Описание: From the acclaimed author of We Ride Upon Sticks comes a luminous novel that moves across a windswept Mongolia about estranged twin brothers who make a journey of duty, conflict, and renewed understanding. Tasked with finding the reincarnation of a great lama somewhere in the vast Mongolian landscape, the young monk Chuluun seeks the help of his identical twin, Mun, who as a child was recognized as a reincarnated being but has since renounced the monastic life they once shared. Proving once again that she is a writer of immense range and imagination, Quan Barry carries us across a terrain as unforgiving as it is beautiful and culturally varied, from the western Altai mountains to the eerie starkness of the Gobi Desert to the ancient capital of Chinggis Khaan. As their country stretches before them, questions of faith--along with more earthly matters of love and brotherhood--haunt the twins, who can hear each other's thoughts. Are our lives our own, or do we belong to something larger? When I'm Gone, Look for Me in the East is a stunningly far-flung examination of our individual struggle to retain our convictions and discover meaning in a fast-changing world, as well as a meditation on accepting what simply is.

Описание: "We Ride Upon Sticks . . . is for the kind of adults who watch Stranger Things and still have, somewhere, an athletic award inscribed on a paper plate." --NPR Acclaimed novelist Quan Barry delivers a tour de female force in this delightful novel. Set in the coastal town of Danvers, Massachusetts, where the accusations began that led to the 1692 witch trials, We Ride Upon Sticks follows the 1989 Danvers High School Falcons field hockey team, who will do anything to make it to the state finals--even if it means tapping into some devilishly dark powers. In chapters dense with 1980s iconography--from Heathers to "big hair"--Barry expertly weaves together the individual and collective progress of this enchanted team as they storm their way through an unforgettable season. Helmed by good-girl captain Abby Putnam (a descendant of the infamous Salem accuser Ann Putnam) and her co-captain Jen Fiorenza (whose bleached blond "Claw" sees and knows all), the Falcons prove to be wily, original, and bold, flaunting society's stale notions of femininity in order to find their glorious true selves through the crucible of team sport and, more importantly, friendship.
In 1999, Quan Huynh shot and killed another man in a gang-related incident in Hollywood, California. He received a prison sentence of fifteen years to life in a state that, at the time, did not parole prisoners with life sentences. Behind bars, Quan continued his downward spiral.
This could have been the end of the story for Quan, as it is for many prisoners. But somewhere along the way, he discovered a new path-one that prompted him to commit to self-reflection, truth, and personal responsibility.
Sparrow in the Razor Wire is Quan's story of transformation inside a place many see as the end of the road. In his book, he shares the journey of redemption and discovery that led to his ultimate freedom. He found that, no matter the prison, the key to unlocking the door is in each one of us.

Описание: Six thousand years ago, the Sahara was lush and green. The Earth's precession (wobbling) has been blamed as the main cause for the vast climate changes between arid desert and green land in the Sahara. Accordingly, it will be another 10,000 years before the Green Sahara is predicted to return. Nevertheless, this book reveals that the Earth's precession only serves as a perturbation to trigger the transitions. The main control is the stability of the water cycle in the Sahara. This is governed by the non-linear relationship between precipitation and evaporation, and, in turn, depends on surface conditions and atmospheric circulation. About 5700 years ago, the Green Sahara suddenly started to wither. The wilting began in the standalone Great Chotts Basin, which is in the strong rain shadow of the Atlas Mountain ranges. When the water cycle stability in this basin was broken, the Great Chott Lakes dried quickly and the rain shadow effect became fully active, triggering desert formation. The desert expanded east and south, like a spreading wildfire powered by the westerlies and trade winds. This led to desertification and aridification in North Africa, West Asia, and the Mediterranean which have continued synchronously until this day. This process spans and affects most of human history as we know it, including the prosperity and desolation of Mesopotamia, the rise and fall of Egypt, and the civilization shifts from east to west across the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. This book will explain the step-by-step spread of the Sahara desert and its impact on West Asia and the Mediterranean regions. Archaeological records and paleoclimate data corroborate this new insight. As an independent validation, the desertification in Northwest China has followed a very similar process and control mechanism. Based on the new understanding, this book reveals methods to revive deserts in Northwest China and Australia, and to turn the Sahara back to green.

Featuring topics such as Schrodinger's cat, the wave-particle duality and the newly emerging theories of quantum gravity, Knowledge in a Nutshell: Quantum Physics provides an essential introduction to cutting edge science. It also presents the personalities behind these discoveries, such as Max Planck, Neils Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Richard Feynman and many more. Presented in an easy-to-understand format, with cover flaps, diagrams, illustrations and simple summary sections at the end of each chapter, this new addition to the 'Knowledge in a Nutshell' series brings clarity to some of the great mysteries of physics. ABOUT THE SERIES: The critically-acclaimed Knowledge in a Nutshell series provides accessible and engaging introductions to wide-ranging topics, written by experts in their fields.
This book uses an array of different approaches to describe photosynthesis, ranging from the subjectivity of human perception to the mathematical rigour of quantum electrodynamics. This interdisciplinary work draws from fields as diverse as astronomy, agriculture, classical and quantum optics, and biology in order to explain the working principles of photosynthesis in plants and cyanobacteria.
