Brought to you by Penguin. For thousands of years, humans have wondered whether we're alone in the cosmos. Now, for the first time, we have the technology to investigate. The question should have an obvious answer: yes or no. But once you try to find life elsewhere, you realize it is not so...

Rhodes explores the origin and evolution of living things, the changing environments in which they have developed, and the challenges we now face on an increasingly crowded and polluted planet.

What does it mean to be female? Mother, carer, the weaker sex? Think again. In the last few decades a revolution has been brewing in zoology and evolutionary biology. Lucy Cooke introduces us to a riotous cast of animals, and the scientists studying them, that are redefining the female of the species. Meet the female lemurs of Madagascar, our ancient primate cousins that dominate the males of their species physically and politically. Or female albatross couples, hooking up together to raise their chicks in Hawaii.

In this epochal book, Immanuel Velikovsky, one of the great scientists of modern times, puts the complete histories of our Earth and of humanity on a new basis. He presents the results of his 10-year-long interdisciplinary research in an easily understandable, even entertaining manner. In spite - or even because - of the disgraceful hostility provoked by his theories, this book keeps being of ardent topicality, which in the light of recent scientific research is even growing.

Weathering the storm is a svswx.com podcast with me, your host, Sara. WTS is committed to sharing research, data analysis, updates, discussions and information about severe weather events in the United States.

In diesem Podcast geht es um Paläontologie, genauer gesagt das Mesozoikum, sprich den Zeitraum in dem die großen nicht – Vogel Dinosaurier ihr Unwesen trieben. Es geht aber nicht nur um diesen Zeitraum, sondern auch um Grundlagen der Geologie, Paläontologie, um Pop-kulturelles, geschichtliches und mehr. Der Podcast soll die Lücke zwischen dem wissenschaftlichen und dem allgemein Interessierten schließen.

Macht euch die Erde untertan«: Vor rund 3000 Jahren legte der Autor der Genesis seinem Schöpfer diesen Satz in den Mund. Damit war die Idee geboren, dass der Mensch eine Sonderstellung auf der Erde einnimmt und deren Ressourcen rücksichtslos ausbeuten darf. Sie war so stark, dass sie sich über den ganzen Planeten verbreitete. Wer sich ihr widersetzte, bekam es mit Kolonisatoren und Geschäftemachern zu tun, die sich auf angeblich höhere Werte beriefen.

La Continuité Cellulaire De la Singularité à l'Entrechoquement des Mondes I. La Loi de la Naissance Tout effondrement est un accouchement. Là où le monde semble finir (la Singularité), il ne fait que se concentrer pour forcer le passage. Le Trou Noir n'est pas une tombe, mais la porte de sortie vers la dimension suivante. II. Le Devenir du Colon Le colon n'est pas un fichier, c’est une essence. Pour franchir le seuil, il abandonne le superflu et devient un point mathématique pur. Il comprend l'Évidence : l'univers n'est pas un lieu, mais une étape de sa propre expansion. III. La ...
