We see grass every day, tread on it, maybe handle, smell, or plant it but how many of us actually notice it and appreciate its amazing resilience, history and ubiquity? Learn here about the extensive role of that humble but ubiquitous, and ever-renewing, and amazing, plant in the human and natural world. The full picture is revealed in this important new book by Ruth Finnegan, writing here as David Campbell Callender, an Irish naturalist who grew up tracing the flight of birds, looking up at the hills and feeling the lovely growth of the grass under his feet.

A stunning account of how things that seem just part of everyday life, are in fact extraordinary once we notice them. As anthropologists do when they stop to listen. As poets do when they see the world in a grain of sand. When we see how things that are not normally defined as special, perhaps because studied or practised by 'amateurs' rather than 'specialists', are often truly special. How as we go through our daily round our lives are surrounded by splendour. After you read this then world will never look the same.

Excerpt from The Year-Book of Facts in Science and Art The great discovery of the year is that of a Planet exterior to Uranus; with which, according to the Astronomer Royal, nothing in the whole history of astronomy can be compared. It has, however, become the subject of a national controversy; and this to such an extent, that we can only give the principle data. In 1821, M. Alexis Bouvard published his table of Uranus; and a few years subsequently, it was found that the movements of the planet were not represented by them; therefore, they were not reducible to those formula which its simple position in space, and its relations to the other celestial bodies, required. In the Cambridge Observatory, and elsewhere, these anomalies were noted, and insisted on. In 1834, Dr. Hussey requested the opinion of the Astronomer Royal upon the probability of the existence of a disturbing body exterior to Uranus; similar conjectures having been hazarded by Bouvard and Hansen. In 1837, M. E. Bouvard suggested a similar doctrine to the Astronomer Royal, who, in 1838, communicated to M. Schumacher, that the calculated distances of the planet were considerably too small. In 1844, M. Eugene Bouvard was continuing his attempts to either reconcile existing observations, or to settle the impossibility of their agreement. In the last week of October, 1845, Mr. J. C. Adams, of St. John's College, Cambridge, left at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, for the opinion of Professor Airy, the following paper: "According to my calculations, the observed irregularities in the motion of Uranus may be accounted for by supposing the existence of an exterior planet, the mass and orbit of which are as follows: - Mean distance (assumed nearly in accordance with Bode's law) ... 38.4 Mean sidereal motion in 365. 1/4 days ... 1030.9 Mean longitude, Oct. 1, 1845 ... 323.34 Longitude of Perihelion ... 315.55 Eccentricity ... 0 1610 Mass (that of the sun being Unity) ... 0.0001656." In July 29, Professor Challis began his search for the new planet, founded on Adams's elements, and, between this time and the end of October, found no less than 3,150 stars; having actually observed the planet on August 4 and 12, and September 24. Nov. 10, 1845, M. Le Verrier read his first paper to the French Institute on the Theory of Uranus, demonstrating that no perturbations of the old planets would account for the movements of Uranus. June 1, 1846, M. Le Verrier gave his second paper in the Comptes Rendus, admitting no second explanation but that of a new planet, and stating its longitude to be about 325, i.e., within a degree of Mr. Adams's calculations. August 31, M. Le Verrier read his third paper to the Academy of Sciences, with the elements of the supposed planet in detail. On Sept. 2, Mr. Adams communicated to the Astronomer Royal a second set of elements, with a comparison between the places as observed, and those calculated from both sets.

From stone age to space age, every human who has looked up at the night sky has seen the same stars in the same patterns. They reveal our entire history, as well as hinting at our ultimate fate. In Beneath the Night, Stuart Clark tells the full story of this relationship. From prehistoric cave art and Ancient Egyptian zodiacs to the modern era of satellites and space exploration, Clark reveals the history of a fascination that has shaped our scientific understanding; helped us navigate the terrestrial world; provided inspiration for our poets, artists and philosophers; and given us a place to project our hopes and fears. This is the story of the universe, and our place within it.

Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - It has been my object in these pages to present the life of each astronomer in such detail as to enable the reader to realise in some degree the man's character and surroundings; and I have endeavoured to indicate as clearly as circumstances would permit the main features of the discoveries by which he has become known. There are many types of astronomers - from the stargazer who merely watches the heavens, to the abstract mathematician who merely works at his desk; it has, consequently, been necessary in the case of some lives to adopt a very different treatment from that which seemed suitable for others.

Humanity's ongoing quest to unlock the secrets of dark matter and dark energy Heart of Darkness describes the incredible saga of humankind's quest to unravel the deepest secrets of the universe. Over the past thirty years, scientists have learned that two little-understood components—dark matter and dark energy—comprise most of the known cosmos, explain the growth of all cosmic structure and hold the key to the universe's fate. The story of how evidence for the so-called "Lambda-Cold Dark Matter" model of cosmology has been gathered by generations of scientists throughout the world is told here by one of the pioneers of the field, Jeremiah Ostriker, and his coauthor Simon Mitton. From humankind's early attempts to comprehend Earth's place in the solar system, to astronomers' exploration of the Milky Way galaxy and the realm of the nebulae beyond, to the detection of the primordial fluctuations of energy from which all subsequent structure developed, this book explains the physics and the history of how the current model of our universe arose and has passed every test hurled at it by the skeptics. Throughout this rich story, an essential theme is emphasized: how three aspects of rational inquiry—the application of direct measurement and observation, the introduction of mathematical modeling, and the requirement that hypotheses should be testable and verifiable—guide scientific progress and underpin our modern cosmological paradigm. This monumental puzzle is far from complete, however, as scientists confront the mysteries of the ultimate causes of cosmic structure formation and the real nature and origin of dark matter and dark energy.
