100 Billion Suns

How are the nuclear power plants we call "stars" formed? Where do they get their energy and how do they die--and what does this suggest about the future of the universe? One of the most popular books written on astrophysics, 100 Billion Suns provides an exhilarating and authoritative life history of the stars.

An eminent astrophysicist presents an analysis of stellar evolution, explaining the origins, life cycle, and death of stars and discussing the future of the universe and the current status of research in astrophysics

A Billion Suns is a wargame of interstellar combat that puts you in command of fleets of powerful starships, from squadrons of agile, but fragile, fighters, to hulking and powerful capital ships. When combined with some spaceship miniatures, a tape measure, a deck of playing cards and some dice, this rulebook provides everything you need to play exciting and tense tabletop games of interstellar exploration and combat. Using simple dice pool mechanics, you must carefully manage your resources and seize the opportunities that come your way in order to lead your fleet to victory and assert your dominance over the stars.

"Think for Yourself! aims a spotlight at the significant but often overlooked difference between intuitive reasoning and logical reasoning. Steve Hindes shows readers how to cut through the tangle of pseudo-information that people are barraged with daily, so they can educate themselves fully on any topic, whether it's current events or family traditions."--BOOK JACKET.

The Universe in Your Hands Project STAR (Science Teaching through its Astronomical Roots) is an astronomy course that also teaches real-world math and physics. Project STAR capitalizes on students' inherent interest in the limitless universe that surrounds them. This second edition uses a new approach that is consistent with the philosophy of the authors: students learn science better by making measurements and observations than by memorizing "facts." Each chapter begins with questions to test preheld views on certain subjects. Students then use measurements and observations to explore the models in the chapters. Questions are sprinkled throughout the book to test understanding along with cartoons to leaven the learning with humor. Hands-on activities play an essential role in this 1-year course. In completing these hands-on activities, students will: make observations of the skies build models use models to explain observations and make predictions find everyday applications for such models The Student Text for Project STAR, Second Edition includes updated information, is easier to use and visually more appealing. The material is laid out with new illustrations for greater clarity and understanding. A color plate section supports activities and text related to the study of spectra. A reference section has also been added. It lists astronomy resources on the web. The Astronomy Explorer CD-ROM is included with the Student Text. This interactive CD-ROM contains movies and animations related to astronomy. The student exercises provide an excellent foundation for understanding the complexities of the universe. A glossary of terms is also part of the CD.

Modern science in the light of Unification Thought. A exploration starting with quantum physics and concluding with the origin of mankind.

The collectors' information and articles in the International UFO Library Magazine published decades ago where the effort and prodigy of traveling to over twenty countries around the world with Emmy award winning film crews for over five years by Writer, Executive Producer, Joseph J Randazzo and Company. Hundreds of one-on-one interviews were conducted to seek out and amass a library of information questioning the UFO / ET subject matter with a goal to question and then compare cases, notes and references from Researchers, Abductees and Contactees. The information collected was far ahead of its time and still shows a straightforward presentation to learn form. Let us learn from this information and grow into the absolute best we can become as a humanity. And always acknowledging and thankful for the endless work.
