Book excerpt: In the desert outside El Paso stands an aging drive-in movie theater named after the unusual patch of rust-colored sand on which it was built: the Red Sands. Twenty years ago it was a state-of-the-art cinematic oasis; now, in the summer of 1982, it's a dilapidated relic, host mainly to B-list exploitation movies, Friday-night drunks, local trailer-trash, and a shady cast of employees. But during that same extraordinary summer the Red Sands Drive-In will undergo a brief renaissance, brought on partly by the efforts of three "square peg" high-school kids, and partly by the release of the popular movie E.T.-The Extra-Terrestrial. In the process they will come to know the drive-in's owner, whose past holds more than one terrible secret, and they'll be drawn into a feud between him and a rival businessman. What follows is more than any of them bargained for, including a showdown with a major high-school bully, an unofficial "exorcism" on the drive-in itself, a blossoming teenage romance or two and, just maybe, one teenager's learning to make peace with his mother's death.

Fleeing a life of abuse, Sheri climbs aboard a mail-order mate spaceship bound for a distant station, but never arrives… Fate intervenes and her trip takes a quick, deadly turn when she crashes on the planet Atera. She’s surrounded by endless sand dunes, dangerous creatures, and alien beings that remind her of Earth lizards. But one particular lizard hardly leaves her thoughts—a sexy, two legged, muscular male bent on protecting and caring for her at all costs. Drazan is a fierce warrior, the strongest Ateran of the Red Sands, he rules his dunes with an iron fist and sharp sword, and is honor bound to face all challengers to his position. During one of these battles something… strange… happens. Fire rains from the skies and a strange black metal box filled with females crashes to the sands. All thoughts of fighting are lost to the allure of these odd humans—especially one deliciously curvy female who stirs his blood. Now he finds himself with dark yearnings, strong need, and a hardness between his legs that he’s never used before. With Sheri consuming his thoughts, Drazan may have forgotten about his last challenge but his opponent’s brother hasn’t. Now he’s determined to see Drazan suffer… even if that means killing Sheri.

Download or read book Prince Malu and the Red Sands of Armapour written by Tom Kurtz and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The setting for the story is in the Middle East more than one thousand years ago... when magic was still in the air. The story opens with Prince Malu fleeing for his life on his twentieth birthday. What was supposed to be a joyous occasion with visitors from several nations attending was turned into a terrorist attack by the Caliph of Oman and his men. They disguised themselves as guests and entered the palace. Then just when Malu's father, Ahmed Ben Crishna, King of Armapour was about to present Malu to the representatives of the various countries the attack began. The King is killed immediately. Queen Melina, Malu's mother, helps him to escape. She is killed with an arrow intended for Malu. Malu flees on a horse that was a birthday present from his mother. Malu pushes his mount as far and as fast as he is able, but cannot seem to shake the two relentless pursuers. The chase continues until Malu enters mysterious mountains that are rumored to harbor demons, evil spirits, lions, cobra, and other dangers. The men pursuing him are afraid of the mountains and give up the chase. Malu wanders into the mountains. He has no food or water and the only weapon he has is a saber, a birthday present from his father. Malu is so weary that he dismounts and falls asleep on the hard ground and dreams of all that had happened. He awakens and is attacked by bandits. Just when one of the bandits is about to deliver a killing blow to the unconscious Malu he is shot dead with an arrow seemingly to come from out of thin air. Kumar King of the forbidden city of Shayandra and his men had been watching Malu's progress since he entered the mountains. Kumar killed the bandit. When Malu finally regains consciousness he is surprised to find Kumar and his men have the bandits at their mercy. He is greeted by Kumar and asked to identify himself. Malu tells Kumar that he is the Prince of the kingdom of Armapour. Kumar takes Malu into the forbidden city of Shayandra. Malu meets Helita, Kumar's granddaughter, who later becomes the love of his life. Kumar decides to tell Malu the story of Shayandra. Malu learns that the city and its people have been under a curse for more than a thousand years. The curse fell upon them because a prior king of Shayandra had desecrated the tomb of an Egyptian Lion God. Not long after the tomb was desecrated the Lion God was reincarnated and now this half man, half lion monster, now lives in these mountains with his evil spirits and demons. The curse demands that every hundred years on the anniversary of the desecration a human sacrifice must be made to Lion God or all the people of Shayandra would die. This person must be a first-born of the royal family Shayandra. It was now the time again for the sacrifice and Helita would be the next victim. Kumar then tells Malu that the legend of the curse told of a prince, a savior, who would come some day and break the curse. Kumar tells Malu that he believes that Malu is that prince. Of course Malu does not believe it. Malu has already fallen in love with Helita and cannot stand the thought of her dying; so he agrees to help. He tells Kumar that what he feels he must do is free Armapour from the Caliph. Kumar convinces Malu to help the people of Shayandra by promising to raise an army and march on Armapour, once the curse broken. Kumar's words were, "we will turn the sands of Armapour red with the blood of your enemies." (This is where the title of the book originates.) If you like magic, flying carpets, secret passages, enchanted weapons, love, intrigue, and war; this story is for you.

Book excerpt: The Great Sand Sea in Egypt presents the history of one of the large sand seas in the Sahara, beginning with the sand supply by fluvial transport from partly distant areas and also by local sandstone weathering. It also details sand as carrier of information and shows the possibilities of sedimentary analysis in dealing with such a topic. Simple measurements may supply important information (e.g. salinity measurements). Well known methods can be developed further to answer special questions. A wealth of information can be drawn from especially adapted sedimentological investigations. In the end, bits of information from different analytical sources can be put together to reveal the history of a large sand sea. *Analyzes different geological sources to decipher the history of the Great Sand Sea*Presents the possibilities of sedimentary analysis to interpret the history of an area*Develops well-known methods to further answer special questions

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The construction materials industry is a major user of the world’s resources. While enormous progress has been made towards sustainability, the scope and opportunities for improvements are significant. To further the effort for sustainable development, a conference on Sustainable Construction Materials and Technologies was held at Coventry University, Coventry, U.K., from June 11th - 13th, 2007, to highlight case studies and research on new and innovative ways of achieving sustainability of construction materials and technologies. This book presents selected, important contributions made at the conference. Over 190 papers from over 45 countries were accepted for presentation at the conference, of which approximately 100 selected papers are published in this book. The rest of the papers are published in two supplementary books. Topics covered in this book include: sustainable alternatives to natural sand, stone, and Portland cement in concrete; sustainable use of recyclable resources such as fly ash, ground municipal waste slag, pozzolan, rice-husk ash, silica fume, gypsum plasterboard (drywall), and lime in construction; sustainable mortar, concrete, bricks, blocks, and backfill; the economics and environmental impact of sustainable materials and structures; use of construction and demolition wastes, and organic materials (straw bale, hemp, etc.) in construction; sustainable use of soil, timber, and wood products; and related sustainable construction and rehabilitation technologies.
