Book Description
Nate Armstrong believes that he is a very ordinary boy, living in a small town with his two sisters, his father and his mother. He is a very active, eleven year old with a keen interest in all things to do with outer space. After school one Friday he receives a visit from an alien (Farden) from a distant planet who asks for his help in retrieving plans for a deadly weapon that were stolen from a secure facility by an enemy of the Confederation Of Planets, Security Force (C.O.P.S.). The alien explains to Nate that his great grandfather was, in fact, an alien, a member of long deceased race that used their significant powers to keep kept the Universe in balance. As a result, Nate has telepathic abilities that he had been using in his ordinary, everyday life, but without ever being aware of what he was doing. After some deliberation, Nate agrees to help and sets off on an adventure that will take his to the other edge of the Milky Way. As a newly recruited Confederation officer Nate is given a special suit that is more like a living creature with whom he is able to communicate. This will be the first of many books in which Nate Armstrong, as a newly commissioned Confederation Officer, embarks upon missions assigned to him by General Farden and, in the process, hones his newly discovered telepathic abilities.

Advances in Crop Environment Interaction
Author: Santanu Kumar Bal
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9811318611
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 437
Book Description
Agriculture is currently facing multi-faceted threats in the form of unpredictable weather variability, frequent droughts and scarcity of irrigation water, together with the degradation of soil resources and declining environmental health. These stresses result in the modification of plant physiology to impart greater resilience to changing abiotic and biotic environments, but only at the cost of declining plant productivity. In light of these facts, assessing the status of natural resource bases, and understanding the mechanisms of soil-plant-environment interactions so as to devise adaptation and mitigation approaches, represent great and imminent challenges for all of us. In this context, it is essential to understand the potential applications of modern tools, existing coping mechanisms and their integration, as this will allow us to develop suitable advanced mitigation strategies. From a broader perspective, the book deals with crop-environment interaction in the context of changing climatic conditions. To do so, it addresses four major aspects: Understanding the mechanism of carbon dynamics in the soil-plant-environment continuum; greenhouse gas fluxes in agricultural systems; and soil properties influenced by climate change and carbon sequestration processes. Mitigation and management of the photo-thermal environment to improve crop productivity; soil health under variable climate; reducing agro-ecosystem evapotranspiration losses through biophysical controls; and heat stress in field crops and its management. Studying the impact of climate change on biotic environments; insect-pest interactions; manifestations of disease; and adaptation strategies for island agro-ecosystems. Innovative approaches to assess stress impacts in crops, such as crop modeling, remote sensing, spectral stress indices etc. The book presents a collection of contributions from authoritative experts in their respective fields. Offering young researchers new perspectives and future research directions, it represents a valuable guide for graduate students and academics alike.

Legions of Boom
Author: Oliver Wang
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 0822375486
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
Armed with speakers, turntables, light systems, and records, Filipino American mobile DJ crews, such as Ultimate Creations, Spintronix, and Images, Inc., rocked dance floors throughout the San Francisco Bay Area from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s. In Legions of Boom noted music and pop culture writer and scholar Oliver Wang chronicles this remarkable scene that eventually became the cradle for turntablism. These crews, which were instrumental in helping to create and unify the Bay Area's Filipino American community, gave young men opportunities to assert their masculinity and gain social status. While crews regularly spun records for school dances, weddings, birthdays, or garage parties, the scene's centerpieces were showcases—or multi-crew performances—which drew crowds of hundreds, or even thousands. By the mid-1990s the scene was in decline, as single DJs became popular, recruitment to crews fell off, and aspiring scratch DJs branched off into their own scene. As the training ground for a generation of DJs, including DJ Q-Bert, Shortkut, and Mix Master Mike, the mobile scene left an indelible mark on its community that eventually grew to have a global impact.

Nikola Tesla's Death Ray and the Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster
Author: Sean Casteel
Publisher: Inner Light - Global communications
ISBN: 9781892062567
Category : Space vehicle accidents
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
READ THE FACTS NASA AND THE GOVERNMENT DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW. . . This large size - 8x11 -- deluxe edition provides evidence that the space agency issued warnings to the public about the danger of coming in contact with space shuttle debris in order to cover up the true cause of the Columbia disaster. WERE THEY ATTEMPTING TO CONCEAL THE FACT THAT A WEAPON FIRST ENVISIONED BY LEGENDARY INVENTOR NIKOLA TESLA OVER 80 YEARS AGO WAS THE REAL CULPRIT THAT BROUGH DOWN THE SHIP AND KILLED THE SEVEN ASTRONAUTS? Learn about the San Francisco photographer who took photos of the Columbia as it passed over the Bay Area. The photos, when developed, revealed anomalous flashes of purple light around the shuttle minutes before it was destroyed. NASAS later confiscated the photographer's camera and flew it to Mission Control by a special jet. What did the camera contain that made it so crucial for NASA to take possession of it? The book also includes the full text of a l940 newspaper article in which Tesla first unveils the invention of his "Death Ray to a sympathetic reporter. Did other scientists pick up where Tesla left off and create a super weapon the likes of which the world has never seen before? Was a device Tesla intended to be used defensively developed into a horrifying offensive weapon instead? Another chapter deals with the rumored Soviet conspiracy to sabotage the U.S. space program, leaving a path of destruction in their wake that includes eight U.S. rockets destroyed over a 19 month period. Was the U.S.S.R. also responsible for the Challenger disaster in 1986? This book will be of special interest to those who have long thought that much of Tesla's work continues behind our backs andunderground by a Secret Government that has a global agenda of world domination.
