Casina's friend Steve tells her there are hidden Portals, or entrances, at the City's shops that will transport her to another Place and Time. If she agrees to take up the challenge, he will give her clues as to what she must do to put things right. Testing this, Casina discovers a dark and empty Dr Who shop. She steps closer, the air begins to shimmer and Casina finds herself hurtling through Space no less. Coming to a halt, she hears a humming sound and soon she is witnessing the birth of a New Planet.Further adventures follow such as visiting the Garden of Eden and the Great Pyramids of Egypt, which Casina had always wanted to see.

Optics of the Moon presents methods for interpreting optics of surfaces on the Moon with complicated structures. For example, the book illustrates how phase-ratio techniques can lead to the detection of surface structure anomalies, describes polarimetric studies of the lunar surface and their use, and addresses many other questions relating to the regolith-like surfaces of the Moon, such as why the Moon looks like a ball at a large phase angle and like a disk in full moon, why the lunar surface has slight color variations, and why at large phase angles its polarization degree closely correlates with albedo.

Sky Guide Southern Africa is a practical resource for all stargazers, whether novice, amateur or professional. This annual guide highlights the cosmic events for each month of the upcoming year, including planetary movements, predicted eclipses and meteor showers. Star charts plot the evening sky for each season, facilitating the identification of stars and constellations. The guide contains a wealth of information about the Sun, Moon, planets, comets, meteors and bright stars, and includes photos, diagrams, charts and images.

Stonehenge was not an observatory used by druidical astronomer-priests. It was, instead, a monument in which the moon and the sun and the dead were joined together. In this book the author explains how people in the British Isles, four thousand or more years ago, identified life and death with the cycle of midwinter and midsummer and with the risings and settings of the sun and moon. This is why so many megalithic monuments have astronomical sightlines built into them. This book describes how astronomical customs developed in the British Isles. Unlike other works about 'megalithic astronomy' technical explanations about azimuths and declinations are kept to their simplest. The emphasis here is upon people rather than pertrubations and eclipses.

This third volume of the new ASME Press Book Series on Renewable Energy also edited by Dr. Rao and published by ASME Press is based on updated chapters from the classic 2011 Handbook of Energy and Power Generation in addition to a new chapter appropriate for the title of this book. The discussions in this book update Wind Energy since the publication of 2011 Handbook by Dr. Rao in Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4. Since the coverage in the 2011 Handbook is considered applicable even for the present it is retained in total with the contributions for original authors for Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4 an update for Chapter 6, 7, 8 and 9 of the 2011 Handbook. Chapter 1 covers "NASA Developments and Potential"; Chapter 2 addresses "Scope of Wind Energy Generation Technologies since 2011"; and Chapter 3 "Scope of Wind Energy in the US since 2011; and Chapter 4 "Wind Energy in the Netherlands Since 2011". Chapter 5, an update of Chapter 10 of the 2011 Handbook is titled as before in the 2011 Handbook, "Role of Wind Energy Technology in India and Neighboring Countries" by original author M.P. Ramesh and finally the last Chapter 6 is a new Chapter "Artificial Intelligence in Wind Energy" by Dr. Weifei Hu. The book contains over 200 pages with 28 tables, 143 figures, 379 footnotes and over 102 additional references in this updated version. The book has an index as before in the original edition, to help users easily navigate through the text and graphics.
