Pleiades
ISBN: 9781548964580 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) After a year or so as Acting Dean and Provost at UCSC, I took my first sabbatical and decided to spend some time traveling as well as considering what I'd do for contrast. What then occurred was probably more a mid-life crisis than a break from academia. One of my first research studies was to combine art and science in the design of a radio telescope that supposedly worked, gave indications of changes through sound output (SETI) and looked, I thought, quite elegant. I then gathered a robust and professional group of scientists, artists, and musicians to help make my dream a reality.

Less than a story but certainly something the cops should know about, he gives them the information. They, of course, want to know the names of the sources. Or else. This then leads him on a legal mission that will put his own life in jeopardy. Doing the right thing, apparently, is not always doing the right thing.
