The Amazing Unity of the Universe
In the first chapters the author describes how our knowledge of the position of Earth in space and time has developed, thanks to the work of many generations of astronomers and physicists. He discusses how our position in the Galaxy was discovered, and how in 1929, Hubble uncovered the fact that the Universe is expanding, leading to the picture of the Big Bang. He then explains how astronomers have found that the laws of physics that were discovered here on Earth and in the Solar System (the laws of mechanics, gravity, atomic physics, electromagnetism, etc.) are valid throughout the Universe. This is illustrated by the fact that all matter in the Universe consists of atoms of the same chemic...

Peelwerkers
'Winter over de Peel. De werkloze peelwerkers, die achter de kachel zitten, horen hoe het in het schouwgat en de kachelpijp begint te brullen. Een plotselinge luide stem met breedgehaalde donkere zoefrukken. Er slaat een scherpe sneeuw tegen de ramen. Over de verre peelvlakte jaagt de sneeuwstorm. In de stuiving van de sneeuw, in het geweld van de vlagen staat een gemartelde den te dansen langs de besneeuwde weg. De storm raast'. Met deze roman vestigde Coolen de aandacht op het haast onmenselijke bestaan van de turfstekers in de Peel.
