| "Our Cosmic Habitat" |
| "Our universe seems strangely biophilic or hospitable to life Is this happenstance providence or coincidence? According to cosmologist Martin Rees the answer depends on the answer to another question the one posed by Einstein's famous remark What interests me most is whether God could have made the world differently This highly engaging book explores the fascinating consequences of the answer being yes Rees explores the notion that our universe is just a part of a vast multiverse or ensemble of universes in which most of the other universes are lifeless What we call the laws of nature would then be no more than local bylaws imposed in the aftermath of our own Big Bang In this scenario our cosmic habitat would be a special possibly unique universe where the prevailing laws of physics allowed life to emerge Rees begins by exploring the nature of our solar system and examining a range of related issues such as whether our universe is or isn't infinite He asks for example How likely is life? How credible is the Big Bang theory? Rees then peers into the long-range cosmic future before tracing the causal chain backward to the beginning He concludes by trying to untangle the paradoxical notion that our entire universe stretching 10 billion light-years in all directions emerged from an infinitesimal speck As Rees argues we may already have intimations of other universes But the fate of the multiverse concept depends on the still-unknown bedrock nature of space and time on scales a trillion trillion times smaller than atoms in the realm governed by the quantum physics of gravity Expanding our comprehension of the cosmos Our Cosmic Habitat will be read and enjoyed by all those--scientists and nonscientists alike--who are as fascinated by the universe we inhabit as is the author himself"

| Turner |
| "In this absorbing analysis of the life and art of J M W Turner (1775-1851) Barry Venning argues that it is necessary to look at Turner's work in its original contexts in order to understand thoroughly the painter's creative decisions His early career was dominated by the Napoleonic Wars and on his extensive travels he witnessed far-reaching transformations in social economic and political life Industrialization agrarian change and constitutional reform are all represented in his work but he also made a lifelong study of natural forms and phenomena all of which gave rise to paintings that are as rich in layers of meaning as they are in visual effects Venning covers all aspects of the artist's career concluding with a vigorously fresh look at Turner's artistic legacy"
