Description:
New York: Bamtam Books, 1993. Stephen Hawking sheds new light on the darkest regions of space and time to reveal an extraordinary array of possibilities for our understanding of the universe. The thirteen essays and one remarkable extended interview broadcast over the BBC on Christmas Day, 1992 range from the autobiographical to the purely scientific. With the great unfolding mysteries of the universe as a backdrop, Stephen Hawking also reflects on free will, the value of life, and his perceptions of death. He looks at how science theory converges with - and - diverges from - science fiction, as well as how science fact interfaces with our own lives. A sharp-cornered bright book in a photo illustrated, price-intact dust jacket.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine.

London: Allen Lane/Penquin Books, 1980. Louise Young presents an outstanding clear account of current knowledge about the atmosphere. She explains such newsworthy phenomena as metal-corroding acid rain, smog and damage to the ozone layer, as well as the ever important and fascinating pattern of the weather; but she also gives progress reports about the amazing promise (and threat) of weather control, about the recently discovered solar winds, about the huge increase this century in reported tornado activity. The mysterious changes in storm patterns, the dangerous build-up of carbon dioxide, the objects that pass through the atmosphere (from invisible cosmic rays to meteorites weighing several tons) all are superbly dealt with.
