How Life on Earth Began
What did the Earth look like 300 million years ago? Here's a chance to travel back through time and discover the days when the Earth was a very different place. In this cleverly designed book, lifting the tracing paper pages is like peeling back the layers of history, allowing readers to compare animals living in prehistoric landscapes with the fossils they left behind. The changing face of our planet comes to life, while the science behind the Earth's geology and climate is clearly explained.
Packed with fascinating illustrations, this is a wonderful way to understand the story of evolution, from the earliest single-cell lifeforms to the mighty dinosaurs and onwards to the first human beings.

Hacking Planet Earth (MR-EXP)
An exploration of the cutting-edge technology that will enable us to confront the realities of climate change.
For decades scientists and environmentalists have sounded the alarm about the effects of global warming. We are now past the tipping point. As floods, storms, and extreme temperatures become our daily reality, "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" efforts aren't enough anymore. In Hacking Planet Earth, New York Times bestselling author Thomas Kostigen takes readers to the frontlines of geoengineering projects that scientists, entrepreneurs, engineers, and other visionaries around the world are developing to solve the problems associated with climate change.
From giant parasols hovering above the Earth to shield us from an unforgiving sun, to lasers shooting up into clouds to coax out much-needed water, Kostigen introduces readers to this inspiring work and the people who are spearheading it. These futurist, far- thinking, world-changing ideas will save us, and Hacking Planet Earth offers readers their new vision for the future.

Search for Life on Mars
Published to coincide with the launch of NASA's Perseverance rover mission this summer, the definitive account of our quest to find life on the Red Planet. From The War of the Worlds to The Martian and to the amazing photographs sent back by the robotic rovers Curiosity and Opportunity, Mars has excited our imaginations as the most likely other habitat for life in the solar system. Now the Red Planet is coming under scrutiny as never before.
As new missions are scheduled to launch this year from the United States and China, and with the European Space Agency's ExoMars mission now scheduled for 2022, this book recounts in full the greatest scientific detective story ever. For the first time in forty years, the missions heading to Mars will look for signs of ancient life on the world next door. It is the latest chapter in an age-old quest that encompasses myth, false starts, red herrings, and bizarre coincidences-as well as triumphs and heartbreaking failures.
This book, by two journalists with deep experience covering space exploration, is the definitive story of how life's discovery has eluded us to date, and how it will be found somewhere and sometime this century. The Search for Life on Mars is based on more than a hundred interviews with experts at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and elsewhere, who share their insights and stories. While it looks back to the early Mars missions such as Viking 1 and 2, the book's focus is on the experiments and revelations from the most recent ones-including Curiosity, which continues to explore potentially habitable sites where water was once present, and the Mars Insight lander, which has recorded more than 450 marsquakes since its deployment in late 2018-as well as on the Perseverance and ExoMars rover missions ahead.
And the book looks forward to the newest, most exciting frontier of all: the day, not too far away, when humans will land, make the Red Planet their home, and look for life directly.

Our Final Warning: Six Degrees Of Climate Emergency
This book must not be ignored. It really is our final warning.
Mark Lynas delivers a vital account of the future of our earth, and our civilisation, if current rates of global warming persist. And it's only looking worse.
We are living in a climate emergency. But how much worse could it get? Will civilisation collapse? Are we already past the point of no return? What kind of future can our children expect? Rigorously cataloguing the very latest climate science, Mark Lynas explores the course we have set for Earth over the next century and beyond. Degree by terrifying degree, he charts the likely consequences of global heating and the ensuing climate catastrophe.
At one degree - the world we are already living in - vast wildfires scorch California and Australia, while monster hurricanes devastate coastal cities. At two degrees the Arctic ice cap melts away, and coral reefs disappear from the tropics. At three, the world begins to run out of food, threatening millions with starvation. At four, large areas of the globe are too hot for human habitation, erasing entire nations and turning billions into climate refugees. At five, the planet is warmer than for 55 million years, while at six degrees a mass extinction of unparalleled proportions sweeps the planet, even raising the threat of the end of all life on Earth.
These escalating consequences can still be avoided, but time is running out. We must largely stop burning fossil fuels within a decade if we are to save the coral reefs and the Arctic. If we fail, then we risk crossing tipping points that could push global climate chaos out of humanity's control.
This book must not be ignored. It really is our final warning.

Mirror Land
Na začiatku je reportáž hovoriaca o objavení vesmírnej lode na strednom Slovensku. Včelár z Dúbravice postavil úľ v tvare vesmírnej lode aby mohol zo sebou zobrať včely do Mirror Landu. Táto nepoškvrnená planéta je podobná tej našej a je situovaná za odverátenou stranou slnka. Napriek tomu že sa to zdá neuveriteľné, loď DBSP 01 (Dúbravica Beekeeper's Space Program) je skutočná je otvorená návštevníkom priamo uprostred dediny. Môžete dokonca vidieť muža oblečeného v skafandri. Možno je táto posledná óda eskapizmu ódou na oprávnený útek, alebo ódou práci včelárov tých, čo sú spätí s včelami, a ktorí aj napriek tomu, že im med kradnú, ich ochraňujú a starajú sa o ich rodiny. Porozumenie včelám a ich správaniu vyžaduje pokoj, stíšenie a otvorenú myseľ. Tento príbeh sa odohráva vo viacerých časových zónach, v prítomnosti a v budúcnosti, pretekajúc popri dejových líniách medzi realitou a fikciou. Odohráva sa na pozadí akéhosi nadčasového kozmického putovania. Zápletku možno vnímať ako vnútorný dialóg dvoch postáv žurnalistu a kozmonauta. Majú dve preplietajúce sa línie kombinujú literárny príbeh a umeleckú prácu do jedného celku. Scény odkazujúce na archaicky a vidiecky podmienené hodnoty včelárstva popretkávané moderným mýtom kozmického úteku. Namiesto optimisickej idey vesmírneho objavovania, v texte rezonuje strach o osud včiel, ktoré sú neviditeľne napojené na všetko čo zažívame, obzvlášť na našu každodennú existenciu. Avšak, pozornosť je uprená aj inde: príbeh nie je iba varovaním pred ekologickou katastrofou a stratou krehkej rovnováhy prírody. Pozýva nás do sveta, kde čas plynie odlišne. Hneď ako si kozmonaut zloží svoju helmu, počuje celé spektrum zvukov prírody a ponára sa do nich.
