Illuminating and entertaining The Washington Post Astronomers have successfully observed a great deal of the Universe s history from recording the afterglow of the Big Bang to visualising the shadow of a black hole However when it comes to understanding how the Universe began and grew we have literally been in the dark This book tells the story of the Cosmic Dawn the time when the very first stars burst into life These celestial giants were hundreds of times more massive than the Sun and a million times more luminous lonely blue stars that lived fast and died young in enormous explosions seeding the Universe with the elements that would eventually make up life itself First Light illuminates this previously unknown billion year timeline Astrophysicist Emma Chapman tells how these stars formed why they were so unusual and what they can teach us about the universe today She also also gives a first hand look at the immense telescopes that are taking us from the realm of theoretical physics towards the wonder of looking back in time using observational astronomy This revised edition has been updated to contain the latest findings across astronomy from radio interferometry to gravitational waves and contains a brand new chapter covering the triumphant discov

The book that translated the dark and stormy ethos of the gothic novel into the foundation for the tale of modern science fiction now freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co Signature Clothbound Editions line Dr Victor Frankenstein never considers the consequences of his obsession In his zeal to understand and harness the secret of life he neglects his family and friends isolates himself from the world and ignores his own health For years he labors to create a new race of intelligent beings He spends his nights scrounging human and animal body parts from graveyards slaughterhouses and hospital dissection rooms By day he experiments in his secret laboratory learning from his mistakes and perfecting the creature who he believes will worship him as a god But this hubris is not his only sin When he succeeds Frankenstein is horrified by the ugly brutishness of the patchwork being he has brought to life Rather than exult in his accomplishment he runs from it retreating to the comfort of long neglected friends and family Frankenstein has indeed created a monster not by animating dead flesh but by abandoning his creation and planting within it the seeds of rage and loneliness Now the monster is out for revenge

An hourly guide that spotlights twenty four trees as they root flower and host diverse forest life In this short book treetop explorer Meg Lowman guides us through a global forest Each chapter of Tree Day introduces a single tree during a single hour highlighting twenty four species from around the world In the dark of Yemen s night it is too early to see the red sap from which the dragon s blood tree gets its name But if we watch closely we will see nocturnal geckos carry the trees pollen in their snouts Later in the Pacific Northwest we climb the world s tallest species the coastal redwood The morning fog is a reminder that redwoods absorb water through their roots and canopies helping them survive such heights The sun is already low in the sky on an autumn afternoon Given the darkness of this New England forest the sugar maple s leaves have stopped producing chlorophyll that converts light into energy and green gives way to vivid crimson foliage After many hours of boiling the maple sap makes delicious maple syrup As the sun sets in Mexico we observe the origin of another treat chocolate The cocoa tree s flowers sprout along its trunk and branches allowing easy access for tiny insects like midges that pollinate the tree and start the proce

El gran potencial de los métodos estadísticos se ve limitado, en muchas ocasiones, porque no se utilizan correctamente, debido casi siempre, a la falta de esa conexión entre la explicación del método y su utilizacion en problemas reales. En este texto se incluye la aplicacion de metodos de estadistica avanzada a datos reales o datos que podrian llegar a serlo, lo que llamamos nonfiction problems. Otra particularidad de este libro es que esta dividido en cuatro grandes areas de conocimiento: arqueologia y paleontologia; biologia y ciencias ambientales; ciencias de la salud; asi como economia y ciencias sociales, lo que da cuenta de la variedad de temas tratados y su aplicacion en distintos ambitos.

La obsesión de Philip Hoare por las ballenas empezó con una maqueta gigante de una ballena azul que vio de niño en el Museo de Historia Natural de Londres. Como adulto, ha ido al encuentro de las ballenas en libertad en las aguas del Atlantico. Leviatan o la ballena es el resultado de una vida dedicada a estudiar a esos titanes de las profundidades y a intentar comprender el secreto de la fascinacion que ejercen sobre nosotros.Adentrandose en los dominios de estas misteriosas criaturas, Hoare nos las muestra como nunca antes las hemos visto. El autor explora la tormentosa relacion del hombre con las ballenas, visita legendarias zonas balleneras como New Bedford, Nantucket y las Azores, y traza una historia cultural de la ballena que va desde Jonas hasta Liberad a Willy y pasa por la obra de escritores como Hawthorne, Thoreau o, sobre todo, Herman Melville y su Moby Dick. Leviatan o la ballena ha ganado el prestigioso premio BBC Samuel Johnson al mejor libro de No Ficcion y se ha convertido en un best seller en Reino Unido. Este ensayo es una autentica joya que combina historia, biologia y literatura con un estilo tan cautivador que su embrujo perdurara en el lector mucho despues de haberlo terminado.
