David Hamilton Knihy

Souboj dvou známých postav z Divokého západu.

Nejdramatičtější údobí dějin Spojených států - občanská válka Severu proti Jihu - bylo plné událostí, které si s tragičností doby nezadají. David Hamilton ve svém románu využívá krvavé výpravy Quantrillovy bandy k představení Buffala Billa, bojovníka za svobodu, a jeho přítele Williama Hickoka, šerifa a postrachu desperátů. Tito dva hrdinové mají za úkol "odstranit" Quantrillovu bandu, která terorizuje oblasti věrné vládě Unie a znesnadňuje postup federálních vojsk. Během akce se z nich stávají lovená zvěř, když Quantrill vyhlásí odměnu tisíc dolarů na hlavu slavného scouta Williama Codyho. Tato částka láká mnohé a může přivést Indiány na válečnou stezku. Buffalo Bill, pronásledovaný Quantrillovými lidmi, musí bojovat proti nepřátelům a nástrahám, aby si zachoval život a splnil úkol. Bez prozrazování detailů, které by ubraly na dobrodružství a překvapení, lze říci, že tato kniha patří k nejzdařilejším vyprávěním Davida Hamiltona, považovaného za jednoho z nejlepších autorů westernu.

V románu plném napínavého děje se oba legendární hrdinové amerického westernu setkávají ke konečnému zúčtování. Kniha není čistým westernem, je vyprávěna způsobem, která má blíže k detektivnímu románu a navíc upoutá i zasvěcenou znalostí dobových reálií.

A contemporary of Galileo and a forerunner of Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) was a pioneering German scientist and a pivotal figure in the history of astronomy. This colorful, well-researched biography brings the man and his scientific discoveries to life, showing how his contributions were every bit as important as those of Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton. It was Kepler who first advocated the completely new concept of a physical force emanating from the sun that controls the motion of the planets--today we call this gravity and take it for granted. He also established that the orbits of the planets were elliptical in shape and not circular. And his three laws of planetary motion are still used by contemporary astronomers and space scientists. The author focuses not just on these and other momentous breakthroughs but also on Kepler's arduous life, punctuated by frequent tragedy and hardships. His first wife died young, and eight of the twelve children he fathered succumbed to disease in infancy or childhood. He was frequently caught up in the religious persecutions of the day. His mother narrowly escaped death when she was accused of being a witch. Intermingling historical and personal details of Kepler's life with lucid explanations of his scientific research, this book presents a sympathetic portrait of the man and underscores the critical importance of Kepler's discoveries in the history of astronomy.
