The Rock From Mars
Author: Kathy Sawyer
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1588365271
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
In this riveting book, acclaimed journalist Kathy Sawyer reveals the deepest mysteries of space and some of the most disturbing truths on Earth. The Rock from Mars is the story of how two planets and the spheres of politics and science all collided at the end of the twentieth century. It began sixteen million years ago. An asteroid crashing into Mars sent fragments flying into space and, eons later, one was pulled by the Earth’s gravity onto an icy wilderness near the southern pole. There, in 1984, a geologist named Roberta Score spotted it, launching it on a roundabout path to fame and controversy. In its new home at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, the rock languished on a shelf for nine years, a victim of mistaken identity. Then, in 1993, the geochemist Donald “Duck” Mittlefehldt, unmasked the rock as a Martian meteorite. Before long, specialist Chris Romanek detected signs of once-living organisms on the meteorite. And the obscure rock became a rock star. But how did nine respected investigators come to make such startling claims about the rock that they triggered one of the most venomous scientific battles in modern memory? The narrative traces the steps that led to this risky move and follows the rippling impact on the scientists’ lives, the future of space exploration, the search for life on Mars, and the struggle to understand the origins of life on Earth. From the second the story broke in Science magazine in 1996, it spawned waves of excitement, envy, competitive zeal, and calculation. In academia, in government agencies, in laboratories around the world, and even in the Oval Office–where an inquisitive President Clinton had received the news in secret– players of all kinds plotted their next moves. Among them: David McKay, the dynamic geologist associated with the first moon landing, who labored to achieve at long last a second success; Bill Schopf of UCLA, a researcher determined to remain at the top of his field and the first to challenge McKay’s claims; Dan Goldin, the boss of NASA; and Dick Morris, the controversial presidential adviser who wanted to use the story for Clinton’s reelection and unfortunately made sure it ended up in the diary of a $200-an-hour call girl. Impeccably researched and thrillingly involving, Kathy Sawyer’s The Rock from Mars is an exemplary work of modern nonfiction, a vivid account of the all-too-human high-stakes drive to learn our true place in the cosmic scheme.

With the thrones of the Sovereign Five broken, the Kingdom sits on the brink of ruin. A new threat rises from the north — an alliance between two rulers.

Forced to choose between avenging his village and protecting those he loves, Kael begins the long journey home. His travels soon dissolve into chaos: dark rumors plague him, a war between shamans has erupted in his path, and he’s fairly certain one of the Countess’s agents is following him.

Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
From the bestselling author of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat • Fascinating portraits of neurological disorder in which men, women, and one extraordinary child emerge as brilliantly adaptive personalities, whose conditions have not so much debilitated them as ushered them into another reality. Here are seven detailed narratives of neurological patients, including a surgeon consumed by the compulsive tics of Tourette's syndrome unless he is operating; an artist who loses all sense of color in a car accident, but finds a new sensibility and creative power in black and white; and an autistic professor who cannot decipher the simplest social exchange between humans, but has built a career out of her intuitive understanding of animal behavior. Sacks combines the well honed mind of an academician with the verve of a true storyteller.

Pages : 602
Book Description
Only a week after a fierce battle in the abandoned scrapyard against the wicked horde of large insect-bots known as The Others, culminating in their destruction when the huge Mars Biosphere spaceship blasted its way out of the scrapyard, Alex Faraway waits impatiently for his long-missing father's promised return from that planet. But Dart, Alex's large, robotic Guardian Dragonfly, is unsure if the sinister creatures from his own past are gone for good. The robot flies regular patrols over the 100 acre scrapyard until one morning he abruptly disappears. Alex goes in search of his adventurous friend, unaware that the plot to invade Mars and destroy the last remaining Martians before they awaken from their hibernation Time Tombs is far from finished. The battle from the previous week has only added weight to the might of The Others and has triggered the arrival in the scrapyard of an ever more powerful robot - one with brutish motivation to complete the creation of a deadly machine from ten thousand years ago. And now, not only is Mars in their sites, but Earth is as well. Something new, powerful, and frightening is also happening to Alex Faraway with each passing day and each time he uses the strange Martian-made device called a Luss. His nightly dreams of an ancient people long forgotten are growing more physical in nature as the Glass Tunnels blur the immutable barrier between past and present, dreams and reality. The Ghosts and the Nethlins are coming. And all the while, the unknown rogue world, the shadowy Planet X, draws ever nearer to its ten-thousand-year close-encounter with Mars. What mysteries from the distant past does that strange glittering world hold?
