Other Research

  • ASTRONOMY

    Who has not felt the attraction of deep space while looking up at the stars? Since the very beginnings, humankind has wonder at the brilliant dots that covered the dark velvet of the skies. They gave name to the images they saw, believing they were the gods and monsters who watched, or not, over them. Why did some stars move around them, and others remained fixed? Did they truly rule our destiny? Read More

  • GEOLOGY

    Geology studies our Earth, what is it made of and how it was made and investigates the processes and organisms that overtime have given origin to what we see today around us. Geology lets you understand how and why are there mountains, lakes, deserts, volcanoes. It explains how the different rocks were made, even the most precious stones! Read More

  • HISTORY

    In my research for my novels I have investigated ancient history of India, Egypt, Mesopotamia, and England. India fascinated me since very early, when I heard about the abandoned cities of Mohenjo Daro and Harappa. The new archaeological research on this civilization has shown how greatly advanced it was, even more than Egypt or Mesopotamia at that time, and it is my consideration that the Indus Valley Civilization dates from earlier even than Egypt or Summeria. Interested in History?

  • SPACE

    Are you interested in potential Earth impact events? Do you wonder about the Sun from its deep core to the outer corona and the solar wind? Or the effect a CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) could have on Earth?
    The Younger Dryas impact hypothesis posits a comet of large proportions impacting North America around 12,500 years BCE and causing the end of that current glaciation, rising of oceans' levels and the demise of the great mammals and the Clovis people. Recent proof of a crater found in Greenland on 2018 sustains this theory.

  • MY FATHER

    José Martí Crítico de Arte, por Julio de los Santos, MD

    I present here the work of Julio de los Santos, my father; Medical Doctor, English Language professor, photographer, botanist, polyglot; he pondered all matters scientific and literary and wrote a book some forty years ago about José Martí's literary work. We offer it to the public in this website, hosted by the author’s daughter with love and veneration. May his work finally see the light. Read More

  • GARDENING

    I wandered lonely as a cloud
    That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
    When all at once I saw a crowd,
    A host, of golden daffodils;
    Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
    Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

    I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud By William Wordsworth (excerpt)

  • WEATHER

    Meteorology is not the same as Climatology. Meteorology centers on short term weather forecasts for no much longer than 7 or 10 days. Climatology, on the other hand aims to understand, develop and analyze weather pattern models for long-term study, for months and years in the future. However, the links I've gathered are here, together, under Weather.

  • OCEAN

    Earth's habitable regions make up only one-quarter, the rest belongs to acuatic fauna and flora. Oceans, lakes, rivers, ponds, everything that holds the much needed water makes up the majority of our world, and we are losing it. Dead Zones on Google Earth will show you the staggering amount of places where the seas are EMPTY of life. Is this what you truly want for your sons, daughters and grandkids? Read More
