Denne bog fortæller historien om to initiativrige personer der i 1894 startede som ”Smith & Co. Isenkram engros og kommission”. De fik hurtigt øje for transportmidler – cykler, biler, motorcykler, knallerter og deraf afledte produktioner. Den ”rejse” bliver beskrevet med hovedvægten lagt på knallertproduktionen, som startede i Kochsgade 31 i Odense i 1951 og sluttede på Grand i Nørre Aaby i 1978.
"A concise and accessible introduction to exoplanets that explains the cutting-edge science behind recent discoveries. For centuries, people have speculated about the possibility of planets orbiting distant stars, but only since the 1990s has technology allowed astronomers to detect them. At this point, more than five thousand such exoplanets have been identified, with the pace of discovery accelerating after the launch of NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Satellite Survey and the Webb Space Telescope. In The Little Book of Exoplanets, Princeton astrophysicist Joshua Winn offers a brief and engaging introduction to the search for exoplanets and the cutting-edge science behind recent findings. In doing so, he chronicles the dawn of a new age of discovery-one that has rapidly transformed astronomy and our broader understanding of the universe. Scientists now know that many Sun-like stars host their own systems of planets, some of which may resemble our solar system and include planets similar to the Earth. But, Winn tells us, the most remarkable discoveries so far have been of planets with unexpected and decidedly un-Earth-like properties, which have upended what we thought we knew about the origins of planetary systems. Winn provides an inside view of the sophisticated detective work astronomers perform as they find and study exoplanets and describes the surprising-sometimes downright bizarre-planets and systems they have found. He explains how these discoveries are revolutionizing astronomy, and he explores the current status and possible future of the search for another Earth. Finally, drawing on his own and other scientists' work, he considers how the discovery of exoplanets and their faraway solar systems changes our perspectives on the universe and our place in it"--
The official report and findings of the bipartisan Congressional investigation into the January 6 attack on the Capitol, and Donald Trump's related coup conspiracies to overthrow the election, with an original foreword by attorney and Emmy-winning MSNBC anchor Ari Melber.Only the entire, authoritative House committee report can capture the full range of plots that have been exposed over time, from the violent attack on January 6 to related efforts revealed months after the insurrection. This definitive edition features: • The historic, official text of the House Committee report on the insurrection• New independent analysis of the coup conspiracy by MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber• The definitive accounting of Donald Trump's efforts to end American democracy This is the only edition of the report featuring an additional, original analysis of the coup by a journalist and lawyer at the center of the action -- Melber has interviewed top members of this Committee, Jan. 6 rally planners and other cooperating witnesses, and Trump White House veterans ranging from Steve Bannon to Peter Navarro (now indicted for defying this probe). His report documents how Trump's plots comprise a continuous coup conspiracy -- not a ?riot? that exploded in a ?single day? -- and why that factual prism is vital for accountability, justice, and preventing the next coup attempt.In chilling detail, he shows how that process might have engineered a technical effort to ?override? the election on the floor of Congress?an essential map, and warning, for those who wish to protect democracy. If warnings are ignored and there is no accountability for the plotters at the top, a failed coup may become a training exercise.This report is not only a vital document in modern American history, it can also inform efforts to protect the future of American democracy. As a matter of justice, bipartisanship, and even patriotism, this report will become essential reading for any American determined to defend our democracy.

When Paul Rosolie, a restless eighteen-year-old hungry for adventure, embarked on a journey to the western Amazon in 2006, he didn't know that it would transform his life. In the Madre de Dios ("Mother of God") region of Peru, where the Amazon River begins, the cloud forests of the Andes converge with the lowland Amazon rain forest to create the most biodiverse wilderness on the planet.In a true story of adventure and discovery that spans more than nine years, Rosolie takes us into the most inaccessible reaches of the Amazon. Along the way, he encounters massive snakes, isolated tribes, prowling jaguars, giant anteaters, and much more in the Wild West of the natural world. It is a journey into the last great wilderness that ultimately asks the question of our time: How much longer will these places exist? The primordial depths of the Madre de Dios are in grave danger.Mother of God is the story of an amazing odyssey into the heart of the wildest place on earth. But as Rosolie delves deeper into the heart of the jungle, he finds things he never imagined could exist. And as the legendary explorer Percy Fawcett warned, "The few remaining unknown places of the world exact a price for their secrets."

The State of Tamil Nadu has a hoary antiquity. Though early sangam classics throw historical references, we pass to recorded history only from the Pallavas. The southern states of India were under the hegemony of the Cholas, the Cheras and the Pandyas for centuries. The Pallavas held supremacy from about the second quarter of the fourth century A.D. They were the originators of the famous Dravidian style of temple architecture. The last Pallava ruler was Aparajita, in whose reign the later Cholas under Vijayalaya and Aditya asserted themselves by about the 10th century. At the end of the 11th century, Tamil Nadu was ruled by several dynasties like the Chalukyas, Cholas and Pandyas. In the two centuries that followed, the imperial Cholas gained paramountcy over South India. Muslims gradually strengthened their position, which led to the establishment of the Bahamani Sultanate, by the middle of the 14th century. At the same time, the Vijayanagar Kingdom quickly consolidated itself and extended its sway over the whole of South India, and at the close of the century, Vijayanagar became the supreme power in South. However, it crumbled at the battle of Talikota in 1564 to the confederate forces of the Deccan Sultans. The structure of the government of Tamil Nadu, like that of most other states of India, is determined by the national constitution of 1950. The head of state is the governor, who is appointed by the president of India. The book is of great utility to students, teachers, tourists, guides and general readers.

For godt 100 år siden - helt nøjagtigt 1. april 1904 - overtog Julius Ørum-Petersen et lille smedeværksted i Herning fra smedemester J. Hansen. Her blev grunden lagt til J. Ørum Petersens Karosserifabrik, som udviklede sig til - i perioder - at blive Danmarks største producent af buskarrosserier. Siden sin barndom har Michael Sinding, der har været bibliotekar i Nærum, været fascineret af busserne fra Herning, og han havde i lang tid haft lyst til at skildre virksomhedens historie og produktion. Muligheden opstod, da der i 2003 dukkede en større samling fotografier op. Dette materiale er nu samlet i en bog og er hermed tilgængeligt for en større kreds. Busserne fra Ørum-P var vidt berømte over det ganske land. Mottoet, Kvalitet, skønhed og styrke, gjorde man alt for at leve op til. Man præsterede det ypperste og var førende inden for busdesign. Tag med på en spændende rejse gennem et hjørne af dansk bilhistorie, som i mere end 200 illustrationer præsenterer den mangfoldighed af karrosserier, som J. Ørum-Petersens Karosserifabrik frembragte i de i knap 60 år, der blev bygget busser i Herning.
I Stautrup sydvest for Aarhus grundlagde Rasmus Skaarup i 1906 et karetmagerværksted, der over årene udviklede sig til Stautrup Karosserifabrik. Oprindeligt var det reparation og bygning af hestekøretøjer, som værkstedet beskæftigede sig med, men omkring 1920 blev det fremstillingen af karrosserier til busser, vare- og lastvogne, der dominerede produktionen. I årene herefter blev fabrikken løbende udvidet, men besættelsen i 1940 satte en stopper for udviklingen. I årene efter 1945 kom der igen gang i hjulene, og det var for det meste busser, fabrikken herefter beskæftigede sig med at bygge. I 1950'erne blev fabrikken igen udvidet, og flere nye produktionsmetoder holdt sit indtog. Op gennem 1960'erne blev konkurrencen skærpet for produktion af buskarrosserier, men Stautrup Karosserifabrik holdt skansen ved at begynde at bygge bogbusser, ligesom man optog en nicheproduktion med ombygning af kassevogne til minibusser. Udover opbyggervirksomheden har fabrikken også udført reparationsarbejder og klargøring af busser. I 1990'erne blev konkurrencen hårdere og hårdere, og den lille virksomhed havde ingen muligheder for at rationalisere produktionen yderligere. Og i efteråret 2002 besluttede Rasmus Skaarups efterkommere at lukke virksomheden. Hvor virksomheden i Stautrup lå, er der i dag (2015) bygget rækkehuse og intet afslører, at der i næsten 100 år lå en karrosserifabrik på stedet.
