Beyond Earth

Our Path to a New Home in the Planets

By: Charles Wohlforth,Amanda R. Hendrix, Ph.D.

We are at the cusp of a golden age in space science, as increasingly more entrepreneurs—Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos—are seduced by the commercial potential of human access to space. But Beyond Earth does not offer another wide-eyed technology fantasy: instead, it is grounded not only in the human capacity for invention and the appeal of adventure, but also in the bureaucratic, political, and scientific realities that present obstacles to space travel—realities that have hampered NASA's efforts ever since the Challenger disaster. In Beyond Earth, the authors offer groundbreaking research and argue persuasively that not Mars, but Titan—a moon of Saturn with a nitrogen atmosphere, a weather cycle, and an inexhaustible supply of cheap energy—offers the most realistic, and thrilling, prospect of life without support from Earth.

Beyond Earth

Our Path to a New Home in the Planets

By: Charles Wohlforth,Amanda R. Hendrix, Ph.D.

From a leading planetary scientist and an award-winning science writer, a propulsive account of the developments and initiatives that have transformed the dream of space colonization into something that may well be achievable. We are at the cusp of a golden age in space science, as increasingly more entrepreneurs—Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos—are seduced by the commercial potential of human access to space. But Beyond Earth does not offer another wide-eyed technology fantasy: instead, it is grounded not only in the human capacity for invention and the appeal of adventure but also in the bureaucratic, political, and scientific realities that present obstacles to space travel—realities that have hampered NASA’s efforts ever since the Challenger disaster. In Beyond Earth, Charles Wohlforth and Amanda R.Hendrix offer groundbreaking research and argue persuasively that not Mars, but Titan—a moon of Saturn with a nitrogen atmosphere, a weather cycle, and an inexhaustible supply of cheap energy, where we will even be able to fly like birds in the minimal gravitational field—offers the most realistic and thrilling prospect of life without support from Earth. (With 8 pages of color illustrations)

Psicología oscura

Engaño, influencia y narcisismo explicados

By: Amanda Grapes

Este libro combinado consta de 3 títulos, que son estos: Libro 1: ¿Cuál es el lado oscuro de la naturaleza humana? Temas como estos serán discutidos en este breve pero informativo libro. Se abordarán temas como el acoso escolar, la esquizofrenia, otros trastornos de la personalidad y la violencia doméstica. Por último, pero no menos importante, sus pensamientos se verán alterados sobre los mentirosos y el dilema ético de decir mentiras. En este sentido, este libro le muestra una variedad de temas interrelacionados que darán forma a su punto de vista sobre dichos temas. Libro 2: En este libro, aprenderá más sobre la cultura en la que vivimos hoy. ¿Nos están lavando el cerebro los medios de comunicación? ¿Cómo nos afectan las redes sociales? No solo vamos a sumergirnos en estos temas específicos, sino que también hablaremos sobre cultos reales. Los cultos han existido por mucho tiempo. Algunos incluso ven la relación entre cultos y religiones reales. ¿Pero por qué los cultos son tan oscuros y aterradores? ¿Cómo hacen los líderes de culto hacer que la gente crea en algo que no es verdad, o hacer que hagan cosas que nunca habrían hecho antes de que les lavaran el cerebro? Libro 3: Hombres y mujeres no son lo mismo. Todos sabemos que piensan de manera diferente. Pero, ¿cómo usan esos patrones de pensamiento para obtener lo que quieren? ¿Cómo persuaden al otro género para que les dé lo que desean? Aquí es donde algo de psicología humana será útil. Las diferencias se abordarán en el primer capítulo de este libro.

Heavy Flow

Breaking the Curse of Menstruation

By: Amanda Laird

Finalist for the 2020 Kobo Emerging Writer Prize in Nonfiction What do you know about your menstrual cycle? Your menstrual cycle is your fifth vital sign — a barometer of health and wellness that is as telling as your pulse or blood pressure. Yet most of us see our periods as nothing more than a source of inconvenience and embarrassment. The reasons for this are vast and complex and many are rooted in misogyny. The fact is, women the world over are taught the bare minimum about menstruation, and the messages they do receive are negative: that periods are painful and gross, that they turn us into hormonal messes, and that they shouldn't be discussed. By examining the history of period shame and stigma and its effects on women’s health and wellness today as well as providing a crash course in menstrual self-care, Heavy Flow aims to lift the veil on menstruation, breaking the "curse" once and for all.
