Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Aging - The Autumn Phase of Life tells the story of the author, his wife and many friends and neighbors who are residents in a continuing care retirement community. Both touching and practical, the book considers how we get old, some of the misconceptions about old age and many issues that must be considered both before, and during, the final years of one's earthly life. Questions about financial planning, spiritual, psychological, emotional and bodily health are addressed and positive, concrete plans are presented for execution. Importantly, the book addresses the pitfalls of denying old age is happening. The personal stories told by the senior citizens interviewed by the author are uplifting, light hearted and full of wisdom. This book is a must read for those approaching retirement age, people with aging parents who are facing the difficult choices that old age may present and those who are already in their own personal autumn phase of life. An extensive bibliography will lead the reader to important books, periodicals and websites that are full of valuable information. Johnson, Ms. Kristen (ilustrador).…

Paperback. Condición: Good. .this old-fashioned tale of friendship radiates warmth and authenticity. One day Blue discovers Peach weeping up in a tree, longing to see the world beyond her branch. Forming a tower of toads, Blue and his siblings rescue her. As she drinks in the sights of the pond, Peach opens Blue's eyes to the beauty of the world that he takes for granted. In a bittersweet ending, Blue brings water and a willow branch dripping with tree milk to a peaked Peach, He tells her she can stay there forever, and Peach says she doesn't think she'll last forever. Blue replies, 'That's okay. Not many folks do. But until then, you have me, and I have you.'

Hardback. Condición: Good. Sarah Stewart Johnson interweaves her own coming-of-age story as a planetary scientist with a vivid history of the exploration of Mars in this celebration of human curiosity, passion, and perseverance.--Alan Lightman, author of Einstein's Dreams WINNER OF THE PHI BETA KAPPA AWARD FOR SCIENCE - NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review - Times (UK) - Library Journal Lovely . . . Johnson's prose swirls with lyrical wonder, as varied and multihued as the apricot deserts, butterscotch skies and blue sunsets of Mars.--Anthony Doerr, The New York Times Book Review Mars was once similar to Earth, but today there are no rivers, no lakes, no oceans. Coated in red dust, the terrain is bewilderingly empty. And yet multiple spacecraft are circling Mars, sweeping over Terra Sabaea, Syrtis Major, the dunes of Elysium, and Mare Sirenum--on the brink, perhaps, of a staggering find, one that would inspire humankind as much as any discovery in the history of modern science. In this beautifully observed, deeply personal book, Georgetown scientist Sarah Stewart Johnson tells the story of how she and other researchers have scoured Mars for signs of life, transforming the planet from a distant point of light into a world of its own. Johnson's fascination with Mars began as a child in Kentucky, turning over rocks with her father and looking at planets in the night sky. She now conducts fieldwork in some of Earth's most hostile environments, such as the Dry Valleys of Antarctica and the salt flats of Western Australia, developing methods for detecting life on other worlds. Here, with poetic precision, she interlaces her own personal journey--as a female scientist and a mother--with tales of other seekers, from Percival Lowell, who was convinced that a utopian society existed on Mars, to Audouin Dollfus, who tried to carry out astronomical observations from a stratospheric balloon. In the process, she shows how the story of Mars is also a story about Earth: This other world has been our mirror, our foil, a telltale reflection of our own anxieties and yearnings. Empathetic and evocative, The Sirens of Mars offers an unlikely natural history of a place where no human has ever set foot, while providing a vivid portrait of our quest to defy our isolation in the cosmos.…
