Despite the boundless advances of modern science, much of the Universe still remains a mystery. Mysteries have a way of gnawing at the human mind. Mysteries demand to be solved. In seeking to unravel the mysteries of the Universe, scientists and philosophers have proposed bold speculations to explain those mysterious phenomena that lie at the edges of knowledge. The mysterious phenomena to which the author refers are those that have remained elusive to established fact and certainty. Such phenomena include the nature, structure, origin, and terminus of the well-ordered Universe.

"A page-turner...Chichton’s writing is cinematic, with powerful visual images and nonstop action. This book should come with hot buttered popcorn."NEWSWEEKA group of American scientists are rushed to a huge vessel that has been discovered resting on the ocean floor in the middle of the South Pacific. What they find defines their imaginations and mocks their attempts at logical explanation. It is a spaceship of phenomenal dimensions, apparently, undamaged by its fall from the sky. And, most startling, it appears to be at least three hundred years old...."The suspense is real."THE NEW YORK

How do real individuals live together in real societies in the real world?Jeffrey Alexander’s masterful work, The Civil Sphere, addresses this central paradox of modern life. Feelings for others--the solidarity that is ignored or underplayed by theories of power or self-interest--are at the heart of this novel inquiry into the meeting place between normative theories of what we think we should do and empirical studies of who we actually are. A grand and sweeping statement, The Civil Sphere is a major contribution to our thinking about the real but ideal world in which we all reside.

Taking the warp of dream, sometimes nightmare, and weaving it with the ordinary world, the poems of The Armillary Sphere, Ann Hudson’s award-winning debut collection, do not simplify the mystery but deepen it. Just as the interlocking rings of the armillary sphere of the title represent the great circles of the heavens, so do the poems herein demonstrate out of the beautiful, the extraordinary, and the cast off, a fresh scaffolding, a new way to see out from the center of our selves, a new measure of our relationship to the things of this world and the next. Chosen from hundreds of manu

The Second Edition of Environmental Communication and the Public Sphere remains the only comprehensive introduction to the growing field of environmental communication. This groundbreaking book focuses on the role that human communication plays in influencing the ways we perceive the environment. It also examines how we define what constitutes an environmental problem and how we decide what actions to take with regards to the natural world. Author Robert Cox also draws on his personal experience as the three-time president of the Sierra Club-the largest environmental group in the United States
