Book Description
On the planet of Manitoba, the Queen Mother can cure people, perform miracles, and prevent curses. At her side is Hector, a messenger with the power to protect and save the planet from danger. The inhabitants of Manitoba adore, respect, and believe everything Lord Hector says, just as they do the Queen Mother. But one day when he unexpectedly announces a blessing meeting to proclaim an important change, everything transforms. Superhuman is a thirteen-year-old magician who receives messages through the palm of his hand. Through the messages, he has learned that Manitoba and its inhabitants are in grave danger, and that there is a wizard boy who wants to find Luna, a witch girl who holds the energy that fuels Superhumans magic. Even worse, the wizard boy wants to destroy Manitoba, with help from Hector. After Superhuman discovers his magic is linked to Luna, he sets out to find her. When he finally locates Luna and rescues her from a horrible fate, she helps him battle Hector and the wizard boy. But will it be enough to stop them from carrying out their diabolical plan or will Manitoba be destroyed forever? In this exciting tale, a young magician embarks on a courageous quest to save his planet from a wizard boy determined to destroy it.

Luna Cognita
Author: Robert A. Garfinkle
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9781493916634
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1680
Book Description
All three volumes sold as a combined set for a one-time purchase! This comprehensive three-volume set takes you on an incomparable journey of our closest celestial neighbor. Not since the golden age of 19th-century lunar guidebooks has one author managed to cover the Moon in such detail as this all-in-one handbook. Volume 1 begins with a section on the Moon’s place in human history, mythology and lore, before gravitating closer to the Moon itself through scientific sections on the Earth-Moon system, lunar motions and cycles. Following these are technical chapters on how to purchase, use and care for lunar observing and photography equipment. Techniques for observing the Moon (both with the naked eye and optical instruments) are detailed as the reader approaches the Moon’s surface on this visual tour-de-force. A close-up exploration of the Moon is the result. The “crater-hop” chapters in Volumes 1 and 2 discuss the physical aspects of the Moon’s features, offering brief biographical information on the person for whom the feature is named, as well as how each individual was involved in the development of science and selenography from ancient to modern times. Volume 3 contains a plethora of useful appendices that cover a range of topics, from catalogues of lunar features such as nearside lunar domes to a comprehensive list of publishers and observing organizations. Luna Cognita goes far beyond any recent work in both breadth and depth of coverage on the Moon. Written in an accessible, engaging manner for readers of all backgrounds and levels of expertise, this handbook is thus an invaluable resource for anybody who looks up at the glowing sphere in the night sky and wants to learn more about the “Known Moon.”

Searching for Papa Luna
Author: Gordon K. Greene
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525510754
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
In this novel, a modern-day music historian, Richard Taylor, stumbles across a clue that may lead to the journals of Pope Benedict XIII (1328-1423), a.k.a. “Papa Luna”, who was one of three popes claiming legitimacy during the troublesome Western Schism in the Church. The journals were hidden away by Papa Luna’s servant, a loyal Templar knight, in a cave at Montserrat Abbey, near Barcelona. The clue is in the form of a poem set to music. But Richard is not the only one looking for the journals. He wants to reveal their contents to the world. Two rivals want to claim personal ownership, one in order to benefit privately, the other to destroy them, for fear they may reveal Benedict’s claim to the papacy was legitimate after all. While Richard races to decipher the cryptic message, tragedy strikes, creating a murder mystery, with Richard and his companions the prime suspects. Papa Luna was declared an antipope during the Schism. His justification for refusing to capitulate lay in the fact he was the last living cardinal created by Gregory XI, who was the last Supreme Pontiff recognized by the entire Church. As the only undisputed cardinal, Benedict argued, he was the only legitimate candidate for the papacy. However, at age eighty-seven at the Council of Constance, Benedict’s logic was rejected, and he was forced to flee for his life. Based on true events, this novel is a companion to Gordon Greene’s previous novel, Papa Luna, in which he documents Benedict’s life and Papa Luna’s journals expose an entirely different perspective on the Western Schism.
