Book Description
The Otherland Chronicles Collection: Book One A collection of the first three episodes of The OtherLand Chronicles: Mirror, Echo, and Blaze. Mirror 17-year-old Alia, a street-smart recent Brooklynite, is disdainful of the warnings to stay in after dark in her new suburban neighborhood. What could possibly be lurking in the tidy greenways between the upscale houses? And yet, it's hard to ignore that something odd is going on here. Strangers keep mistaking her for a girl named Mikhaila, a girl who has mysteriously disappeared. The bodies of four other girls have been found, untouched, but undeniably dead. And at twilight, she meets the enigmatic and disconcerting Bartholomew, a boy who has secrets and burdens he cannot share. The animals are acting oddly, the suburbs are crawling with danger, and everything seems to come back to Bartholomew and a group of recent immigrants with unusual customs, including being forbidden to mix romantically with the locals. When Bartholomew asks Alia to stand in for the missing Mikhaila, she's drawn against her will into a hidden and compelling world where her heart --and her very life --are at extreme risk. Echo Forbidden and Irresistible 17-year-old Alia, a street-smart recent Brooklynite, was disdainful of the warnings to stay in after dark in her new suburban neighborhood. What could possibly be lurking in the tidy greenways between the upscale houses? But girls are showing up dead of mysterious causes, and she finds herself being drawn into a hidden and compelling world, with the mysterious Bartholomew at the heart. There is an undeniable, powerful --and forbidden --attraction between Alia and Bartholomew, prompted by music, woven into a kiss. The pair find themselves becoming more and more entwined, and the situation among the Others is growing more unstable. Although she knows she's being drawn too far into the world of the Others, she cannot resist the lure of the GodSong, or Bartholomew, even when she might lose everything, including her life. Blaze The Queen Returns --.. As the Others struggle to find balance among themselves and the people of their new home, Alia struggles to return to the life as she knew it before her masquerade as the mysterious and missing Mikhaila. When Alia's masquerade was uncovered, she and Bartholomew were forced apart, and he endured a brutal punishment. There is one saving grace --Alia's gift for the GodSong might provide a clue for the Others to settle more fully into their new life, and an Elder will continue to teach her the sacred weapon. As school begins, however, Alia discovers that Mikhaila has returned --her lover dead --and she is to be Bound in a horrifying and barbaric way. Alia again provides an answer, this time for the Rogues, who kidnap her with intent to save their Queen. As war breaks out, Alia is forced to take a role she never dreamed of, even as Bartholomew is thrust into even greater responsibility. How can they ever hope to find happiness together?

Book Description
We admire the beautiful bright stars in the dark night up in the sky while we are doing so many wishes; also, we are putting so many connections of our activities with stars and moon, so to write about stars is interesting. With so many interesting information by Astrology awakened my curiosity, I decided to write this fiction book in honor of the beautiful and different big groups of stars that are in the constellation. Stars are shining by thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium. This fusion in its core is releasing energy that traverses in interior of the star and that radiates into outer space. This lay of hydrogen into helium gives some stars different, beautiful colors, like red nebula, blue stars, or purple stars too. Their shining is bright. Because the stars have so much mysteries and different stories connected with religious and galactic navigation, since in older time, and people all around the planet connect the stars and the moon to so many activities and their wishes too, it inspired me to write about stars.

Book Description
Biomedical Signals and Systems is meant to accompany a one-semester undergraduate signals and systems course. It may also serve as a quick-start for graduate students or faculty interested in how signals and systems techniques can be applied to living systems. The biological nature of the examples allows for systems thinking to be applied to electrical, mechanical, fluid, chemical, thermal and even optical systems. Each chapter focuses on a topic from classic signals and systems theory: System block diagrams, mathematical models, transforms, stability, feedback, system response, control, time and frequency analysis and filters. Embedded within each chapter are examples from the biological world, ranging from medical devices to cell and molecular biology. While the focus of the book is on the theory of analog signals and systems, many chapters also introduce the corresponding topics in the digital realm. Although some derivations appear, the focus is on the concepts and how to apply them. Throughout the text, systems vocabulary is introduced which will allow the reader to read more advanced literature and communicate with scientist and engineers. Homework and Matlab simulation exercises are presented at the end of each chapter and challenge readers to not only perform calculations and simulations but also to recognize the real-world signals and systems around them. Table of Contents: Preface / Acknowledgments / Introduction / System Types / System Models / Laplace Transform / Block Diagrams / Stability / Feedback / System Response / Control / Time Domain Analysis / Frequency Domain Analysis / Filters / Author's Biography

Book Description
This gripping narrative explores today's scientific pursuit of immortality, with exclusive visits inside Silicon Valley labs and interviews with the visionaries who believe we will soon crack into the aging process and cure death. We live in an age when billionaires are betting their fortunes on laboratory advances to prove aging unnecessary and death a disease that can be cured. Researchers are delving into the mysteries of stem cells and the human genome, discovering what it means to grow old and how to keep those processes from happening. This isn't science fiction; it's real, it's serious, and it's on track to revolutionize our definitions of life and mortality. In Immortality, Inc., veteran science journalist Chip Walter gains exclusive access to the champions of this radical cause, delivering a book that brings together for the first time the visions of molecular biologist and Apple chairman Arthur Levinson, genomics entrepreneur Craig Venter, futurist Ray Kurzweil, rejuvenation trailblazer Aubrey de Grey, and stem cell expert Robert Hariri. Along the way, Walter weaves in fascinating conversations about life, death, aging, and the future of the human race.
