Synopsis
A distinguished geoscientist and rising-star astrobiologist offer a stunning new theory upending 150 years of established science–and an inspiring new vision of our universe
In Time’s Second Arrow, Robert M. Hazen and Michael L. Wong overturn more than a century of scientific canon, arguing that there must be a second “arrow of time”—a heretofore missing law of nature that explains how the marvellously complex constituents of our universe came to be. Evolution, they boldly propose, is a universal phenomenon–not only in biology, but in the entire atomic, chemical, mineral and physical universe. Showing how a natural process of selection for increasing function has shaped the universe since its inception, they explore how this new law could possibly help us identify life on other planets and–perhaps–even understand the purpose and meaning of life on Earth in a new way.
Elegantly written and deeply moving, Time’s Second Arrow reveals how our cosmic inheritance includes a drive toward wondrous invention and progress—ultimately revising our understanding of the universe and our place within it.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. In Where It Hurts, more than 60 doctors, nurses, therapists, EMTs, patient advocates, and other medical professionals offer a window into the space between health and illness, life and death as they share stories of difficult patients, life-changing diagnoses, their own failures, and the successes that make everything worth it. What they feel, we feel, in highly relatable, beautifully written essays, poems, and short stories that are by turns conversational, urgent, plain-spoken, spare, poetic, heart-rending, and heart-mending. A doctor shares the do-or-die pep talk she gives herself when intubating a young patient. A nurse contemplates how to act when tending to a woman accused of murder. A GI fellow serves up an unorthodox "cure" for an ER regular with a proclivity for fajitas. An intensive care physician recalls the surreal early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. A therapist carts a box of police reports, abandoned by a long-ago patient, to yet another new office. Anger, shame, panic, loneliness, love, hate, wonder, joy: They're all part of a day's work. As the authors of each piece unpack the highs and lows of their vocation, they teach us what it means to empathize deeply, to live fully, and to be human. A distinguished geoscientist and rising-star astrobiologist offer a stunning new theory upending 150 years of established scienceand an inspiring new vision of our universe Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
