Pád Měsíce - Jack McDevitt
O knize Pád Měsíce Je 21. století a se světem je vše v pořádku. Aspoň se zdá. Viceprezident Charlie Haskell, který je ochoten pro své mediální zviditelnění jet kamkoli, se chystá přestřihnout pásku právě dokončené americké Měsíční základny. První výprava k Marsu, vedená ženou, má zanedlouho opustit vysokou oběžnou dráhu. Dole se svět obdivuje vzácnému zatmění Slunce. Ale vše, co je v pořádku, se katastrofálně zvrtne, když amatérská astronomka objeví novou kometu.
Deepsix - Jack McDevitt
O knize Deepsix Druhá kniha série Motory boha. V roce 2204 donutily tragédie a prožitá hrůza vědecký tým k předčasné evakuaci Maleivy III. O jedenadvacet let později mají vědci navždy ztratit možnost ke zkoumání této galaktické rarity - planety s vlastním životem -, neboť do planetární soustavy vtrhl zbloudilý plynový obr, na jehož kolizním kursu se nachází planeta, které se teď říká Deepsix.
Pláž Nekonečno - Jack McDevitt
O knize Pláž Nekonečno Jsme sami. To je verdikt po staletích pátrání po mimozemské inteligenci a průzkumu kosmu. Jediné živé bytosti ve vesmíru se nacházejí na Devíti světech osídlených pozemšťany a v kosmických lodích, které je spojují. Žádný život se nepodařilo najít. Žádné inteligentní mimozemšťany, žádné cizí ekologické systémy, žádné úžasné civilizace. Dokonce ani amébu, lišejník, bakterii. Vesmír je sterilní jako laboratoř, jež byla použita pouze jednou.
Mass. should convene a Blue Ribbon Commission to develop a new model for campus safety
As caps and gowns disappear and college campuses empty, academic and public leaders have an important summer job — ensuring that students return to a safer environment in the fall. Massachusetts boasts some of the world's leading academic institutions, and to date, has had the good fortune to be spared gun violence that occurred in separate incidents when one lone gunman terrorized the Brown University community and another killed Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University last year.
Čindi
Při běžné průzkumní misi ke vzdálené neutronové hvězdě zachytí jedna z kosmických lodí Akademie krátké vysílání v neznámém jazyce. Ačkoli již byla velká část galaxie prozkoumána lidstvem, bylo nalezeno jen velmi málo dalších inteligentních druhů. Dříve než loď opustí oběžnou dráhu hvězdy, vyšle několik satelitů, aby pátraly po zdroji signálů. Po pěti letech jedna z družic identifikuje původ signálu jako mimozemský, nebo přinejmenším potenciálně mimozemský.
Motory Boha
Domů Knihy Motory Boha Přehled První kniha série Motory Boha. Lidé jim říkají Stavitelé monumentů. Neznámé civilizaci, která po sobě zanechala ohromující nepozemské sochy na odlehlých planetách galaxie. Každá planeta je jiná. Každý nápis vzdoruje snahám o přeložení. Přesto jsou neskutečně krásné. A pro planetu Zemi, která se nachází na pokraji zkázy, mohou mít jediný klíč k přežití celého lidstva....

We spearheaded state's 2014 gun law; new legislation can build on it
FOR NEARLY 10 years Massachusetts has been one of the states with the lowest rates of firearm deaths. Firearm deaths include homicides and suicides by firearm and firearm accidents. Most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the annual firearm death rate in Massachusetts is 3.4 per 100,000 residents while the national firearm death rate is 14.7 per 100,000, or nearly five times the rate in Massachusetts.
Village in the Sky
In Nebula Award–winning author Jack McDevitt’s ninth installment in the beloved Alex Benedict science fiction mystery series, humanity discovers new intelligent life lightyears away—only for it to disappear without a trace. Centuries after a war with the Mutes, the first aliens to be encountered by humankind, a startling new discovery in the far reaches of the Orion Nebula appears.
Knock knock
I’d never seen Arthur Parsons as happy as he’d been when NASA launched the Ava Maxwell. Arthur was the director at the Mauna Kea Observatory. He’d won a few awards and was a leading cosmologist. I have to admit I’m not entirely sure what that means, but it was the way he was routinely introduced when he arrived at speaking engagements or for television interviews on the science channel. He was a couple of years from retirement, but he wasn’t planning to walk away quietly.

A public safety agenda for the next mayor - CommonWealth Magazine
THE BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT is currently facing a paradox. On the one hand, many in the police department view the agency as a national model for future policing. On the other hand, many in the community believe the department is in need of reform because of outdated policing strategies that lack accountability and transparency like so many other major police departments across the country.

The wrong way
I was alone in my office, reading the Washington Post, when Mindy asked if she could have a minute. I glanced across my desk at the calibrator in which she was stored. It was a model of the Capitol Building. “We need to talk, Senator,” she said. I’d bought her only a few days earlier. Mostly she had simply been keeping me updated on committee hearings and speaking engagements and handling incoming phone calls. “About what?” I asked.
Our state gun laws need some updates - CommonWealth Magazine
IN MASSACHUSETTS, we often congratulate ourselves for having strong gun laws. And we should. Evidence shows that there are fewer gun violence fatalities here than in states with laxer laws. In 2019 and 2020, Massachusetts was rated as the state with the lowest rate of gun deaths by The Education Fund to Stop Gun Violence. But we must not be complacent. In 2019 alone, 247 individuals were killed with guns in Massachusetts and countless more were injured.
OCTAVIA GONE by Jack McDevitt Read by Jennifer Van Dyck
Narrator Jennifer Van Dyck delivers a solid performance in a cool, crisp style that works well with this futuristic mystery involving a missing space station, a black hole, and a possible alien artifact. While tracking down leads, Chase Kolpath and her antiquarian employer, Alex Benedict, find more questions than answers as they reconsider the meaning of life.
5 SF Stories that Celebrate the Ordinary
Science fiction has a major advantage over the more basic forms of literature, which are designed to provide an opportunity through which we can share emotional and learning experiences with the characters. At their best, standard books and stories remind us of the nature of reality.

Nature : Nature Research
Frank Broadwell looked out at a cloudy sky as Marine One descended towards an open field near Santa Caterina Church on Mazzorbo Island. Ben Tyler, one of his staff, leaned forward. “Mr President, why are we way out here? I'd expected, since we were going to meet the Pope, it would have been at the Basilica or someplace.” Broadwell sighed. He had bigger things to think about. “It's okay, Ben. His Holiness likes to stay out of the limelight. He's not much given to showing off.” Ben's phone sounded.
Blood will tell : Nature : Nature Research
Andy Pharon didn't know why he spent an hour every morning on FaceBook. Scandal! Outrage! Funny pussycats! More outrage! He might have been reading a tabloid, except that FaceBook was more respectable. Which mattered, as he was in Larry's. Martha came over. “Everything okay, Andy?” “Excellent.” He gave her his standard thumbs-up. He was relieved moments later when his e-mail dinged. Sarah Mills, chief development officer at BioFutures Labs, wanted more ideas. Meeting at 10.
The Death of Grass book by John Christopher
By Thriftbooks.com User, September 26, 2007 I read an article in a mainstream food magazine called Gourmet several years ago about genetically modified foods. Apparently a scientist in one biotech company accidently created something that if it had been introduced into the environment, it would have eventually wiped out all organic matter on the continent.
