Book excerpt: The truth about the links will be deadly for Llad Fleck. No one ever told him about the psychic traits of his Viking ancestors and their extraordinary heritage―or how they died. He never heard that a powerful paranormal research institute in London considered him a lethal threat. All Llad knows for sure is that the men he plays ball against complain that he has “mad skills not suitable for a teenager.” When Llad meets an eccentric parapsychologist, she tells him she has waited decades just to teach him to expand his mind to access his unique gifts. Although her stories come across as too far-fetched, Llad tries studying her techniques. Even if he does have some kind of ancient link, Llad questions if he has the talent or patience to grasp the preternatural senses she thinks he inherited. After multiple killings shatter Llad’s life, he still doesn’t know who is behind the brutal murders or why he’s involved. He finally realizes that he is now fighting for his life against a fanatical enemy who thinks Llad controls the secrets of his Norse fore-fathers. Llad knows nothing about any of this and takes off halfway around the world searching for clues about his cryptic lineage while constantly being distracted by dreams of a mysterious girl who might be the key to his mastering the bizarre psychic gifts he will need to survive.

Download or read book Say Her Name written by Francisco Goldman and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2011-04-05 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pulitzer Prize–finalist’s intimate autobiographical novel of a marriage cut tragically short is “a beautiful love story, and an extraordinary story of loss” (Colm Tóibín). In 2005, celebrated novelist Francisco Goldman married Aura Estrada. The two were deeply in love, and Aura was a gifted young writer on the cusp of her own brilliant career. But while on vacation only a month before their second anniversary, Aura died in a tragic accident. In Say Her Name, Goldman pours his feelings of love and unspeakable grief into a fictionalized account of their brief time together. Desperate to keep Aura alive in his memory, Goldman collects everything he can about her, delving deeply into the writings she left behind. From her childhood and university days in Mexico City to her studies at Columbia University, through the couple’s time in New York City and travels to Europe, Goldman composes a vivid and multifaceted portrait. Filled with “propulsive drama” (The Boston Globe), Say Her Name is a tribute to who Aura Estrada was and who she would’ve been, that “will also transport you into the most primal joy in the human repertoire—the joy of loving—and reveal it with aching vibrancy” (San Francisco Chronicle).

Download or read book Accurate Clock Pendulums written by Robert J. Matthys and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2004-06-03 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shortt clock, made in the 1920s, is the most famous accurate clock pendulum ever known, having an accuracy of one second per year when kept at nearly constant temperature. Almost all of a pendulum clock's accuracy resides in its pendulum. If the pendulum is accurate, the clock will be accurate. In this book, the author describes many scientific aspects of pendulum design and operation in simple terms with experimental data, and little mathematics. It has been written, looking at all the different parts and aspects of the pendulum in great detail, chapter by chapter, reflecting the degree of attention necessary for making a pendulum run accurately. The topics covered include the dimensional stability of different pendulum materials, good and poor suspension spring designs, the design of mechanical joints and clamps, effect of quartz on accuracy, temperature compensation, air drag of different bob shapes and making a sinusoidal electromagnetic drive. One whole chapter is devoted to simple ways of improving the accuracy of ordinary low-cost pendulum clocks, which have a different construction compared to the more expensive designs of substantially well-made ones. This book will prove invaluable to anyone who wants to know how to make a more accurate pendulum or pendulum clock.

Download or read book Heroides written by Ovid and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-11-25 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the twenty-one poems of the Heroides, Ovid gave voice to the heroines and heroes of epic and myth. These deeply moving literary epistles reveal the happiness and torment of love, as the writers tell of their pain at separation, forgiveness of infidelity or anger at betrayal. The faithful Penelope wonders at the suspiciously long absence of Ulysses, while Dido bitterly reproaches Aeneas for too eagerly leaving her bed to follow his destiny, and Sappho - the only historical figure portrayed here - describes her passion for the cruelly rejecting Phaon. In the poetic letters between Paris and Helen the lovers seem oblivious to the tragedy prophesied for them, while in another exchange the youthful Leander asserts his foolhardy eagerness to risk his life to be with his beloved Hero.
Download or read book Breaking and Dissipation of Ocean Surface Waves written by Alexander Babanin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-19 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wave breaking represents one of the most interesting and challenging problems for fluid mechanics and physical oceanography. Over the last fifteen years our understanding has undergone a dramatic leap forward, and wave breaking has emerged as a process whose physics is clarified and quantified. Ocean wave breaking plays the primary role in the air-sea exchange of momentum, mass and heat, and it is of significant importance for ocean remote sensing, coastal and ocean engineering, navigation and other practical applications. This book outlines the state of the art in our understanding of wave breaking and presents the main outstanding problems. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in this topic, including researchers, modellers, forecasters, engineers and graduate students in physical oceanography, meteorology and ocean engineering.
