It considers early stories about the universe in various cultures; recent space fiction; the origins and cultural rationale for the space age; experiences of humans in space and their emerging interactions with robots and artificial intelligence; how humans should treat environments and alien life; and the alternative futures of space exploration and settlement.

Synopsis The Space Barons by : Christian Davenport

The historic quest to rekindle the human exploration and colonization of space led by two rivals and their vast fortunes, egos, and visions of space as the next entrepreneurial frontier The Space Barons is the story of a group of billionaire entrepreneurs who are pouring their fortunes into the epic resurrection of the American space program. Nearly a half-century after Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, these Space Barons-most notably Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, along with Richard Branson and Paul Allen-are using Silicon Valley-style innovation to dramatically lower the cost of space travel, and send humans even further than NASA has gone. These entrepreneurs have founded some of the biggest brands in the world-Amazon, Microsoft, Virgin, Tesla, PayPal-and upended industry after industry. Now they are pursuing the biggest disruption of all: space. Based on years of reporting and exclusive interviews with all four billionaires, this authoritative account is a dramatic tale of risk and high adventure, the birth of a new Space Age, fueled by some of the world's richest men as they struggle to end governments' monopoly on the cosmos. The Space Barons is also a story of rivalry-hard-charging startups warring with established contractors, and the personal clashes of the leaders of this new space movement, particularly Musk and Bezos, as they aim for the moon and Mars and beyond.

Synopsis 'Greek' and 'Roman' in Latin Medical Texts by : Brigitte Maire

Latin medical texts transmit medical theories and practices that originated mainly in Greece. This interaction took place through juxtaposition, assimilation and transformation of ideas. 'Greek' and 'Roman' in Latin Medical Texts studies the ways in which this cultural interaction influenced the development of the medical profession and the growth of knowledge of human and animal bodies, and especially how it provided the foundations for innovations in the areas of anatomy, pathology and pharmacology, from the earliest Latin medical texts until well into the medieval world.

Synopsis Espírito perdido by : P.J. Maia

Keana é uma refugiada criada numa terra estranha, há muito tempo. No reino fugaz de Divagar, deuses e deusas desfrutam de luxo e da vida eterna às custas dos humanos comuns. Não conhecem fome, perigo ou morte, trancafiados num paraíso ensolarado. Se Keana conseguir descobrir sua origem proibida, os deuses talvez precisem fazer sacrifícios para proteger seus privilégios eternos. Mesmo que o sacrifício seja a vida dela. PAULO JOSÉ MAIA nasceu em 1986, em Campo Grande, Brasil. É filho de mãe engenheira e pai advogado, e tem um irmão mais velho artista plástico. Quando criança, era fascinado por idiomas e fábulas fantásticas. Aos 15 anos, já fluente em inglês, foi morar nos Estados Unidos, onde seus colegas apelidaram-no de P. J. (apelido que emprega até hoje). Sob a recomendação de sua professora de inglês em Sioux Falls, Dakota do Sul, P. J. entrou na Associação de Escritores de sua escola. Mais tarde, se formou em Rádio & TV na Fundação Armando Álvares Penteado em São Paulo e se mudou para Nova York, onde estudou roteiro de cinema na NYU e começou uma carreira como produtor audiovisual. Desde então, vive entre os dois hemisférios, criando aventuras em sua mente
