Book Description
Atlas is no ordinary planetary system. For decades, it has been kept free of villainy by a pantheon of deities. Heroic individuals who changed life for the better are literally immortalised; through the power of the mysterious metal known as divinite. They are gifted with powers and undying bodies sustained by the faith of mortals. These deities thought themselves invincible. And they were, until twelve-years-ago when the Stygir first appeared. This cryptic warrior race waged the most devastating war Atlas had seen. And the solution now threatens to breed conflict between the system’s four races. Bob Solis is an ordinary human boy in this chaotic epoch. Having spent his entire life in a shelter, he wants to be seen as something other than a liability. When a program opens to recruit new possible deities, he seizes this chance to be one who protects instead of one who is protected. He has no idea that during his training, a series of events will lead to him embark on the most dangerous venture of his life. In this new world of conflict, tension and scheming, a boy must become a warrior, or watch his system suffer a fate worse than anything he could imagine...

Trends in Airborne Equipment for Agriculture and Other Areas
Author: Sam Stuart
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483156109
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 375
Book Description
Trends in Airborne Equipment for Agriculture and Other Areas is a collection of papers presented at a Seminar on Techno-economic Trends in Airborne Equipment for Agriculture and other Selected Areas of the National Economy (Aero-agro '78), organized by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and held in Warsaw, Poland, on September 18-22, 1978. Contributors examine the role of airborne equipment in agriculture and other areas from the perspectives of economic, technical and environmental concerns. Attention is paid to the value of soil surveys and land evaluation maps and of biogeographical analyses of pest outbreaks in planning aerial application operations. This book is comprised of 45 chapters and begins with a discussion on the economic aspects of airborne equipment, with emphasis on the value of bio-aeronautics in crop production and protection and of aircraft in the management of biological resources. Among the many techniques to improve economic efficiency, speed and timing are highlighted. The technical design and operation of equipment for aircraft are also considered, along with the use of helicopters as airborne cranes for a wide range of applications such as building construction and geological surveys. The results of experiments on the corrosive effects of pesticides, both in water and oil suspensions, are presented. A non-polluting insecticide particularly suited for ultra-low volume operations is also described, together with the use of light aircraft for fighting forest fires. This monograph will be a valuable resource for economists and agriculturists as well as policymakers in both areas.

Preparations and equipment
Author: Fridtjof Nansen
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : "Fram" Expedition"
Languages : en
Pages : 788
Book Description
In September of 1893, Norwegian zoologist Fridtjof Nansen and a crew manned the schooner Fram, intending to drift, frozen in the Arctic pack-ice, to the North Pole. When it became clear that they would miss the pole, Nansen and his companion Hjalmar Johansen struck off by themselves. Racing the shrinking pack-ice, they attempted, by dog-sled, to go "farthest north." They survived a winter in a moss hut eating walruses and polar bears, and the public assumed they were dead. In the spring of 1896, after three years of trekking, and having made it to within four degrees of the pole, they returned to safety. Nansen's narrative stands with the best writing on polar exploration.
