Download or read book Trip Around the Sun Second Leg written by Joe Colby and published by Yorkshire Publishing. This book was released on 2022-08-11 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was called the roaring twenties. Bars were known as speakeasies. Radio sped to the inquisitive ear news of the world, Ford sold over a million Model-Ts, and a hardworking man could feed a family of six on ten dollars a day - with a nickel left over. The year was 1926, a time that a boy of thirteen - with his three siblings, his mother, and father - would take a yearlong travel from California to America's heartland, Missouri. This is but one leg of the story. You'll experience the challenges endured by our thirteen-year-old-long before there were freeways, air conditioning, and even in places paved roads. When you're a poor, migrant, farm-working family, you may hope for a change or better conditions, but it's probably not coming. To complain about it only makes it worse. The days turn into weeks for the family as they move firsthand through the elements of their travel. Rain, heat, dust, cold, rain, sunny days, starlit nights, rain - and, oh, let it be known, there was rain. All between each flat tire or breakdown of the car. A boy's character was built and rebuilt each new day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joes Trip Around the Sun is a novel for anyone who has ever felt the apparent conflict between religion and the discoveries of modern science.

Lonely in his reluctant agnosticism, yet inspired by a persistent sense of the metaphysical, Joe must endure a harrowing journey beset with mind-bending technological obstacles, heartbreaking setbacks, and near-death experiences, before he has any chance of uncovering the truth. But will it be in time to be reunited with the love of his life? Will this newfound understanding enable him to overcome a dark evil that has grown to threaten the world? Joes Trip Around the Sun blurs the line between the physical and spiritual worlds to the point where the reader may question the existence of that demarcation altogether.

Download or read book The New Gold Rush written by Joseph N. Pelton and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-04 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book captures the most exciting advances in the harnessing of space as a global resource. The authors track the growing number of space businesses and opportunities for investors, and the many possible benefits of spaceplanes, space stations and even space colonies. The authors also discuss the need for more regulatory reform. Companies like Planetary Resources are now forming to find mineral-rich asteroids and bring back new riches to Earth. Solar power satellites in the next few years will start to beam clean energy back to Earth, to meet the growing demands of a still-developing world. Innovative space industries are vital to the survival of modern human life, and the authors demonstrate what can be done to encourage the growing of the "New Space" frontier. From lassoing and then mining asteroids to developing new methods of defending the planet from space hazards and setting up new hotels and adventures for tourists in space, this new industry will have profound effects on Earth, especially on its economy. This book is based on a study of international experts commissioned ahead of the UNISPACE+50 meeting, having distilled the results of this comprehensive fact-finding process into a compact and very readable form. It can serve as an excellent starting point for understanding all the activities underway or planned to make space truly our next frontier.

Download or read book Between Cliffs and Airports written by Maximiliano Mills and published by ebooks del sur. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through unpredictable waves we are taken to the laboratory of outstanding faith, planned with playful zigzagging or violent changes, all within the goals of his imagination which he was never willing to give up on. This collection of personal milestones is captivating because of how well the narration is weaved, with moments of hilarious occasional suspense. It also opens, more than doors or windows, a parallel dimension that shows us how to never become discouraged when we have set a goal for ourselves. The author does not aspire to create literature, but indirectly invites us to reflect upon where we are today in our lives. He also intends to share a road built on stubborn paths, always knowing he would bring them down to earth. These are twenty-three stories told during a chronological ride that never deteriorates when it comes to surprises, rejoicing or triumphs, to the point of grazing unusual metaphysic sensations. These stories keep us on the edge of our seats and encompass a period between 1987 and 2008, with a vivacious and descriptive pulse in timing, people and landscapes to which we are invited. Having Max Mills as your flying guide, you are literally transported within those life capsules, feeling a delicious uncertainty. Enrique Courtin

Download or read book Creating Stellar Lessons with Digital Tools written by Kenneth J. Luterbach and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-05-12 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creating Stellar Lessons with Digital Tools prepares teachers in training and in-service teachers to use technologies for design and development activities with middle and high school students. While software, open resources, handheld devices, and other tools hold great potential to enhance learning experiences, teachers themselves must model technology use in ways that inspire students to become producers and leaders rather than consumers and followers. Featuring concrete applications in social studies, English, mathematics, and science scenarios, this book provides pre-service and in-service teachers with seven paths to creatively integrate and innovate with computational thinking, datasets, maker spaces, visual design, media editing, and other approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reissued version of the classic text Basic Physics will help teachers at both the high-school and college levels gain new insights into, and deeper understanding of, many topics in both classical and modern physics that are commonly taught in introductory physics courses. All of the original book is included with new content added. Short sections of the previous book (174 in number) are labeled 'Features.' These Features are highlighted in the book, set forth in a separate Table of Contents, and separately indexed.Many teachers will value this book as a personal reference during a teaching year as various topics are addressed.
