Introduction to Astronomy & Cosmology is a modern undergraduate textbook, combining both the theory behind astronomy with the very latest developments.
Originally published in 1899, The History of Creation was the first book of its kind to apply a doctrine to the whole range of organic morphology and make use of the effect Darwin had on biological sciences during the 19th century.

In physics, the idea of extra spatial dimensions originates from Nordstom's 5-dimensional vector theory in 1914, followed by Kaluza-Klein theory in 1921, in an effort to unify general relativity and electromagnetism in a 5 dimensional space-time (4 dimensions for space and 1 for time).
The impact of Einstein's relativity is perhaps most dramatic in astronomy, radically altering our interpretation of the observations of the stars and galaxies.
Digital sky surveys, high-precision astrometry from satellite data, deep-space data from orbiting telescopes, and the like have all increased the quantity and quality of astronomical data by orders of magnitude per year for several years.
Inflation and Quantum Cosmology discusses the inflationary universe scenario, including the problems of the standard big bang theory and the interplay between elementary-particle theory and cosmology.
Though the concept of "e;the universe"e; suggests the containment of everything, the latest ideas in cosmology hint that our universe may be just one of a multitude of others-a single slice of an infinity of parallel realities.
Explores how the Universe, our planet, ourselves, and everything in existence has inherent meaning and evolutionary purpose*; 2023 Nautilus Gold Award*; Examines our emergence as self-aware members of a Universe that is itself a unified and innately sentient entity that exists TO evolve*; Shares leading-edge scientific breakthroughs and shows how they support traditional visions of Earth as a living being--Gaia*; Rewrites evolution as not driven by random occurrences and mutations but by intelligently informed and meaningful information flows and processesExploring our emergence as self-aware members of a planetary home and entire Universe that is a unified and innately sentient entity, Jude Currivan, Ph.
*; Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of detailed diagrams and technical illustrations exploring the evolution and importance of the starcut diagram *; Shows how the starcut diagram underlies the shaman's dance in China, the Vedic Fire Altar in India, Raphael frescoes, labyrinth designs, the Great Pyramid in Egypt, and the building of ancient cities *; Explains how the starcut diagram was used in building and design, how it relates to Pythagoras's Tetrakys, and how it contains knowledge of the Tree of Life As Malcolm Stewart reveals in this lavishly illustrated study, the simplesquare figure of the Starcut diagram, created only with circles, has extraordinary geometric properties.
Examines how the similarities of symbols and wisdom across many cultures point to an ancient civilizing plan and system of ancient instruction *; Reveals the shared cosmological knowledge of Dogon and Maori cultures, ancient Egypt, Gobekli Tepe, Vedic India, the pre-Indian Sakti civilization, Buddhism, the Tibetan Bon religion, and the kabbalistic tradition of the Hebrews *; Explores symbols and techniques used to frame and preserve instructed knowledge as it was transmitted orally from generation to generation *; Explains how this shared ancient knowledge relates to the precessional year and the cycles of time known as the yugas Exploring the mystery of why so many ancient cultures, separated by time and distance, share remarkably similar cosmological philosophies and religious symbolism, Laird Scranton reveals how this shared creation tradition upholds the idea that ancient instruction gave birth to the great civilizations, each of which preserves fragments of the original knowledge.
From the cutting edge of science and living spirituality: a guide to understanding our identity and purpose in the world *; Outlines the new understanding of matter and mind coming to light at the cutting edge of physics and consciousness research *; Explains how we can evolve consciously, become connected with each other, and flourish on this planet *; Includes contributions from Maria Sagi, Kingsley L.
How holographic patterns of information underlie our physical reality*; 2017 Nautilus Silver Award*; Includes myriad evidence from a wide range of cutting-edge scientific discoveries showing our Universe is an interconnected hologram of information*; Explains how consciousness is a major component of the cosmic hologram of information, making us both manifestations and co-creators of our reality*; Reconciles Quantum Mechanics and Einstein's Theory of Relativity by showing that energy-matter and space-time are complementary expressions of informationOur understanding of the Universe is about to transform at all levels, from the tiniest Planck scale to the vast reaches of space.
An exploration of the current revolution in scientific thought and the newest scientific findings in support of the Akashic field *; Explains how the new Akasha paradigm recognizes the interconnection of all things in space and time through the quantum resonance of the Akashic field *; Reveals the cosmos to be a self-actualizing, self-organizing whole, bringing forth life and consciousness in countless universes *; Explores the latest discoveries in the sciences of life, mind, and cosmos Science evolves through alternating phases of ';normal science' and radical shifts that create scientific revolutions.
Dogon cosmology provides a new Rosetta stone for reinterpreting Egyptian hieroglyphs *; Provides a new understanding of Egyptian hieroglyphs as scientific symbols based on Dogon cosmological drawings *; Use parallels between Dogon and Egyptian word meanings to identify relationships between Dogon myths and modern science In The Science of the Dogon, Laird Scranton demonstrated that the cosmological structure described in the myths and drawings of the Dogon runs parallel to modern science--atomic theory, quantum theory, and string theory--their drawings often taking the same form as accurate scientific diagrams that relate to the formation of matter.
The profound influence of ancient cosmologies on our ideas about the human spirit *; Shows how ancient myths contain a sophisticated understanding of our relationship to the cosmos, derived from thousands of years of observation of the night sky *; Explains how ideas of the mind and spirit are still entwined with these ancient cosmologies despite the disruptive effects of modern astronomy *; Reveals how ancient ideas and contemporary cosmology might be combined into a new model for spiritual meaning Thousands of years before the first written records, humans were turning to the night sky as a source of meaning for existence and their place within it.
Reconstructs a theoretic parent cosmology that underlies ancient religion *; Shows how this parent cosmology provided the conceptual origins of written language *; Uses techniques of comparative cosmology to synchronize the creation traditions of the Dogon, ancient Egyptians, and ancient Buddhists *; Applies the signature elements of this parent cosmology to explore and interpret the creation tradition of a present-day Tibetan/Chinese tribe called the Na-Khi--the keepers of the world's last surviving hieroglyphic language Great thinkers and researchers such as Carl Jung have acknowledged the many broad similarities that exist between the myths and symbols of ancient cultures.
Identifying the Mayan World Tree with the central axis of the cosmos, the author shows how evolution is not random *; Shows how the evolution of the universe emanates from the cosmic Tree of Life *; Explains the origin and evolution of biological life and consciousness and how this is directed Using recent findings within cosmology, coupled with his broad understanding of the Mayan Calendar, biologist Carl Johan Calleman offers a revolutionary and fully developed alternative to Darwin's theory of biological evolution--and the theory of randomness that holds sway over modern science.
'If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe' - Carl SaganInspired by Sagan's famous line, How To Make An Apple Pie From Scratch sets out on a journey to unearth everything we know about our universe: how it started, how we found out, and what we still have left to discover .

"e;A personal, brilliant, and often amusing account"e; of the universe and our place in it, and "e;an idiosyncratic, encyclopedic blitzkrieg of a book"e; (The Boston Globe).
Dive into a mind-bending exploration of the physics of black holesBlack holes, predicted by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity more than a century ago, have long intrigued scientists and the public with their bizarre and fantastical properties.
