The Story of Our Amazing Universe
Author: Athar Shareef
Publisher: Grosvenor House Publishing
ISBN: 1839759364
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 393
Book Description
Our Universe is amazing. This is its story, told in simple language. The story tells how the Universe came to be what it is today. It starts with the Big Bang and describes how stars, black holes, and our solar system developed. It explores the evolution of life on Earth and investigates the possibility of extra-terrestrial life. It peers into the future and wonders about the Universe's likely old age and death, or whatever else may be its end. The challenge the book takes up is to explain all of this, including some of the astonishing concepts we have in science, such as Einstein's theories of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, using virtually no mathematics and without dumbing-down. All are described narratively and explained using examples and anecdotes. The book is written for young people with a thirst for learning about the science of space, as well as for 'grown-ups' who want a better understanding of this fascinating subject.

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
A girl's friendship with a lonely black hole leads her to face her own sadness in this original, funny, and touching middle grade novel for fans of Crenshaw and Flora & Ulysses. When eleven-year-old Stella Rodriguez shows up at NASA to request that her recording be included in Carl Sagan's Golden Record, something unexpected happens: A black hole follows her home, and sets out to live in her house as a pet. The black hole swallows everything he touches, which is challenging to say the least—but also turns out to be a convenient way to get rid of those items that Stella doesn't want around. Soon the ugly sweaters her aunt has made for her all disappear within the black hole, as does the smelly class hamster she's taking care of, and most important, all the reminders of her dead father that are just too painful to have around. It's not until Stella, her younger brother, Cosmo, the family puppy, and even the bathroom tub all get swallowed up by the black hole that Stella comes to realize she has been letting her own grief consume her. And that's not the only thing she realizes as she attempts to get back home. This is an astonishingly original and funny adventure with a great big heart.

Book Description
This book is written with consideration to people who love their GOD and their HIGHER POWER. This book does not intend blasphemy to GOD. My intentions were to write down my perspective about my faith. I do sin and go through trouble. I am still trying to figure it out, the advice someone gave me was write it down. The advice I gave myself is to sell what I have written. I share with you the method I stand with GOD. The natural assumption I have made when my age was a single digit when I heard that there is power beyond my reckoning. The all black cover is to portray blank space in its entirely allowing GOD to stand in solitaire of Oneself. But when you read the book, you will discover that GOD is more than all black blank space.
