How to Gaze at the Southern Stars by Richard Hall Pdf

Fifty thousand years ago, a small family of our ancestors huddled around a campfire. Robbed of vision, they were vulnerable in the darkness; the night is the time of the predator. As they listened to the crackle of the fire and the sounds of the night, they looked upwards. What, they wondered, were those mysterious lights in the sky? So begins astronomer Richard Hall's engrossing account of the stars as seen from Down Under! Today scientists know a great deal about the universe we live in. Photos have even been taken of the planet Mars, 35 million miles away. But for most people it's all still a mystery.

Astronomy Adventures and Vacations by Timothy Treadwell Pdf

This astronomy travel guide examines the many wonderful opportunities for experiencing the observing hobby. Amateur astronomy is often consigned to observing from home or from a local park, yet it can be much more. Tim Treadwell explores all the possibilities of astronomical and space-related activities that are available on day trips and longer vacations. These activities range from observatory visits and other simple ways to build an astronomy event into a holiday, to full blown specialized astronomy travel. Many trips give the opportunity to visit some of the world’s famous attractions. On most vacations it can be a matter of just taking a day (or night) out of your schedule to fit in an astronomy event, but larger, dedicated pilgrimages are also possible. How to make the most of astronomy potential on a holiday, whether observing on the beach in Hawaii with the Telescope Guy or visiting Star City in Russia, is covered in detail. Go to a star party, explore the national parks or see the northern lights! There are a wide variety of activities for all budgets described in this book.

Souls of the Southern Stars by Johnny S. Geddes Pdf

Ed Williams has had enough. He's lost his wife, his IT job and his ability to sleep. He knows he must drive south to learn why his mind is quaking with the hum of a hundred voices. He does not know that he's the latest inheritor of the souls of Civil War cavalrymen ambushed en route to a fort in New Mexico and which were freed from the cursed earth by a road repair gang. Nor does Ed know that the closer he gets to Tucumcari, New Mexico, the more energy the mummified remains of the cavalrymen will receive as their lost spirits demand the bodies rise up to kill... And kill... And kill...

Astronomy for Older Eyes by James L. Chen Pdf

This book is for the aging amateur astronomy population, including newcomers to astronomy in their retirement and hobbyists who loved peering through a telescope as a child. Whether a novice or an experienced observer, the practice of astronomy differs over the years. This guide will extend the enjoyment of astronomy well into the Golden Years by addressing topics such as eye and overall health issues, recommendations on telescope equipment, and astronomy-related social activities especially suited for seniors. Many Baby-Boomers reaching retirement age are seeking new activities, and amateur astronomy is a perfect fit as a leisure time activity. Established backyard astronomers who began their love of astronomy in their youth, meanwhile, may face many physical and mental challenges in continuing their lifelong hobby as they age beyond their 55th birthdays. That perfect telescope purchased when they were thirty years old now suddenly at sixty years old feels like an immovable object in the living room. The 20/20 eyesight has given way to reading glasses or bifocals. Treasured eyepieces feel all wrong. Growing old is a natural process of life, but astronomy is timeless. With a little knowledge and some lifestyle adjustments, older astronomers can still enjoy backyard observing well into their seventies, eighties and even into their nineties.

The Southern Yankee by L. T. Sanders Pdf

Lieutenant Jason Bennet lived through the Civil War, but wounded at the Battle of Five Forks, he didn't see its end. He wakes in a Washington D. C. hospital with no memory and is driven by the need to find home and family. Boarding the riverboat in Cincinnati, he saves old Cyrus Beauregard from murder. From their fiery first encounter in Cincinnati, a warrior's bond develops. In Memphis Jason finds the Union Army occupying his home, with no sign of family or connection to his past. Putting his disappointment aside he re-joins Cyrus on his riverboat. Jason gradually discovers in himself a heightened sense of perception which both helps and haunts, endearing him to Cyrus and his strange crew. Deception forms the line between Cyrus and his group of Texas ranchers on one side and the crooked provisional government on the other. With fists and guns Jason fights for the future of all who survive.
