After reading this book, I am officially adding Alex North to my top favorite authors and I’m currently reading his other book, The Shadows. I realized that most of my favorite books are written by female authors. I loved it so much and I’m now kicking myself for not reading it sooner. It took me a while to finally buy it and read it. It was recommended for me on Goodreads and I was immediately intrigued by the cover. The Whisper Man by Alex North has been on my radar for a while.

He also chaired the first international conference of The Mars Society, an organization dedicated to the concept of manned missions and settlement of Mars, in August 1998. Zubrin is a former senior engineer with Lockheed Martin and the founder of Pioneer Astronautics, a space exploration and development firm. Mars' atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide, which provides enormous supplies of the two most important biological elements carbon and oxygen - which can be directly taken up and incorporated into plant life. On Wednesday, NASAs Stennis Space Center in Hancock County tested its first built-from-scratch engine for the Artemis V mission. Enough so that if it was melted and Mars' terrain was smoothed out, it would cover the entire planet with an ocean several hundred meters deep, he claims. The planet may appear to be an uninhabitable desert, but beneath its sands are oceans of water in the form of permafrost, Zubrin said. "Mars has what it takes" to support colonization, he said in a recent article on the NASA Web site. One of the world's foremost proponents of the colonization of Mars, Zubrin is a member of NASA's Mars Exploration Long Term Strategy Working Group. In "The Case for Mars: The Plan to Settle the Red Planet and Why We Must, Robert Zubrin explains step-by-step how we can use present-day technology to send humans to Mars within 10 years produce fuel and oxygen on the planet's surface with Martian natural resources build bases and settlements on the planet and alter the planet's atmosphere to pave the way for sustainable life. This book is a case in point, or rather, it explains why Dark Emu is a case in point. It has taught me something else too – that it is better to rely on works written by people with qualifications in the field, than by people who write popular books, no matter how well. The last couple of years have taught me how little I know about early human history, not least that of Australia. Drawing on the knowledge of Aboriginal elders, previously not included within this discussion, and decades of anthropological scholarship, Sutton and Walshe provide extensive evidence to support their argument that classical Aboriginal society was a hunter-gatherer society and as sophisticated as the traditional European farming methods.įarmers or Hunter-gatherers? asks Australians to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of Aboriginal society and culture. In Farmers or Hunter-gatherers? Peter Sutton and Keryn Walshe ask why Australians have been so receptive to the notion that farming represents an advance from hunting and gathering.

An authoritative study of pre-colonial Australia that dismantles and reframes popular narratives of First Nations land management and food productionĪustralians' understanding of Aboriginal society prior to the British invasion from 1788 has been transformed since the publication of Bruce Pascoe's Dark Emu in 2014.

But the people living there at that time call it Meluha, a near-perfect, disciplined society that lives by the rules laid down by Lord Rama himself. It is the year 1900 BC in the area that the world today knows as the site of the Indus Valley Civilisation. A destiny which makes him a saviour and a god, and whose arrival has been prophesied in an ancient legend. The first book in the Shiva Trilogy, it introduces Shiva as an ordinary human being with an extraordinary destiny in store for him. The author of The Immortals of Meluha(Westland, pp.412, Rs.195), Amish, has no such inhibitions. Probably, that’s why many of his devotees do not think of Shiva’s origins - perhaps, the fact that Shiva is a God and is, therefore, eternal inhibits them from thinking about his beginnings. For millions he is a revered God, an ishta devta, worshipped in his myriad forms. Most Indians, and certainly all Hindus, know Shiva in all these forms and then some more.
