Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the Montgolfier's hot air balloon carried a chicken, a goat, and a duck into the Parisian skies, scientists have dreamed of contraptions to explore the atmosphere. With the advent of the space age, new airborne inventions were needed. From the Soviet Venus balloons to the advanced studies of blimps and airplanes for the atmospheres of Mars and Titan, Drifting on Alien Winds surveys the many creative and often wacky ideas for exploring alien skies. Through historical photographs and stunning original paintings by the author, readers also explore the weather on planets and moons, from the simmering acid-laden winds of Venus to liquid methane-soaked skies of Titan.
Download or read book Cleopatra Incarnate and the great alien mother snake written by Katrina Morrow and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2023-05-30 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cleopatra, a Queen and the last Pharaoh of Egypt comes from space as the most prominent foreign galactic being ever to walk the face of the Earth. As the Egyptians believed that in death all would recycle and renew into new life, so Cleopatra is reborn again through a woman of the American Civil Rights Era and then she is born again through another young woman of the American aughts. In this incarnate story Cleopatra is something other than human as she embarks on a journey on Earth in the name of truth, justice and union of Earth and the rest of space. She is poetic and speaks the language of outer space as she faces trials on Earth and asks her old notorious snake, that took her life, to guide her through Earth’s authorities' accusations against her. As the ancient war between Rome and Egypt lead to her demise, her alien spirit takes flight into the American Era where trials are wavering in two different human women that embody the very alien spirit of Cleopatra.

Download or read book How Alien Would Aliens Be written by John A. Cramer and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-07-20 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How alien would aliens be? Would they look like us or perhaps more like an octopus? How would they communicate? Could we even hear their voices, assuming they have them? Like us, aliens would be constrained by the physical world. Understanding how those physical constraints apply both to us and to aliens is the theme of this book. The constraints imply that they will not be all that different from us, perhaps half to twice as big as we are. They will depend on vision and hearing as we do and they will live on a planet much like ours. But where will they be? Do they even exist? The odds are not good. We may be the only intelligent life in the universe.

Download or read book Translation Criticism Potentials and Limitations written by Katharina Reiss and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-23 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Katharina Reiss's now classic contribution to Translation Studies, Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Übersetzungskritik: Kategorien und Kriteren für eine sachgerechte Beurteilung von Übersetzungen, first appeared in 1971. This is the first English translation of this major work, allowing students and practitioners of translation in the English-speaking world to make more extensive use of Reiss's pioneering treatment of a central theme in translation: how to develop reliable criteria for the systematic evaluation of translations. Using a wealth of interesting and varied examples, Reiss offers a systematic and illuminating text typology, a pragmatic approach to text analysis, a functional perspective on translation and a hermeneutic view of the translator, thus accounting for some of the most important aspects of the translation process: the text (both source and target versions), the conditions which determine the translator's decisions, and the translator as an individual whose personal interpretation has to be respected by any critic. In the three decades since Katharina Reiss wrote, the terminology of translation studies has evolved on many fronts. Erroll Rhodes' translation strikes an optimal balance between remaining faithful to the original presentation and using terminology that today's reader would generally understand and value.

A heightened sense of smell and taste—plus a photographic memory—make him an invaluable asset to his partner. But when Ukiah kills a crazed young woman in self-defense, he draws the attention of the FBI’s most wanted: a violent and elusive gang known as the Pack. And it won’t be long before Ukiah discovers just how much he has in common with the Pack: a bond of brotherhood, blood...and destiny.
