Book Description
Since early childhood, Sara Kent has been experimented on—and dominated by—an alien scientist desperate to save his dying race of male clones. She has passed every test, first out of fear, later because her children—the product of asexual genetic splicing—are being held hostage on the alien’s spacecraft. As long as she cooperates, they’re safe, which means she’ll do anything, including engaging in a brief sexual liaison with a random stranger so that the alien can study them. Unfortunately, Clay Ryerson—the hot guy she picks up in a bar for that purpose—falls madly in love with her and refuses to break up despite her every effort. The more she pushes him away, the more determined he becomes to rescue her from whatever is keeping them apart. Sara knows from brutal experience that she and the children aren’t the only ones in danger. This alien will kill anyone who gets too close to his precious specimen, including a handsome would-be hero with a death wish.

Pages : 72
Book Description
This novella will quench your thirst for more in Kate Donovan’s Perfect Specimen series, featuring alien geneticist Ga’rag, an alien searching for the perfect specimen. To archaeologist Brietta Ryerson, traveling to a remote location to excavate an ancient cemetery is the job of a lifetime and nothing is going to stop her from getting there, especially not a sinus infection, no matter how debilitating the pain. Except what she’s suffering from isn’t a sinus infection, but rather a pain-inducing chip implanted in her face by alien geneticist Ga’rag. His twin goals: test this specimen’s suitability for cloning, while also exacting revenge against Brietta’s cousin – the human who tried to thwart his first DNA-hunt. Meanwhile, cocky adventurer Sean Taggert regrets hiring Brietta for this gig despite her perfect credentials. For one thing, she’s annoyingly attractive. Plus, she’s too perceptive, and might realize that the cemetery is just a decoy – something to distract from Taggert’s real find. There’s no question that Sean Taggert is as sexy as he is talented, but Brietta has no intention of damaging her reputation for a small fling. Besides that, she’s too busy trying to keep her headaches under control to bother with passion. But for how long will the headaches simply remain headaches? Ga’rag is getting closer to finding his perfect specimen and this time no one is going to get in his way, not Brietta and certainly not cocky Sean Taggert.

Book Description
Attending college at 50-years-old was rare in the 1920's especially for a woman. For Ynés Mexía it marked the beginning of a career as a botanical collector. Throughout the rest of her life, she took long expeditions into the wilds of Mexico, South America and Alaska accompanied, with few exceptions, only by her native guides. These explorations enabled her to find thousands of specimens including several hundred newly discovered ones. Her legacy lives on through her botanical discoveries and a new genus and fifty new species named after her.

Buckling of Thin Metal Shells
Author: J.G. Teng
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 0203301609
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 518
Book Description
Thin-walled metal shell structures are highly efficient in their use of material, but they are particularly sensitive to failure by buckiling. Many different forms of buckling can occur for different geometries and different loading conditions. Because this field of knowledge is both complex and industrially important, it is of great interest and concern in a wide range of industries. This book presents a compilation and synthesis of a wealth of research, experience and knowledge of the subject. Information that was previously widely scattered throughout the literature is assembled in a concise and convenient form that is easy to understand, and state-of-the-art research findings are thoroughly examined. This book is useful for those involved in the structural design of silos, tanks, pipelines, biodigestors, chimneys, towers, offshore platforms, aircraft and spacecraft. Buckling of Thin Metal Shells is essential reading for designers, researchers and code writers involved with thin-walled metal shell structures.
