Book Description
The building of the hadron collider was once big news, but now it is just part of the scenery for most of the community, until Airlie and other children start showing unusual gifts. Airlie uses her psi abilities to solve a number of mysteries and crimes at her school and in her neighborhood - and comes to the attention of Inspector Jonathan Humble of Minor Crimes. Towards the end of the school year, Airlie gets two intriguing invitations: an offer of a scholarship to a new middle school with 'opportunity classes' in exotic subjects like Quantum Psychology, and a free place at a summer camp run by Inspector Humble. The two invitations and her emergent psionic talents are clearly connected, and Airlie can't resist the opportunity to learn more about her gifts and to meet others with psyq powers at the camp. But Airlie ends up in a desperate race to rescue one of her new friends. This story is set in the "Appearance of Magic" universe. People are saying: 'Harry Potter meets Friday Barnes with shades of Mercedes Lackey or Anne McCaffrey' — SAD 'A middle grade adventure with an original twist and a cast of endearing young heroes, Time for PsyQ is a phenomenally fun read, a kind of mash-up of Scooby Doo and Harry Potter. Like other young fellowship series, the key is the strong relationship dynamics, which are especially strong here, and the premise is enchanting from the start.' — SPR 'A cleverly plotted supernatural adventure for middle graders and young teenagers with a strong cast of young characters and a memorable protagonist... there's an Enid Blyton feel to the book, particularly when she's solving a mystery.' — The Wishing Shelf Awards 'A creative, imagination-inspiring fantasy/adventure for upper middle-grade readers as well as adults.' — Reedsy Discovery 'Time for PsyQ by Marti Ward is an absolute gem in the realm of young adult hard science fiction.

ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"there's a difference between being a loner and being alone" A 3.5 year mission from which they'll never return, a 2.5 million lightyear journey to another galaxy, a 1.5 member crew comprising a solitary captain and a half-baked AI... Captain Sideris is a loner and knows LETO ships like nobody else, having risen to command the Lunar-Earth construction fleet, as they build ships to mine asteroids and colonize Mars. Suddenly he finds the colonization effort is for another planet, in another galaxy, and he's the sole human guinea pig being gated through a wormhole with an AI playing Noah to LETO SS Casindra's ark. Everything goes well as he starts to survey four planets they plan to exploit, as he gets to know emergent AI 'Al', as he discovers he's building a special relationship with empathic cat 'Simba'. Problem is message drones gated home are not being returned per protocol, with little explanation, no supplies, and some cryptic and disturbing messages. This full length novel reminiscent of Clarke and Asimov is set in the multi-author multi-genre Paradisi universe. Casindra Lost opens the Lost Mission Series which explains what happened to some of the early missions that underlie the various Paradisi colonization and post-colonization stories. Welcome to the Paradisi Chronicles... It's not Alice down the rabbithole, but Sideris down the wormhole. And that's just the start of the story. It's not the old man and the sea, more like the old man and the galaxy. The enemy is not a whale, but a whale of an asteroid... And that's the start of another story. Word to the Wise: This is the Lost Mission Series. So it's not really a cliffhanger ending when the missions end up, you know, lost! For those that are familiar with the Paradisi Chronicles universe already, this series fills in backstory to the earlier books. Casindra Lost and Moraturi Lost take us on two different ships as they commence their mission, and each is the start of a separate arc, arcs that take several books to resolve. But the stories are not independent, and intertwine in a multitude of ways - still you can read either arc independently, starting either one and picking up the other later. Casindra Lost won the Gold Medal in Science Fiction in the 2021 Global Book Awards for Self-Publishing, and Moraturi Lost won Silver in Science Fiction/Adventure. Moraturi Ring won Silver for Science Fiction Series in the 2021 Global Book Awards. "If you enjoyed The Martian, and were looking for something better than Ad Astra, Casindra Lost is for you!"

The Rigveda
Author: Joel P. Brereton
Publisher:
ISBN: 0190633360
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
The Rigveda is a monumental text in both world religion and world literature, yet outside a small band of specialists it is little known. Composed in the latter half of the second millennium BCE, it stands as the foundational text of what would later be called Hinduism. The text consists of over a thousand hymns dedicated to various divinities, composed in sophisticated and often enigmatic verse. This concise guide from two of the Rigveda's leading English-language scholars introduces the text and breaks down its large range of topics--from meditations on cosmic enigmas to penetrating reflections on the ability of mortals to make contact with and affect the divine and cosmic realms through sacrifice and praise--for a wider audience.

The Rigveda: 3-Volume Set
Author:
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199720789
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1725
Book Description
The Rigveda is the oldest Sanskrit text, consisting of over one thousand hymns dedicated to various divinities of the Vedic tradition. Orally composed and orally transmitted for several millennia, the hymns display remarkable poetic complexity and religious sophistication. As the culmination of the long tradition of Indo-Iranian oral-formulaic praise poetry and the first monument of specifically Indian religiosity and literature, the Rigveda is crucial to the understanding both of Indo-European and Indo-Iranian cultural prehistory and of later Indian religious history and high literature. This new translation represents the first complete scholarly translation into English in over a century and utilizes the results of the intense research of the last century on the language and the ritual system of the text. The focus of this translation is on the poetic techniques and structures utilized by the bards and on the ways that the poetry intersects with and dynamically expresses the ritual underpinnings of the text.
