“Who can ask for better cosmic tour guides?” —Michio Kaku Our true origins are not only human, or even terrestrial, but in fact cosmic. Drawing on recent scientific breakthroughs and cross-pollination among geology, biology, astrophysics, and cosmology, Origins illuminates the soul-stirring leaps in our understanding of the cosmos. This revised and updated edition features such startling discoveries as the now more than 5,000 detected exoplanets that promise to reveal exciting possibilities for life in the cosmos, and data from a new generation of ground-based and spaceborne observatories that have fundamentally changed what we know about the expanding universe?and maybe even the laws of physics themselves. From the first image of a galaxy’s birth to tantalizing evidence of water not only on Mars but also on the asteroid Ceres, as well as on moons of Jupiter and Saturn, coauthors Neil deGrasse Tyson and Donald Goldsmith conduct an exhilarating tour of the cosmos with clarity and exuberance.

A collection of original poems by Oregon Poet, Linda Varsell Smith.From Linda: When I was three I talked in rhyme. At six I dictated rhymed quatrains. I have diaries from age 11. I have written, poetry and prose as soon as I could. I have worked on literary publications since high school, producing The Eloquent Umbrella when I taught creative writing at Linn-Benton Community College, edited for Calyx Books for over 30 years. I have served as president of the Oregon Poetry Association and PEN Women in Portland. I have given poetry readings, workshops, judged poetry contests. I wrote 12 youth fantasy novels and this is my 16th full-length book of poetry. At www.rainbowcommmunications.org I wrote examples and provided directions for almost 1000 poetry patterns. When I married Court Smith I truly became a word-smith. Currently most of my focus is on poetry: word-playing, word dancing, word-delight.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Bringing his cosmic perspective to civilization on Earth, Neil deGrasse Tyson shines new light on the crucial fault lines of our time—war, politics, religion, truth, beauty, gender, and race—in a way that stimulates a deeper sense of unity for us all. In a time when our political and cultural views feel more polarized than ever, Tyson provides a much-needed antidote to so much of what divides us, while making a passionate case for the twin chariots of enlightenment—a cosmic perspective and the rationality of science. After thinking deeply about how science sees the world and about Earth as a planet, the human brain has the capacity to reset and recalibrates life’s priorities, shaping the actions we might take in response. No outlook on culture, society, or civilization remains untouched. With crystalline prose, Starry Messenger walks us through the scientific palette that sees and paints the world differently. From insights on resolving global conflict to reminders of how precious it is to be alive, Tyson reveals, with warmth and eloquence, an array of brilliant and beautiful truths that apply to us all, informed and enlightened by knowledge of our place in the universe.

The many manifestations of Chinese poetry are crystals in which we may glimpse the multi-faceted reflections of Chinese life, values, philosophy and emotions. This artistic and literary genre reveals the inner lives of the Chinese people - how they think, feel, imagine and hope. The authors have sought to convey some sense, however fragmentary, of the artistic impulse in China as it confronts the endless mystery of existence through the millenia. The continuing impact of external influences on a culture remains uncertain. So too does the scope of the influence China will have on the world community in the twenty-first century and beyond. If you listen closely, and with a receptive ear, the resounding echoes of China's past, present and future can be heard in the mellifluous voices of its poets.
