I challenge you to join me on a journey, a journey that is sure to astonish, educate and inspire you. Immerse yourself in a voyage through space and time... to the farthest outreaches of the universe trillions of kilometers/miles away, back 14 billion years in the past and onward billions of years into the future to learn about our fate. This book is part of THE INSPIRING UNIVERSE COLLECTION. This book series will take you on a journey that spans the disciplines of astronomy (a tour of the universe), cosmology (a study of the birth, evolution and fate of the universe) and philosophy (your place in the cosmos). We will admire the view from Planet Earth, travel upward to the International Space Station, visit the planets/dwarf planets in our Solar System (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) and explore our Milky Way Galaxy. We will then explore the most extreme things in the universe... the biggest, fastest, tallest and most powerful... black holes, neutron stars, magnetars, pulsars, supernova explosions, galaxies, nebulas, stars and much more. Our cosmology journey will attempt to answer the most profound questions about the birth, evolution and fate of the universe. Are we alone? How was the universe born? (Big Bang or Big Bounce?) How will it all end? (Big Crunch, Big Chill/Freeze or Big Rip?) In the end, your view of the universe and your place in it will be transformed forever. Immerse Yourself in an Experience, Not Just a Book: This book is loaded with videos and audio podcasts that can be listened to and viewed on your smartphone, tablet, laptop and TV. It includes activity guides, links to apps for real world stargazing and a guided tour of our Solar System and the universe in a three-dimensional (3D) virtual reality world. Play the videos on your TV and transform your family room from being a place where you waste time into a place where you learn about the world around you. Who Should Buy This Book? Adults, seniors, teachers and students... anyone with a passion for learning about the world around us. If you want to inspire and profoundly change a child's life, buy them this book. Buy this book for friends, family and the elderly to inspire them and change the way they view the world.

Journeys to the Ends of the Universe presents a tour through the universe from the big bang onward. The book explores the limits of knowledge where scientific fact overtakes and merges with the wilder speculations of science fiction. The beginnings of galaxies, stars, planets, and even life itself are related back to the raveled turmoil of the first few seconds and years of life in the cosmos. The journey continues past the ultimate fate of the solar system to probe the nature of supernovae. The future of galaxies, clusters of galaxies, super-clusters of clusters of galaxies, and so on leads toward the finale, where the author provides some bizarre musings of physicists and astronomers, suggesting possible destinies for the universe stretching its present age billions of times into the future.

Mike Dooley, the beloved creator of Notes from the Universe, distills a career's worth of inspiration into elegant, brief lessons for making our way through the world--conceived as a guidebook for his young daughter to read when she grows up, yet relevant to everyone who's living a life on earth. Mike returns with his most impactful book yet: a volume of almost 500 insights drawn from his 20+ years as a New Thought leader, organized between endearing letters that recall poignant moments of fatherhood. Through books, courses, and live events, Mike has engaged students with his trademark humor, wisdom, and sheer joy in living. He speaks of understanding our innate spirituality and personal responsibility as the means to unlocking our power over the illusions of time and space. A Beginner's Guide to the Universe is filled with gem-like bits of wisdom imparting his most essential, heartfelt advice about living deliberately and creating consciously--comparable to such treasures as Life's Little Instruction Book, The Prophet, and The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down. Cleverly guiding the reader through a range of topics--including family and relationships, power and responsibility, adversity and rebounding, even the nature of heaven, angels, and God--Mike succeeds in making a happy life in this universe seem easily within our reach. The short passages of text placed artfully on each page, in a book that's a pleasure to hold in the hand, make this an ideal gift for a parent, a parent-to-be, a child, a new grad, a dear friend, or anyone who needs a dose of Dooley, whether they know it or not.

An all-encompassing guide to skeptical thinking from podcast host and academic neurologist at Yale University School of Medicine Steven Novella and his SGU co-hosts, which Richard Wiseman calls "the perfect primer for anyone who wants to separate fact from fiction." It is intimidating to realize that we live in a world overflowing with misinformation, bias, myths, deception, and flawed knowledge. There really are no ultimate authority figures-no one has the secret, and there is no place to look up the definitive answers to our questions (not even Google). Luckily, The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe is your map through this maze of modern life. Here Dr. Steven Novella-along with Bob Novella, Cara Santa Maria, Jay Novella, and Evan Bernstein-will explain the tenets of skeptical thinking and debunk some of the biggest scientific myths, fallacies, and conspiracy theories-from anti-vaccines to homeopathy, UFO sightings to N- rays. You'll learn the difference between science and pseudoscience, essential critical thinking skills, ways to discuss conspiracy theories with that crazy co- worker of yours, and how to combat sloppy reasoning, bad arguments, and superstitious thinking. So are you ready to join them on an epic scientific quest, one that has taken us from huddling in dark caves to setting foot on the moon? (Yes, we really did that.) DON'T PANIC! With The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe, we can do this together. "Thorough, informative, and enlightening, The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe inoculates you against the frailties and shortcomings of human cognition. If this book does not become required reading for us all, we may well see modern civilization unravel before our eyes." -- Neil deGrasse Tyson "In this age of real and fake information, your ability to reason, to think in scientifically skeptical fashion, is the most important skill you can have. Read The Skeptics' Guide Universe; get better at reasoning. And if this claim about the importance of reason is wrong, The Skeptics' Guide will help you figure that out, too." -- Bill Nye
