Download or read book New York to Hong Kong in Two Hours the Future of Aviation written by Fred Broussard and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2012-12 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new superfast space plane that skirts the edge of space, inbound on a two-hour jaunt to Hong Kong, collides with a satellite. Metals groan as if in pain. The aircraft slowly overturns. Suddenly the emergency floor lights extinguish. All manner of objects bounce and sail though the cabin. In the darkness some debris strikes passengers. Screams of injury join shouts of terror. Various tourists claw at their restraints, freed, they fall away into darkness. Bounding travelers kick, and swing their arms; scratching the bodies of other sightseers. Indescribable howls fill the fuselage. Deafening, hysterical shrieks eject from every throat. One, clear, horrified voice rises above the others. "GOD! GOD. OH GOD." The terrified screamer could be male or female, extreme fear reshapes the shouter's larynx. This is the ultimate roller-coaster ride. The grinding metal begins to sound musical like the screech of an electric guitar. The space plane lurches into the vastness of the stellar realm. With fuel exhausted and onboard life-gases spewing from its hull, the space plane drifts and twists through space. The vacationer's eyes bulge as they await catastrophe. Passengers draw lots to determine who will be among those saved, but unlike the Titanic, in "New York to Hong Kong in Two Hours!" there are no deferrals for women and children.

Download or read book The Restoration Handbook for Yachts written by Enric Rosello and published by Fernhurst Books Limited. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Restoring a fibreglass yacht is not something for the faint-hearted, even if you don't intend to do all the work yourself (you still need to understand the processes to be gone through). But the satisfaction of the job well done, not to mention the possible cost savings on buying a new yacht, are immense. Nevertheless, it is not something that should be undertaken lightly and without careful consideration. That is where this book comes in, as Enric Roselló takes you through his restoration of a 30-year-old 40-foot yacht. Broken down into 46 chapters, Enric details the stages of his restoration in chronological order. For each he starts with an overview of the task and the thinking behind the approach he took. Just these introductory pieces alone are ideal for someone contemplating a restoration (of all or part of a boat) to read before making the final decision as to whether to go ahead. For those who decide to take on the challenge, each overview is followed by an in-depth step-by-step account of what they did, accompanied by numerous informative photo sequences (with over 800 colour photos in total). The material in this book would be invaluable both to boat owners who are considering a complete overhaul and to those who have one or two smaller jobs to do. All possible subjects are covered, including dealing with osmosis, the interiors, deck, rigging, electrics and electronics, plumbing, engine, galley, heads and much more. The author is very honest about the amount of work and commitment required and also offers advice about when to call in the professionals and when to consider doing the work yourself. Anyone contemplating a complete or partial restoration is advised to read this book beforehand, so you know what is ahead, and to follow its guidance if you to decide to proceed.

Download or read book How It All Works How We Fit In written by Don Kerr and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2004-11-22 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don Kerr www.donkerr.com Jane Roberts SETH books taught us that we create our reality through our beliefs. Richard Bachs books showed us that space and time are illusions which we create and which then reflect back to us, usually surprising us along the way! Written by a practicing architect who enjoys seeing how things go together, this book explores many areas of wonderment: Where did we come from? What are we doing here? Where does it all lead? Is this reincarnation stuff for real? And what, for Heavens sake, does time is an illusion mean to our time-obsessed generations? Can anyone help us understand any of this? And then there are ghosts, the light at the end of the tunnel, near-death experiences, possession, ouija boards, astral travel. A lot of stuff to consider, or be repelled by. Asked by a confused young woman in the New Age section of a bookstore in Montral if the author had any idea where a beginner should start reading to avoid the garbage, he suggested several titles in which he had confidence, but realized that there really was nothing on any shelves at that time like HOW IT ALL WORKS which could pull all the strings together into a lifeline. What was needed was something that could give one an overview of the related thinking of the streamspsychic theorems, unexplained observations and experiences, odd practices, the speculations of theoretical physicswhich would avoid nonsensical invention. And it would have to be daring, because we live in a society and culture where we have been brought up to believe a large number of things on faith which simply dont hold up to thoughtful examination. And that can be daunting. There was a time when owning this book would have had you imprisoned. It was clever of you to incarnate in a historic period when you can enjoy this speculation without looking over your shoulder! This book will try to answer your questions, will look at what we know so far, what the implications are of that knowledge, and how we can adjust our lives so that they better fit our dreams. And we can. Simple illustrations show ways to visualize several of the concepts. Written with a lively sense of humor, the text will challenge your programming, but will gently guide you to a place where you will know that lifes challenges have purpose and meaning, and nothing is hidden from you in a neutral Universe that somehow cares. You just have to take off your blinders. Life is adventuresome, and it is us who make it appear any way we wish. Choose well.
