Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starduster Yes, I'm Max Andrews. I'm one of the guys who fought and bled and worked to get to Mars. I figure what I gave up in those early years gave me the right to pilot the next big jump. I've lied and stolen for that right. I'd have killed, too, but I didn't have to. Instead, I let a woman give her life so I could have my chance, my door to space. You think I'd stop at anything, now? I'll be on that rocket, blasting away on America's biggest adventure, the hop out into the stars themselves. Only Fred Brown could have written this deeply moving science fiction novel about one man's epic, life-long struggle to open mankind's pathway to the stars.

Download or read book Lights in the Sky written by Michael Maunder and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-11-07 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many lights and other objects in the sky go unrecognised, or at least are little understood by those observing them. Such things range from the commonplace like rainbows and meteors, to the distinctly unusual like the green flash and ball lightning. And there is still a residuum of objects that remain unidentified by the watcher – classed generally as ‘UFOs’, a description which today has connotations of the mysterious, even of extraterrestrial visitors. The first part of this book is an identification guide, very much like the "plant identifier" sections found in a good gardening or botany book. It allows quick (and structured) identification of known aerial phenomena, whether at night or during the day. The objects thus found are referenced to the second part of the book... The second part gives a full description, physical explanation, and where relevant notes on observing and photographing the various phenomena. Some will need optical aids such as binoculars or telescopes, but the main thrust of the book is identification and explanation rather than imaging. The final chapter approaches UFOs from a scientific standpoint, particularly the way in which human perception and often preconception affects the outcome. It does however finish with a short section on "extraterrestrial UFOs", emphasising the burden of proof aspect and touching on the scientific theories of life on other worlds and the improbability of visitors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MISSION OF EMPIRE Earthmen had colonized hundreds of planets in the four centuries of deep space exploration—independent new civilizations founded by the discontented and adventurous of Terra. Trouble was, they were too independent—and the Terran government had ambitions for a space empire. A giant battle cruiser went out into the starlanes, with instructions to persuade the colonial planets to join the Empire—and with a couple of thousand troops to back up the persuasion ! It looked like an interesting, if easy, mission—after all, what kind of opposition could a bunch of backwoods planets offer to the most advanced military power in the Galaxy? Quite a lot, as it turned out ... and all of it wildly unexpected! One of the "old pros" of science-fiction, Eric Frank Russell has, in THE GREAT EXPLOSION, written a fast-paced and compelling adventure—a fascinating look at a possible tomorrow. A satirical Classic.

Download or read book Lights in the Sky written by Paul C. Vinci and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2022-11-02 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lights in the Sky: Are We Not Alone? features twelve extraordinary stories about UFO witnesses or abductees. Are we alone? This age-old question has been debated since the beginning of time. Thousands of UFO sightings are reported every year, in every country and every part of the world. Even more go unreported, and the number of encounters rise each year. There have been mass sightings by hundreds of people at once. Similar descriptions of beings and encounters have been documented by people thousands of miles apart. Research and scientific studies done by credible professionals have verified alien recordings on video and photographs. Stories and theories of visitations by superior beings have been documented and handed down through the generations, spanning back to the earliest recorded history. There are biblical references and ancient texts describing superior being visitations, as well as images of airborne objects and nonhuman creatures depicted in historical paintings and sculpture, dating back to the cavemen. Unexplained architecture and civilizations, far advanced for the time periods, are scattered throughout the world. Giant primitive symbols are carved in the Earth’s surface that can only be seen from the sky. With millions of galaxies, billions of stars, and infinite planets scattered throughout space, the odds that life exists elsewhere are high. Has planet Earth been visited by those not of this world?

Preface “The deaf listens to words of the mute; For only the soul can underastand the unsaid and the unheard words. People were divided into seventy-two languages and borders arose.” These lines belong to a Turkish thinker who lived in the 13th century. UNESCO declared 2021 as ‘The Year of Yunus Emre’ for the 700th anniversary of his death. In this book, we have also a short story dedicated to Yunus Emre. The teachers and students collaborating to make real a mutual dream discovered the wordless language stronger than any borders. We have a mutual dream with the young authors from seven different countries: to create a multilingual book. We published our first book last year on 23rd April 2020. Printed books were delivered to the young authors studying in partner schools. In the second year of our project, we created short stories with children from Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Croatia, Poland, Romania and Türkiye. Our students wrote many short stories and 65 of them were selected to be published in this book. We created an audiobook library with that stories. All the stories were narrated in their mother tongues, and we add English audio for selected stories. Also, stories are illustrated by the students from different countries. We also have a collaborative story this year, each part of the story was written by eTwinners studying in different schools. It consists of 13 parts. Nihal, the main character, needs to find an extinct plant, but it’s harder for her to find someone to rely on. We travelled with her in different countries and times to learn more about her adventure. It took seven months to complete that collaborative story. We used English as a common language during the meetings, but we created opportunities for our students to use their mother tongues too. We experienced multilingualism with our students and parents, they become familiar with different languages and cultures. Through our language-friendly project, we want to encourage students to develop an interest in different languages and cultures by welcoming and valuing all languages spoken. By creating a story, a child can channel their emotions and decide on how to behave in challenging situations they might encounter. While creating a story, the author shows empathy with the characters, expresses different emotions experienced by characters, or overcomes a difficult situation that a character encountered. This may help a child to express how they feel and understand how others feel. Storytelling is a way of self-discovery and self-expression, their feelings can be demonstrated throughout the child’s words. Creating a story can also develop language skills. The mother tongue education is a raison d’être for the schools. Because when learners develop their mother tongue, they are simultaneously fostering a whole host of other essential skills, such as critical thinking and literacy skills. Children with a strong mother tongue can easily pick up a second language and can transfer these skills to a second language. These children often display a deeper understanding of themselves and their environment. That affects every aspect of their lives, including their academic achievement. It has become a requirement to have language skills in addition to being a specialist within a particular field. I’d like to thank the teachers of Ali Tekinsoy Secondary School and my distinguished colleagues from partner schools for encouraging and inspiring their students to contribute to our second multilingual book named “Stories of Lights in the Sky-2”. More than a hundred students built this book with their words, lines and voices. They were brave enough to represent their schools by sending their stories to a book that has been read in more than fifty countries. We wish the best for them and hear their names again even years afters. Ahmet ARSLAN Editor Önsöz "Dilsizler haberini, kulaksız dinleyesi Dilsiz kulaksız sözün, can gerek anlayası Yetmiş iki dil saçtı, araya sınır düştü” Bu dizeler 13. yüzyılda yaşayan bir Türk düşünürüne aittir. UNESCO, 2021 yılını ölümünün 700. yıldönümü anısına ’Yunus Emre Yılı' olarak ilan etti. Bu kitapta Yunus Emre'ye adanmış bir kısa öykümüz de var. Şiirdeki gibi ortak hayalimiz için birlikte çalıştığımız öğretmen ve öğrencilerle, aradaki sınırları kaldıracak güçlü bir dil inşa ettik. Yedi farklı ülkeden genç yazarlarla paylaştığımız bir hayalimiz vardı; çok dilli bir kitap oluşturmak. İlk kitabımızı geçen yıl 23 Nisan'da yayımladık ve farklı ülkelerdeki genç yazarlarımıza basılı kitaplarını ulaştırdık. Projemizin ikinci yılında İrlanda, Portekiz, İspanya, Hırvatistan, Polonya, Romanya ve Türkiye'den çocuklarla kısa öyküler oluşturduk. Öğrencilerimiz birçok kısa öykü yazdılar ve 65 kısa öykü bu kitapta yayınlanmak üzere seçildi. Bu öykülerle faklı dillere öğrencilerimizin aşina olmasını sağlayacak bir sesli kitap kütüphanesi oluşturduk. Tüm öyküler ana dillerinde seslendirildi ve seçilen bazı öyküler için İngilizce seslendirme de ekledik. Ayrıca, öyküler farklı ülkelerdeki öğrenciler tarafından resmedildi. Proje boyunca etkileşimi artırmak adına mümkün olduğunca görevleri çapraz olarak dağıttık. Bu yıl geçen yıldan farklı olarak işbirlikçi bir öykümüz de var, öykünün her bölümü farklı okullarda okuyan öğrencilerce yazıldı. Bu öykü 13 bölümden oluşmaktadır. Öyküde kahramanımız Nihal, soyu tükenmiş bir bitkiyi bulmak için bir maceraya atılıyor, ancak güvenecek birini bulmak onun için daha zor. Macerasının devamını öğrenmek için birlikte farklı ülke ve zamanlarda yolculuk yaptık. 7 ayda yazılan öykümüzü beğenerek okuyacağınızı düşünüyorum. Bunun yanında öğrenci ve öğrenciler birçok toplantı yaptık, İngilizceyi ortak bir dil olarak kullandığımız toplantılarda öğrencilerimizin anadillerini de birbirinden öğrenmeleri için fırsatlar yarattık. Öğrencilerimiz ve velilerimiz çok dilliliği tecrübe etti, farklı dil ve kültürlere aşina oldular. Dil dostu projemizle, konuşulan tüm dilleri memnuniyetle karşılıyor ve değer vererek öğrencilerimizi farklı dillere ve kültürlere ilgi duymaya teşvik etmek istiyoruz. Kurgu oluşturmak çocuğun duygularını yönetebilmesine ve karşılaşabileceği zorlu durumlarda nasıl davranacağına karar verebilmesine olanak sağlar. Bir öykü oluştururken, yazar karakterleriyle empati kurar, karakterlerin yaşadığı farklı duyguları okuyucuya aktarır veya bir karakterin karşılaştığı zor bir durumun üstesinden birlikte gelir. Bu, bir çocuğun nasıl hissettiğini ifade etmesine ve başkalarının nasıl hissettiğini anlamasına yardımcı olabilecek bir çalışmadır. Öykü anlatımı, kendini keşfetme ve ifade etmenin emin bir yoludur, çocukların iç dünyası kelimeleri vasıtasıyla ortaya dökülür. Bir öykü kurgulamak dil becerilerini de geliştirebilir. Ana dil eğitimi okulların var oluş sebebidir. Çünkü öğrenciler anadillerini geliştirdiklerinde, aynı anda eleştirel düşünme ve okuryazarlık becerileri gibi bir dizi diğer temel becerileri geliştirirler. Güçlü bir ana dili olan çocuklar kolayca ikinci bir dil edinebilir ve bu becerileri ikinci bir dile aktarabilirler. Bu çocuklar genellikle kendileri ve çevreleri hakkında daha derin bir algılama düzeyine ulaşabilirler. Bu, akademik başarıları da dahil olmak üzere hayatlarının her yönünü etkiler. Belirli bir alanda uzman olmanın yanı sıra dil becerilerine sahip olmak bir gereklilik haline gelmiştir. Ali Tekinsoy Ortaokulu öğretmenlerine ve ortak okullardan seçkin meslektaşlarıma, öğrencilerini “Gökyüzündeki Işıkların Öyküsü-2” adlı ikinci çok dilli kitabımıza öğrencilerimizi katkıda bulunmaya teşvik ettikleri ve ilham verdikleri için teşekkür ediyorum. Yüzden fazla öğrenci bu kitabı kelimeleri, çizgileri ve sesleri ile inşa etti. Okullarını temsil etme özgüvenine sahip olan öğrencilerimiz, öykülerini elliden fazla ülkede okunan bir kitaba gönderdiler. Onların gelecekleri için en güzelini diliyoruz ve yıllar sonra isimlerini tekrar duymayı umut ediyoruz. Ahmet ARSLAN Editör 19.05.2021

Book excerpt: Red Queen meets The Scorpio Races in a high-flying new fantasy series filled with passion, betrayal, and adventure from debut author Shina Reynolds. Seventeen-year-old Aluma Banks has always dreamed of soaring freely through the skies astride a powerful winged steed of her own. But flying is a privilege granted only to the Riders of the king's Empyrean Cavalry, the aerial warriors who defend the borders of their land from the fallen kingdom of Laithlann. Each year, Rider hopefuls across Eirelannia compete in the Autumn Tournament for the honor of joining the Cavalry. Aluma, trained to ride and fight by her retired Empyrean Rider father, knows she has what it takes to prove herself worthy-if only her father hadn't forbidden her from joining their ranks, in the hope of protecting his only daughter from the perils of war. To make matters worse, Thayer, Aluma's best friend who could be becoming something more, is competing-and if he wins, he'll leave her behind. When Aluma's father is tragically injured just before the Tournament, she finds herself unexpectedly thrust into this year's competition. But as Aluma begins to pursue her dreams, she learns devastating secrets about the king and his never-ending war with Laithlann. In her quest for the truth, Aluma discovers a power deep within herself that may be the only way to save Eirelannia and the people she loves from the darkness that threatens to consume them all.

Download or read book Landscape Painting written by Mitchell Albala and published by Watson-Guptill. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because nature is so expansive and complex, so varied in its range of light, landscape painters often have to look further and more deeply to find form and structure, value patterns, and an organized arrangement of shapes. In Landscape Painting, Mitchell Albala shares his concepts and practices for translating nature's grandeur, complexity, and color dynamics into convincing representations of space and light. Concise, practical, and inspirational, Landscape Painting focuses on the greatest challenges for the landscape artist, such as: • Simplification and Massing: Learn to reduce nature's complexity by looking beneath the surface of a subject to discover the form's basic masses and shapes.• Color and Light: Explore color theory as it specifically applies to the landscape, and learn the various strategies painters use to capture the illusion of natural light.• Selection and Composition: Learn to select wisely from nature's vast panorama. Albala shows you the essential cues to look for and how to find the most promising subject from a world of possibilities. The lessons in Landscape Painting—based on observation rather than imitation and applicable to both plein air and studio practice—are accompanied by painting examples, demonstrations, photographs, and diagrams. Illustrations draw from the work of more than 40 contemporary artists and such masters of landscape painting as John Constable, Sanford Gifford, and Claude Monet. Based on Albala's 25 years of experience and the proven methods taught at his successful plein air workshops, this in-depth guide to all aspects of landscape painting is a must-have for anyone getting started in the genre, as well as more experienced practitioners who want to hone their skills or learn new perspectives.
