It was a revolutionary new source of energy that could save the planet from mass extinction. But when two chemists shared their scientific discovery with the world, there was anything but jubilation. Critics said it defied the laws of physics and couldn’t be replicated. It was shear luck that a small band of scientists were able to confirm the excess heat energy that Drs. Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons generated in tiny table-top cells. And there was more. Reports of unusual and anomalous effects. How did a small chemistry experiment turn into one of the greatest scientific mysteries ever encountered? And will ultra-clean power generators be ready to save the world before it’s too late? Now for the first time ever in graphical form, an incredible story of scientific courage based on true events. Scripted by Ruby Carat and illustrated by Matt Howarth, this Limited Edition 32-page B&W comic with full-color cover art delivers science like you’ve never seen it. Researchers Michael McKubre and Melvin Miles acted as consultants bringing the drama of Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons’ discovery succinctly to historical focus, showing how the globe came together to follow the truth, no matter where it would lead.
The legend began long ago, when the Earth was young. Even before the coming of men, advanced spirits were asked by Mother Earth to serve as guardians for the planet. Many answered, but four agreed to combine their powers to protect the northwest lands called Sacred Valleys. Throughout the millennia, many spirits left the earth, but few remained to protect all who dwelled beneath the splendor of Thunder Mountain. And so the legend of the Thunder Gods continues. In the sequel to The Catalysts, the Gods are summoned to protect once more. Through a tragic accident, three children are left orphaned. As Mike and Joe Kelly, with baby sister Carli in tow, trudge along a road to their grandfathers ranch, they soon learn from his neighborsthe Strongbowsthat their grandfather has died. After the Strongbows become their guardians, the children strive to regain a sense of security, heal their grief, and adjust to living in a strange house. Even so, although the Kelly children dont yet know it, the Thunder Gods have selected them to serve as catalysts for change. But when tragedy strikes again, it is up to the Thunder Gods to save a young boybefore it is too late.
Ruby Langford Ginibi' s remarkable talent for storytelling grabbed the attention of both black and white Australians when she released Don' t Take Your Love to Town, which has gone on to become a bestseller and is now a seminal work of Indigenous memoir. Don' t Take Your Love to Town is a story of courage in the face of poverty and tragedy. Ruby recounts losing her mother when she was six, growing up in a mission in northern New South Wales and leaving home when she was fifteen. She lived in tin huts and tents in the bush and picked up work on the land while raising nine children virtually single-handedly. Later she struggled to make ends meet in the Koori areas of Sydney. Don' t Take Your Love to Town is a brilliant memoir that will open your eyes and heart to an extraordinary woman' s story.
Helen of Troy engages with the ancient origins of the persistent anxiety about female beauty, focusing on this key figure from ancient Greek culture in a way that both extends our understanding of that culture and provides a useful perspective for reconsidering aspects of our own.
