Book Description
The Role of Lightning in Evolution is the fifth book of poetry from Aurora Award winner David Clink, and his first book-length collection of speculative poetry since 2010’s Monster. This is speculative poetry at its best. Found in these pages are award winners and finalists: “A Sea Monster Tells His Story,” “The Perfect Library,” “A City of Buried Rivers,” and “The Machine.” Every poem goes beyond monsters and time travel and post-apocalyptic visions. There is heart here, a love of family (no matter how strange that family may be), ghosts, a seance, shapeshifters, a dragon made of words, an insect caught between dimensions, and a road that can feel your every footfall. Every poem is a journey beyond, a slice of another reality that lets us see our own existence in a different way.

Book Description
Laugh, weep, and fall in love with Dr. Anastasia West and Cosmology 101. Along with Kit, Zelma, Henri, Ned and Janet, you will learn how contemporary science and timeless spiritual traditions converge to create the "10 Powers of Evolution." The 10 Powers of Evolution constitutes a paradigm by which individual and social consciousness can and does evolve. For some, this life-altering knowledge brings exaltation. For others, it brings despair. What about you? How will your life be impacted? How will you use the 10 Powers to bring about personal change? Enter into The Lightning Papers. Prepare to be captivated by great storytelling. Prepare to expand exponentially by learning state-of-the art science. Journey into a mad love affair with Anastasia West. You will be thunder-struck into the greatest transformation of your life -- which is the great transformation of the human species."The Lightning Papers is the rarest of books -- a vision of the whole universe written for the whole person, body-mind-spirit-heart. The Lightning Papers is beyond category. It is both fiction and non-fiction, both a work of science and a work of spirituality. Read it thoroughly and you will find yourself soaring beyond the standard categories of modern consciousness." Brian Swimme, Mathematical Cosmologist, author of The Universe is a Green Dragon "The Lightning Papers is the brilliant new work of Pamela Eakins. Intelligent. Riveting. Sensuous. Compelling. Masterfully interwoven. A 'must-read' for anyone interested in new thought and the new cosmology." Bernard Haisch, Astrophysicist, author of The God Theory"Accessible and engaging, this pioneering work manages to appeal to scientists and mystics alike. Savor this book -- it will transform you!"Judy Kitt, President, Foundation for Mind-Being Research

Book Description
Electrical processes take place in all planetary atmospheres. There is evidence for lightning on Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, it is possible on Mars and Titan, and cosmic rays ionise every atmosphere, leading to charged droplets and particles. Controversy surrounds the role of atmospheric electricity in physical climate processes on Earth; here, a comparative approach is employed to review the role of electrification in the atmospheres of other planets and their moons. This book reviews the theory, and, where available, measurements, of planetary atmospheric electricity, taken to include ion production and ion-aerosol interactions. The conditions necessary for a global atmospheric electric circuit similar to Earth’s, and the likelihood of meeting these conditions in other planetary atmospheres, are briefly discussed. Atmospheric electrification is more important at planets receiving little solar radiation, increasing the relative significance of electrical forces. Nucleation onto atmospheric ions has been predicted to affect the evolution and lifetime of haze layers on Titan, Neptune and Triton. For planets closer to Earth, heating from solar radiation dominates atmospheric circulations. Mars may have a global circuit analogous to the terrestrial model, but based on electrical discharges from dust storms, and Titan may have a similar global circuit, based on transfer of charged raindrops. There is an increasing need for direct measurements of planetary atmospheric electrification, in particular on Mars, to assess the risk for future unmanned and manned missions. Theoretical understanding could be increased by cross-disciplinary work to modify and update models and parameterisations initially developed for a specific atmosphere, to make them more broadly applicable to other planetary atmospheres. The possibility of electrical processes in the atmospheres of exoplanets is also discussed.

Book Description
This unique book provides the reader with a thorough background in almost every aspect of lightning and its impact on electrical and electronic equipment. The contents range from basic discharge processes in air through transient electromagnetic field generation and interaction with overhead lines and underground cables, to lightning protection and testing techniques. This book is of value to anyone designing, installing or commissioning equipment which needs to be secured against lightning strikes, as well as being a sound introduction to research students working in the field.

Book Description
In this groundbreaking book, Adrian Bejan takes the recurring patterns in nature—trees, tributaries, air passages, neural networks, and lightning bolts—and reveals how a single principle of physics, the constructal law, accounts for the evolution of these and many other designs in our world. Everything—from biological life to inanimate systems—generates shape and structure and evolves in a sequence of ever-improving designs in order to facilitate flow. River basins, cardiovascular systems, and bolts of lightning are very efficient flow systems to move a current—of water, blood, or electricity. Likewise, the more complex architecture of animals evolve to cover greater distance per unit of useful energy, or increase their flow across the land. Such designs also appear in human organizations, like the hierarchical “flowcharts” or reporting structures in corporations and political bodies. All are governed by the same principle, known as the constructal law, and configure and reconfigure themselves over time to flow more efficiently. Written in an easy style that achieves clarity without sacrificing complexity, Design in Nature is a paradigm-shifting book that will fundamentally transform our understanding of the world around us.
