Author: Giles Sparrow
Publisher: Nieuw Amsterdam
ISBN: 9464041986
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
Een bonbonnetje van een boek over ons universum en de sterrenkunde Wanneer je op een heldere nacht omhoog kijkt, kun je duizenden sterren aan de hemel zien staan. Elke ster kent een eigen verhaal dat ons uitleg geeft over het ogenschijnlijk oneindige universum. Aan de hand van 21 van deze sterren - plus 3 bedriegers die feitelijk gezien geen sterren zijn - beschrijft sterrenkundige Giles Sparrow de geschiedenis van het heelal, van het ontstaan tot de meest recente ontdekkingen en inzichten. Over zwarte gaten, supernova's, witte dwergsterren en rode superreuzen; over bekende sterren als de Poolster en de zon: wie nieuwsgierig is naar de wereld buiten onze aarde, gaat in dit boek mee op de ontdekkingstocht die generaties van wetenschappers eerder aflegden. Sparrow geeft bovendien aanwijzingen voor het sterrenkijken zelf. Doe zoals Albert Einstein al adviseerde: 'Kijk naar de sterren en leer van ze.' * onder redactie van wetenschapsjournalist Govert Schilling * hét cadeau voor elke sterrenliefhebber * aantrekkelijk laagdrempelige uitleg * mooi gebonden en geïllustreerd boek met fonkelende gouden sterren 'Dankzij goed gekozen voorbeelden, een feilloos taalgevoel en een mespuntje Britse humor is deze geschiedenis van ons heelal een heel plezierig en laagdrempelig boek dat uitpuilt van de interessante informatie.' - Govert Schilling, auteur van De olifant in het universum

The Black Church
Author: Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1984880349
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
The instant New York Times bestseller and companion book to the PBS series. “Absolutely brilliant . . . A necessary and moving work.” —Eddie S. Glaude, Jr., author of Begin Again “Engaging. . . . In Gates’s telling, the Black church shines bright even as the nation itself moves uncertainly through the gloaming, seeking justice on earth—as it is in heaven.” —Jon Meacham, New York Times Book Review From the New York Times bestselling author of Stony the Road and one of our most important voices on the African American experience comes a powerful new history of the Black church as a foundation of Black life and a driving force in the larger freedom struggle in America. For the young Henry Louis Gates, Jr., growing up in a small, residentially segregated West Virginia town, the church was a center of gravity—an intimate place where voices rose up in song and neighbors gathered to celebrate life's blessings and offer comfort amid its trials and tribulations. In this tender and expansive reckoning with the meaning of the Black Church in America, Gates takes us on a journey spanning more than five centuries, from the intersection of Christianity and the transatlantic slave trade to today’s political landscape. At road’s end, and after Gates’s distinctive meditation on the churches of his childhood, we emerge with a new understanding of the importance of African American religion to the larger national narrative—as a center of resistance to slavery and white supremacy, as a magnet for political mobilization, as an incubator of musical and oratorical talent that would transform the culture, and as a crucible for working through the Black community’s most critical personal and social issues. In a country that has historically afforded its citizens from the African diaspora tragically few safe spaces, the Black Church has always been more than a sanctuary. This fact was never lost on white supremacists: from the earliest days of slavery, when enslaved people were allowed to worship at all, their meetinghouses were subject to surveillance and destruction. Long after slavery’s formal eradication, church burnings and bombings by anti-Black racists continued, a hallmark of the violent effort to suppress the African American struggle for equality. The past often isn’t even past—Dylann Roof committed his slaughter in the Mother Emanuel AME Church 193 years after it was first burned down by white citizens of Charleston, South Carolina, following a thwarted slave rebellion. But as Gates brilliantly shows, the Black church has never been only one thing. Its story lies at the heart of the Black political struggle, and it has produced many of the Black community’s most notable leaders. At the same time, some churches and denominations have eschewed political engagement and exemplified practices of exclusion and intolerance that have caused polarization and pain. Those tensions remain today, as a rising generation demands freedom and dignity for all within and beyond their communities, regardless of race, sex, or gender. Still, as a source of faith and refuge, spiritual sustenance and struggle against society’s darkest forces, the Black Church has been central, as this enthralling history makes vividly clear.

Annihilation
Author: Jeff VanderMeer
Publisher: FSG Originals
ISBN: 0374710775
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM ALEX GARLAND, STARRING NATALIE PORTMAN AND OSCAR ISAAC The Southern Reach Trilogy begins with Annihilation, the Nebula Award-winning novel that "reads as if Verne or Wellsian adventurers exploring a mysterious island had warped through into a Kafkaesque nightmare world" (Kim Stanley Robinson). Area X has been cut off from the rest of the continent for decades. Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilization. The first expedition returned with reports of a pristine, Edenic landscape; the second expedition ended in mass suicide; the third expedition in a hail of gunfire as its members turned on one another. The members of the eleventh expedition returned as shadows of their former selves, and within weeks, all had died of cancer. In Annihilation, the first volume of Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach trilogy, we join the twelfth expedition. The group is made up of four women: an anthropologist; a surveyor; a psychologist, the de facto leader; and our narrator, a biologist. Their mission is to map the terrain, record all observations of their surroundings and of one another, and, above all, avoid being contaminated by Area X itself. They arrive expecting the unexpected, and Area X delivers—they discover a massive topographic anomaly and life forms that surpass understanding—but it's the surprises that came across the border with them and the secrets the expedition members are keeping from one another that change everything.
