Book excerpt: Law & Order meets Men in Black in this graphic novel adaptation of an unproduced TV pilot script by the author of A Game of Thrones—a never-before-seen story brought to life for the first time! SECOND CITY. FIRST CONTACT. Ten years ago, representatives from an interstellar collective of 314 alien species landed on Earth, inviting us to become number 315. Now, after seemingly endless delays, the Starport in Chicago is operational, a destination for diplomats, merchants, and tourists alike. Inside, visitors are governed by intergalactic treaty. Outside, the streets belong to Chicago’s finest. Charlie Baker, newly promoted to the squad that oversees the Starport district, is eager to put to practical use his enthusiasm for all things extraterrestrial; he just never expected to arrive on his first day in the back of a police cruiser. Lieutenant Bobbi Kelleher is married to the job, which often puts her in conflict with Lyhanne Nhar-Lys, security champion of Starport and one of the galaxy’s fiercest warriors. Undercover with a gang of anti-alien extremists, Detective Aaron Stein has no problem mixing business with pleasure—until he stumbles upon evidence of a plot to assassinate a controversial trade envoy with a cache of stolen ray guns. Now the Chicago PD must stop these nutjobs before they piss off the entire universe. Based on a TV pilot script written by George R. R. Martin in 1994 and adapted and illustrated by Hugo Award–nominated artist Raya Golden, this bold and brilliant graphic novel adaptation at last brings Martin’s singular vision to rollicking life. With all the intrigue, ingenuity, and atmosphere that made A Game of Thrones a worldwide phenomenon, Starport launches a new chapter in the career of a sci-fi/fantasy superstar.

Download or read book Exploring Stars in the Milky Way written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Math textbooks routinely provide 'real world' examples for students using familiar examples drawn from every-day situations, but there are many other areas where proportional relationships and working with large numbers aid in understanding our physical world. This collection of activities is intended for students looking for additional challenges in the math and physical science curriculum in grade 6-8, but where the topics are drawn from astronomy and space science. This book 'Exploring the Stars in the Milky Way' introduces students to some of the most unusual places in our galaxy that are outside our solar system. A common question that students might ask is 'How many stars are in the sky?' Answering this question introduces students to basic counting, tallying and grouping techniques, and to work with simple proportions. For example, a student will be shown an area of the sky and asked to systematically tally the number of stars, N, in this area. The student will then be told that this area represents a specific fraction of the full sky, 1/M, and will have to estimate the total stars in the sky by performing the multiplication MxN, where M is the number of groups and N is the number of members per group.
