![]() ![]() Of course, those protests to block Cassini’s launch failed and the mission launched successfully. Most of the event’s attendees came from outside the MIT community, though.) (I recall him speaking at one such event on the MIT campus in the weeks leading up to the launch when I was a graduate student there. NASA bureaucrats are bordering on scientific dishonesty,” he said in one such speech, claiming RTGs were riskier than NASA claimed they were. ![]() “I’m trying to tell you something very simple. Kaku spoke at various events warning of the threat Cassini posed to our environment if launched. ![]() “But now we face perhaps the greatest challenge of all: to leave the confines of the Earth and soar into outer space,” he writes in the book’s prologue.Īmong those who spoke out against the launch was Michio Kaku, a physics professor at the City University of New York who was only then emerging as a popular science communicator. ![]() Those activists, staging protests outside the gates of Cape Canaveral, in Washington, and elsewhere, feared that an accident during launch or on an Earth gravity assist needed to sling the spacecraft out to Saturn could cause radioactive contamination around the launch site or even throughout the atmosphere. In 1997, as NASA was preparing to launch the Cassini mission to Saturn, a small but vocal group of anti-nuclear activists protested its launch because the spacecraft was powered by a radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) with plutonium-238. ![]()

Michael todd books7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() Even if you have to start with baby faith or maybe faith, you can become empowered to let go of your lazy faith, trust God through your hazy faith, and learn to live a lifestyle of crazy faith. In Crazy Faith, Pastor Michael Todd shows us how to step out in faith and dive into the purposeful life of trusting God for the impossible. Many of us would rather play it safe and stand on the sidelines, but it’s crazy faith that helps us see God move and reveals His promises. ![]() Our see-it-to-believe-it generation tends to have a hard time exercising true faith - one that steps out, takes action, and sees mountain-moving results. Smartphones, Wi-Fi, and even the electric light bulb were all groundbreaking, history-making inventions that started out as crazy ideas. There are many things that seem normal or average today that at one point in time seemed absolutely crazy. ![]() It was crazy to believe that a 14-year-old virgin would give birth to the Son of God.until Mary held Jesus in her arms. It was crazy for Moses to lead a nation of people into the desert away from Egypt.until the Red Sea parted. ![]() Noah looked crazy when he started building the ark.until it started raining. Will you be remembered as a person who claimed to follow God but liked to play it safe? Or as a person who lived your life out on the limb and trusted God enough to live in crazy faith? From the number one New York Times best-selling author of Relationship Goals. ![]()

River marked7/6/2023 ![]() After all, I'd have thought a powerful place would have attracted witches or something nastier (and there is not a whole lot nastier than a black witch), and in all the years I'd been visiting, I'd never seen anything dangerous. ![]() ![]() I'd always taken that last bit with a grain of salt. It is a monument to commemorate thirteen young men of Klickitat County who died in a war nearly a hundred years ago, a silent testament of a man who knew how to dream big, and, I'd been told, a magical collection site of great power to those who knew how to access it. The one at Maryhill took a little more than ten years to complete. The original Stonehenge took about sixteen hundred years to build. Certainly it was impressive-a massive exact- sized replica cast in concrete of a place half a world away. I never could decide if Stonehenge was beautiful, spiritual, or merely a roadside oddity. Adam and I parked the truck next to a deserted orchard down by the river and walked over hill and dale to the high place where Sam Hill's conceit looked out over the gorge. ![]() ![]() Sam Hill had been told that the henge at Salisbury had been used for human sacrifice and decided that it was a fitting memorial for the men who were sacrificed in World War I. It's right on the way to my mom's house in Portland. UNLIKE THE MARYHILL MUSEUM OR SHE WHO WATCHES, Stonehenge was a place I had been to many times over the years. ![]()

Fredrik backman beartown sequel7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() Hockey was certainly not the driving factor behind me reading the book. In fact, the only reason I picked up this book in the first place was that it had “bear” in the name and bears were my favorite animal at the time. Now, if you’ve put off reading the “Beartown” series because you have no desire to read about hockey, I understand. So, without fail, I find myself coming back to the same book to recommend time and time again: Read “Beartown.”įor those who aren’t familiar, Fredrik Backman’s “Beartown” is the first book in a trilogy about a hockey team in the middle of the woods. ![]() I guess I could offer someone my favorite mystery-thriller (“The Guest List” by Lucy Foley), the best memoir I’ve read (“The Glass Castle” by Jeannette Walls) or my most recent five-star that surprised me (“Bunny” by Mona Awad) but none of them perfectly encapsulate what I love so much about reading. ![]() I don’t read boring books, but I’ll only ever have one suggestion for someone. ![]() For someone who loves to read and won’t shut up about it, I am probably the most boring book recommender. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Instead, each idea feels boundaryless and bounces from one to the next - more Walter Benjamin than Aldo Leopold.Įvery chapter is organized by theme and features a shell representing that theme. The book doesn’t read like a dry recitation of information, though. When I flipped to a random page, I counted no fewer than 15 separate facts in just a few paragraphs. Barnett layers and presents her data in a dizzying and impressive way. ![]() The Sound of the Sea is exhaustively researched, weaving together history, biology, nature writing, and the personal histories of those who, throughout time, have been especially influenced by seashells. In her new book, The Sound of the Sea: Seashells and the Fate of the Oceans, environmental journalist Cynthia Barnett tries to unravel the Siren-like spell that shells have cast on us and what we can learn from those shells as our climate changes. From prehistoric women stringing bits of shell together to a modern-day blind scientist who crawls on his hands and knees across beaches feeling for new specimens, seashells have always held a particular fascination for humans. He was far from alone in his obsession with these mesmerizing, once-living fragments of calcium carbonate. ![]()
