Our world proves anything but average in Guillermo Gonzalez and Jay W. Richards’ The Privileged Planet: How Our Place in the Cosmos Is Designed for Discovery. But what exactly does Earth bring to the table? How does it prove its worth among numerous planets and constellations in the vastness of the Milky Way? In The Privileged Planet, you’ll learn about the world’s life-sustaining capabilities, water and its miraculous makeup, protection by the planetary giants, and how our planet came into existence in the first place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The writing of this book was both a spiritual and intellectual journey.It took more than ten years to complete while having to be revised andupdated constantly. Th is is no-holds-barred literature where the authorsays what he means and means what he says! He does not mintz his words.Th e Conscious Planet thinks outside the box and breaks all the rules oftraditional thinking. Sometimes this information can be brutally honest orpainfully real. Th is author is not trying to win any popularity contest. Hetells it like it really is and doesn't care what anyone thinks!Th e Conscious Planet is what the government and big corporations whocontrol it don't want you to know! It is the truth about the truth andnothing but the truth, so help me !In the modern world, people only know what multinational corporationswant them to know, not what they should know! And it is this taintedknowledge which is creating a society of pathetic drones, who like poordoomed sheep, are too busy just trying to survive to see that the wool is beingpulled over their eyes while being led to slaughter! Because these corporateimperatives are being paid for at the expense of the future of mankind!Before you patronize any product, be conscious about what it's doing toyour health, to the earth, and how it will aff ect future generations.Skeptics have warned the author that this book will receive nominalsuccess, that it represents a small niche market, and not everyone wouldbe interested in such literature. And in retort to this assertion, it shouldbe acknowledged that yes, it is sadly true that not everyone would beinterested in this book because the information herein may not pertaindirectly to their life or general well being. So in understanding, who wouldbe interested in this book, let's narrow it down by eliminating the types ofindividual who would not directly benefi t:x1. People who are immortal:Yes, these people might not care about this book: heck, if youwere immortal, you might eat Twinkies and cheese-burgers allday long.2. People who have another planet to live on:Th is is true: why would they care if the world goes to hell in a handbasket? See Ya!Well, lucky them: however, for the other seven billion people who inhabitthe planet earth who are not immortal, and who don't have anotherplanet to live on --then this book is absolutely the most important bookthey may ever read!Become a part ofThe Conscious Planet

Book excerpt: “Fascinating . . . memorable . . . revealing . . . perhaps the best of Carl Sagan’s books.”—The Washington Post Book World (front page review) In Cosmos, the late astronomer Carl Sagan cast his gaze over the magnificent mystery of the Universe and made it accessible to millions of people around the world. Now in this stunning sequel, Carl Sagan completes his revolutionary journey through space and time. Future generations will look back on our epoch as the time when the human race finally broke into a radically new frontier—space. In Pale Blue Dot, Sagan traces the spellbinding history of our launch into the cosmos and assesses the future that looms before us as we move out into our own solar system and on to distant galaxies beyond. The exploration and eventual settlement of other worlds is neither a fantasy nor luxury, insists Sagan, but rather a necessary condition for the survival of the human race. “Takes readers far beyond Cosmos . . . Sagan sees humanity’s future in the stars.”—Chicago Tribune

Book excerpt: The acclaimed author of In Search of Schr�dinger's Cat searches for life on other planets Are we alone in the universe? Surely amidst the immensity of the cosmos there must be other intelligent life out there. Don't be so sure, says John Gribbin, one of today's best popular science writers.

Written by one of our foremost popular science writers, author of the bestselling In Search of Schr�dinger's Cat Offers a bold answer to the eternal question, ""Are we alone in the universe?"" Explores how the impact of a ""supercomet"" with Venus 600 million years ago created our moon, and along with it, the perfect conditions for life on Earth From one of our most talented science writers, this book is a daring, fascinating exploration into the dawning of the universe, cosmic collisions and their consequences, and the uniqueness of life on Earth.
