Download or read book Mysteries of the Universe written by Peter Altman and published by Jaico Publishing House. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Answerable and Unanswerable Questions Does alien life exist? Is time travel possible? How did the Universe begin and how will it end? Is the future pre-determined? These are just some of the fascinating questions posed in this book which stretches across physics, the life sciences and cosmology. Each chapter considers a separate question and ends with either an answer or, if there is insufficient evidence, a ‘best guess’ answer. For every question addressed here—be it time travel, multiple universes, intergalactic travel, or the end of the world—the author has tried to exhaust all possibilities before arriving at a conclusion. Everyone will have their own opinion but one thing is certain— Mysteries of the Universe will fascinate, educate, and stimulate. DR PETER ALTMAN trained as a biochemist and now works as a science writer and speaker. His areas of special interest include cosmology, biochemistry and photography. He is the Founder and Chairman of the Bricket Wood Science Group and a member of the Magic Circle in London. I really like the premise of this book… The questions are just those that a lay person wants the answers to and the division into answerable and unanswerable makes a distinction that is not always apparent. ANDREW NORTON, Professor of Astrophysics Education, The Open University, UK

Book excerpt: USA TODAY BESTSELLER • In a charming cozy mystery series debut, Leslie Nagel’s irrepressible small-town heroine finds that her fellow book club members may be taking their Agatha Christie a bit too literally—and murder a bit too lightly. Charley Carpenter has poured heart and soul into her clothing store, Old Hat Vintage Fashions. She’ll do anything to make it a success—even join the stuffy Agathas Book Club in order to cultivate customers among the wealthy elite of Oakwood, Ohio. Although mixing with the most influential women in town has its advantages, Charley finds the endless gossip a high price to pay. But after two women with close ties to the Agathas are brutally murdered, everyone falls under threat—and suspicion. When key evidence indicates that both murders are the work of the same hand, Charley realizes that the killer has arranged each corpse in perfect imitation of crime scenes from the Club’s murder mystery reading list. She uses her membership in the Club to convince Detective Marcus Trenault to use her as an inside informant. Not that he could stop her anyway. Intelligent, fearless, and every bit as stubborn as Marc is, Charley soon learns the Agathas aren’t the only ones with secrets to protect. Passions explode as she and Marc must race against time to prevent another murder. And if Charley’s not careful, she may find herself becoming the killer’s next plot twist.
