About Why You Can’t Catch a Rocket to Mars: Some Personal Reflections on Science and Society, by Lyndon N. Smith

Why you can’t catch a rocket to Mars,

(Some personal reflections on Science and Society, by Lyndon N. Smith PhD)

Have you ever wondered why you can’t catch a rocket to Mars? Or Jupiter, or Pluto, or the nearest star? The latter is an exciting prospect, since it is orbited by an ‘exo’ (earth-like) planet that might support life. This richly illustrated book will explain why getting there is not as crazy an idea as you might think. It will also help you understand what has been holding back science and technology for many years, or decades, and what we can do about it; as well as providing a fascinating glimpse into a wide range of fantastic future possibilities. Artificial intelligence, or AI, which is presented as a key means for us to achieve these goals, is discussed in depth. The author, Lyndon N. Smith, is a professor in AI at a major UK university, with a background in physics and engineering, and over 25 years of research experience (on both sides of the Atlantic). After publishing 180 scientific papers and a number of academic books, he explains in this unique, provocative, and accessible book, not only what amazing tasks can be achieved by modern AI techniques such as ‘convolutional neural networks’ – but also how they actually work! This is followed by an enlightening survey of potential and definite threats that we all face (with possible responses), that include Brexit, contact with extra-terrestrials (ET), near Earth objects (NEOs) colliding with the Earth, viruses, and global warming. There is then a discussion of fascinating technological developments that we may expect to see in the near, and far, future. Here topics addressed include: transport, robotics (from Robby the Robot through to Data), elimination of the need for instrumentalities, prospects for abundant power, manufacture of any objects we desire, as well as the likelihood of a number of miscellaneous miracles that include: invisibility, truly useful nanotechnology, and space elevators.
The author goes on to discuss the effects we may expect such advanced technologies to have on our lives, including the prospects for eternal life and attainment of velocities in excess of that of light for interstellar travel; with all the astonishing implications the latter would have for overcoming the previously mentioned threats, as well as facilitating human exploration and possible colonisation of the Milky Way Galaxy and beyond. As though this wasn’t enough, a range of predictions are then given of the amazing technological developments expected in the far future. The author encourages us to ‘reach for the stars’ and concludes that we have it in our power to realise a new Golden Age for humanity – providing we can find the wisdom to avoid destroying ourselves in a nuclear Armageddon and instead focus our efforts on the powerful potential of future research and development.
If you have any interest in science and technology, and its effects on society – and more specifically your future life (and who hasn’t?), you will find this book engrossing and enlightening. As well as employing a highly accessible and breezy style, the author makes liberal use of quotations and allusions to well-known figures from popular culture. The result is a very engaging book that you will not be able to put down nor stop thinking about. You will wonder why we don’t hear more about how all the technologies that surround us can and should help improve our quality of life (much more than they currently do), both now and in the future. You will understand why we need to spend more time and effort on looking to the future rather than agonising over the past. And, you will never view Sherlock Holmes or Star Trek in the same way again!

Author Bio:
Lyndon N. Smith has a strong interest in science and technology, and a particular fascination with developments in physics and engineering that can have potentially revolutionary effects on the way we live. He feels that scientific and technological developments of recent decades have been less dramatic than was expected, say, seventy years ago and that an investigation into why this is the case and what we can do about it is well overdue. His background includes degrees in physics, robotics and engineering, as well as 26 years of research experience in the UK (and USA), which has resulted in 180 technical papers, two books and the supervision of 20 PhDs. As well as being a professor at a major UK university, he is also something of a bibliophile; but has had a long-standing concern about the lack of accessibility of many science and technology related publications, in terms of the associated difficulties with public engagement with science, as well as reducing the likelihood of science having a strong and beneficial impact on society. He believes that one way to increase the accessibility of science is to employ an informal style, and to make liberal use of quotations and allusions to well-known figures from popular culture. This is what he has aimed to do with his new book. His intention is to make you wonder why we don’t hear more about how modern technologies can revolutionise our lives. He believes we need to spend more time and effort on looking to the future rather than agonising over the past. And he uses discussion of people and events from the past, as well as various predictions of the possible future, to throw light on the situation for science and technology, and what developments we might expect going forward. Lyndon lives in Central Somerset, with his wife and son.

About The Utterly Amazing Brain Of Ignatius Cramp by Fiona Mackinnon

Have you ever heard voices in your head? Not pretend voices you make up yourself, that have foreign accents you can’t really do properly, but very real, very clear, very weird, very annoying voices. What if they’re coming from a tiny alien spaceship? Bet that’s never happened to you. But it happened to 13 year old Ignatius Cramp.

Getting a family of four galaxy-hopping tourists (and their pet sabre-tooth tiger) that have crash-landed in your brain back to their home planet is as hard as it sounds; especially when dark forces conspire to open your head with a tin-opener (or any other handy head-opening implement).

Written with readers aged 9 to 11 in mind, The Utterly Amazing Brain of Ignatius Cramp is a hilarious, race-against-time adventure for both boys and girls to enjoy.

ids Corner book of the month in Scotland’s national newspaper, The Daily Record, October 2012.

‘Iggy was funny and cheeky and there’s lots of suspense that made me race to the end.’

About THE LATE MR. CARY A 1920s Mystery

THE LATE MR. CARY by Michael Campeta
Of all times to travel to upstate New York, Megan Cary told herself as she hurried into Grand Central Station, it was at the height of a blizzard.
It is January 1928. Megan Cary, a young and stylish librarian, is on her way to the state library conference. On the train, Meg meets Janet Faraday who confides that she killed her son’s father six years earlier—and got away with it.
With her marriage crumbling, Meg can no longer tolerate her husband Adam’s moodiness and philandering. She harbored thoughts of divorce but murder?
During a family visit, Adam mysteriously dies. Meg finds a suicide note and the police want to quickly close the case. So does Adam’s mother Helen, the stern matriarch of the family. Skeptical that Adam would kill himself, Meg hires a private detective whose investigation ultimately unravels family secrets as a series of surprising deaths occur over two cold and snowy weeks in Albany.
Janet falls under a trolley and is killed. Yet a witness claims she saw someone push Janet to her death. Then comes the abrupt death of Helen’s maid. Soon after, a neighborhood busybody, who was present at the time of Adam’s death, falls down her cellar stairs and dies. Meg wonders if these deaths could somehow be related.
THE LATE MR. CARY is a classic mystery set in the stately home of an upper crust family in the 1920s, bringing the 1920s to life—amidst a parade of death!

I live in the Highlands of Scotland with my wife, Tess, who is originally from the Philippines. We met on a Christian website and from there our love blossomed. She says she only replied to my initial e-mail because I told her all my problems!!
Apart from writing I am interested in photography and art. I enjoy landscape painting and I get the inspiration from the mountains and lochs in this beautiful area. Fishing the hill lochs is also another passion. Tess also enjoys writing and painting but most of all reading. The house is full of books!!
Living in the Highlands of Scotland and having a love of poetry I decided to publish two books containing a selection of poetry from the old Scottish poets. I wanted to keep their memory alive. The books are “Scottish Poetic Heritage” and “Scottish Poetic Treasury.” I highly recommend these books to anyone with a love of Scotland.
I then, for my own pleasure, wrote two very short stories depicting two aristocratic characters in the Army during a fictional war.
I came to really like these two characters, Lord Bigsby and Field Marshal James, with their eccentric ways.
I now concentrate on and I am really enjoying writing light-hearted amateur private detective mysteries with Bigsby and James as the two detectives. My first book in the ‘Aristocrats Mystery’ series, published by Cozy Cat Press, is titled “Death of Lord Percy”.
My second one is titled — “Death of Alistair MacTavish”.

My wife has written about her traumatic life and childhood rejection in the Philippines “Dare To Dream” under her pen-name Diane Mira.

About Marhahnyahm: Book I – Of Revealing Contentions by Tumbmar

A twelve-year-old boy, cursed by the sage his teacher before having been born, must venture from his home on a wonderful but perilous journey.

Delightful in the many people he should meet and the many sights he should see, but fraught with much conflict along the way.

And all the while must he contend with individuals and forces and knowledge greater than he has ever known; be they lords, kings, Celestials, Gods, or Demons.

Thus wishing to know all concerning him and his journey, the illustrious Shūnaya requested of the great bard and sage Samithaḥ:

”O blessed devotee of the highest being, you who have arrived to officiate alongside us this grand sacrifice, we come seeking your narration of the greatest of the Ṃārhaḥn that had walked this world in the days of yore. A man, greater than any who had come before and had dispensed to us the universal wisdom that had been lost for many an age. Will you recite the Pharvanṃ of this great individual, O One who is of the Sun?”

And thereupon being glad of heart, Samithaḥ dispensed to him and the sixty thousand sages that had gathered in that sacred forest of transience, the long epic of the greatest Ṃārhaḥ that had ever lived in Ārhmanhaḥ: Tūmbṃār, they who shall overcome!

Thus begins the glorious tale of the Ṃārhaḥnyahm of Tūmbṃār!

About Living in Cleveland with the Ghost of Joseph Stalin by Marc Sercomb

It’s the summer of 1953. Calvin Jefferson Coolidge is thirteen years old when the ghost of Joseph Stalin appears to him in his Aunt Evelyn’s cluttered Cleveland attic and wants to dictate his memoirs to him.
“I want to tell my side of the story,” Uncle Joe tells him. “They’re giving me one year to set the record straight, so we need to get started right away.”
Calvin’s life is falling apart at the seams. He’s a misfit and loner whose only friends are famous dead people. He loves polka music and Westerns and sometimes wonders what it would be like to kiss a girl. His con man father is in Florida looking for his bipolar runaway mother. His cousin Buck is abducted and experimented on by aliens. The lady next door wants to coach him in the ways of love. His pastor thinks he’s headed straight for Hell. His English teacher thinks he’s a savant. The school psychologist wants to have him committed. His shrink thinks he’s just plain nuts. Sometimes, Calvin believes it too.
Everybody’s trying to figure out what makes Calvin tick in this quirky, fast-paced metaphysical romp through the heart and soul of 1950’s America.

About Raising Hell by L.A. Boruff and Lacey Carter Andersen

FREE 5/8-5/12

To hell or not to hell, that is the question…

When an honest-to-God Angel appears on my doorstep, claiming me to be his, I think he’s got a few screws loose, even if he is sexy as sin and embodies every wet dream I’ve ever had.

But how can I be his when I have a doting husband and a baby on the way?

Turns out I’m the queen of Hell. And my loving husband? Yeah, he’s Lucifer.

And my two angel mates—Michael and Gabriel—are NOT happy I’m with another man. Like, they may or may not try to murder him a few times. Oops.

Hell wants its queen back, but I refuse to put my baby at risk.

What will we do when the demons from Hell try to claim what they believe is rightfully theirs?

Do we fight to stay on Earth or accept our place on the throne?

All I know for sure is I’m about to raise hell.
