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.

Magnetospheric Imaging: Understanding the Space Environment through
Global Measurements is a state-of-the-art resource on new and
advanced techniques and technologies used in measuring and
examining the space environment on a global scale. Chapters detail
this emergent field by exploring optical imaging, ultraviolet
imaging, energetic neutral atom imaging, X-ray imaging, radio
frequency imaging, and magnetic field imaging. Each technique is
clearly described, with details about the technologies involved,
how they work, and both their opportunities and limitations.
Magnetospheric imaging is still a relatively young capability in
magnetospheric research, hence this book is an ideal resource on
this burgeoning field of study. This book is a comprehensive
resource for understanding where the field stands, as well as
providing a stepping stone for continued advancement of the field,
from developing new techniques, to applying techniques on other
planetary bodies.
