Sagan also opened up the wonders of science to thousands of people through his many books and magazine articles. In addition to his talents as a science popularizer, Sagan was a first-rate scientist. a pioneer in the field now known as astrobiology, a major thrust of NASA's current planetary explorations This book takes a fascinating look at all aspects of the life of Carl Sagan: the working scientist, who was an inspired and creative participant in the forefront of a new and exciting era of astronomy; the advocate for science, who could expound on its beauties and joys, as well as point out the follies and foibles of pseudoscience; and the activist, who helped raise awareness of the perils of the Nuclear Age. Following the arc of Sagan's personal and professional life, this book examines both the man and the provocative ideas he brought to this new era, always seeking to capture the infectious enthusiasm and love of communication that infused Carl Sagan's life and work.

Walden is a timeless record of one man's inner journey in the great outdoors. In 1845, Henry David Thoreau set out on a personal experiment that was as simple as it was profound. For two years, two months, and two days he would live apart from civilization, both seeking a better way of life and a better understanding of the life he left behind. He built a rudimentary cabin in some woodland owned by his friend Ralph Waldo Emerson, and set about living simply and independently. Walden is the record of his time in the woods and the insights he gained while there. A highly readable combination of philosophy, natural history, and autobiography, Walden is widely regarded as one of the classics of American literature.

War, famine, and natural disasters.these are the signs of the times that we live in. Today's headlines could have been pulled directly from the book of Revelation in the Bible. The Bible predicted that all of these events would occur in the years leading up to an event commonly known as the Apocalypse. This is the event, prophesied in the Bible, when Jesus Christ will return to earth and take all of his Christian children back to Heaven with him. This event will bring an end to life on earth as we now know it. Christians worldwide are well aware of these facts and prophesies that predict and foreshadow the end times; but, what about the non-Christians, the non-believers? Whether you are a believer or not, this book will point out and explain the signs of the end times that are so prevalent today. It will answer the questions that many people ask themselves; you will be made aware of not only what is going to happen and how it's going to happen, but most importantly, when it's going to happen. You will also learn what you need to do to prepare yourself for this event. Don't worry, it's not too late, there is still time for you to do what you need to do to prepare yourself. This book is a last and final warning to mankind. The evilness of mankind is what has brought us to this point in time. Murder, mayhem, sexual perversion and other crime has taken us down the road to ruin. There is another road, though. A good road and it is possible to get on the good road before it's too late. This book will paint a picture for you. It will paint a picture of the past, a picture of the present and a picture of the future. This picture will help you to understand where we are today in present timesand what we need to do to prepare for the future. God is great and wonderful, he has everything waiting for you and time is waiting for you. I have been given a mission. My mission is to set the record straight; the record and the writings of the Bible. I believe some time in the y

Walking, by Henry David Thoreau - Akasha Classics, AkashaPublishing.Com - I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil - to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that. I have met with but one or two persons in the course of my life who understood the art of Walking, that is, of taking walks - who had a genius, so to speak, for SAUNTERING, which word is beautifully derived "from idle people who roved about the country, in the Middle Ages, and asked charity, under pretense of going a la Sainte Terre," to the Holy Land, till the children exclaimed, "There goes a Sainte-Terrer," a Saunterer, a Holy-Lander. They who never go to the Holy Land in their walks, as they pretend, are indeed mere idlers and vagabonds; but they who do go there are saunterers in the good sense, such as I mean. Some, however, would derive the word from sans terre without land or a home, which, therefore, in the good sense, will mean, having no particular home, but equally at home everywhere. For this is the secret of successful sauntering. He who sits still in a house all the time may be the greatest vagrant of all; but the saunterer, in the good sense, is no more vagrant than the meandering river, which is all the while sedulously seeking the shortest course to the sea. But I prefer the first, which, indeed, is the most probable derivation. For every walk is a sort of crusade, preached by some Peter the Hermit in us, to go forth and reconquer this Holy Land from the hands of the Infidels.
