Book Description
With dragons in the skies, magical horses and an alternate universe, "Time Chaser" is a Young Adult time travel fantasy with a twist. Fourteen year-old William Remington comes from a long line of time travelers ... he just doesn't know it yet. After retrieving a tattered cloth from a fire that his father had tried to burn, William is fascinated and yet repelled by the stories the smoldering cloth reveals. It shows him a life he knows nothing about. His own life in the year 1228! When he's sucked through a time warp into Middle Ages England, he must learn to survive on his wits. There he meets Trea, a girl whose mother is captivated and held captive by a sorcerer and his book of spells. Trea also seems caught in the time warp, but William soon realizes she's guarding deadly secrets -- secrets which could prove fatal if she decides to do the sorcerer's bidding. With his future uncertain, William realizes that he must defeat the sorcerer or forever be trapped in a time where he does not belong.
Chaser

ISBN: 1780747039
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
Chaser has a way with words. She knows over a thousand of them—more than any other animal of any species except humans. In addition to common nouns like house, ball, and tree, she has memorized the names of more than one thousand toys and can retrieve any of them on command. Based on that learning, she and her owner and trainer, retired psychologist John Pilley, have moved on to further impressive feats, demonstrating her ability to understand sentences with multiple elements of grammar and to learn new behaviors by imitation. John’s ingenuity and tenacity as a researcher are as impressive as Chaser’s accomplishments. His groundbreaking approach has opened the door to a new understanding of animal intelligence, one that requires us to reconsider what actually goes on in a dog’s mind. Chaser’s achievements reveal her use of deductive reasoning and complex problem-solving skills to address novel challenges. Yet astonishingly, Chaser isn’t unique. John’s training methods can be adopted by any dog lover. Through the poignant story of how he trained Chaser, raised her as a member of the Pilley family, and proved her abilities to the scientific community, he reveals the positive impact of incorporating learning into play and more effectively channeling a dog’s natural drives. John’s work with Chaser offers a fresh perspective on what’s possible in the relationship between a dog and a human. His story points us toward a new way of relating to our canine companions that takes into account our evolving understanding of the way animals and humans learn.

The Earth-Moon System as a Dynamical Laboratory
Author: Elisa Maria Alessi
Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2889630447
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
The Earth-Moon neighborhood is the scene of a large variety of applications that concern asteroids, lunar exploration and space debris in Earth orbit. In particular, recent efforts by the scientific community have focused on the possibility of extending the human operations beyond the radiation belts; of exploiting in-situ resources, either on the lunar surface or on asteroids retrieved to the vicinity of the Earth; and of mitigating the space debris concern by taking advantage of the lunar perturbation. The characteristic dynamics in the cislunar space represents an opportunity for the mission designer, but also a challenge in terms of theoretical understanding and operational control. This Research Topic covers the Earth-Moon dynamics in its complexity and allure, considering the most relevant aspects for both natural and artificial objects, in order to get a new comprehension of the dynamics at stake along with the operational procedures that can handle it.
