Book excerpt: The first book in an exciting and adventurous new series by thirteen-year-old author, Shanti Hershenson! The biomes were never meant to be tampered with, and the barbed-wire fences were never meant to be crossed. The Biome Lock was a force of nature not to be reckoned with. Thirty years after a harrowing alien invasion that left the remains of humankind living captive in separate biomes, the arrival of an atypical boy prompts an awakening of hope; a dream for a new age. As a greater mission unfolds, unrest begins to circulate in the furthest parts of the biomes, creating a threat to the once all-powerful regime of the Zorb... Meet Griffin, an antsy boy who on his thirteenth birthday, finds himself thrown into the depths of these seemingly unrestrained prisons. He only saw the biomes as a way to get past his worst memories, but the past still whispered in his ears. Tragedy and pain lurk everywhere, and Griffin can't hide. Meet Kira, a haunted teenager who lives with a terrible secret, one that might get her hunted down and murdered. While everything about her seems normal, a cloud of fury hangs over her, all for something she chooses not to understand. And when a new ally falls ill, she will have to attempt the impossible, and face the demon that is herself. Meet Colette, an upright girl who feels an otherworldly connection to a boy she's hardly ever spoken to, where only dreams can bind the two. As it all seems supernatural, he might just feel the same way, understanding all that she feels. As these seemingly different minds come together, they are forced to combat their darkest moments and worst memories as they fight for their freedom. And whether they like it or not, they must choose what they really stand for, and who they truly are... Welcome to the Biome Lock!

Following tragedy after tragedy and reeling from constant turmoil, Griffin, Colette, and Kira are rewarded several peaceful days at the Grasslands Laboratory before they are to continue their journey. Only, this solace is interrupted as the scientists find a strange piece of Zorb technology-and Griffin and his friends are assigned to inspect it. Restless and desperate to find out the purpose behind the machine, Griffin fiddles with it and, despite Kira and Colette's warnings, pushes a button. What erupts is a blinding light that renders them unconscious. When the trio wakes up, they are horrified to find that they are no longer in the Grasslands biome-or in the same era at all. Through what they now realize is a Zorb time machine, they have been brought back to a time and place before the Biome Lock: Lander, North Carolina, a suburban town of fast food restaurants, indoor play places, neighborhood parks, a strange mansion, and a terrifying urban legend that may either be their key to returning home...or their worst nightmare. While faced with a whole new world, they are haunted and stalked by an eccentric creature and his ghostly children. First, there are nightmares, then hallucinations and soon, Griffin, Colette, and Kira realize that there is something much more sinister living in the shadows of Lander. Some know him as the Lander Boogeyman, while others know his name: Silly Kingston. Set during the events of Biome Blackout, Biome Nightmare takes readers on a heart-racing, chilling journey as the worlds of Shanti Hershenson's oldest books collide. With familiar characters from The Chronicles of Ziel DeLaine as well as cameos from unlikely Biome Lock characters, fans of both series are destined to enjoy this crossover novel.

Download or read book Firearms and Violence written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-01-13 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years proposals for gun control and the ownership of firearms have been among the most contentious issues in American politics. For public authorities to make reasonable decisions on these matters, they must take into account facts about the relationship between guns and violence as well as conflicting constitutional claims and divided public opinion. In performing these tasks, legislators need adequate data and research to judge both the effects of firearms on violence and the effects of different violence control policies. Readers of the research literature on firearms may sometimes find themselves unable to distinguish scholarship from advocacy. Given the importance of this issue, there is a pressing need for a clear and unbiased assessment of the existing portfolio of data and research. Firearms and Violence uses conventional standards of science to examine three major themes - firearms and violence, the quality of research, and the quality of data available. The book assesses the strengths and limitations of current databases, examining current research studies on firearm use and the efforts to reduce unjustified firearm use and suggests ways in which they can be improved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relevant driving forces during this last hundred years include: computers, like the PC, the web, and supercomputers; genetics, cloning, stem cells, DNA insertions into food crops; energy needs; environmental concerns; gender equality, religion. Technology is rapidly reaching a crescendo. It will either utterly transform us as it has in the past, or it will be the downfall of Homo sapiens. Most religions predict an end, disastrous in size and scope, followed by a mystic spiritual alteration. Many of these same faiths believe that this event is coming very soon. History follows patterns. Just as the Americas developed, so will space. Are we going to break the loop of rise and fall now or ever? Do we resolve our worldwide political differences? Are we entering into a new Utopia or find ourselves mired in an anti-Utopia. How did it all begin? Where are we now? What do we face tomorrow? All of these concerns and more point toward a paradigm shift in mental and physical human evolution, or an end to humankind. Is it a new beginning or the complete end of man? Red and Walter are on the forefront of the battle against time and the universe. They are the final hopes of humanity.
