Human for a Day by Martin H. Greenberg,Jennifer Brozek Pdf

Here's an anthology that examines what it means to be human in all its positive and negative aspects. If you were an intelligent robot, would the opportunity to become human for a day be worth the risks? If a magic spell switched the bodies of a vampire and a teenage girl, would both savor the experience or search for a way to undo the enchantment? What tests would an angel face if transformed into a mortal for a day? These are just a few of the inventive stories-some humorous, some sad, many thought-provoking, and all unique-to be found in Human for a Day.

Weird Universe by David A. J. Seargent Pdf

As new discoveries complicate the scientific picture of the universe, the evolving theories about the nature of space and time and the origins and fate of the universe threaten to become overwhelming. Enter David Seargent. Continuing the author's series of books popularizing strange astronomy facts and knowledge, Weird Universe explains the bizarre, complicated terrain of modern cosmology for lay readers. From exploring some of the strange consequences of the theories of special and general relativity, to probing time dilation and the twin and mother-and-baby “paradoxes” and the theory that the universe can be mathematically considered as a hologram, all of the latest findings and conjectures are clearly described in non-technical language. The development of quantum physics and the more recent developments of string and M-theory are looked at, in addition to several hypotheses that have not won wide acceptance from the scientific community, such as modified gravity. Enter the wonderfully weird world of these theories and gain a new appreciation for the latest findings in cosmological research.

Hubble Bubble by Christina Jones Pdf

Hubble bubble, toil and trouble, casserole burn and intrigues double. Mitzi Blessing is on the scrapheap: forced into a very early retirement, a lifetime of organising the church flower rota and making cricket teas seems to loom gloomily ahead of her. With her two daughters seemingly happily settled, Mitzi is determined not to dwindle quietly into serene old age and sets about organising and revitalising Hazy Hassocks, the small rural community she has lived in all her life. However, with the discovery of her grandmother's cookery book in the attic, life for Mitzi and her friends and family starts to get very interesting. Full of old-fashioned recipes with enchanting names like 'Wishes Come True Pie', 'Mischief Night Cake', and 'Powers of Persuasion Pudding' - Granny's dishes provide a nourishing meal, but they also seem to have some very surprising side effects indeed . . . Praise for Christina Jones: 'Magical' Heat 'Fabulous' The Times 'A wonderful writer' Jill Mansell, author of And Now You're Back 'H. E. Bates for the 21st Century' Katie Fforde 'Christina is simply THE BEST . . . I don't think she is capable of writing anything which isn't excellent' Reader review
