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.

An astonishing exploration of planet formation and the origins of life by one of the world's most innovative planetary geologists. In 1959, the Soviet probe Luna 3 took the first photos of the far side of the moon.

Have you ever wanted to explore the night sky but didn't know how to get started? Discovering the universe can be a daunting hobby when you first begin. Finding out what you need and how you go about observing the cosmos is not immediately obvious. But through a career spanning 40 years as a professional science communicator, Rod Somerville takes you on a journey that bridges the gap between being a complete novice to that of a keen amateur. Offering inspiration, insight, and information in eas

The so-called Clovis Comet that supposedly re-cooled Earth during the event of the Younger Dryas that followed the warming spell at the end of the Pleistocene Ice Age ended up capturing the imagination of both scientists and laymen during the first decade of the twenty-first century. While the present work has much to offer concerning the real cause of that occurrence, it is prefaced with additional evidence in favor of the theoretical model advanced in its three prequels, * in which it is

If controversial subjects are not your cup of tea, read no further and put this book down right now because what this work has to offer is revolutionary in the extreme.

This is demonstrated through ancient texts from all over the world which deal with the astronomical lore of our forebears. As if with a single voice, these texts proclaim that the present p

"Imagining the Spheres" uses newly processed photos from early space missions, and works by leading astronomical artists, past and present. It is a story of human imagination and ingenuity, a narrative that describes how the quest for the answers of tomorrow pushed people to achieve the once impossible and drive human dreams ever forward.

The first-ever comprehensive and integral treatment of Mercury's retrogrades, with a one hundred and twenty-five year ephemeris to track the sequential pattern of the planet Mercury's backward trickster medicine dance.

Was there a beginning of time? It begins by reviewing the great theories of the cosmos from Newton to Einstein, before delving into the secrets which still lie at the heart of space and time, from the Big Bang to black holes, via spiral galaxies and strong theory.
