Story0
Published in 1665, this is the first publication of the Royal Society and considered to be the first scientific best-seller. As opposed to the Latin of other publications of the time like Newton's 'Principia Mathematica', it was written in English to make it accessible to all. Robert Hooke uses the then fairly new microscope to cover many different subjects including insects, plants, organic material, and even the stars and moon, all fully illustrated by Hooke in detailed hand-drawn diagrams. The many illustrations which are frequently referenced can be found here (Summary by Jordan)

According to Barker, who first published the book in the 1960s, Rampa's claim that his body had been taken over by a Tibetan Buddhist monk was in no way disproved. In fact, Barker provides a letter from a Tibetan Buddhist scholar stating that Rampa's writings about the inner workings of Tibetan Buddhism were quite accurate and actually revealed closely guarded secrets of the Himalayan monasteries.

The Observing Universe is not a book of answers. It is a book of questions — approached with attention, silence, and wonder. Drawing from cosmology, science, philosophy, and human experience, this contemplative essay invites the listener to reflect on the movement of the universe, the nature of life, consciousness, and the place of the human being within the whole. Throughout this book, the universe is not presented as a distant object to be explained, but as a living process in which we participate.

Few subjects could be mentioned more remote from the common interests and pursuits of life than what has been usually called the “plurality of worlds,” an expression now so long restricted to one well-ascertained meaning as to have lost any ambiguity that might have been charged upon it. The question is one of mere curiosity, and leads to no direct result; but it has always carried with it an attraction irrespective of its unpractical nature, and has exercised the ingenuity of so many minds that its literature is of no inconsiderable extent. To this the book now in our hands is the most ...

The iron in your blood was forged in the nuclear furnace of a dying star. The gold in your jewelry was born in the collision of neutron stars so violent it sent ripples through spacetime itself. The carbon in your DNA survived a stellar explosion and a billion-year journey through space before becoming part of you. Born from Catastrophe reveals the extraordinary truth behind these statements: we are not just made of stardust, but of stardust created through the most violent events in the universe.
