Download or read book Time Travel written by Nick Redfern and published by Visible Ink Press. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fact or fiction? Real or impossible? Movement through time explored, examined and explained! Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity postulates, and scientists have proven, that the faster you travel, the slower time moves. Clocks on airplanes, satellites and rockets are slower than clocks on Earth, and time travel is indeed real. Can time machines, time-tunnel wormholes or tales of fictional time-traveling heroes be so far-fetched? Covering the history of time travel in both reality and fiction, Time Travel: The Science and Science Fiction investigates the long history, myths, science and stories of movement from the present to the past and into the future. Timely in its telling, Time Travel chronicles more than 30 instances, accounts, stories and famous examples of time slips, such as ... The theory of relativity showing the link between time and space H.G. Wells’ epic novel of 1895: The Time Machine British physicist Stephen Hawking’s famous paradoxes surrounding time travel Charlton Heston’s character Taylor in the Planet of the Apes discovering that he is home, 2,000 years in the future Wormholes, the shortcuts through both space and time And many more! The idea of time travel fascinates because it offers the possibility, however remote, of revisiting and recapturing moments from our youth. And if travelers of the future have secretly visited us—well, that proves that our future is secure. Stories of time travel abound in books and film, and it’s been a source of endless fascination—and speculation—surrounding UFO sightings and conspiracy theories. This richly researched reference ripples with fascinating information. With more than 120 photos and graphics, this tome is nicely illustrated. Time Travel also includes a helpful bibliography and an extensive index, adding to its usefulness. Time will fly by as you ponder the possibilities. Don’t hesitate. There’s no time like the present. Get your copy today. The future is waiting!

This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This critical edition is at once a memorial to Bapak I Wayan Loceng following his passing in October, 2006, and a tribute to his great musical genius. This edition documents nine compositions from the esteemed Balinese gender wayang or shadow play repertoire. The music documented derives from the musical mastery of Bapak I Wayan Loceng (1926–2006), arguably the most renowned gender wayang expert in Bali, who lived in the village of Sukawati. This edition places the music within a historical, cultural, and biographical context and introduces a broad theoretical framework that contains a new definition for the discipline of ethnomusicology, and substantial discussion of the genres of musical biography, musical ethnography, and ethnomusicology of the individual. This edition will introduce the reader to pertinent scholarly perspectives, offer biographical information pertaining to Bapak I Wayan Loceng, delineate the cultural concepts and contexts for performance and background of the shadow play tradition in Bali, and clarify key aspects of the music itself.

Book excerpt: "Searing . . . An inspiring story."--Publishers Weekly "This is the . . . powerfully told story of an exceptionally determined human being.--Booklist On September 21, 1962, U.S. Marine Staff Sergeant Donald N. Hamblen's life changed forever . . . During a routine parachute jump, strong winds drove Hamblen into high tension wires at the outskirts of Camp Pendleton, California. Doctors were astounded that he had survived, but five days later his leg had to be amputated five inches below the knee. For most people, this would be the end of the story. Hamblen could have retired on medical pension, but for him, leaving the Marines was not an option. He fought to remain in the Marines, passed all of the arduous physical tests, and within eleven months was going to the field, parachuting, and scuba diving with First Force Recon Company. With more than two years in the super-secret Studies and Observation Group (SOG), he is one of the few Americans who can document having fought repeatedly in North Vietnam, and by his extraordinary example, he served as an inspiration to other badly wounded soldiers. This is his incredible story of courage, spirit, and self determination. "I have been associated with countless service personnel during my lifetime and Sergeant Hamblen tops the list of selfless, dedicated, all-AmeriCan'tough Marines. Words are inadequate to portray his life as fully as he has lived it, but his biography will serve as an inspiration and be a worthy model to be emulated by all who would aspire to be among the few good men--the Marines. As one of the 'Godfathers' of the Marine Corps deep reconnaissance, it has been a privilege to have known and served with Woody Hamblen. Semper Fidelis.--Herman Nickerson, Jr. Lt. Gen. USMC (Ret.)

Download or read book Myths and Legends of the Eastern Front written by Boris Sokolov and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2020-01-19 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This English translation of the original Russian work is thought provoking, challenging the ‘official’ version of what happened” during World War II (Firetrench). The memory of the Second World War on the Eastern Front—still referred to in modern Russia as the Great Patriotic War—is an essential element of Russian identity and history, as alive today as it was in Stalin’s time. It is represented as a defining episode, a positive historical myth that sustains the Russian national idea and unites the majority of Russian citizens. As a result, as Boris Sokolov shows in this powerful and thought-provoking study, the heroic and tragic side of the war is highlighted while the dark side—the incompetent, negligent and even criminal way the war was run—is overlooked. Although almost eighty years have passed since the defeat of Nazi Germany, he demonstrates that many of the fabrications put forward during the war and immediately afterwards persist into the present day. In a sequence of incisive chapters he uncovers the truth about famous wartime episodes that have been consistently misrepresented. His bold reinterpretation should go some way towards dispelling the enduring myths about the Great Patriotic War. It is necessary reading for anyone who is keen to understand how it continues to be distorted in Russia today.

Download or read book Their Stars Shone Brightly written by Larry O. Goldbeck, MD and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-08-27 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The passage of time inevitably causes outstanding achievements and important names to be obscured or lost. However, this does not reduce their inherent value. Over the course of many decades, the author has derived countless hours of entertainment and education through the four major American entertainment media: radio, theater, movies, and television. He feels indebted to the exceptionally talented performers of the twentieth century who have now passed into history. Recently, the author has attempted to locate a book describing all four of the entertainment media and its great performers, but none is to be found. Many books are available about only one or two media. The author hopes that this book will spark the readers interest in the great stars of the past and propagate this forward, particularly to the younger generation. All the data in this book is publicly available piecemeal, but this book consolidates and makes it more pleasurable and easier for the reader to acquire the fun and sometimes trivial information.
