The latest volume in The New York Times bestselling physics series explains Einstein's masterpiece- the general theory of relativity He taught us classical mechanics, quantum mechanics and special relativity. Now, physicist Leonard Susskind, assisted by a new collaborator, Andre Cabannes, returns to tackle Einstein's general theory of relativity. Starting from the equivalence principle and covering the necessary mathematics of Riemannian spaces and tensor calculus, Susskind and Cabannes explai

I have been observing the Earth since mankind first walked erect and used its first weapon. I am not human and do not take a human form. Eons ago, in Earth time, my species left behind our corporeal form and freed ourselves to roam the universe. I was sent here to observe and report on the evolution of the beings that inhabit this planet. I have recently again reported back on my observations. Set out below is a summary of that report, re-interpreted into English for human understanding. M

"Another masterpiece" (BoingBoing), by Theodore Gray, How Things Work explores the inner workings of machines, big and small, revealing the extraordinary science, beauty, and rich history of everyday things.

This book introduces water rockets, model rockets, and space rocket applications, and then goes beyond rockets to future ways to launch payloads. Emphasis is a light graphical flow of ideas.

Join a grandfather with his grandchildren as they research an extremely important question that applies to everyone in the world. Are you an 'intelligent animal' or a 'created human being'? First they look at the Theory of Evolution, the Big Bang Theory and the Primordial Soup Theory, asking the questions: Is it mathematically possible? Does it pass the irreducible complexity test? And could the 'spark of life' have happened spontaneously? The group concluded that Mr. Charles Darwin made A

Wild Chinook salmon, some migrating more than 900 miles to the ocean from the high mountains of Idaho, once made up nearly 50% of the Columbia River Basin's salmon runs. In 2020, and over the last twenty years, wild Chinook in Idaho have been in crisis, placed on the endangered species list, and face the growing threat of extinction. In fact, only 2 % of Idaho's wild Chinook population remains. This is not only a crisis for this Idaho salmon but also for biodiversity in the Pacific Northwest. S
