Book Description
Pedro is an average boy growing up in the big city, but his life is anything but normal. Things are frequently happening to and around him that he can't explain. After his best friend Eric advises him never to repeat what he knows for fear of being locked up, he lives in constant confusion and fear. He believes his family is keeping a secret from him but can't figure out what it could possibly be. He also discovers the military has been watching his family and someone or something is also trying to locate where he lives. As far back as Pedro can remember, the only luck he ever has was bad luck. However, on his twenty-first birthday, something is about to happen that will change his life forever. Like it or not, things begin to unravel very quickly. Pedro suddenly finds himself in middle of a war between two separate worlds, and he's forced to make drastic changes. He finds himself doing things he had never imagined he could do or accomplish. All Pedro ever truly wanted is to be normal and see things crystal clear, but as he soon learns, things aren't always as they appear to be.

Book Description
From amethyst to obsidian, Basic Witches author Jaya Saxena explores the multi-faceted meanings and history behind eleven popular crystals in this relatable personal essay collection. Highly prized for their beauty, crystals can take the shape of jewelry, household objects, and an array of self-care products. But it’s the ideas they stand for that draw people to their raw forms. Like astrology, tarot, and modern witchcraft, crystals help practitioners understand themselves and the wider world around them. In this collection of sharply observed essays, Jaya Saxena reflects on—and challenges—the ideas associated with eleven popular stones, including unconditional love (rose quartz), happiness and success (citrine), balance (amethyst), self-care (black tourmaline), purity (pearl), imposter syndrome (pyrite), toxic positivity (carnelian), change (opals), traditional concepts of marriage (diamonds), presentation versus identity (obsidian), and death (amber). The result is a deeply personal book with universal appeal, exploring how we assign meaning and power to crystals in order to give meaning and power to our lives.

Book Description

Therefore, it is sometimes best to open our hearts and eyes to other people's lives that we might gain insight through their achievements and failures. By doing so, we may benefit by accelerating the learning process toward self-fulfillment. Within these pages are events from life that you possibly have yet to witness. This poetry is for your self-enlightenment and inspiration. More importantly, it might help you find peace and happiness, and realize where your life is going now. I hope this poetry will help you gain knowledge into what might emerge in your future, and possibly wisdom, so that you might be prepared.

Book Description
Quartz crystal-a technology that changed the tide of World War II Some of the defining leaps in technology in the twentieth century occurred during the Second World War, from radar to nuclear energy. Often left out of historical discussions are quartz crystals, which proved to be just as pivotal to the Allied victory-and to post-war development-as other technologies. Quartz crystals provided the U.S. military, for the first time, with reliable communication on the front lines, and then went on to become the core of some of the most basic devices of the post-war era, from watches, clocks, and color televisions, to cell phones and computers. In Crystal Clear, Richard Thompson relates the story of the quartz crystal in World War II, from its early days as a curiosity for amateur radio enthusiasts, to its use by the United States Armed Forces. It follows the intrepid group of scientists and engineers from the Office of the Chief Signal Officer of the U.S. Army as they raced to create an effective quartz crystal unit. They had to find a reliable supply of radio-quality quartz; devise methods to reach, mine, and transport the quartz; find a way to manufacture quartz crystal oscillators rapidly; and then solve the puzzling "aging problem" that plagued the early units. Ultimately, the development of quartz oscillators became the second largest scientific undertaking in World War II after the Manhattan Project. Bringing to light a little-known aspect of World War II, Crystal Clear offers a glimpse inside one of the most significant efforts in the annals of engineering.
