Book Description
In 2352 AD, humankind has irresponsibly short-changed themselves as the destructive forces of greed-fascism exploit our home for its perceived riches at the sacrifice of the 'wellbeing' of the human condition. The battle to preserve THE GLASS PLANET from Minister Riverstrike and the human forces seeking dominance and wealth over the masses is on the shoulders of the two time-travelers from the 20th century who gain celebrity as the first time-travelers in history. They inspire the Zealot Sentinels, lead by the Commander Janalake, who is a trusted advisor to Minister Riverstrike, but she harbors a mysterious past with an affection for the proletariat. The future of the existence of the human race will forever change, if it is able to survive at all, by preserving THE GLASS PLANET!

Book Description
The poems in Dobby Gibson’s new book transform the everyday into the revelatory Little Glass Planet exults in the strangeness of the known and unknowable world. In poems set as far afield as Mumbai and Marfa, Texas, Dobby Gibson maps disparate landscapes, both terrestrial and subliminal, to reveal the drama of the quotidian. Aphoristic, allusive, and collaged, these poems mine our various human languages to help us understand what we might mean when we speak to each other—as lovers, as family, as strangers. Little Glass Planet uses lyric broadcasts to foreshorten the perceived distances between us, opening borders and pointing toward a sense of collectivity. “This is my love letter to the world,” Gibson writes, “someone call us a sitter. / We’re going to be here a while.” Elegiac, funny, and candid, Little Glass Planet is a kind of manual for paying attention to a world that is increasingly engineered to distract us from our own humanity. It’s a book that points toward hope, offering the possibilities of a “we” that only the open frequency of poetry can create, possibilities that are indistinguishable from love.

Book Description
The Indiginous people on a young planet find themselves thrust into a new world of thought and culture when accidently invaded by a deep-space research team from an alien world. Loosely retold stories of the Bible starting with the experience of Ezekiel and then the first book of Moses, this is an interesting history retold in novel form, that our world of belief might have started with the visitation of extra-terrestrial visitors. What if the miracles in the bible and even God himself were close encounters with extra-terrestrials? This premise is explored here in fiction, in the first book of the series, "The Glass Planet: The Clear Beings."

Book Description
"This volume includes all first 3 stories of the Glass Planet Series, The Clear Beings, Gabriel's Objective, and the Silver Sarcophagus (new 2013). An indiginous people on a young planet are accidently invaded by a deep space research team of aliens. And their lives are forever changed. The ancient god-father is displaced, then returns and effects great changes for the now nomadic peoples of his descent. He attempts to aid, but almost destroys them with his love, and then he dies despondantly deep in space. The mystery of his death is solved in the discovery of the Silver Sarcophagus five thousand years later. The ancient beacon is triggered. And these ancient children of the Clear Being await his return."Science-fiction Horror w/Biblical elements.This book seems to be the Atheist test: everyone that starts it gets angry for some reason, even when they claim that they are open-minded atheists. This book is a story of a possibility of the origins of the bible stories, where divine intervention is really ancient extraterrestrial intervention. This simple story carries the reader so convincingly for such a long time, then when you realize you are being re-told the bible stories of exodus, then I think people feel tricked. But if its so real and convincing, then maybe its time for this story. I think most people have been so deeply indoctrinated with God-created origins of life and the sacredness of the bible, that even seriously espoused atheists have trouble being open-minded about it. The Bible is a beautiful ancient work of poetry and story telling. I'm open to it being true history, then how are the miracles explained? By other than beings more experienced and more powerful than us, and we think them Gods; then we believe it's one God. How is God any different than an Alien? God's less real! People say they don't believe in aliens because they've never seen one; but I've never seen this God guy or Jesus, anymore than just in my mind's eye, and 3 billion people on this planet believe in Him. Which is what this book is: a new journey thru possibilities in your mind's eye. See if you can keep your mind open enough to read it all. You can skip the gory parts about aliens eating other aliens if you want; that's in there just for fun. So that is it: it's too similar the comparison: God and Extraterrestrials. Atheists want to try to believe that we are alone in this universe. Utterly alone. Except that science has told us the with the proliferation of planets in the millions of galaxies in this universe, the chances of other life forms is almost certain. Which is probably why some people are so adamant. Aliens might be scarier than God because see now that they might actually be real, flesh and blood kind of real. it is as good an argument as the god-created life explanation. Its almost the same argument in fact: superior beings intervened.. And that's why Christians and non-Christians become so upset when they read this book. They feel they're being tricked into a goofy fiction, just like the other one, and they feel they are being made fun of. And that's why its called fiction; because it probably all is. Aliens and God. The universe that we perceive is what I call "the amazing complexity of life we will never fully understand, and half of it is illusion anyway," just to keep it short, at least not until that last 'ah-hah' moment right before we burn up in the black hole that will then explode and become the new universe-reality starting with all new information. Maybe this time we can do without the gossipers? We have lived with this myth of god for so long without him actually showing up, that we have become inured from the fear of it, uh, Him. But then science has told us of the probability of other life, intelligent life, and then modern entertainment has brought aliens to life. And the fear of them actually showing up may be becoming more real for people than a vengeful god. NMR 2014

Book Description
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Dava Sobel, the "inspiring" (People), little-known true story of women's landmark contributions to astronomy A New York Times Book Review Notable Book Named one of the best books of the year by NPR, The Economist, Smithsonian, Nature, and NPR's Science Friday Nominated for the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award "A joy to read.” —The Wall Street Journal In the mid-nineteenth century, the Harvard College Observatory began employing women as calculators, or “human computers,” to interpret the observations their male counterparts made via telescope each night. At the outset this group included the wives, sisters, and daughters of the resident astronomers, but soon the female corps included graduates of the new women's colleges—Vassar, Wellesley, and Smith. As photography transformed the practice of astronomy, the ladies turned from computation to studying the stars captured nightly on glass photographic plates. The “glass universe” of half a million plates that Harvard amassed over the ensuing decades—through the generous support of Mrs. Anna Palmer Draper, the widow of a pioneer in stellar photography—enabled the women to make extraordinary discoveries that attracted worldwide acclaim. They helped discern what stars were made of, divided the stars into meaningful categories for further research, and found a way to measure distances across space by starlight. Their ranks included Williamina Fleming, a Scottish woman originally hired as a maid who went on to identify ten novae and more than three hundred variable stars; Annie Jump Cannon, who designed a stellar classification system that was adopted by astronomers the world over and is still in use; and Dr. Cecilia Helena Payne, who in 1956 became the first ever woman professor of astronomy at Harvard—and Harvard’s first female department chair. Elegantly written and enriched by excerpts from letters, diaries, and memoirs, The Glass Universe is the hidden history of the women whose contributions to the burgeoning field of astronomy forever changed our understanding of the stars and our place in the universe.
