Plants are commonly considered immobile, in contrast to humans and other animals. But vegetal existence involves many place-based forms of change: stems growing upward, roots spreading outward, fronds unfurling in response to sunlight, seeds traveling across wide distances, and other intricate relationships with the surrounding world. How do plants as sessile, growing, decaying, and metamorphosing beings shape the places they inhabit, and how are they shaped by them?

In 2023, Puerto Rico is still reeling from its economic woes, but it is in a sweet spot for launching satellites into orbit. Will the growing demand for rocket launches open a new door to prosperity for the territory as it begins to create a spaceport? Using curiosity and a dash of whimsy, this book explores the concept of Puerto Rico as a hub for the space applications market and its implications for the economy and the residents of the island.

As far as we can see there are countless other galaxies of all shapes and sizes set within an ever-expanding space that was created in a "Big Bang" nearly 14 billion years ago. Along with solutions to old puzzles, however, come new riddles, as most of our Universe appears to be in the form of some kind of unseen "dark matter" and incomprehensible "dark energy" whose natures and origins remain unfathomable.

This course guides listeners through the sights of the naked- eye sky, wherein we directly witness the effects of the turning and revolving of the Earth, the artistry painted by the human mind using the sky and stars, and how the view changes with time and with our place on the planet.

A proton has not changed since the universe was a second old. A knot tied in a loop of string cannot be undone without cutting. A star burns steadily for ten billion years, and then, in its final hour, snaps into one of exactly three possible afterlives. Across the whole night sky, galaxies hang in a single vast web that looks the same in every direction. We are used to explaining each of these marvels with its own private science, in its own private dialect.
