Download or read book Continuum 2012 Second Edition written by Peter E. Lee and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-03 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You never expect to see beings from the future, because you were taught that Time travel to the past violated the Laws of Physics. Well, it does not. When faced with the inevitable truth of the Continuum, in which you live, you see that violence, fear, and hatred are stitched right through it. Spread curves of reality can intermingle, if the time is right. This story is a glimpse into just one of those possibilities. Time and space are bent and reality twisted, easily, by these extra-terrestiral beings. We realize that we are the endangered zoological fauna of the galaxy, ranched out, on this planet, until the round-up. This tortured science fiction novelette is geared for generation X'ers, struggling to understand this galactic law. Burnouts, bums, and boozers will all find a piece of themselves in this story. You might even find yourself laughing at the incredulity of the possibilities which this book reports. It is an alien story, after all.

One afternoon she meets with him after school and fabricates a story about her dad molesting her. She pleads for Mr. Thurmond’s assistance, but is empathetically told the two of them will meet tomorrow with Estella’s school counselor. That’s not what Estella had in mind! That night she contacts Chip, telling him she’s run away and has nowhere to go. Can he please, please help her? She ends up on his apartment couch and when Chip rebuffs her advances . . . it’s game on for Estella. Early the next morning, Chip’s principal discovers on his cell phone pictures of Estella at Chip’s apartment, including one of her wrapped only in a sheet. Chip is placed on administrative leave pending his dismissal and thinking it best, Estella decides to disappear. Assuming his arrest imminent, Chip buys a trailer and heads east eventually landing in the little town of Jones Lake, KS where he hopes to enjoy anonymity while finding employment at the town’s small, rural K-12 school.

Book excerpt: THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Sparkling with mystery, humor and the uncanny, this is a fun read. But beneath its effervescent tone, more complex themes are at play.” —San Francisco Chronicle In his wildly entertaining debut novel, Hank Green—cocreator of Crash Course, Vlogbrothers, and SciShow—spins a sweeping, cinematic tale about a young woman who becomes an overnight celebrity before realizing she's part of something bigger, and stranger, than anyone could have possibly imagined. The Carls just appeared. Roaming through New York City at three a.m., twenty-three-year-old April May stumbles across a giant sculpture. Delighted by its appearance and craftsmanship—like a ten-foot-tall Transformer wearing a suit of samurai armor—April and her best friend, Andy, make a video with it, which Andy uploads to YouTube. The next day, April wakes up to a viral video and a new life. News quickly spreads that there are Carls in dozens of cities around the world—from Beijing to Buenos Aires—and April, as their first documentarian, finds herself at the center of an intense international media spotlight. Seizing the opportunity to make her mark on the world, April now has to deal with the consequences her new particular brand of fame has on her relationships, her safety, and her own identity. And all eyes are on April to figure out not just what the Carls are, but what they want from us. Compulsively entertaining and powerfully relevant, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing grapples with big themes, including how the social internet is changing fame, rhetoric, and radicalization; how our culture deals with fear and uncertainty; and how vilification and adoration spring for the same dehumanization that follows a life in the public eye. The beginning of an exciting fiction career, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing is a bold and insightful novel of now.

Download or read book We Called it MAG nificent written by E. N. Brandt and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War I, in 1916, Herbert Dow, founder of The Dow Chemical Company, received news of “star shells,” weapons that glowed eerily as they descended over the trenches of the enemy, making them easier to attack. The critical component in these flares was magnesium, a metal that was suddenly in great demand. Dow, along with a half-dozen other U.S. firms, swiftly began manufacturing magnesium, but by 1927 Dow was the only U.S. company still in the business. Dow’s key innovation was a method of extracting the metal from seawater, an engineering accomplishment finally achieved at Freeport, Texas, only eleven months prior to the Pearl Harbor attack. Dow was the principal supplier of magnesium for U.S. and British planes during World War II, a distinction that ironically yielded an indictment from the U.S. government on monopoly charges. The company eventually became the world’s largest manufacturer of magnesium until 1990, when the Chinese entered the market and offered the metal at rock-bottom prices. Dow quietly ended its production of magnesium in 1998. Brandt’s history is an engaging look at Dow’s eighty-three-year romance with this remarkable metal.

For these men—and for their women—the safe eight-hour day does not exist. It never will. Some fishermen get rich, many die broke.

He learns the brutal business from hard-fisted skippers, penny-pinching cannery managers, and the pirates of the fishing world. Hank also meets the tough women who endure the hardships of Alaska alongside their men. Journey with him as he learns to survive the elements (100-mile-an-hour winds, ice storms, tidal waves, and fire at sea) and attempts to become a highliner.
