The Mystery of the Golden Card

release date: Jan 01, 2013
The Mystery of the Golden Card
Can twins Jack and Jaide find the mysterious Golden Card of Translocation and make it out of Rourke Castle alive? When eccentric Young Master Rourke dies in suspicious circumstances, troubletwisters Jack and Jaide are sent on a mission by their father to retrieve a lost Golden Card from somewhere within the vast Rourke estate. But secret agents for The Evil are also in pursuit of the card, and the troubletwister twins know that whoever finds it first will gain access to a Gift more powerful or terrible than any other. Together they negotiate secret passages, talking parrots and animated suits of armour, while trying to control their own fledgling Gifts. It rapidly becomes impossible to know who to trust and who might be an agent - even among those closest to them.

Éternité

release date: Dec 03, 2012
Éternité
Si la vitesse de la lumière constitue une barrière infranchissable, il est fort possible que les immenses distances qui séparent les étoiles et autres contraintes physiques, biologiques et psychologiques rendront impraticables les voyages interstellaires par des êtres en chair et en os. Dans cette nouvelle, l''auteur envisage une autre solution : l''envoi des versions numérisées de personnalités humaines capables de survivre pendant des décennies pour arriver à destination. Ces « engrammes », stockés dans des unités informatiques à bord des sondes relativement petites, passent le temps du parcours dans des environnements virtuels. Malheureusement, suite à une collision avec un grain de poussière à haute vitesse, l''une de ces sondes se retrouve avec le moteur en panne, sur un mauvais cap et coupé de tout contact avec la Terre. Mais la pire menace à laquelle les membres de l''équipage doivent faire face est logée au coeur même de leur programmation : l''ennui existentiel. Une ébauche intéressante d''une idée que Sean Williams a développé par la suite avec Shane Dix dans leur trilogie, Les Orphelins de la Terre.

Kaostvillinger (bind 2)
Siden tvillingeparret Jack og Jaide Shield flyttede til Portland, er der sket mange mærkelige ting for dem. Tvillingerne har opdaget deres egne magiske kræfter – og har set, hvor grueligt galt det kan gå, når de bruger dem. De har mødt katte, der kan tale, og mennesker med dybe, mørke hemmeligheder. Og de har indledt deres kamp mod en dødelig kraft, bedre kendt som Ondskaben. Men Jack og Jaide har ikke mødt Portlands særeste indbygger endnu. Det er et væsen, som kun kommer frem om natten, et uhyre, som overgår enhver menneskelig fantasi. Jaide og Jack har aldrig set det før ... men det kommer de til nu. Og når de gør, lurer ødelæggelse og ulykke lige i nærheden. Bogen udkom første gang i 2011 og er anden del af historien om Jaide og Jack.

Kaostvillinger (bind 1)
"”Der er noget på vej op af havet,” advarede han sin søster. ”Noget rigtig stort.” Jaide så ud. Til at starte med kunne hun ikke se noget, men så kom strålen fra fyrtårnet fejende forbi og oplyste kortvarigt en enorm, monstrøs form, der var ved at trække sig selv op af det frådende hav for at komme op ad klippen. Tredive meter lange tentakler blev fulgt af en enorm oval krop på størrelse med en fisketrawler." Tvillingeparret Jack og Jaide er to helt almindelige børn i en helt almindelig forstad. Da deres far en dag vender hjem fra en af sine mange forretningsrejser, rører de ved et tilfælde en mystisk genstand i hans kuffert. Pludselig er der noget efter dem. Noget ondt. Og fra den dag er intet, som det var engang. Børnene er nødt til at flytte hjem til deres mystiske bedstemor i den lille kystby Portland. Her går det op for dem, at de ikke er som alle andre. Deres familie tilhører en hemmelig orden, der beskytter vores verden mod en ældgammel ondskab, og de to tvillinger besidder utæmmede magiske kræfter. Dem får de brug for nu, for ondskaben er fulgt efter dem til den lille by. "Kaostvillinger" udkom oprindeligt i 2011.

The Dynamics of Leverage
Are we pre-wired with the ability to influence outcomes around us or is this gift learned? Why do some advance quickly in their career or get their small business off to a great start and some don''t? Why do some build lasting relationships and others start to lower their standards?Most people would agree the power of influence is both in our DNA and learned over time with experience and wisdom. In addition, some may add that success is often driven by leveraging trusting relationships; both the relationships you hopefully have cultivated with ease, as well as, those which forced you to learn valuable lessons. Regardless of how we get there, our ability to influence the outcomes of relationships is paramount. Some of us maintain excellent relationships with our inner circle while struggling to connect with those who don''t act or look like us. Some of us figured out leadership, however, still struggle with life. Either way, "The Dynamics of Leverage" explores the people around us who we aim to influence. Whether our manager in the office or our children at home. It also taps into who you are, your Personal Negotiation Style, Six Dynamic of Influence, and Influence Techniques you may leverage in leadership and life. Just when you think it can''t get any better, "The Dynamics of Leverage" introduces 12 Rules for your leadership quest, your ultimate quality of life, and from time to time a decent lunch. Sparked by a six-year Influential Leverage study originally aimed at Corporate Professionals, "The Dynamics of Leverage touches a wide audience of people just looking for better outcomes in their relationship with colleagues, clients, family, and friends.

Millimeter and Submillimeter Wavelength Studies of Nitric Acid's Nu 6, Nu 7 and Nu 8

release date: Sep 01, 1997
Millimeter and Submillimeter Wavelength Studies of Nitric Acid's Nu 6, Nu 7 and Nu 8
Millimeter and submillimeter-wave studies have been performed on the HNO3 molecule by means of a FAst Scan Submillimeter Spectroscopic Technique (FASSST). An ISTOK OB-30 BWO was used to take fast scans of the region 245-370 GHz. Over 500 spectral lines due to rotational transitions have been assigned for the HNO3 or nitric acid in the nu6, nu7, and nu8, vibrational states. A watson S- and A- reduced Hamiltonian and non-linear least squares fitting procedures were used in the analysis of the measured HNO3 lines. The rotational constants and rms deviations for each vibrational mode are reported.
