melancholy meaning contained in them, struck the author deeply. He questioned himself; he sought to divine who could have been that soul in torment which had not been willing to quit this world without leaving this stigma of crime or unhappi ness upon the brow of the ancient church.

This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginning of Man and What Becomes of Him We cannot count the beginning of man by years, ages or cycles, for when the earth began its formation from a gaseous, nebula mass, man was there in both matter and spirit life. It may be asked, How could man have existed in that boiling, fiery, gaseous mass? Matter which constituted the component parts of his body could have existed in a gaseous state as readily as it does when that body dies and disintegrates and passes into a gaseous state.

Download or read book The Stochastic Man written by Robert Silverberg and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hugo and Nebula Award Finalist: This tale of an encounter between a probability expert and a psychic is “a treasure” (San Francisco Examiner). Lew Nichols can predict the future. Not see the future, just make predictions based on research and statistics. Nichols is damn good at it, though, and his accuracy makes him a valuable addition to Paul Quinn’s political campaign for New York City Mayor and possibly the White House. But, when Nichols meets eccentric millionaire Martin Carvajal, predictions suddenly seem petty and flippant. You see, Carvajal can actually see the future—not trends, not options—a signal line of events stretching out ahead. It’s a gift Nichols can learn from this “mentor,” but at what price? Will knowing the future make the present meaningless?

A. 5h 28m 24s; O, N. P. D. 952910; 9, 1860; 0 The main Object of this memoir is to leave such measures and descriptions of the brightest parts of the nebula of Orion as shall enable another person Observing in after years with the same telescope, under like conditions, to say with certainty whether or no changes have occurred in these parts of this nebula. The brightest parts are chosen so as to avoid as far as possible any uncertainty in the conclusion then to be reached, and also because there is little to be added to the complete Observations of Lord rosse and of Gr. P. Bond on, the fainter portions. A second and an important Object is to make a thorough discussion of the vast mass of material now on hand.

Download or read book Horror Comics in Black and White written by Richard J. Arndt and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-01-21 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1954, the comic book industry instituted the Comics Code, a set of self-regulatory guidelines imposed to placate public concern over gory and horrific comic book content, effectively banning genuine horror comics. Because the Code applied only to color comics, many artists and writers turned to black and white to circumvent the Code's narrow confines. With the 1964 Creepy #1 from Warren Publishing, black-and-white horror comics experienced a revival continuing into the early 21st century, an important step in the maturation of the horror genre within the comics field as a whole. This generously illustrated work offers a comprehensive history and retrospective of the black-and-white horror comics that flourished on the newsstands from 1964 to 2004. With a catalog of original magazines, complete credits and insightful analysis, it highlights an important but overlooked period in the history of comics.
