This audiobook begins with the question "Who am I?" and immediately sets off in an astonishingly original direction. Why didn't anyone before Harding think of responding to this question like this? It's so obvious, once you see it. Harding presents a new vision of our place in the universe that uses the scientific method of looking to see what is true. It turns out that the truth about ourselves is not only true but also very good, and breathtakingly beautiful. We live in a sacred, many-layered, living universe - or rather it lives in us.

They say hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times. Marco Emery was born into hard times. He was raised in war. He grew up in bomb shelters and on battlefields, fighting to survive. He became a soldier. A war hero. Then, after vanquishing his last enemy, he retired to raise a family. And Earth moved on.

In this intriguing recording, Professor Emeritus Timothy Ferris—one of the world's most respected science writers—explores man's search for life elsewhere in the universe. Ferris combines new discoveries about the origins of life as we know it on Earth with recent revelations about the sun's planets and their moons. Ferris explains why many scientists are convinced that life is abundant throughout the cosmos, and he considers how one day radio telescopes may be used to connect us to an intergalactic Internet and link us to alien civilizations in the far reaches of the universe.

Ein Blick auf die Erforschung außerirdischen Lebens, die unser Verständnis des Kosmos verändert. Seit Tausenden von Jahren fragen sich die Menschen, ob sie allein im Weltall sind. Zum ersten Mal können wir nun auch die entsprechende Technologie nutzen, um das zu untersuchen. Die Frage nach anderem Leben im Universum sollte eine klare Antwort haben: ja oder nein. Aber wenn man versucht, anderswo Leben zu finden, stellt man fest, dass es nicht so einfach ist. Wie kann man es über kosmische Entfernungen hinweg finden? Was ist eigentlich Leben?

Nuestra existencia está amenazada: las glaciaciones, los impactos de asteroides, la capacidad finita de la Tierra e incluso la lejana pero inevitable muerte del Sol son riesgos de tal magnitud que, si no abandonamos la Tierra, deberemos asumir la idea de nuestra extinción. Por eso, para Michio Kaku nuestro destino yace en las estrellas, no por la curiosidad o la pasión aventurera que los humanos llevamos dentro, sino por una simple cuestión de supervivencia.

The Earth had four fleets to fight the invading enemy. The first fleet valiantly protected earth, but it wasn’t enough. Three fleets would arrive soon and end the threat...but they never came through the wormhole. One ship escaped the massacre, fleeing deep into space while the rest of Earth’s defenses were destroyed. Only the barrier around the planet keeps the enemy from finishing what they started.

È la sua ultima operazione prima del pensionamento e Patrick "Wic" Finnegan viene spedito sugli altipiani ghiacciati di Ellsworth. L'unica ragione per cui ha accettato? Deve un favore a un vecchio amico ma questo non vuol dire che lo faccia volentieri. Quando Wic finalmente vede ciò che la squadra di ricercatori ha scoperto, non può credere ai propri occhi: una tempesta furibonda si sta per scatenare sulla Terra.

Stay curious with Dr. Mae Jemison, the first African American woman to travel to space and participate in NASA’s space program.

Un secreto enterrado en la Antártida por miles de años. Y un sargento muy cabreado por tener que hacer de niñera para los investigadores que tienen que resolver el misterio. La última misión de Patrick Finnegan, alias Bic, antes de jubilarse de los marines, lo lleva hasta las montañas subglaciales Ellsworth. Pero ¿el motivo de verdad por el que está ahí? Le debe un favor a un viejo amigo. Aunque eso no significa que lo hará con gusto. Cuando Bic ve lo que han descubierto, no puede creerlo. Tampoco está listo para el estallido de violencia que se va a desencadenar.

Ein Geheimnis, verborgen in der Antarktis. Ein Rätsel, das seit Jahrtausenden auf seine Lösung wartet. Und ein Master Gunnery Sergeant aus Brooklyn, der ausgesprochen sauer ist, weil er auf einen Haufen Wissenschaftler aufpassen soll.

The Earth survived a massive attack from the invading alien fleet of the mighty Tol'konian Empire, railing on the hopes of a single spacecraft known as the Orlando.
