First contact may be our last. On a dark world far from our home, an epic war started a chain reaction, sending two alien races on a collision course with Earth. Secret battles wage on our soil, brewing a war that could change the face of humanity forever. If we can't prevent an alien armageddon, we'll find ourselves fighting forces with technology thousands of years more advanced than ours. A new twist on alien first contact told in three parts. COLLISION Sienna Wolfe's life changes when a strange craft crashes near her cabin, and she finds herself in the middle of a bitter battle between two warring alien races, the likes of which could wipe out mankind. As she races to align her new allies with the U.S. military, she may soon learn that her new friends may not be as noble as they seem. Can Sienna prevent an interstellar war from claiming Earth, or will she become the harbinger of an alien apocalypse? IMPLOSION As Sephian forces peck at the Draeken defenses, we soon learn that things are never as simple as right and wrong. Draeken Commander Roden Zyll has spilled plenty of blood in his time, and he cares little for humans. But when he realizes his leader’s plan could lead to his people’s extinction, he plans a coup. Only one problem: he has to work with the Sephians to succeed. If he fails, every Earth nation will be yanked into a war that no one has a chance of winning. EXPLOSION When a deadly virus is released across the planet, all aliens are quickly blamed. When a mass execution is planned, Captain Jax Jerrick becomes a traitor to the military in order to save the Sephians and the Draeken. After bloody battle, he escapes and joins the resistance committed to holding off the world's military forces while searching for an antivirus. With enemies coming at them from everywhere, can the resistance stop the war before humanity becomes extinct?

Based on the author's popular course at UCLA, this unique text is the first to introduce the non-science major to a basic understanding of how the physical environment surrounding us functions, and why human activities are affecting it, while simultaneously providing sufficient supportingdetails to hold the interest of science majors. Written for undergraduates, it details the fundamental scientific concepts underlying the nature and scope of atmospheric environmental problems. Key air pollution issues are expertly addressed in terms of their local, regional, and globalimplications. In his survey of local and regional issues, the author identifies the sources and effects of major pollutants and discusses the many ways people are exposed to environmental toxins. Global environmental issues such as stratospheric ozone depletion, global climate change, and greenhousewarming are treated as well, along with the potential for "global environmental engineering." The text provides a wealth of illustrative examples and problems that test students' comprehension of the material and challenge their creative and deductive approaches to all environmental problems. Anappendix provides a helpful primer to the basic mathematics used throughout the book. Enjoyable, stimulating, and comprehensive, this text is an ideal introduction to environmental sciences for students in the earth and atmospheric sciences, geography, engineering, environmental management and law,and life sciences.

“Fascinating . . . memorable . . . revealing . . . perhaps the best of Carl Sagan’s books.”—The Washington Post Book World (front page review) In Cosmos, the late astronomer Carl Sagan cast his gaze over the magnificent mystery of the Universe and made it accessible to millions of people around the world. Now in this stunning sequel, Carl Sagan completes his revolutionary journey through space and time. Future generations will look back on our epoch as the time when the human race finally broke into a radically new frontier—space. In Pale Blue Dot, Sagan traces the spellbinding history of our launch into the cosmos and assesses the future that looms before us as we move out into our own solar system and on to distant galaxies beyond. The exploration and eventual settlement of other worlds is neither a fantasy nor luxury, insists Sagan, but rather a necessary condition for the survival of the human race. “Takes readers far beyond Cosmos . . . Sagan sees humanity’s future in the stars.”—Chicago Tribune

The human race as a whole is under spiritual siege and constant attack from an enemy that keeps himself well disguised. This volume is presented to help humanity see and recognize the destructive devices of this enemy. When this book was first conceived, the idea was to alert those who were unaware of the reality of God, the creator of mankind, to the very real danger that they faced by not having an awareness of God or a relationship with Him. As the writing progressed, I realized that most of humanity is unaware of many of the devices being used for their destruction. It has been said that knowledge is the first step to avoiding problems. Reliable knowledge is truly one of our greatest weapons against the enemy who desires our demise.What have you heard about Truth? Has someone told you that truth is only a relative concept? Have there been questions in your mind regarding things proclaimed as truth? In this book Absolute Truth, author J.D. Richardson delves into these questions and sites authoritative, historical, and rational answers that will dispel the mystery and darkness surrounding the concepts and ideas of definite and absolute truth.
