Описание: An historically unprecedented disconnect between humanity and the heavens has opened. Jo Marchant's book can begin to heal it. For at least 20,000 years, we have led not just an earthly existence but a cosmic one. Celestial cycles drove every aspect of our daily lives. Our innate relationship with the stars shaped who we are--our art, religious beliefs, social status, scientific advances, and even our biology. But over the last few centuries we have separated ourselves from the universe that surrounds us. It's a disconnect with a dire cost. Our relationship to the stars and planets has moved from one of awe, wonder and superstition to one where technology is king--the cosmos is now explored through data on our screens, not by the naked eye observing the natural world. Indeed, in most countries modern light pollution obscures much of the night sky from view. Jo Marchant's spellbinding parade of the ways different cultures celebrated the majesty and mysteries of the night sky is a journey to the most awe inspiring view you can ever see--looking up on a clear dark night. That experience and the thoughts it has engendered have radically shaped human civilization across millennia. The cosmos is the source of our greatest creativity in art, in science, in life. To show us how, Jo Marchant takes us to the Hall of the Bulls in the caves at Lascaux in France, and to the summer solstice at a 5,000-year-old tomb at New Grange in Ireland. We discover Chumash cosmology and visit medieval monks grappling with the nature of time and Tahitian sailors navigating by the stars. We discover how light reveals the chemical composition of the sun, and we are with Einstein as he works out that space and time are one and the same. A four-billion-year-old meteor inspires a search for extraterrestrial life. The cosmically liberating, summary revelation is that star-gazing made us human.

"Duke the Final Chapter" is the feature story in this book. Duke was a favorite pet and part of the family. Duke was a kind and gentle dog who would never hurt anyone or anything. He would befriend any animal except cats. He would chase them...given the chance, but was lucky enough to never have caught one. Duke was friendly to most people. He would bark at strangers and scare people he didn't know. He never bit or nipped anyone.
The remaining stories are little tidbits from the life of the author and his family. I would hope that most people could see a little of themselves in this book and find joy in the reading of it.

When Laurel Cates uncovers a shocking story about Garland's football coach, it takes all of her courage to publish the story in the school's paper. And when it reverberates around the country, the ramifications are both personal and professional. But nowhere are the repercussions stronger than in Laurel's everyday life as she can't seem to avoid Bodie St. James, the star quarterback, whose own career now hangs on the brink as a result of her article.
Whistleblower is fresh, contemporary, new adult fiction--with #metoo at its heart.
