Book excerpt: A stunning sunset begins in the northeastern sky. It sunk beautifully, like a time-lapse movie of eerie summer sunsets. But it was no ordinary event. Wholly orange, it reached up and up until it loomed over town, blocking out the sun. Somehow, she knew, life was going to change soon. Police Officer Fynn is on duty in Missouri when something terrible happens. The sunset is followed by a record number of calls about lights and ships in the sky and a power outage that lasts for months. She survives the visits by the watchers but realizes months later to find life transformed, with controlled weather, a ship-filled sky, citizens missing and the desperate need for an emergency plan for them all. So begins her journey to find shelter, food and the missing, along with the answer to the mystery of what has arrived. Others slowly discover an alien threat, unlike anything they've ever seen. And suddenly, their world is ripped apart. On the run from the watchers, Fynn's determination to protect her town is her only weapon as citizens begin moving to one area together and into chaos.

Stratton Deb Stratton Books to get your reading again!Reviews: Beth Ryder "I had not read a book in twenty years and was never really interested in reading or committing to books that took weeks to read. I love Deb's style. I can easily feel accomplished by actually finishing a book that I start reading. 5 Stars! David Parker "I've been binge-listening to Post Apocalyptic books, and this book is right up there with the best of them. For me, plausibility is a big deal - I like real people solving real problems. I think the author did a great job creating believable situations that held my interest. This is also the first Post Apocalyptic book I've read that was written from the perspective of a woman. Many of the scenes involve her struggling with self-doubts, but always becoming the strong woman at the right time. This may sound tedious, but I felt the way it was written helped embellish the storyline. Some may also feel that the main characters were a bit too lucky, but in this new World you make your own luck, and that's what they did. Overcoming one obstacle after another as the World grew ever bleaker truly holds your interest."Kristen Lewis "I regret nothing. It DOES beg the questions, though: In such a situation, where there are no answers as to what can cause the world to physically flip flop to the extreme unknown, who can you trust? How does one survive when they are ill-prepared for such an extended and volatile event? Where do you draw the line of humanity when very decision means life or death? I purchased this book outright. I was not disappointed."Visit Alien Zoo on FB! Mandy M. "I found myself in tears reading the last pages of this book. It was not just a story about Aliens, it was more than that. It restored my faith in life and humanity. It gave meaning to all of our journey's. Well done."

Download or read book The Cosmic Zoo written by Dirk Schulze-Makuch and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are humans a galactic oddity, or will complex life with human abilities develop on planets with environments that remain habitable for long enough? In a clear, jargon-free style, two leading researchers in the burgeoning field of astrobiology critically examine the major evolutionary steps that led us from the distant origins of life to the technologically advanced species we are today. Are the key events that took life from simple cells to astronauts unique occurrences that would be unlikely to occur on other planets? By focusing on what life does - it's functional abilities - rather than specific biochemistry or anatomy, the authors provide plausible answers to this question. Systematically exploring the various pathways that led to the complex biosphere we experience on planet Earth, they show that most of the steps along that path are likely to occur on any world hosting life, with only two exceptions: One is the origin of life itself – if this is a highly improbable event, then we live in a rather “empty universe”. However, if this isn’t the case, we inevitably live in a universe containing a myriad of planets hosting complex as well as microbial life - a “cosmic zoo”. The other unknown is the rise of technologically advanced beings, as exemplified on Earth by humans. Only one technological species has emerged in the roughly 4 billion years life has existed on Earth, and we don’t know of any other technological species elsewhere. If technological intelligence is a rare, almost unique feature of Earth's history, then there can be no visitors to the cosmic zoo other than ourselves. Schulze-Makuch and Bains take the reader through the history of life on Earth, laying out a consistent and straightforward framework for understanding why we should think that advanced, complex life exists on planets other than Earth. They provide a unique perspective on the question that puzzled the human species for centuries: are we alone?

Download or read book Babylon s Ark written by Lawrence Anthony and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2007-03-06 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The astonishing story of the soldiers, conservationists, and ordinary Iraqis who united to save the animals of the Baghdad Zoo When the Iraq war began, conservationist Lawrence Anthony could think of only one thing: the fate of the Baghdad Zoo, caught in the crossfire at the heart of the city. Once Anthony entered Iraq he discovered that hostilities and uncontrolled looting had devastated the zoo and its animals. Working with members of the zoo staff and a few compassionate U.S. soldiers, he defended the zoo, bartered for food on war-torn streets, and scoured bombed palaces for desperately needed supplies. Babylon's Ark chronicles Anthony's hair-raising efforts to save a pride of Saddam's lions, close a deplorable black-market zoo, run ostriches through shoot-to-kill checkpoints, and rescue the dictator's personal herd of Thoroughbred Arabian horses. A tale of the selfless courage and humanity of a few men and women living dangerously for all the right reasons, Babylon's Ark is an inspiring and uplifting true-life adventure of individuals on both sides working together for the sake of magnificent wildlife caught in a war zone.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Cryptozoology written by Michael Newton and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On every continent and in every nation, animals unrecognized by modern science are reported on a daily basis. People passionately pursue these creatures--the name given to their field of study is cryptozoology. Coined in the 1950s, the term literally means the science of hidden animals. When the International Society of Cryptozoology (ISC) was formed in 1982, the founders declared that the branch of science is also concerned with "the possible existence of known animals in areas where they are not supposed to occur (either now or in the past) as well as the unknown persistence of presumed extinct animals to the present time or to the recent past...what makes an animal of interest to cryptology is that it is unexpected." This reference work presents a "flesh and blood" view of cryptozoology. Here, 2,744 entries are listed, the majority of which each describe one specific creature or type of creature. Other entries cover 742 places where unnamed cryptids are said to appear; profiles of 77 groups and 112 individuals who have contributed to the field; descriptions of objects and events important to the subject; and essays on cryptotourism and hoaxes, for example. Appendices offer a timeline of zoological discoveries, annotated lists of movies and television series with cryptozoological themes, a list of crypto-fiction titles and a list of Internet websites devoted to cryptozoology.

Download or read book Alien Contact and Diplomacy Get it Right or We Suffer written by Simon Drake and published by Simon Drake. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Would aliens use Facebook to communicate with us rather than trust our politicians? Earth may be regarded as having an oddity, a zoo, or something of an amusement. The universe is a wild place, we're part of it, but what is it? To understand how Aliens sees us, we first have to understand our own history of exploration, contact and diplomacy, like when the Old World powers with the New World tribes. Earth history is littered with cruel jokes on unwitting peoples, where the collision of East Meets West ends with a party screwed over, or just wiped out of existence. Why should Earth's destiny among other races of the universe be any different? Fortunately, we can all agree on the implications of mixing with advanced alien cultures, yet technology shifts the means by which alien contact and diplomacy wants to integrate with our digital world. The responsibility for contact has moved from military elites and those in the know to the contrary, connected public. Soon, now, or a day in the future, we want to make real alien contact and our diplomacy either wants to have it subjugated and naively enslaved, or equipped with knowledge and technology that enables us to explore the stars.

Download or read book Sensing Machines written by Chris Salter and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we are tracked, surveilled, tantalized, and seduced by machines ranging from smart watches and Roombas to immersive art installations. Sensing machines are everywhere in our world. As we move through the day, electronic sensors and computers adjust our thermostats, guide our Roombas, count our steps, change the orientation of an image when we rotate our phones. There are more of these electronic devices in the world than there are people—in 2020, thirty to fifty billion of them (versus 7.8 billion people), with more than a trillion expected in the next decade. In Sensing Machines, Chris Salter examines how we are tracked, surveilled, tantalized, and seduced by machines ranging from smart watches and mood trackers to massive immersive art installations. Salter, an artist/scholar who has worked with sensors and computers for more than twenty years, explains that the quantification of bodies, senses, and experience did not begin with the surveillance capitalism practiced by Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, and Google but can be traced back to mathematical and statistical techniques of the nineteenth century. He describes the emergence of the “sensed self,” investigating how sensor technology has been deployed in music and gaming, programmable and immersive art environments, driving, and even eating, with e-tongues and e-noses that can taste and smell for us. Sensing technology turns our experience into data; but Salter’s story isn’t just about what these machines want from us, but what we want from them—new sensations, the thrill of the uncanny, and magic that will transport us from our daily grind.
