Only a book this big could convey the majesty of the ever-expanding universe and provide a glimpse into the ultimate limits of space. Originally published in French in 1997 and updated to include recent developments, this volume takes readers on a unique, scenic exploration of the universe. More than 200 incredible, full-color photographs gathered from the Hubble Space Telescope and the largest telescopes in the world capture the magic and wonder found in the vast expanse of the universe. In a beautiful, large format, containing many full-page color spreads, Majestic Universe allows readers to witness the birth of stars; scan the sky for extrasolar planets; venture near black holes; travel into the realm of galaxies and clusters of galaxies; gauge the vastness of space with Hipparcos; and finally wonder about the history and future of our mysterious universe. Clear, enthusiastic captions accompany each image, providing details on the great theories of the structure of the cosmos; descriptions of the latest advances in cosmology; and a trip into the past in search of the origins of the universe, of space, and of time. Majestice Universe is the ultimate "vehicle" for armchair space buffs to explore the final frontier. Serge Brunier is chief editor of the journal Ciel et Espace, a photo-journalist, and the author of many nonfiction books aimed at both specialists and the general public.

We Believe… A Journey into Christ Consciousness By: Roy E. Bourque After a profound spiritual experience at the age of nine, the author found clarity in some of what the church was teaching, while bringing into question other teachings of the church. Eleven years later, during a nuclear physics lecture, this spiritual experience coincided with what the instructor was teaching. Numerous additional spiritual experiences would soon follow. We Believe… A Journey into Christ Consciousness details the bridge that was formed between science and spirituality from those experiences. Since that time, the author has researched religious history, looking for connections that would correlate modern science with what the ancient writers knew. This endeavor has brought clarity to much of what the church teaches, as well as serving as the basis to weed out misconceptions that have muddied up the waters. This book may serve the reader who is looking for connections between science and religion.

This book is different from all other modern cosmology books in several ways. It introduces a cosmologic universe, which is orderly, logical, and systematic. It teaches and explains by illustrating how a variety of cosmic mysteries have been solved. It raises the status of dark matter in the universe by illuminating its roles as the principal source of energy, the principal source of matter in the form of hydrogen and helium, and the principal source of cosmic relationships with the principal cosmic phenomena of the universe. This book simplifies the universe as Nicolaus Copernicus' book simplified the solar system in 1543. With more and more cosmic mysteries being discovered and the slow progress in solving them, cosmologists and astrophysicists must re-train themselves to understand and to utilize the postmodern unified astrophysical cosmology model and to maximize the knowledge derived from the astronomical data. These are the three principal objectives of this book.

Some of the dimmest years in Walt Whitman’s life precede the advent of Leaves of Grass in 1855, when he was working as a journalist and fiction writer. Starting around 1850, what he’d begun writing in his personal notebooks was far more enigmatic than anything he’d done before. One of Whitman’s most secretive projects during this timeframe was a novel, Life and Adventures of Jack Engle; serialized anonymously in the spring of 1852, and rediscovered and properly published in 2017. The key to the novel’s later discovery were plot notes Whitman had made in one of his private notebooks. Whitman’s invaluable notebooks have been virtually inaccessible to the public, until now. Maintaining the early notebooks’ wild, syncretic feel and sample illustrations of Whitman’s beautiful and unkempt pages, scholars Zachary Turpin and Matt Miller’s thorough transcriptions have made these notebooks available to all; sharing Whitman’s secret space for developing his poetry, his writing, his philosophy, and himself.

"A singular astonishment." —John Lahr, The New Yorker One relationship. Infinite possibilities. In the beginning Marianne and Roland meet at a party. They go for a drink, or perhaps they don't. They fall madly in love and start dating, but eventually they break up. After a chance encounter in a supermarket they get back together, or maybe they run into each other and Marianne reveals that she's now engaged to someone else and that's that. Or perhaps Roland is engaged. Maybe they get married, or maybe their time together will be tragically short. Nick Payne's Constellations is a play about free will and friendship; it's also about quantum multiverse theory, love, and honey.

BOOK INDEX - Picasso’s Painting It is shown, with a beautiful style, which leaves its taste in the mind, that the real valuation of man is only possible with the recognition of the fact that he is a wonder of art, through faith, which means his loyalty to his creator. -The Real Truth, Which Is Brilliant and Beautiful, of the Universe It is told in a very striking example that the person who does not listen to the Divine revelation looks like a person who is just trying to illuminate the darkness in front of him just with a pocket flashlight. - The Source of An Amazing Feeling of Confidence It is discovered with a brilliant example that giving up carrying this burden of life on one's shoulders and leaving it to the power and wisdom of Allah is a great source of confidence. - The Difference of the Man The profound secret, why the human being, unlike animals, needs to learn and improve himself constantly is skilfully removed from where it is hidden and it is brought to the daylight. - Discovery of the Subtle Secret of Supplication/Prayer It is told why the prays are not accepted every time, what the purpose of the pray should be, and what the most beautiful result of the pray is for the human being. -‘On the Concept of “Self Confidence/Reliance” As we try we try to explain the relationship of man with the nature, with the Creator and with himself, we see how misleading this corrupt concept (nature) is. - Small Targets, Low Tastes We sink ourselves into the effort of understanding the relation of the man with life and its tastes. - Big Target, High Tastes We start questioning the life styles and try to look at different styles of lives that we see around ourselves from a different perspective. - Being Suspicious of Our Lifestyle We are trying to realize that the glorious human civilization is actually nothing more that the gathering together of the pieces of a Lego package and we are investigating how we should try to achieve happiness. - A Tremendous Truth Worth Being Discovered It is revealed how the true worth of man has emerged and what kind of a great source of power and wealth it could be. - For Those Who Wonder About the Secret of the Universe Very remarkable answers are given to the questions of what the true nature of man's high duties are and what the essence of the meaningful servitude, which uncovers the secret of existence of the universe, is and it is stated that human being is expected to voluntarily assume these great duties.
