Two recent books look at the very human (sometimes all-too-human) process of trying to make sense of the known universe:  The Un-Discovered Islands: An Archipelago of Myths and Mysteries  Phantoms and Fakes  by Malachy Tallack  and The Planet Factory: Exoplanets and the Search for a Second Earth  by Elizabeth Tasker .  They 're so stylistically and scientifically disparate as to seem unrelated  but reading  them  in close succession makes for something greater than the sum of its parts â a joint atlas of human guesses in a world that seems destined to confound us.
 Elizabeth Tasker  knows all about that; The Planet Factory is all about the formation of worlds humanity might never clap eyes on. And if you're hoping for definitive answers about how things work closer to home  think again;  Tasker 's very clear that the scientific method is as often about being proven wrong. "The problem (and there is always a problem)" isn't just an aside on a particular theory  but a thesis for the field. This is a book about trying to map unknown seas in real time; the ghosts of the sailors peering into the dawn looking for Thule live in every telescopic survey.
The Planet Factory can feel intimidating; certainly you must come to it wanting to know everything there is to know about making planets  and hang in there as long as you can before the variables overwhelm you. ( Tasker  offers easy analogies by the handful  and while at first they may seem too easy  you'll appreciate them by the time you're trying to understand the optimum timing of planetary migration.)

question:
TAMPA  Raheem Morris has had less than a week to assess Josh Johnson in his new role as starting quarterback  but the Bucs' coach likes everything he has seen from the second-year pro in practice.
 "It was great " Morris said. "You want the quarterback to have control of the huddle. You want him to have control of the offense. And he went out there and did that. And it was not a shock.
 "He went out there and executed his plays. He was hard on himself. He was conscientious of working the pocket. And he practiced like a pro. That's all you can really ask from anybody."
 Johnson began training camp as the fourth-team quarterback but Monday was tapped to replace Byron Leftwich as the starter for Sunday's road game against the Redskins. The work began in earnest after the team's day off Tuesday.
 "He had a really great day Wednesday " Morris said. "We came back on Thursday and didn't practice as well as we did Wednesday but he was decent. And (Friday) he cleaned up a lot of things and got a perfect red zone period in there  and he fared pretty well. Now it's time to go out to the game and actually play."
answer:
Raheem Morris
