Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From “an exceptional storyteller,” Somewhere in the Unknown World is a collection of powerful stories of refugees who have found new lives in Minnesota’s Twin Cities, told by the award-winning author of The Latehomecomer and The Song Poet. All over this country, there are refugees. But beyond the headlines, few know who they are, how they live, or what they have lost. Although Minnesota is not known for its diversity, the state has welcomed more refugees per capita than any other, from Syria to Bosnia, Thailand to Liberia. Now, with nativism on the rise, Kao Kalia Yang—herself a Hmong refugee—has gathered stories of the stateless who today call the Twin Cities home. Here are people who found the strength and courage to rebuild after leaving all they hold dear. Awo and her mother, who escaped from Somalia, reunite with her father on the phone every Saturday, across the span of continents and decades. Tommy, born in Minneapolis to refugees from Cambodia, cannot escape the war that his parents carry inside. As Afghani flees the reach of the Taliban, he seeks at every stop what he calls a certificate of his humanity. Mr. Truong brings pho from Vietnam to Frogtown in St. Paul, reviving a crumbling block as well as his own family. In Yang’s exquisite, necessary telling, these fourteen stories for refugee journeys restore history and humanity to America's strangers and redeem its long tradition of welcome.

Book excerpt: What is the purpose of life on Earth? Philosopher Jacob Needleman frames man's role on the planet in a completely new and fresh way, moving beyond the usual environmental concerns to reveal how the care and maintenance of a world is something vital and basic to our existence as authentic human beings. In some of his most deeply affecting writing, Needleman draws on his childhood experiences with a terminally ill friend whose impending death forces the young boys to face questions of the meaning of existence at an early age—questions that Needleman carried with him in his explorations of science and philosophy throughout his career as a scholar of religions. The conclusions that he reaches will give all of us a new sense of the purpose of our lives and the planet we live on.

Book excerpt: Exoplanets explored until April,2023 5332 Confirmed 9432 NASA candidates 3999 Planetary systems As humans, we have always been fascinated by the unknown, the unexplored, and the unfamiliar. This curiosity has led us to explore the vast expanse of space and the wonders it holds. Among the countless mysteries of the cosmos, one of the most intriguing and captivating is the existence of exoplanets - planets beyond our solar system. The discovery of exoplanets has opened up a whole new realm of possibilities and raised many questions about the universe we live in. In just a few decades, our understanding of exoplanets has rapidly expanded, from the first discovery of a planet orbiting a pulsar in 1992 to the thousands of exoplanets discovered to date. In this book, we delve into the fascinating world of exoplanets, exploring the different types of exoplanets, their properties, and their potential for habitability. We will journey through the vast expanse of the universe to explore some of the most interesting and unusual exoplanets discovered so far. From planets with three suns to those that rain glass, each exoplanet has a unique story waiting to be uncovered. As we explore the wonders of these distant worlds, we will also delve into the methods and techniques used to discover exoplanets, the challenges facing exoplanet research, and the future of exoplanet studies. With each new discovery, our understanding of the universe grows, and the mysteries of the cosmos become a little less mysterious. This book is intended for anyone who is fascinated by the universe and the mysteries it holds, from amateur astronomers to professional scientists. It is my hope that this book will inspire a sense of wonder and curiosity about the universe and encourage readers to continue exploring the mysteries of exoplanets and beyond.

Book excerpt: Are humans a galactic oddity, or will complex life with human abilities develop on planets with environments that remain habitable for long enough? In a clear, jargon-free style, two leading researchers in the burgeoning field of astrobiology critically examine the major evolutionary steps that led us from the distant origins of life to the technologically advanced species we are today. Are the key events that took life from simple cells to astronauts unique occurrences that would be unlikely to occur on other planets? By focusing on what life does - it's functional abilities - rather than specific biochemistry or anatomy, the authors provide plausible answers to this question. Systematically exploring the various pathways that led to the complex biosphere we experience on planet Earth, they show that most of the steps along that path are likely to occur on any world hosting life, with only two exceptions: One is the origin of life itself – if this is a highly improbable event, then we live in a rather “empty universe”. However, if this isn’t the case, we inevitably live in a universe containing a myriad of planets hosting complex as well as microbial life - a “cosmic zoo”. The other unknown is the rise of technologically advanced beings, as exemplified on Earth by humans. Only one technological species has emerged in the roughly 4 billion years life has existed on Earth, and we don’t know of any other technological species elsewhere. If technological intelligence is a rare, almost unique feature of Earth's history, then there can be no visitors to the cosmic zoo other than ourselves. Schulze-Makuch and Bains take the reader through the history of life on Earth, laying out a consistent and straightforward framework for understanding why we should think that advanced, complex life exists on planets other than Earth. They provide a unique perspective on the question that puzzled the human species for centuries: are we alone?

Download or read book The Hunt for Planet X written by Govert Schilling and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-01-24 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the serendipitous discovery of planet Uranus in 1871, astronomers have been hunting for new worlds in the outer regions of our solar system. This exciting and ongoing quest culminated recently in the discovery of hundreds of ice dwarfs in the Kuiper belt, robbed Pluto from its ‘planet’ status, and led to a better understanding of the origin of the solar system. This timely book reads like a scientific ‘who done it’, going from the heights of discovery to the depths of disappointment in the hunt for ‘Planet X’. Based on many personal interviews with astronomers, the well-known science writer Govert Schilling introduces the heroes in the race to be the first in finding another world, bigger than Pluto.
