Book Description
The Great Valley has only known peace for millennia. The land is shared between four races: the humans, the winged helioses, the short but skilled enans, and the gigantic shikkans. But harmony is broken when strange rock monoliths start appearing all over the land, granting extraordinary powers to whoever touches them. The shikkans, though once willing to share it all, suddenly march to war in a bid to take control of all the regions where the monoliths have appeared. It seems nothing can prevent the fall of the remaining three races—until the teenage children of the helios king find an unusual connection with the monoliths. The king’s children, two helioses and two humans, begin to discover their role in a conflict that’s threatening to destroy the Great Valley, their world contained and surrounded by the everlasting barrier known as the Endless Wall.

Rainbows and Rain
Author: Peggy Waterfall
Publisher: BookSurge, LLC
ISBN: 9781419611254
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
Grief and loss are universal experiences which are shared by all but rarely discussed openly. As a result, many of us feel alone and isolated when we are in the grip of the crushing emotions that accompany the death of someone we love. Nothing prepares us for the barrage of bewildering behaviors, thoughts and reactions that so often follow a loss. When author Peggy Waterfall watched both parents and her life partner die within one year, she emerged with a unique perspective on the timeless experience of grief and loss. In Rainbows and Rain: Finding Comfort in Times of Loss, we learn that it is possible to find joy again, but we must first learn to grieve. We also learn that we are often unable to express to others what we are experiencing and can find ourselves at a loss to adequately convey our feelings. We want desperately to find the right words so that we can explain our strange behavior to our families, our co-workers, our friends. This book helps us to understand the importance of being patient with ourselves and is the first step in healing.

Essense of Nature
Author: Rangel Kolessin
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 130044665X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
This book proposes solutions to the majority of the unsolved problems in Physics and Cosmology. These solutions follow naturally from a new concept for the structures of the matter and the Universe, also introduced in the book. The abundance of unsolved problems is largely due to the wrong direction Physics took after the so called "revolution" at the beginning of 20th century. The new concept reinstates the existence of Ether as the fundament of Matter and the Universe. This concept explains the nature of light, the wavy nature of the matter particles, their mass increase with time, the nature of gravity, the accelerated expansion of the Universe, the bulb-like structure of the Universe, the growing entropy, and so on. The real structure of the elementary particles easily explains the nature of strong interaction and helps establish the natural structure of atomic nucleus, as coaxially-arranged, flat, disc-like nucleons. This structure is in full agreement with the Laws of Physics.
