Book Synopsis The New Gold Rush by : Joseph N. Pelton
Download or read book The New Gold Rush written by Joseph N. Pelton and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-04 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book captures the most exciting advances in the harnessing of space as a global resource. The authors track the growing number of space businesses and opportunities for investors, and the many possible benefits of spaceplanes, space stations and even space colonies. The authors also discuss the need for more regulatory reform. Companies like Planetary Resources are now forming to find mineral-rich asteroids and bring back new riches to Earth. Solar power satellites in the next few years will start to beam clean energy back to Earth, to meet the growing demands of a still-developing world. Innovative space industries are vital to the survival of modern human life, and the authors demonstrate what can be done to encourage the growing of the "New Space" frontier. From lassoing and then mining asteroids to developing new methods of defending the planet from space hazards and setting up new hotels and adventures for tourists in space, this new industry will have profound effects on Earth, especially on its economy. This book is based on a study of international experts commissioned ahead of the UNISPACE+50 meeting, having distilled the results of this comprehensive fact-finding process into a compact and very readable form. It can serve as an excellent starting point for understanding all the activities underway or planned to make space truly our next frontier.

Book Synopsis Rush - Updated Edition by : Martin Popoff
Download or read book Rush - Updated Edition written by Martin Popoff and published by Voyageur Press. This book was released on 2016-03-20 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fully revised and updated, Rush is a richly illustrated history of one of the world's greatest rock bands. In 1974, a Canadian rock band called Rush took the music scene by storm. Throughout the 1970s and raging into the 1980s, the band grew a tidal wave of followers and produced such hit songs as "Limelight," "Subdivisions," and "Tom Sawyer." Inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013, this progressive rock, hard rock, and heavy metal band is destined to go down in history as legendary. The band continues to make history today. Rush: The Illustrated History is a fully updated, richly illustrated history from prolific rock journalist and noted Rush authority Martin Popoff. The book follows the world-conquering exploits of Rush band members Geddy Lee, Neil Peart, and Alex Lifeson from the band's formation in Toronto to their fortieth anniversary celebration and tour. Popoff's stellar history is complemented by LP reviews from a slate of highly regarded music writers, a thorough discography compiled by the author himself, and more than 400 photographs and articles of memorabilia, from candid backstage images and live performance photography to picture sleeves, gig posters, period print ads, ticket stubs, backstage passes, and more. The result is a visually stunning and authoritative review befitting the rock band with one of the most devoted fan bases ever.
Book Synopsis Orbiting Ray Bradbury's Mars by : Gloria McMillan
Download or read book Orbiting Ray Bradbury's Mars written by Gloria McMillan and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-09-27 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay collection explores the life and work of science fiction doyen Ray Bradbury from a variety of perspectives. Noting the impact of the Southwest on Bradbury, some of the essays analyze Bradbury's southwest metaphors: colonial pollution of a pristine ecology, the impacts of a colonial invasion upon an indigenous population, the meeting of cultures with different values and physical aspects. Other essays view Bradbury via the lens of post-colonialism, drawing parallels between such works as The Martian Chronicles and real-life colonialism and its effects. Another essay views Bradbury sociologically, analyzing border issues in his 1947 New Yorker story "I See You Never," written long before the issue of Mexican deportees appeared on the American literary horizon. From the scientific side, four essays by astronomers document how Bradbury formed the minds of many budding scientists with his vision. On August 22, 2012, the Martian landing site of the Curiosity rover in the Gale Crater was named "Bradbury." This honor shows that Bradbury forms a significant link between the worlds of fiction and planetary science.

Download or read book Mortals written by Norman Rush and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-03-23 with total page 738 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatly anticipated new novel by Norman Rush—whose first novel, Mating, won the National Book Award and was everywhere acclaimed—is his richest work yet. It is at once a political adventure, a social comedy, and a passionate triangle. It is set in the 1990s in Botswana—the African country Rush has indelibly made his own fictional territory. Mortals chronicles the misadventures of three ex-pat Americans: Ray Finch, a contract CIA agent, operating undercover as an English instructor in a private school, who is setting out on perhaps his most difficult assignment; his beautiful but slightly foolish and disaffected wife, Iris, with whom he is obsessively in love; and Davis Morel, an iconoclastic black holistic physician, who is on a personal mission to “lift the yoke of Christian belief from Africa.” The passions of these three entangle them with a local populist leader, Samuel Kerekang, whose purposes are grotesquely misconstrued by the CIA, fixated as the agency is on the astonishing collapse of world socialism and the simultaneous, paradoxical triumph of radical black nationalism in South Africa, Botswana’s neighbor. And when a small but violent insurrection erupts in the wild northern part of the country, inspired by Kerekang but stoked by the erotic and political intrigues of the American trio—the outcome is explosive and often explosively funny. Along the way, there are many pleasures. Letters from Ray’s brilliantly hostile brother and Iris’s woebegone sister provide a running commentary on contemporary life in America. Africa and Africans are powerfully evoked, and the expatriate scene is cheerfully skewered. Through lives lived ardently in an unforgiving land, Mortals examines with wit and insight the dilemmas of power, religion, rebellion, and contending versions of liberation and love. It is a study of a marriage over time, and a man’s struggle to find his way when his private and public worlds are shifting. It is Norman Rush’s most commanding work.

Book Synopsis Absent Fathers, Lost Sons by : Guy Corneau
Download or read book Absent Fathers, Lost Sons written by Guy Corneau and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2018-03-27 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experience of the fragility of conventional images of masculinity is something many modern men share. Psychoanalyst Guy Corneau traces this experience to an even deeper feeling men have of their fathers' silence or absence—sometimes literal, but especially emotional and spiritual. Why is this feeling so profound in the lives of the postwar "baby boom" generation—men who are now approaching middle age? Because, he says, this generation marks a critical phase in the loss of the masculine initiation rituals that in the past ensured a boy's passage into manhood. In his engaging examination of the many different ways this missing link manifests in men's lives, Corneau shows that, for men today, regaining the essential "second birth" into manhood lies in gaining the ability to be a father to themselves—not only as a means of healing psychological pain, but as a necessary step in the process of becoming whole.

His overwhelming yearning for erotic release and desire for more wealth drive him over the edge. It gets to him, leading him down a dark path into the unknown. He directs his henchmen to genetically alter Coronavirus to increase it’s lethality to 98% which may very well end humanities reign on Earth. This story has well over 173,000 words.

Book Synopsis Balancing Your Orbit by : Kathy Kerston
Download or read book Balancing Your Orbit written by Kathy Kerston and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-09 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Astrologer Kathy Kerston presents two profound principles in Balancing Your Orbit: the planets beam energies to Earth, and we can respond positively or negatively to these energies. Starting with the belief that your birth chart is a script you wrote, Kerston believes your chart's scenarios describe what you can choose to experience. By exercising free will, you can direct your life-but only when you choose to take on that responsibility. Planetary energy has a profound affect on our lives and is often based on our programmed belief systems. By starting with your charts and entering the realm of imagination, you can choose to draw to yourself into the positive energy of any planet. In a playful but powerful way, Kerston describes each known planets' personality using Greek mythological profiles. These profiles explain how to take control of your life by changing your belief systems. "The universe is holding all that you have wished for in escrow for you," said Abraham through Ester Hicks (Law of Attraction). It's yours to claim. You will come to view the planets as your personal assistants, sending you positive things and circumstances. You'll refer to this practical, enjoyable book time and again to supplement your astrological studies.
