Download or read book An Outback Life written by Mary Groves and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Outback Life is a story of a woman who spent the prime of her life in the wilds of Australia's Northern Territory, when it really was an untamed frontier. In this earthy tale of love, hope, loss, and survival, Mary Groves describes the sometimes heart-breaking loneliness, the hard work and the rises and falls in her family's fortunes as they battle to survive in Australia's Top End. Mary was the key, hands-on person in the business's she shared with her husband, Joe, learning mostly out of necessity to operate helicopters, cattle trucks and anything else it took to grow their very successful family business. During the process of surviving the many, almost insurmountable, obstacles presented along the way, she has collected an abundance of interesting stories involving, Australian and NT Pastoral history, Racing, Rodeo, Droving, Aviation, Spirituality and Aboriginal history.By this first time author, Mary's promise to her mother originally instigated this book as a historical record, but Mary is also keen to have it used as a survival handbook for future generations.In the tradition of 'From Strength to Strength' by Sara Henderson and 'We of the Never-Never' by Mrs Aeneas Gunn, this lively historical/ autobiography tells an earthy tale of love, hope, loss and dogged determination to survive in the outback in simple, straightforward language – and often the vernacular- of the people it is set among. Set in Australia's last frontier, this Memoir would probably be best described, as a real Australian historical adventure of survival at all costs. The narrative zips along at a lively pace, and features one cracking yarn after another. In addition to telling her own and her family's story across the decades, Mary includes descriptions of many long-lost bush skills and natural phenomena in the hope that the book may serve as a kind of 'survival handbook'.Due to its exotic appeal, along with its parallels to America's Wild West, An Outback Life will appeal to male and female readers - males, because of its adventure subject matter, and females, because the story is told by a woman and unfolds in a time and place where your gender usually dictated the course of one's life. An Outback Life will appeal to readers of the following titles:•The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough•From Strength to Strength by Sara Henderson•No Place for a Woman by Maise Young•We of the Never-Never by Mrs Aeneas Gunn•Kings in Grass Castles by Mary Durack.An Outback Life was first published in Australia in May 2011 and 2012 by Allen & Unwin- The author is now keen to accommodate the overseas interest shown.

Download or read book Our Undiscovered Universe written by Terence Witt and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For quite some time now, anyone who wanted to understand the universe's inner workings had only two places in which to turn. The first is an eclectic cast of "scientific" paradigms, which includes, but is not limited to, string theory, the Big Bang, and quantum reality. While these make valiant attempts to describe the universe and come to grips with their own glaring incompleteness, in the final analysis they can't even begin to answer questions that any child might pose. Regardless of how many popularized versions of these theories find their way into bookstores, the important questions remain unsolved because the current scientific approach lacks any trace of an underlying natural philosophy. The other option available to the inquiring mind is a disorganized quagmire of "alternative" theories. These decry the reigning scientific models but provide absolutely nothing of substance in their stead. Alternative theories seldom identify their own premises unambiguously, let alone provide quantitative tests for them.At long last, a theory has emerged that addresses the foundation of reality logically, rationally, empirically, and completely - Null Physics. The universe it reveals doesn't rely on unknowable precursors in the ancient, untestable past. The universe it revels won't collapse or grow old and die. Null Physics tells us why the universe exists, how the universe exists, and why it is the way it is. The mystery of our existence has beaten scientists and philosophers for so long that they are utterly convinced that reality's underpinnings are beyond human comprehension. They are wrong. Anyone with a familiarity with high-school physics can, by reading this volume, understand the universe with greater depth and clarity than is currently believed possible.

Download or read book Old Mars written by George R. R. Martin and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifteen all-new stories by science fiction’s top talents, collected by bestselling author George R. R. Martin and multiple-award winning editor Gardner Dozois Burroughs’s A Princess of Mars. Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles. Heinlein’s Red Planet. These and so many more inspired generations of readers with a sense that science fiction’s greatest wonders did not necessarily lie far in the future or light-years across the galaxy but were to be found right now on a nearby world tantalizingly similar to our own—a red planet that burned like an ember in our night sky . . . and in our imaginations. This new anthology of fifteen all-original science fiction stories, edited by George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois, celebrates the Golden Age of Science Fiction, an era filled with tales of interplanetary colonization and derring-do. Before the advent of powerful telescopes and space probes, our solar system could be imagined as teeming with strange life-forms and ancient civilizations—by no means always friendly to the dominant species of Earth. And of all the planets orbiting that G-class star we call the Sun, none was so steeped in an aura of romantic decadence, thrilling mystery, and gung-ho adventure as Mars. Join such seminal contributors as Michael Moorcock, Mike Resnick, Joe R. Lansdale, S. M. Stirling, Mary Rosenblum, Ian McDonald, Liz Williams, James S. A. Corey, and others in this brilliant retro anthology that turns its back on the cold, all-but-airless Mars of the Mariner probes and instead embraces an older, more welcoming, more exotic Mars: a planet of ancient canals cutting through red deserts studded with the ruined cities of dying races.
