Book Description
The sixteenth volume in the Aubrey/Maturin series, and Patrick O'Brian's first bestseller in the United States. At the outset of this adventure filled with disaster and delight, Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin pursue an American privateer through the Great South Sea. The strange color of the ocean reminds Stephen of Homer's famous description, and portends an underwater volcanic eruption that will create a new island overnight and leave an indelible impression on the reader's imagination. Their ship, the Surprise, is now also a privateer, the better to escape diplomatic complications from Stephen's mission, which is to ignite the revolutionary tinder of South America. Jack will survive a desperate open boat journey and come face to face with his illegitimate black son; Stephen, caught up in the aftermath of his failed coup, will flee for his life into the high, frozen wastes of the Andes; and Patrick O'Brian's brilliantly detailed narrative will reunite them at last in a breathtaking chase through stormy seas and icebergs south of Cape Horn, where the hunters suddenly become the hunted.

Book Description
An extreme wildlife photographer explores the bizarre species that thrive in complete darkness with more than 200mesmerizing color photos. Deep inside caves, at the bottoms of oceans and lakes, beneath the ground: these concealed habitats are absent of sunlight, and yet full of life. This strange world of complete darkness is inhabited by millions of life forms that most humans have never seen. Now Danté Fenolio brings the denizens of these shadowy haunts into focus. Life in the Dark shows us the many ways in which life forms have adapted to lightless environments, including refinements of senses, evolution of unique body parts, and illumination using “biological flashlights.” Discover fascinating creatures like the firefly squid, the giant Amazonian catfish, the Chinese cavefish, and even the human bot fly, which lives in the darkness beneath its host’s skin. Fenolio’s rich and vibrant images shed new light on the world’s fascinating creatures of darkness.

Book Description
What’s in the dark? Countless generations have gazed up at the night sky and asked this question—the same question that cosmologists ask themselves as they study the universe. The answer turns out to be surprising and rich. The space between stars is filled with an exotic substance called “dark matter” that exerts gravity but does not emit, absorb, or reflect light. The space between galaxies is rife with “dark energy” that creates a sort of cosmic antigravity causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate. Together, dark matter and dark energy account for 95 percent of the content of the universe. News reporters and science journalists routinely talk about these findings using terms that they assume we have a working knowledge of, but do you really understand how astronomers arrive at their findings or what it all means? Cosmologists face a conundrum: how can we study substances we cannot see, let alone manipulate? A powerful approach is to observe objects whose motion is influenced by gravity. Einstein predicted that gravity can act like a lens to bend light. Today we see hundreds of cases of this—instances where the gravity of a distant galaxy distorts our view of a more distant object, creating multiple images or spectacular arcs on the sky. Gravitational lensing is now a key part of the international quest to understand the invisible substance that surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the universe together. A Ray of Light in a Sea of Dark Matter offers readers a concise, accessible explanation of how astronomers probe dark matter. Readers quickly gain an understanding of what might be out there, how scientists arrive at their findings, and why this research is important to us. Engaging and insightful, Charles Keeton gives everyone an opportunity to be an active learner and listener in our ever-expanding universe. Watch a video with Charles Keeton: Watch video now.

Book Description
In a world of priceless art, opulent yachts, and oceanic galas, Amanda Edge is more than just an art dealer—she’s an art detective. When a Gustav Klimt masterpiece vanishes, she embarks on a perilous quest that plunges her into Miami's elite art scene and beyond. In her hunt to recover the stolen painting, she joins forces with Daniel, the director overseeing a futuristic underwater habitat, as well as Gabrielle, renowned for her innovative yacht designs. Amanda's expertise leads the investigation through the art underworld and its uncharted waters of forgeries and priceless art thefts. Daniel and Gabrielle are haunted by a series of unsettling deaths they suspect are far from accidental. Their specialized maritime knowledge and skills become invaluable as the trio delves deeper into a whirlpool of mystery and danger. The trio’s paths become entangled with a secretive individual—known publicly as a philanthropist focused on ocean preservation—but covertly, he may be the mastermind of an illicit art syndicate. As they wade closer to their respective clues, they must navigate a complex tempest of intrigue, deception, and murder. If they fail, unsolved killings will remain a dark secret, and a tidal wave of theft and fraud risks engulfing the art world. Just when they think they're on the cusp of exposing the criminal mastermind and solving their interlocking mysteries, their investigation leads them into the foreboding waters of the Bermuda Triangle. In this treacherous zone, the boundary between the natural and supernatural dissolves, revealing an unfathomable energy that threatens anyone who encroaches upon its waters, rendering all human intentions, noble or nefarious, inconsequential in the face of the abyss.
