Book Synopsis Human Missions to Mars by : Donald Rapp
Download or read book Human Missions to Mars written by Donald Rapp and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Donald Rapp looks at human missions to Mars from a technological perspective. He divides the mission into a number of stages: Earth’s surface to low-Earth orbit (LEO); departing from LEO toward Mars; Mars orbit insertion and entry, descent and landing; ascent from Mars; trans-Earth injection from Mars orbit and Earth return. A mission to send humans to explore the surface of Mars has been the ultimate goal of planetary exploration since the 1950s, when von Braun conjectured a flotilla of 10 interplanetary vessels carrying a crew of at least 70 humans. Since then, more than 1,000 studies were carried out. This third edition provides extensive updating and additions to the last edition, including new sections, and many new figures and tables, and references.

New spiritual energy circuits are active and available. Waves of Celestial Teachers are re-connecting ascending mortals to the Divine Plan of Universe Education. Events are aligning themselves now that will change your world. Its destiny is unfolding in perfect order. Evolutions in concept and spirit unfoldment are taking place at unheard-of rates and we are here to steady you in this time of emergence, to prepare you, to protect you, to urge you onward. We are not interested in your mental constructs; we are interested in opening your hearts to love, in quickening your desire to serve. Truth is living, and altogether too fluid and immediate to be captured and contained in your word forms. Therefore, we ask you to judge not with your intellect but with your heart, for there is the dwelling of the Spirit of Truth. — Emmanuel, a personal guide, Pittsburgh, PA The entire ascendant plan of mortal progression is characterized by the practice of giving out to other beings new truth and experience just as soon as acquired. You work your way through the long school of Paradise attainment by serving as teachers to those pupils just behind you in the scale of progression." — The Urantia Book, page 339 A THRESHOLD TO ENLIGHTENMENT The first step for each of you is to calm your mind. The next step is to allow that calmness to be a part of your life ... This is an important part of the mission: to teach of achieving greatness through quiet communion with the Indwelling Spirit ... Come to the garden and greet the stillness. The mind longs for quiet conversation with spirit. Here you can drink the quiet and fill your heart with the beauty of the moment. — Jared, Santa Rosa, CA You must understand that great and profound changes take place not on grand scales, but in subtle and small moments in individual lives of people. — JarEl, Arcadia, CA
Book Synopsis The Gift-Knight's Quest by : Dylan Madeley
Download or read book The Gift-Knight's Quest written by Dylan Madeley and published by Dylan Madeley. This book was released on 2017-08-30 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Chandra had yet to fathom why Jonnecht could not have lived and ruled for many long years, or why it was so urgent that she ascend immediately." Chandra never asked to rule Kensrik, but fate took a strange course. Known as a usurper and sorceress by most and traumatised by all that has transpired, she is forced to make use of the few loyal allies she has in order to hold together her restless empire. In an attempt to identify and defeat the conspirators who inadvertently landed her in power, Chandra risks putting the lives of many in mortal danger, as well as her own. Derek is an aimless wanderer - the youngest in a lineage that has long fallen from nobility. He finds himself summoned by tradition to serve a family historically considered his bitter enemy. As he journeys down the same path a fateful ancestor once travelled, he struggles with personal demons and begins to reconsider his loyalty to the mission. Duke Lenn found one true cause in love and it cost him everything. His legacy shaped the present in which Chandra and Derek find themselves. Now their choice will shape the future of Kensrik... The Gift-Knight's Quest is set in a new and vividly imagined world, written with delicate prose that will allow the reader to explore with their imagination. The author was inspired during the composition of this novel by the likes of Michael Moorcock, J. G. Ballard and Roger Zelazny, but doesn't claim to be any of them; he hoped to imagine something different. This book may appeal to fans of fantasy and historical fiction. This is the first book of The Gift-Knight Trilogy, and continues with The Crown Princess' Voyage.
Book Synopsis ORGANIC: A JOURNALISTS QUEST TO DISCOVER by : Peter Laufer
Download or read book ORGANIC: A JOURNALISTS QUEST TO DISCOVER written by Peter Laufer and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part food narrative, part investigation, part adventure story, Organic is an eye-opening and entertaining look into the anything goes world behind the organic label. It is also a wakeup call about the dubious origins of food labeled organic. After eating some suspect organic walnuts that supposedly were produced in Kazakhstan, veteran journalist Peter Laufer chooses a few items from his home pantry and traces their origins back to their source. Along the way he learns how easily we are tricked into taking “organic” claims at face value. With organic foods readily available at supermarket chains, confusion and outright deception about labels have become commonplace. Globalization has allowed food from highly corrupt governments and businesses overseas to pollute the organic market with food that is anything but. The organic environment is like the Wild West: oversight is virtually nonexistent, and deception runs amok. Laufer investigates so-called organic farms in Europe and South America as well as in his own backyard in the Pacific Northwest. The book examines what constitutes organic and by whom the definitions are made. The answers will stun readers, who have been sold a questionable, highly suspect, and even false bill of goods for years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For those starting out in their careers—and those who wish to advance more quickly—this is a delightfully fussy guide to the hidden rules of the road in the workplace and in life. As bestselling author and social historian Charles Murray explains, at senior levels of an organization there are curmudgeons everywhere, judging your every move. Yet it is their good opinion you need to win if you hope to get ahead. Among the curmudgeon’s day-to-day tips for the workplace: • Excise the word “like” from your spoken English • Don’t suck up • Stop “reaching out” and “sharing” • Rid yourself of piercings, tattoos, and weird hair colors • Make strong language count His larger career advice includes: • What to do if you have a bad boss • Coming to grips with the difference between being nice and being good • How to write when you don’t know what to say • Being judgmental (it’s good, and you don’t have a choice anyway) And on the great topics of life, the curmudgeon urges us to leave home no matter what, get real jobs (not internships), put ourselves in scary situations, and watch Groundhog Day repeatedly (he’ll explain). Witty, wise, and pulling no punches, The Curmudgeon’s Guide to Getting Ahead is an indispensable sourcebook for living an adult life.
Book Synopsis The Old Curmudgeon by : William B. Caudle II
Download or read book The Old Curmudgeon written by William B. Caudle II and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ". . .Miss Emma, he doesn't have to be worthy to listen and accept the gospel of Jesus Christ. All he has to do is be willing. If we could only get him to listen and let us talk to him." "There were only three noticeable and important differences he could immediately observe about north Florida. First, the lush-green countryside was filled with trees, such as would never grow in the arid climate of Colorado. The second was the lilting, often difficult-to-understand, sometimes heavily-accented, language spoken by the true native in the area. It was perceptible as English, but was laced with colloquialisms never heard before by the farm-boy-turned-missionary. The third was the impossible humidity which left a man sweating and drained of energy before 10:00 a.m. each day during the six-month-long summer. But, Elder Butters thought, he would be able to adjust, and he had begun to come out of his shell after a month or two. That is, until he was transferred as his second assignment to the newly-formed Dixie Ward and met "that old curmudgeon."

Book excerpt: The Dream Quest is set in a post-apocalyptic world that had been ravaged by weapons of mass destruction, where a new generation of humanity managed to survive and form a new civilization. Many perils existed in the aftermath of the old war. Mutant tribes of cannibals and hordes of the living dead were the most common, but there were other creatures and unknown dangers. Due to the radiation and chemical afterburn a form of fusion magic came to the land, as well as concerned and vengeful visitors from the unknown, creatures that some would call gods. Kastos puts together a rag-tag crew of anyone willing to accompany him on this fantastic voyage across unknown waters, fraught with wonders and horrors, to the icy wastelands in the far south. Where Kastos hopes to discover if the myth of immortal life was real. On board the Kella, an old battered Navy Frigate, the crew assembled and embarked upon this quest. However, fate intervenes and throws Kastos a wild card when a beautiful woman is rescued at sea after a devastating storm. She warns him about the old gods who guard the gates. Terrible, malevolent beings who will bar his way… unless he chooses her to help him. Kastos has to make a choice to either ignore or trust her, a woman he has never met, yet who seems oddly compelling, and familiar.

Book Synopsis The Quest for Shakespeare by : Jeffrey Kahan
Download or read book The Quest for Shakespeare written by Jeffrey Kahan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-11 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the formation and impact of the New Shakspere Society, created in 1873, which dedicated itself to solving the mysteries of Shakespeare’s authorship by way of science. This promise, however, was undermined not only by the antics of its director, Frederick J. Furnivall, but also by the inexactitudes of the tests. Jeffrey Kahan puzzles out how a society geared towards science quickly devolved into a series of grudge matches. Nonetheless, the New Shakspere Society set the bibliographical and biographical agenda for the next century—an unusual legacy for an organization that was rife with intrigue, enmity, and incompetence; lives were ruined, lawyers consulted, and scholarship (mostly bad) produced and published.

His own story is told in the rhythm of an age when fairies were real, and life moved deliberately. Modern thrill-seekers might be shocked to learn the truth about the origins of their favorite netherworld elf queens and evil sorcerers. Hamlet spent his childhood at a Spanish mission in St. Augustine. After a seven-year apprenticeship in the sweltering hacienda-style workshops of the Mission Nombre de Dios, he set out on a quest to find his parents. Hamlet's journey took him to the misty haunts of the North Georgia Mountains, where superstition, legend and storytelling were a part of everyday life. He made friends with a young Indian named White Panther who shared with him a legend that was to set Hamlet's path. For the measure of his life, Hamlet weaves his most important tapestry: that of a man on a genealogical voyage. sorcerers. Hamlet spent his childhood at a Spanish mission in St. Augustine.
