Download or read book I Cosmo written by Carlie Sorosiak and published by Walker Books US. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A golden retriever narrates a hilarious, heart-tugging tale of a dog and his humans as he tries to keep his family together while everything around them falls apart. Ever since Cosmo became a big brother to Max ten years ago, he’s known what his job was: to protect his boy and make him happy. Through many good years marked by tennis balls and pilfered turkey, torn-up toilet paper and fragrant goose poop, Cosmo has doggedly kept his vow. Until recently, his biggest problems were the evil tutu-wearing sheepdog he met on Halloween and the arthritis in his own joints. But now, with Dad-scented blankets appearing on the couch and arguing voices getting louder, Cosmo senses a tougher challenge ahead. When Max gets a crazy idea to teach them both a dance routine for a contest, how can Cosmo refuse, stiff hips or no? Max wants to remind his folks of all the great times they’ve had together dancing — and make them forget about the “d” word that’s making them all cry. Told in the open, optimistic, unintentionally humorous voice of a golden retriever, I, Cosmo will grab readers from the first page — and remind them that love and loyalty transcend whatever life throws your way.

Download or read book The Christ Haunted Landscape written by Susan Ketchin and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2009-11-12 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here are Susan Ketchin's discerning interviews with twelve southerners living and writing in the South, and along with a piece of fiction by each are her penetrating commentaries about the impact of southern religious experience on their work. A little more than a generation ago Flannery O'Connor made a startling observation about herself and her fellow southerners: “By and large,” she said, “people in the South still conceive of humanity in theological terms. While the South is hardly Christ-centered, it is most certainly Christ-haunted. The southerner who isn't convinced of it is very much afraid that he may have been formed in the image and likeness of God.” Guided by O'Connor's perceptive commentary about southerners in general, Susan Ketchin has created a deeply revealing collection that mirrors the pervasive role of religion in the literature by the recent generation of notable southern writers. Ketchin confirms that “old-time religion” remains a potent force in the literature of the contemporary South.

Download or read book Gravity Drive Key to the Cosmos written by Paul H. Rosenfeld and published by Gravity Drive Books. This book was released on 2023-10-05 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for Gravity Drive: “I started reading Gravity Drive - Key to the Cosmos after dinner, figuring I'd get a couple chapters into it just to see how it started...and couldn't put it down. I read the whole thing straight through. Well done! I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the characters. I loved the aliens.” Jerry Oltion - Nebula Award winning author of over 15 novels and 150 published stories, including numerous Authorized Star Trek novels. Since the invention of rockets, their propulsion systems have gone essentially unchanged. We still depend on blasting some type of propellant out the rear to shoot the rocket forward (Newton’s Third Law - check it out). There’s two main problems with this method: propellant is always in limited supply, and therefore you can’t really go very fast. This is why we use gravitational assist from planets and the Sun, to get us places. It still takes years, and that’s just inside our solar system. What if we could go to our Moon in hours or Mars in a couple days, and even turn around mid-flight if we forgot our toothbrush? This is the story behind the development of the Gravity Drive propulsion system. WAIT Spoiler Alert (Author’s note: I’ve always hated spoilers. Can’t believe I have to write one). Howard, the hero of our story (well, he’s not really a hero so much as an engineer) has a close encounter of the,.... well,..... close kind. He realizes he’s far more interested in how the ship moves than who might be inside. Through a series of unusual life experiences, he dedicates himself to duplicating the alien craft’s drive system, which he believes centers around the ability to create a gravity well for propulsion, which is really consistent with the bulk of UFO (UAP) sightings. Our story takes us back to 1947 Roswell (yeah that place), where we learn what really happened that night, and the surprising reason the government wants to keep it quiet. We go forward in time and meet a pair of trouble making engineers with unfortunate last names, who are in charge of protecting and uncovering the secrets from the crashed alien craft. And then they meet our hero, Howard, who brings the knowledge that finally helps our engineers discover how the alien craft works. Actually, how it worked, cause not so much now. Together, our now three heroes convince NASA to build the first Gravity Drive space ship, and off they fly on an adventure that takes them to meet friendly aliens and a bio-engineered, snarky AI computer. We explore our solar system and discover short cuts through space and time that give us the key to exploring the Cosmos (hence the title of the book, in case you missed that). Our three heroes come back after a long journey through space and time to bring hope to the life on Earth. In other words, as it turns out, advanced civilizations in our galaxy really hate having violent species invading their peaceful space. So we’re given an ultimatum, along with some really nice gifts, that humans need to get their shit together, stop making war, and clean up their planet or else! That pretty much says it. But hey, there’s lots of fun along with way, and one really smart dog that you’re going to love. Whenever possible the book emphasizes science over fiction. So, you can read this to your kids and they might actually learn something. The book was written for everyone from rocket scientists and engineers, to young people who dream of someday being one of those two. It’s also written for Vegans (the vegetarian type, not the ones from Vega), peaceful environmental activists, and dog lovers. If you’re looking for a book that doesn’t rely on violence to keep you turning pages, and proves that science and exploration can be fun while also being educational, then you’ve found your next great book. Did I mention there’s also lots of beer and pizza (basic nutrients for your everyday engineer)? If you enjoy this book, please keep in mind it’s the first in the Gravity Drive trilogy. Don’t miss the sequels: Gravity Drive 2 - Jason’s Ark, and of course the third book, which is why they call these trilogies: Gravity Drive 3 - The Scattering. Thank you. And if you buy this book it just proves you have really great taste in authors.
