Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if the man next to you perfectly hummed a song that aired today for the first time, as if he'd heard it countless times? Robert Feldman is a young man caught up in a merry-go-round of unusual events that begin with the solar eclipse of April 2024. Taken away from his wife and daughter and thrown into the ripples of time, he is forced to live alternative lives. Facing the ethical and emotional baggage generated by the incredible phenomenon, the protagonist is subjected to the "Groundhog Day" syndrome, but in a different way. He travels back in 2017 several times throughout the book, but it’s never quite the same, as the threads of time are tangled by other time travelers. While Robert is given the choice of different fates in the alternate realities, he crosses the temporal threshold only when he matures enough to accept his destiny, no matter what. At the end of this fast-paced novel, filled with provocative ideas, well-defined characters, and offbeat dialogue hovers the question ’What do we sacrifice to find happiness?’

Download or read book Eclipse A Journey to Darkness and Light written by David Levy and published by ibooks. This book was released on 2011-05-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to world-famous astronomer David Levy, an eclipse of the sun “is a natural event with unnatural consequences. In fact, a total eclipse of the Sun has the power to rip through to the core of your being.” Levy should know, having experienced the power of the vanishing Sun first as a child then in 1999 on a ship in the North Atlantic. It was that voyage to the darkness of the disappearing Sun, followed by a rendezvous with a brilliant display of the Northern Lights, that formed the inspiration for this book. Levy recounts the recorded history of eclipses, how they have been perceived by ancient cultures, how they can be predicted, and how best to view them. In addition, he explains the science of solar eclipses and what can be gained by studying them. In a manner accessible to all readers, Levy recounts the story of nature’s most profound displays.

Download or read book Sun Moon Earth written by Tyler Nordgren and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With beautiful illustrations and a detailed map, Sun Moon Earth has everything you need to get ready for the next solar eclipse. On April 8, 2024, millions of Americans will experience an awe-inspiring phenomenon: a total eclipse of the sun. In Sun Moon Earth, astronomer Tyler Nordgren illustrates how this most seemingly unnatural of natural phenomena was transformed from a fearsome omen to a tourist attraction. From the astrologers of ancient China and Babylon to the high priests of the Maya, Sun Moon Earth takes us around the world to show how different cultures interpreted these dramatic events. Greek philosophers discovered eclipses' cause and used them to measure their world and the cosmos beyond. Victorian-era scientists mounted eclipse expeditions during the age of globe-spanning empires. And modern-day physicists continue to use eclipses to confirm Einstein's theory of relativity. Beautifully illustrated and lyrically written, Sun Moon Earth is the ideal guide for all eclipse watchers and star gazers alike.
