The alien pointed to them, then made a motion to remove their helmets. As the figure came closer, they could see that it was like nothing in the known universe: a human torso, incredibly broad, an oval-shaped head with a huge white walrus mustache, six arms spaced in rows down the torso, and the torso melding into a huge serpentine lower half five or more meters in length.įor what seemed forever, they just stared at each other-these four humans in ghostly white pressure suits and this creature of some incredibly alien spawning. They could see a giant figure coming toward them, and all stepped back to the rear edge of the platform. ![]() "Looks like somebody's coming to meet us," Nathan Brazil said jokingly, a tone that didn't match his inner feelings at all. ![]() ![]() Refusing to accept the authority of previous philosophers, Descartes frequently set his views apart from the philosophers who preceded him. In his theology, he insists on the absolute freedom of God's act of creation. In his natural philosophy, he differed from the schools on two major points: first, he rejected the splitting of corporeal substance into matter and form second, he rejected any appeal to final ends, divine or natural, in explaining natural phenomena. Many elements of Descartes' philosophy have precedents in late Aristotelianism, the revived Stoicism of the 16th century, or in earlier philosophers like Augustine. Although he served a Protestant state and was later counted as a Deist by critics, Descartes was Roman Catholic. Descartes spent much of his working life in the Dutch Republic, initially serving the Dutch States Army, later becoming a central intellectual of the Dutch Golden Age. ![]() Mathematics was central to his method of inquiry, and he connected the previously separate fields of geometry and algebra into analytic geometry. ![]() ![]() René Descartes ( / d eɪ ˈ k ɑːr t/ or UK: / ˈ d eɪ k ɑːr t/ French: ( listen) Latinized: Renatus Cartesius 31 March 1596 – 11 February 1650) : 58 was a French philosopher, scientist, and mathematician, widely considered a seminal figure in the emergence of modern philosophy and science. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sullivan, the first American woman to walk in space, recounts how she and other astronauts, engineers, and scientists launched, rescued, repaired, and maintained Hubble, the most productive observatory ever built.Īlong the way, Sullivan chronicles her early life as a “Sputnik Baby,” her path to NASA through oceanography, and her initiation into the space program as one of “thirty-five new guys.” (She was also one of the first six women to join NASA’s storied astronaut corps.) She describes in vivid detail what liftoff feels like inside a spacecraft (it’s like “being in an earthquake and a fighter jet at the same time”), shows us the view from a spacewalk, and recounts the temporary grounding of the shuttle program after the Challenger disaster. In Handprints on Hubble, retired astronaut Kathryn Sullivan describes her work on the NASA team that made all this possible. It has, among many other achievements, revealed thousands of galaxies in what seemed to be empty patches of sky transformed our knowledge of black holes found dwarf planets with moons orbiting other stars and measured precisely how fast the universe is expanding. ![]() The Hubble Space Telescope has revolutionized our understanding of the universe.

When she helps the natives, she cannot hide her feeling of superiority. Much as Blixen’s novel is a memoir, she cannot avoid discursive colonization because she presents an exotic and romanticised view of Africa. Even though its content and its narrator-protagonist respectively render Out of Africa suitable for both postcolonial and autobiographical analysis, the present study examines the narrator-protagonist as the female colonizer within postcolonial framework. The novel, written through first person narration, recounts her seventeen-year-experience in Kenya as a plantation owner in which she describes the African population and landscape at length. Karen von Blixen-Finecke (1885-1962) aka Isak Dinesen’s Out of Africa (1937) is a document of her life as a colonial settler in Kenya where she establishes a coffee plantation in her prime. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It would prove to be a beacon throughout the twentieth century, important to Ernest Rutherford, who discovered the structure of the atom, Enrico Fermi, who probed the nucleus, and Lise Meitner, who finally understood how atoms could be split wide open.

Already climbing the bestseller lists-and garnering rave reviews-this "little masterpiece" sheds brilliant light on the equation that changed the world.īodanis begins by devoting chapters to each of the equation's letters and symbols, introducing the science and scientists forming the backdrop to Einstein's discovery-from Ole Roemer's revelation that the speed of light could be measured to Michael Faraday's pioneering work on energy fields. ![]() ![]() ![]() Perfect for fans of The Last Magician and Descendant of the Crane, this heart-stopping debut is an imaginative Romeo and Juliet retelling set in 1920s Shanghai, with rival gangs and a monster in the depths of the Huangpu River.īabe, wake up, someone published a twitter thread critiquing capitalism's ongoing effects on young writers convinced they must publish before they're actually ready and it prompted chloe gong to drop a sulky, self-absorbed essay about how we're all really just jealous that we aren't published authors. As the deaths stack up, Juliette and Roma must set their guns-and grudges-aside and work together, for if they can’t stop this mayhem, then there will be no city left for either to rule. ![]() And behind every move is their heir, Roma Montagov, Juliette’s first love…and first betrayal.īut when gangsters on both sides show signs of instability culminating in clawing their own throats out, the people start to whisper.
