After banishing Satan and the rebellious angels from heaven, God creates earth and Adam and Eve. When Satan notices the relationship between God and the human beings, whom God calls His greatest creation of all, he is enraged. In an effort to get back at God, Satan and his demons develop a plan to trick Adam and Eve into eating the forbidden fruit, therefore turning the earth into a battleground between the forces of good and evil. You may have heard the story of Creation before, but you¿ve never heard it quite like this! The author, Sarvarski Wilson, was prompted to write this book when he noticed the many problems in the world and realized that all of those problems could have been avoided if Adam and Eve had not disobeyed God. He hopes that readers can acquire from his book hope and inspiration from the fact that even though we messed up the perfect life we once had, we can still be forgiven and have a perfect life again one day¿if we receive God¿s redemption.

No longer content to inhabit one host at a time, the Grendel entity goes viral, in this new phase of Matt Wagner's epic, which spans centuries and culminates in the rise of a new kind of host: the Grendel-Khan! As the Grendel cycle transitions into the far future, artists Tim Sale, John K. Snyder, Jay Geldhof, and Hannibal King join creator Matt Wagner for the most ambitious phase to date. From the broken world of the “Incubation Years” rise parallel figures: the corruption-fighting Orion Assante and a mysterious new Grendel. Each wages his own war against Pope Innocent XLII, in God and the Devil, and the aftermath establishes the most powerful Grendel yet, in Devil’s Reign, with Matt Wagner rewriting the rules of comics storytelling at every turn in this highly charged political drama. With over five hundred pages of visionary writing and breathtaking art, the Grendel Omnibus series takes readers deeper into Wagner’s timeless classic!

The book describes the observational work of William and Caroline Herschel. It focuses on deep-sky objects, observed 1774-1817. Most were discovered by William in the monumental sweep campaign (1783-1802), assisted by his talented sister. 2500 objects were published in three catalogues. The study of the sky from southern England also concerned double stars and the Solar System, yielding the Uranus discovery in 1781. But William Herschel was much more than a mere observer. He built large reflectors, developed new methods and thought about the nature and evolution of cosmic objects and the structure of the Milky Way. He was an extremely influential astronomer and had a worthy successor, his son John.
