Book Description
The first full-length biography of a brilliant, self-taught inventor whose innovations in information and energy technology continue to shape our world. The Economist called Stanford R. Ovshinsky (1922–2012) “the Edison of our age,” but this apt comparison doesn't capture the full range of his achievements. As an independent, self-educated inventor, Ovshinsky not only created many important devices but also made fundamental discoveries in materials science. This book offers the first full-length biography of a visionary whose energy and information innovations continue to fuel our post-industrial economy. In The Man Who Saw Tomorrow, Lillian Hoddeson and Peter Garrett tell the story of an unconventional genius with no formal education beyond high school who invented, among other things, the rechargeable nickel metal hydride batteries that have powered everything from portable electronics to hybrid cars, a system for mass-producing affordable thin-film solar panels, and rewritable CDs and DVDs. His most important discovery, the Ovshinsky effect, led to a paradigm shift in condensed matter physics and yielded phase-change memory, which is now enabling new advances in microelectronics. A son of the working class who began as a machinist and toolmaker, Ovshinsky focused his work on finding solutions to urgent social problems, and to pursue those goals, he founded Energy Conversion Devices, a unique research and development lab. At the end of his life, battered by personal and professional losses, Ovshinsky nevertheless kept working to combat global warming by making solar energy “cheaper than coal”—another of his many visions of a better tomorrow.

Book Description
Fox News is Robert's TV news channel; Rush Limbaugh is his radio station news. Those are the only two stations that tell the truth. Robert's short stories give him something to do. After writing two books, Madam President and Madam President 2, he decided to write some short stories. This is one of three books. Three books are complete, and he is still working on the fourth book. He hopes to put twenty-one stories in that book also. Living alone gets boring and lonely. He writes to kill the boredom. Some stories will make you laugh; others will have you crying. Robert is on his third keyboard. The first two are soaked in tears and shorted out. Happy tears and some from sad stories. Humor is the best medicine. He tries to get as much as he can in each story.

Book Description
In his previous life, Luodan chose the most outstanding combat style, but he became a space pirate before graduating and died young. After dying, he experienced rebirth before choosing a major. This time, he decisively chose the "Trash major" as his "Guardian System." He had thought that he could avoid the male god Mausoleum of Books and save his son from a tragic death, but he didn't expect that at the very beginning ... Ling Ping: "Fight?" Lordaan put: "dozen bai." In the end ... Ling Ping: "Luodan, something happened to my Battle Mecha. Why don't you accompany me for a round of maintenance?" Ling Ping: "Put it on the table, Rolodan. My brain waves and the Mech's AI are linked a little too deeply. Remember to wake me up." Ling Ping: "Luodan put it down, I ..." "F * ck, don't you hate guardians the most?" Ling Ping: "If you can't wake me up, just kiss me." Rhodan said, "... "# $% *% &!" When the hooligans of the 18th region encountered the male god of the empire once again, they discovered that the entire world had become more and more unscientific!
