This volume is also a poetic journal covering the summer & early fall, & mostly set in Portland, Oregon. Although "Sunflower Sky" is connected to the earlier volumes, each can be read & enjoyed separately. There's a distinct focus on time, mortality, & the respite found in love & compassion in these poems.

Book Description
From something as simple as the wingbeat of a butterfly to the fascinating world of quantum physics, this poetry and prose book is embroidered with colourful threads of experiences that decorate the empty fabric of existence. The most important inspiration for this book is the dark thread of grief—ecological grief. This poetry and prose book follows on the parallel, the Odyssey of Love‒‒the most powerful but volatile energy, dreamed into existence by the state of Nothingness. The Fall of Love from the void causes a cosmic explosion (Big Bang) wherein Love disintegrates into infinite pieces. The broken pieces of Love take the form of infinite universes and realities. In one of the realities, the fragments of Love form our Universe. And in a cosmic dawn, Love burst into being in all life forms on Earth. The parallel odysseys unravel as Love evolves in the form of humanity and seeks to reclaim its power. Thus, humanity is Love personified, and each one of us is the manifestation of Love. In this book, Padma Angmo sensitizes readers to the devastating effects of habitat and biodiversity loss on both local and global ecosystems. As an indigenous writer from Ladakh, she amplifies marginalized voices by addressing the impact of environmental degradation on her community. She prioritizes mental health and healing as a crucial foundation for resilience and collective global climate action. Ruler of the Sky invites the readers on a healing journey to reclaim our power. This collection of poetry and prose is divided into six parts— Before the Big Bang The Big Bang Equilibrium The Big Crunch The Big Enigma The Big Freeze

Book Description
Go-To Telescopes Under Suburban Skies is the first book specifically written for amateur astronomers who own, or who are about to purchase, a computer-controlled ‘go-to’ telescope. The advantage of the ‘go-to’ capability is enormous – the telescope can be aimed at any object in the sky with great speed and accuracy – which is why these instruments are so popular. Making the realistic assumption that the observer is using a relatively small telescope and is observing from a backyard in a suburban area, this book provides literally hundreds more targets beyond those offered by the built-in ‘nightly tours’ that feature on the telescope’s computer tours. And instead of wasting many pages on maps and coordinates, it leads the computer to locate the targets, and so has room to suggest many more fascinating deep-sky objects and provide detailed observing lists and information about what's being viewed.

Book Description
Imprisoned in the Gulags for a crime he did not commit, Benya Golden joins a penal battalion made up of Cossacks and convicts to fight the Nazis. He enrolls in the Russian cavalry, and on a hot summer day in July 1942, he and his band of brothers are sent on a suicide mission behind enemy lines—but is there a traitor among them? The only thing Benya can truly trust is his horse, Silver Socks, and that he will find no mercy in onslaught of Hitler’s troops as they push East.Spanning ten epic days, between Benya’s war on the grasslands of southern Russia and Stalin’s intrigues in the Kremlin, between Benya’s intense affair with an Italian nurse and a romance between Stalin’s daughter and a war correspondent, this is a sweeping story of passion, bravery, and survival—where betrayal is a constant companion, death just a heartbeat away, and love, however fleeting, offers a glimmer of redemption.
