Croatian Barrel Theory
How did life begin? Why does Venus rotate backwards? Where does Earth's water come from? When it comes to nature and the cosmos, we have more questions than answers. While we've established theories, we have no discernable truth. Author Mike Laus strives to change that. Croatian Barrel Theory: Origin of the Solar System and Theory of First Cell on Earth proposes two new theories. The first tackles the origin of our solar system. Grounded in Laus's cultural heritage, the Croatian Barrel Theory uses the shape of a wine barrel to explain how our solar system, stars, and other celestial bodies were created. It proposes a systematic development for our solar system, with celestial bodies emerging at varying times. The second theory seeks to debunk the existing theory of how the first cell on Earth was formed. Instead of amino acid, the first cell was formed in the air.From the origins of celestial bodies and how water came to Earth to how bees use the power of the Sun, Laus challenges current scientific thinking. No subject is impervious. Through analysis and comprehensive figures, he encourages us to view our world in different ways. We can find solutions if we think creatively. Thought-provoking and unique, Croatian Barrel Theory seeks to answer the unanswerable.

ToE Seed
Have you ever looked up at a starry night sky and felt, deep down, that your own mind is somehow entwined with the cosmos? ToE Seed: Singular Baseline takes that feeling seriously - and explores it with scientific rigor and philosophical depth. This book presents the Poia Theory of Everything (Poia stands for 'Point of It All'), a framework that bridges the precise insights of modern science with the timeless wisdom of spiritual inquiry. It suggests that our universe is more than a cold collection of particles; it's a living, participatory cosmos where consciousness plays an integral role. In clear, accessible prose, Haden A. Snjougla guides the reader through ideas at once cutting-edge and ancient. He reinterprets cosmic mysteries - from the invisible 'dark matter' that fills the galaxies to the quantum observer effect - through a startling new lens: a unified field of consciousness. Reality, he proposes, arises from a dynamic interplay of energy, frequency, and vibration - a trinity at the heart of existence. In this view, mind and matter are deeply interconnected. Resonance and coherence become more than scientific terms; they describe how our thoughts might harmonize with physical forces, how the act of observation shapes the world around us. Yet ToE Seed: Singular Baseline is as contemplative as it is ambitious. It asks "What is the point of it all?" and invites you to consider answers that honor both logic and wonder. Snjougla writes with a rare balance: scientific precision without jargon, and philosophical vision without vagueness. He explores self-reference in nature - the universe observing itself through our eyes - and introduces concepts like syntropy (a principle of order and purpose countering entropy) in a way that feels insightful and hopeful. Above all, this book never loses sight of the human element. Every concept circles back to why it matters for us - how expanding our view of reality can inspire personal meaning, ethical progress, and a sense of connection with the whole. For the thoughtful reader hungry for a truly integrative understanding, ToE Seed: Singular Baseline offers a transformative perspective. It's a work that doesn't just inform; it resonates. By uniting mind and matter, physics and metaphysics, the measurable and the meaningful, it dares to illuminate the age-old question of why we are here - and what part we play in the unfolding of existence.
Our Moon
LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD - NATIONAL BESTSELLER - "A riveting feat of science writing that recasts that most familiar of celestial objects into something eerily extraordinary, pivotal to our history, and awesome in the original sense of the word."--Ed Yong, New York Times bestselling author of An Immense World WINNER OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE - A NEW YORKER AND SMITHSONIAN BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR - A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Many of us know that the Moon pulls on our oceans, driving the tides, but did you know that it smells like gunpowder? Or that it was essential to the development of science and religion? Acclaimed journalist Rebecca Boyle takes readers on a dazzling tour to reveal the intimate role that our 4.51-billion-year-old companion has played in our biological and cultural evolution. Our Moon's gravity stabilized Earth's orbit--and its climate. It drew nutrients to the surface of the primordial ocean, where they fostered the evolution of complex life. The Moon continues to influence animal migration and reproduction, plants' movements, and, possibly, the flow of the very blood in our veins. While the Sun helped prehistoric hunters and gatherers mark daily time, early civilizations used the phases of the Moon to count months and years, allowing them to plan farther ahead. Mesopotamian priests recorded the Moon's position in order to make predictions, and, in the process, created the earliest known empirical, scientific observations. In Our Moon, Boyle introduces us to ancient astronomers and major figures of the scientific revolution, including Johannes Kepler and his influential lunar science fiction. Our relationship to the Moon changed when Apollo astronauts landed on it in 1969, and it's about to change again. As governments and billionaires aim to turn a profit from its resources, Rebecca Boyle shows us that the Moon belongs to everybody, and nobody at all.

Cloud Warriors
The unprecedented inside story of the people pushing boundaries of science and technology to build better weather forecasts--providing life-saving warnings and crucial intelligence about nature's deadliest threats Killer tornadoes. Catastrophic hurricanes. Lethal heat waves. Across the United States and around the world, extreme weather events bring an unending torrent of death and destruction. One indispensable tool consistently offers the ability to help reduce the impact of these calamities: the weather forecast. For centuries, humans have sought to foretell nature's next moves, from ancient farmers to trailblazers of the Space Age, who brought computers and satellites to bear on the problem. Now a new wave of advances, including artificial intelligence and data-gathering drones, makes it possible to accurately detect these fearsome events further in advance. They provide critical time to prepare and get people out of harm's way--an undertaking made ever more urgent by the effects of climate change. In a remarkable tale of innovation and perseverance, veteran journalist Thomas E. Weber takes readers into the world of the pioneers creating these game-changing forecasts. From storm chasers racing to hunt twisters and physicists unraveling the secrets of the atmosphere, from scientists studying how people react to warnings to humanitarian groups rushing to avert famines, Weber goes behind the scenes to show how predictions keep getting better. He explains what's needed to turn these forecasts into actions that prevent tragedies and how anyone can become more weather literate to protect themselves in emergencies. Cloud Warriors will change the way you think about treacherous weather--and the power of being able to see it coming.

Cosmic Fragments
Looking beyond the well-trodden, celebratory narratives of space exploration and the powerful nostalgia of lunar landings, Cosmic Fragments focuses instead on the moral ambiguities of spaceflight. Beyond the fetishization of machines, men, and manifest destiny and the Cold War tensions of the space race lies a history rife with violence, racial inequity, colonial ambitions, and catastrophe. This volume yields new insights on the crucial role of environmental damage, Indigenous dispossession, population displacements, infrastructural entanglements, and narratives of decline in space exploration situated within larger questions in the history of science, technology, and the environment. Each chapter explores histories of space travel across nations and regions to better understand the destructive power of infrastructure, waste, and exploitative legal regimes at the height of the space age. Drawing from postcolonial science studies, science and technology studies, and anthropology, contributors suggest that phenomena designed to disenfranchise and dislocate, such as the displacement of Indigenous peoples, were deeply imbedded in the coloniality of space travel. By confronting and challenging problematic early accounts rooted in the cultural mores of settler colonialism, Cosmic Fragments offers a fundamental repositioning of the history of spaceflight.

CELESTIAL IMAGES by The Moon Lady -- Doris Fulton
CELESTIAL IMAGES by The Moon Lady, Doris Fulton, is a unique astrophotography book which includes photos of the Moon and deep sky objects such as the Orion Nebula. Of interest, the author is an amateur and did not begin this endeavor until she reached her 60s, retirement age. She eventually procured three telescopes in total, the first of which was bought for her by her late astronomy husband, Ken Fulton, The Light-Hearted Astronomer. She learned how to take these spectacular heavenly photos and download them onto social media platforms. She has taken so many lunar images that she became known as "The Moon Lady". This is not a scientific book but her objective is to demonstrate that astrophotography can be fun and simple. She started out using one 6-inch Orion StarBlast telescope and a hand-held Nikon Coolpix camera held to the eyepiece of the telescope. She has recently extended her lunar interests to deep sky using her Seestar S50. In August of 2024, she actually took a picture of the Comet Tsuchinshan - ATLAS. Always look up.... Happy Trails from The Moon Lady!
