Many works have been published on Bolsover, and have provided in depth, historical facts about the town. In the 'Ripple' series, the author moves away from the lengthy reference type publications to give a more brief, story approach to the town's history. This is the first book of the series and covers a broad spectrum of accounts over several thousand years, from early man passing through from the continent as they hunt, through to coal and the industrial revolution and the part it played in shaping the landscape.

It seems so long ago that the Death Furies under Shinar ruled the land. It is said they all are dead or dying since the great battle with Shinar long ago. But are they truly gone? The Skyebara is having a great healing effect upon Terra Zem as it spreads but it is not without resistance. Shinar's grip went deep. The ether is the living force in and of all things. So connected is the ether to all of Terra Zem that any disturbance in the land is felt by all like a ripple in a pond when a stone is thrown, its shock waves traveling outward. Indeed there is a ripple in the ether but what is its cause? Will it destroy all the Skyebara has accomplished? Find out as you travel once again with the Shadow Reavers and meet new characters like the Arcamagi, Drogan, Grimhiss, Guymayne and many more as you read Book 3 of the Ravenquest series--A RIPPLE IN THE ETHER.

An epic science fiction novel. A young woman (Beth) leads a science research team on a distant world at the same time as another team, protected by a large armed force, mine for precious ore. The science team genetically modify some members of one species, ape-like bipeds, to help provide labour. When the ruthless leader of the mining camp (Catanda) decides he will keep some of the ore for his personal gain, and he exterminates members of another mining group, the peaceful people of the science camp find themselves pitched in deadly conflict with Catanda and the armed forces. They seek refuge among the ape-people as a struggle begins for all their survival when Catanda threatens to exterminate them. They appear to have little hope of winning a conflict against a superior and technological armed force. A story of immortal love, ruthlessness, and the endless struggle of good against evil set in the jungle and desert of a young world. With links to videos, posters, and additional material on the internet to enrich the reader's experience. Authored by Mol Smith (Maurice Smith), a writer and creator of six feature films and numerous shorts for a small UK film production company: Onview Films; and a book which shares his unique style.

This book offers an overview of power electronic applications in the study of power integrated circuit (IC) design, collecting novel research ideas and insights into fast transient response to prevent the output voltage from dropping significantly at the undershoot. It also discusses techniques and training to save energy and increase load efficiency, as well as fast transient response and high efficiency, which are the most important factors for consumer products that implement power IC. Lastly, the book focuses on power electronics for system loop analysis and optimal compensation design to help users and engineers implement their applications. The book is a valuable resource for university researchers, power IC R&D engineers, application engineers and graduate students in power electronics who wish to learn about the power IC design principles, methods, system behavior, and applications in consumer products.

The Armed Detective Agency's latest case brings them to the floating city Standard Island, a strange man-made vessel and a resort for the wealthy off the coast of Yokohama. But what awaits the detectives turns out to be far more complicated than any of them could have expected: a bomb, time travel, a mysterious skill user named H. G. Wells...Will this case spell the end of Yokohama itself?!

As a Christian, have you ever been asked questions about your faith and were stumped without an answer? How can you prove that God exists without using the Bible as a reference? If you’re a non-Christian and in pursuit of knowing the truth, wouldn’t you like to know if there is proof of God’s existence? Stand for God is an introduction into Christian apologetics. Christian apologetics is where an apologist gives evidence for Christianity, defends God’s existence, and provides evidence that Jesus of Nazareth was the Son of God. We tackle some of the world’s hardest questions, such as the following: - Where did the universe come from? - Where do humans come from? - How can we know Jesus was who He claimed to be? - Do miracles exist? - How old is the universe? - Does evil disprove God? - Why do bad things happen to good people? - Did Jesus really rise from the dead? - Does evolution disprove God? Paul the Apostle says, But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense (apologia) to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is within you: yet do it with gentleness and respect. (1 Peter 3:15) Apologetics is derived from apologia, which is Greek for “to give a defense.” Are you ready to be able to defend your faith? God Exists. Prove Me Wrong.
