  • Weird Weather
    David A. J. Seargent
    This book is, in a sense, a sequel to David Seargent’s first Springer book Weird Astronomy (2010). Whereas Weird Astronomy extended over a broad range of purely astronomical topics, the present work concentrates on phenomena closer to home; the atmospheric and 'shallow space' events as opposed to deep space events. The line between astronomy and meteorology is blurred - a fact ...

  • The Greatest Comets in History
    David Seargent
    Naked-eye comets are far from uncommon. As a rough average, one appears every 18 months or thereabouts, and it is not very unusual to see more than two in a single year. The record so far seems to have been 2004, with a total of five comets visible without optical aid. But 2006, 1970, and 1911 were not far behind with a total of four apiece. Yet, the ...

  • Planet Earth and the Design Hypothesis
    David A. J. Seargent / David AJSeargent
    In many respects, our planet is a cosmic anomaly. Moreover, it is anomalous in such a way as to provide an excellent environment for complex life in what appears to be a largely hostile universe. Is this simply a fortunate coincidence, or does it speak of something more fundamental, even an underlying intelligent design in nature? To answer this question, we must isolate the ch...
