Book Description
Excerpt from Fuel of Fire "First by the King, and then by the State, And thirdly by that which is thrice as great As these, and a thousandfold stronger and higher, Shall Baxendale Hall be made fuel of fire." It fell upon a day (so the ancient chronicles tell us) - before men had discovered that Mershire was a land whose stones were of iron and her foundations of coal - that Guy, the eldest son of Sir Stephen de Baxendale, went out hunting in the merry greenwood which lay between Baxendale Hall and Silverhampton town. And because Guy was too young to take such heed to his own steps and the steps of his steed as an older and wiser huntsman would have done, the horse put his foot into a rabbit-hole, thereby bringing himself and his rider to the ground. In much fear and trembling the retainers picked up the unconscious form of their young master and bore him to Gorsty Hayes, a forester's lodge in the heart of the wood, which is still standing to this day. There he was nursed back to consciousness by Vivien of the Glade, the forester's fair daughter, much famed in those parts for her skill in discovering healing herbs, and distilling soothing potions from the same.

Book Description
Excerpt from Fuel, Vol. 2: Solid, Liquid and Gaseous With the exception of natural oils, the origin of which still remains uncertain, all forms of fuel may be regarded as derived primarily from cellulose, often associated with materials of a gum or resin character. During the life of a plant the green colouring matter of the leaves has the power, under the influence of sunlight, of causing combination between the carbon dioxide of the air and the water in the plant to produce ultimately the cellulose, which is the main con stituent of woody fibre, returning to the air the oxygen previously associated with the carbon dioxide. The wonderful mechanism by which these Vital changes are brought about is quite unknown, but the final result is threefold - the amount of carbon dioxide is pre vented from becoming excessive, which would be fatal to animal life, the renewal of the oxygen supplies is assured, and, what is of special importance since the change involves the absorption of radiant energy from the sun, available heat is stored up by the plant, which may be utilized afterwards by man for the thousand and one purposes for which he requires fuel. Cellulose, in the form of wood; peat, where the cellulose has under gone some slight metamorphosis lignite, brown coal, and finally, all the various kinds of coal, from highly bituminous to anthracite, certainly have derived their heat energy by this process, and whether we employ these cellulose derivatives in their natural form or convert them into forms more suitable than the original for special purposes, such as charcoal and coke, or employ them as liquids (tar) and gases, as is now such general practice, we are but recovering this energy stored up from the sun.

Book Description
In Karl Schroeder's sci-fi thriller, Hayden Griffin has come to the city of Rush with one thing in mind: to take murderous revenge for his parents' deaths. It is the distant future. The world known as Virga is a fullerene balloon three thousand kilometers in diameter, filled with air, water, and aimlessly floating chunks of rock. The humans who live in this vast environment must build their own fusion suns and "towns" that are in the shape of enormous wood and rope wheels that are spun for gravity. Young, fit, bitter, and friendless, Hayden Griffin is a very dangerous man. He's come to the city of Rush in the nation of Slipstream with one thing in mind: to take murderous revenge for the deaths of his parents six years ago. His target is Admiral Chaison Fanning, head of the fleet of Slipstream, which conquered Hayden's nation of Aerie years ago. And the fact that Hayden's spent his adolescence living with pirates doesn't bode well for Fanning's chances . . . At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book Description
Excerpt from Candles in the Sun At The Door Here at the door are beacon fires to build, Dreams to be dreamt, and voices - voices stilled As Eden darkly was ere the first bird In the ancestral silences was heard. And here are songs, midway in homing flight, That hover on frail pinions and alight Softly, less audibly than is the quake Of spirits tremulous, or hearts that break, Here at the door. Here at the door are many messages Of cheer and lurking faith - a folded kiss, A sealed desire, a sigh, a memory Of things that were as rainfall on the sea. Thronging are shapes and shadows near at hand Cast by the moon upon an April land. And in the air are rumors and the stir Of meetings and long partings to occur, Here at the door.

Book Description
Excerpt from Arrayed With the Sun This Revelation Of Truth through John did not find either his ear or his heart absent turned - from the Christ. He was indeed a Blessed John, a Divine John, when all personality was swept from his consciousness, leaving for him but the house empty, swept, and gar nished, since he was then fully cognizant Of the lesson which his own experience alone had taught him. He had not only heard the Word, but he had also lived it, and was now declaring to others, by means Of symbols, the Story of Life as it re vealed itself through him. This Story, in order to express itself directly, should be quickly told, and he therefore aptly chose from the signs, which man himself Offered him, those which would reveal to man the One Sign Of Heaven, God, the Creative Principle, Which he, John, termed Woman. As typical of characteristics, representing nations as well as qualities, Wom an had served as a Judaic symbol. Doubtless for this reason John employed that term to which his own race Was accustomed when he selected Woman as the Symbol Of the Creative Power. Nevertheless, this same sign had Often reversed the meaning Of Life with his people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
This newly reissued debut book in the Rutgers University Press Classics Imprint is the story of the search for a rocket propellant which could be trusted to take man into space. This search was a hazardous enterprise carried out by rival labs who worked against the known laws of nature, with no guarantee of success or safety. Acclaimed scientist and sci-fi author John Drury Clark writes with irreverent and eyewitness immediacy about the development of the explosive fuels strong enough to negate the relentless restraints of gravity. The resulting volume is as much a memoir as a work of history, sharing a behind-the-scenes view of an enterprise which eventually took men to the moon, missiles to the planets, and satellites to outer space. A classic work in the history of science, and described as “a good book on rocket stuff…that’s a really fun one” by SpaceX founder Elon Musk, readers will want to get their hands on this influential classic, available for the first time in decades.
