From two of the greatest imaginations of our time comes a magnificent novel of adventure and magic...SHADOW MOON: First in the Chronicles of the Shadow War. The genius of Star Wars(r) creator George Lucas and the vision of Chris Claremont, the author of the phenomenally bestselling The Uncanny X-Men adventures, merge in what must be the fantasy event of the year. In Shadow Moon, war and chaos have gripped the land of Tir Asleen. An ancient prophecy reveals one hope: a savior princess who will ascend to the throne when the time is right. But first, a Nelwyn wanderer must face forces of unimaginable malevolence and dangerous, forbidden rites of necromancy that could bring back a powerful warrior from soulless sleep. George Lucas reshaped filmmaking in the '70s and '80s with his Star Wars and Indiana Jones films. When Bantam Books asked Lucas if he had any stories he would like to develop as novels rather than as films, Lucas turned to his 1988 fantasy film, Willow. "When I wrote the story for Willow, I began with the pre-story," Lucas said, "but the full story was yet to be told." Now, Lucas's vision is being fulfilled with the talented help of Chris Claremont. Having previously taken the reins of what was for a decade the bestselling comic in the western hemisphere (The Uncanny X-Men) Claremont assumes the reponsibility of foster parent to Lucas's creation. On sale in hardcover now, and available on BDD Audio Cassette as well, SHADOW MOON is a momentous new adventure for readers looking to spend part of this summer in a fantastic world. SHADOW MOON is one of Bantam Spectra's most exciting publishing events in 1995, the year we celebrate our 10th Anniversary as the premiere publishing imprint of books of speculative fiction.
Is Moon Shadow fiction or history in the making?Set in 2012, Moon Shadow depicts the financial collapse and subsequent invasion of the United States. Completed over a decade ago, this story is so close to current events that it seems more historical than a work of fiction. From a terrorist attack using three hijacked airliners to a top-secret spaceplane project dubbed Aurora, both the premise and content of my novel have become reality.Was Mark Halperin right in calling President Barrack Obama a "dick?" Not really. But what if the president were an unintentional traitor? See what happens when Obama destroys American in my novel Moon Shadow.Intended to be a work of fiction only to entertain, author Joe Barfield admits even he is surprised as events in his novel, Moon Shadow, are becoming more historical than fictional with each passing day. Barfield said, Moon Shadow tells the story about the fall of the greatest country in the world—The United States of America. The collapse is not so much from outside forces, but rather from the greed within. I never dreamed how close Moon Shadow would describe events in America and the Mid-East today.Written fourteen years ago, Moon Shadow was updated recently to better describe current events that are quickly changing the world. Reflecting on his novel, Barfield also said, I originally based the collapse of the United States on the greed of American CEOs, the corruption of our leaders, and the collapse of the financial institutions during President George H. Bush’s administration. Now it seems Moon Shadow is closer to depicting the events of President Barrack Obama’s administration. Abraham Linoln said, "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Just a few disturbing things found in Moon Shadow are the use of three hijacked passenger airliners, with one crashing into a football game killing the president. Another war occurs in the Middle East that is very similar to Desert Storm but with a big difference—The United States is defeated. The novel predicted a Democrat would be elected in 2008 and he would destroy America financially with a National Debt near 20 trillion. Where are we today?The author was quoted saying: From the beginning of time every empire has collapsed. There have been no exceptions.Moon Shadow, depicts America's leadership, greed, and corruption as the reasons for the collapse, will get people on both sides of the fence talking. It is an exciting edge-of-your-seat story about a handful of America's best jet pilots desperately trying to take America back after the invasion. Their reluctant leader, Beau Gex, is forced to lead them to safety. Trapped behind enemy lines, this small group of pilots fight against overwhelming odds. They are forced to fly one last deadly mission, where America's future depends on its best pilot, Beau Gex, defeating a technologically advanced F-14 fighter jet at night. But all he has on his side is an antiquated, World War II, P-51 Mustang and an old Indian Legend, Moon Shadow. For the not-faint-at-heart, Moon Shadow begins with one of the edgiest torture scenes since Marathon Man. And for those looking for love mixed in with their adventure, Moon Shadow satisfies as a tender romance between Beau and Krysti Socorro, an exquisite doctor. Will the betrayal of another tear them apart forever? Can a child save their love or is it too late?

From an award-winning author, astronomer, and anthropologist, an exploration of the scientific and cultural significance of the mesmerizing cosmic display. Since the first humans looked up and saw the sun swallowed by darkness, our species has been captivated by solar eclipses. Astronomer and anthropologist Anthony Aveni explains the history and culture surrounding solar eclipses, from prehistoric Stonehenge to Babylonian creation myths, to a confirmation of Einstein’s theory of general relativity, to a spectacle that left New York City in the moon’s shadow, to future eclipses that will capture human imaginations. In one accessible and engaging read, Aveni explains the science behind the phenomenon, tracks eclipses across the ancient world, and examines the roles of solar eclipses in modern times to reveal the profound effects these cosmic events have had on human history. Colored by his own experiences—Aveni has witnessed eight total solar eclipses in his lifetime—his account of astronomy’s most storied phenomenon will enthrall anyone who has looked up at the sky with wonder. “Aveni’s authoritative but accessible text is the clearest statement of the way our perception of eclipses has changed over the centuries.” —Stuart Clark, New Scientist “Authoritative and engaging.” —Marcelo Gleiser, NPR’s 13.7 “A recommended way to share the spirit of the occasion.” —Laurence A. Marschall, Natural History magazine “Everything you need to enjoy a solar eclipse—and even predict one, just like the Babylonians did! Aveni’s entertaining explorations show the very different impacts eclipses have had on past and present cultures.” —David DeVorkin, National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution
A unique blend of traditional folklore and contemporary customs brings the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival to life. Two sisters and their grandmother celebrate a popular Chinese holiday with family. Their favorite part? Mooncakes, of course--along with Ah-ma's story of the ancient Chinese tale of Hou Yi, a brave young archer, and his wife, Chang'E. A long, long time ago, Hou Yi rescued the earth from the heat of ten suns. The Immortals rewarded him with a magic potion that could let him live in the sky with them forever. But when a thief tries to steal the potion, what will Chang'E do to keep it out of dangerous hands? The sisters are mesmerized by Ah-ma's retelling and the fact that the very mooncakes they enjoy each holiday are a symbol of this legend's bravest soul.

Modern Mysteries of the Moon by Vincent S. Foster Pdf
There are still many questions that remain about the Moon, which this book examines. From concentric craters to lunar swirls, water vapor and lunar reverberations on impact, Foster collects it all for a fascinating tour that will illuminate the backyard observer's understanding of this easily viewed, yet also imperfectly understood, celestial object. Data from Apollo and a flotilla of unmanned Moon orbiters, crashers, and landers have all contributed to our understanding of the Moon, but these mysteries linger despite decades of research. When Project Apollo brought back lunar rocks and soil samples, it opened a new chapter of understanding Earth's lone natural satellite, a process that continues to this day, as old results are revisited and new techniques are used on existing samples. Topics such as the origin, evolution, structure and composition of the Moon, however, are still under debate. Lunar research is still an active field of study. New technologies make it possible to continue to learn. But even so, the Moon continues to hold tight to some of its oldest and most cherished secrets. Foster examines many of the most interesting puzzles and what has been revealed by exploring them – as well as what questions remain.
