Book excerpt: The immortal space saga of the STAR COMMANDOS continues. In the fourth volume of this compelling and endearing adventure series, the STAR COMMANDOS journey to Mirelle of Eri, the dreaded Death Planet, to foil the conspiracy of a rogue pirate fleet. Yet the greatest danger isn't the pirates and their weaponry, but rather the plague of deadly fungus lying dormant in the caves of the watery planet, waiting for prey to consume with its flesh-eating spores. "The most suspenseful and nail-biting episode of the STAR COMMANDOS to date. Once you start it, you can't put it down! Absolutely electrifying!"—Robert E. Gelinas Author, The Mustard Seed For the War Prince Varn Tarl Sogan, the Death Planet is his greatest test-to return to the place where he witnessed first-hand the savage carnage of the fungus, and where many of the ships he formerly commanded still lie, only to be cannibalized and appropriated by space pirates, who themselves are unaware of the spores of death with which they might infect the ultrasystem if any are allowed to leave Mirelle of Eri alive.

Download or read book The Life and Death of Planet Earth written by Peter D. Ward and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2003 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planet Earth is middle-aged. Science has worked hard to piece together the story of the evolution of our world up to this point, but only recently have we developed the understanding and the tools to describe the entire life cycle of a planet. Ward and Brownlee, a geologist and an astronomer respectively, combine their knowledge of how the critical sustaining systems of our planet evolve through time with their understanding of the life cycles of stars and solar systems, to tell the story of the second half of Earth's life. The process of evolution will essentially reverse itself: life as we know it will subside until only the simplest forms remain. Eventually, they too will disappear. The oceans will evaporate, the atmosphere will degrade, and, as the sun slowly expands, Earth itself will eventually meet a fiery end. --From publisher description.

Book excerpt: Our culture is rife with the inference of the existence of life on other planets. Indeed, life technologically capable of visiting our planet on a regular basis. Such visitation forms the core for a sizable group of individuals who profoundly believe that they have seen, been visited by or even abducted by Aliens. So the fabric is woven into a tale of a common man whose destiny sends him out of this world. Jack Sharpes a regular guy, jilted by his fianc hes drowning his sorrows at the local pub, when his world is transformed by a gentleman offering him passage on a space ship! The man is Isiah Walker and hes a recruiter. Isiah isnt recruiting just any down on his luck drunk. Nope hes looking for a special type. He seeks people without attachments. Those who disappear and all thats said is: Whatever happened to whats his name? Nobody with close family or close friends which narrows the field down to what, maybe a couple of hundred million people? Jack fits and Isiah offers him a job working out in the suburbs of space, the hinterlands of the galaxy. Jack considers the proposal even as events close in around him and send him where our sun dont shine. Mankind joins a race of galactic observers; beings that have watched us develop for hundreds of years. Theyve discovered alien intruders so powerful and frightening they are forced into action. They must use Humanity to help destroy this potential threat to the Universe. The race is devouring planets and taking the spoils to an unknown destination. So the journey begins and takes us into the everyday lives of the space borne humans inhabiting an enormous craft designed and built by humans with Alien technology. Jack learns about himself and his capabilities, hes mentally connected with a one hundred ninety pound puppy of questionable breeding. He gains true friends and meets a very special woman. As Jack and his group train hard for an unknown mission their reward comes in the form of a one-way ticket to a planet that is systematically being destroyed by the mysterious and hideous aliens. There they witness the Death of a Planet a planet they will try desperately to save.

Download or read book The Death of Our Planet s Species written by Martin Gorke and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2013-02-22 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present rate and extent of species extinction -- estimated by some scientists as one species every 20 minutes -- are unprecedented in the history of mankind. Human activities are responsible for nearly all species loss, yet ethical aspects of this crisis are rarely mentioned. Any concern expressed tends to be over potentially valuable resources -- information for scientists, or compounds that could be used in new medicines -- that are lost when a species disappears. In The Death of Our Planet's Species, Martin Gorke argues that such a utilitarian perspective is not only shortsighted but morally bankrupt. Holding doctoral degrees in both ecology and philosophy, Gorke is uniquely qualified to examine the extinction crisis from both scientific and philosophical perspectives. He offers a wide-ranging review of the literature on the subject, drawing together those two lines of reasoning that are almost always pursued separately. After critical examination of the current state of relevant ecological knowledge, Gorke presents a carefully considered case for attributing intrinsic value to all of nature, including all species. At the heart of his argument is an analysis of the concept of morality. According to this analysis, the universal character of morality does not permit us to establish limits of moral considerability. More precisely, every act of exclusion from the moral community is an arbitrary act and is not compatible with a moral point of view. The Death of Our Planet's Species sets forth a sound and original argument about the philosophical and ethical dimensions of species conservation. Throughout, the author combines a high level of theoretical sophistication with clear and straightforward writing. Orignially published in German, this Island Press edition makes The Death of Our Planet's Species available for the first time to English-speaking experts and lay readers.

Download or read book The Life and Death of Planet Earth written by Peter Douglas Ward and published by Piatkus Books. This book was released on 2007-08-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the first real biography of the Earth - not only a brilliant portrait of the emergence and evolution of life on this planet, but a vivid and frightening look at Earth's remote future. Peter Ward and Donald Brownlee combine storytelling power with extreme scientific care, and their narrative is as transfixing as any of H.G. Wells's fantasies, but more enthralling, for Ward and Brownlee have real power to prognosticate. This is a book that makes one shiver, but also inspires one to wonder how humanity (if we survive in the short term) will fare in the distant future." Oliver Sachs Peter Ward and Don Brownlee, a geologist and an astronomer respectively, are in the vanguard of the new field of astrobiology. Combining their knowledge of the evolution of life on our planet with their understanding of the life cycles of stars and solar systems, the authors tell the awe-inspiring story of the second half of Earth's life. The process of planetary evolution will essentially reverse itself; life as we know it will subside until only the simplest forms remain. The oceans will evaporate, and as the sun slowly expands, Earth itself will eventually meet a fiery end.
