The Bronze Horsemen is a fictional novel that describes an actual bronze age group of people called the Botai (Bow-Tie). who dominated the steppes of southern Russia for 600 years. According to "Discover Magazine, Summer/2010 the Botai were very likely the first to capture and domesticate a horse. The characters and adventures are fiction as are the names of their leaders and the challenges they faced as they struggled to survive. Their fortunes changed when they tamed a horse. Being mounted gave the Botai an advantage over those who sought to destroy them and changed the world for thousands of years.
Twenty-five years after the Smolens drove the Botai from their homeland, Daven comes face to face with Scarman, the warrior who killed both his father and his mother. As a young man, Daven vowed to take back his tribe’s original homeland. Now he is the lead hunter and second-in-command of the Botai, and he hasn’t forgotten his vow. Daven and Bruno, the Botai clan leaders, learn from two captured scouts that they are about to be attacked by an old enemy who has superior numbers of hardened fighters. The Botai have trained horses, better weapons and new leaders who refuse to run. If not for their horses, the Botai would have little chance to survive the coming battle. Daven creates the perfect plan down to the smallest detail, only to have it exposed by a traitor who is willing to see the Botai destroyed for their own personal gain. Still, they face overwhelming numbers. If not for their horses, Daven and Bruno would have little chance to survive the coming battle. They create the perfect plan, down to the smallest detail—only to have it exposed by a traitor who is willing to see the Botai destroyed for personal gain. The second in a series, Adventures of the Bronze Horsemen begins where The Bronze Horsemen ends and explores the historical period of the Bronze Age in 3000 BC.
Trouble comes to the Botai at the peak of their power. Recent raids on shepherds and travelers have started again in a similar pattern to attacks made by the Smolens villagers years ago. Even worse, the Botai have lost their access to tin, the key ingredient in making bronze. Daven, the Botai lead hunter, decides to search for the raiders first and deal with access to tin later. He suspects that their old enemies are back, and it appears that Mercillus, leader of the Smolens, might have enough men to take revenge on the Botai. The trio of Botai leaders, Alex, Daven, and Bruno, take their hardened fighters and set out to find the raiders, journeying to unknown lands and facing strange new challenges. Along the way, they battle slavers and encounter a variety of other people, both hostile and friendly. But soon they learn that the raiders, who call themselves the Wolf Clan, are responsible for the raids, and some of their names and faces are familiar. In this historical novel, a group of Bronze Age horsemen set out on an action-filled journey in order to protect their way of life from raiders seeking to destroy it.
Author David Saunders, former keeper of conservation and scientific research at the British Museum, explores how to balance the conflicting goals of visibility and preservation under a variety of conditions. Beginning with the science of how light, color, and vision function and interact, he proceeds to offer detailed studies of the impact of light on a wide range of objects, including paintings, manuscripts, textiles, bone, leather, and plastics. With analyses of the effects of light on visibility and deterioration, Museum Lighting provides practical information to assist curators, conservators, and other museum professionals in making critical decisions about the display and preservation of objects in their collections.
Fictional account of the Botai, a Bronze Age group of people who dominated the steppes of southern Russia for 600 years. Domestication of horses gave the Botai an advantage over those who sought to destroy them and changed the world for thousands of years.

This comprehensive new resource based on the classic Artech House title, Microwave Materials for Wireless Applications, introduces the use of new microwave materials for passive devices including ferrites, magnetization garnets, dielectric materials, and absorbers for wireless and antenna applications. This book explores a new set of magnetic and dielectric materials that assist with size reduction of passive devices such as ferrite isolators and circulators. Revised data on the applications of absorbers, including examples of different combinations of magnetic, dielectric, and absorber materials into integrated devices is presented. Meta-materials for antennas and potential antenna integration onto soft boards or LTCC filter technologies using tunable devices with new materials are covered. Professionals learn how new material designs use properties of certain ions in oxide compounds to reduce their physical size, including in cellular base stations designed for 4G and 5G cell phone communication systems. This book exhibits how the integration of new materials into cellular systems using common transmission lines will further save size and reduce complexity. New technologies are presented demonstrating the use of sol-gel processing and ceramic processing in the use of low temperature co-fired ceramics, plastic molding, and 3D printing demonstrating improved device designs.
Now available in an Australian Edition, this new textbook provides a comprehensive, clearly structured and well-illustrated guide to differential diagnosis of symptoms that are commonly seen by the community pharmacist. The regional nature of pharmacy practice means a locally-produced text is essential. Within this comprehensive guide the authors give an in-depth view of minor conditions commonly encountered in community pharmacies in Australia.
