Rumors of a planet that is covered in gold, diamonds and precious metals has been talked about for centuries. Many believe that the planet does exist somewhere in the galaxy and astronomers even refer to it as planet R4591, but most people call it the Glistening Planet. A group of engineers contracted to fit life-support systems to the domes on the planet find that the Glistening Planet is no myth as it glitters and shines as the surface is indeed covered in a fortune of precious metals and gemstones. The engineers find out that there is more to the Glistening Planet than vast wealth and they soon find themselves fighting for their lives. More are on the way to raid the planets' riches as well as an army from a military regime and the engineers know they must get off the Glistening Planet as they know of its location and to remain means certain death.

Unifying the Universe: The Physics of Heaven and Earth presents a non-technical approach to physics for the lay-science enthusiast. This popular textbook, which evolved from a conceptual course at Cornell University, is intended for non-science undergraduate students taking their first physics module. This second edition maintains its unique approach in crossing boundaries between physics and humanities, with connections to art, poetry, history, and philosophy. It explores how the process of scientific thought is inextricably linked with cultural, creative, and aesthetic aspects of human endeavor, opening the readers up to new ways of looking at the world. The text has been fully updated throughout to address current and exciting new topics in the field, such as exo-planets, the accelerating Universe, dark matter, dark energy, gravitational waves, super-symmetry, string theory, big bang cosmology, and the Higgs boson. There is also an entirely new chapter on the Quantum World, which connects the fascinating topics of quantum entanglement and quantum computing. Key Features: Provides a solid, yet accessible, background to basic physics without complex mathematics Uses a human interest approach to show how science is significant for more than its technological consequences Discusses the arts and philosophies of historical periods that are pertinent to the subject

In this futuristic novel, John Seeger accidentally travels from 1986 to 2076 and lands in a revolutionary society where he soon manages to blend in with the utopian lifestyle. Seeger eventually discovers that past influences have left all the intelligent life forms of the local universe converted into euphoric machines. Jeso, a euphoric robot housing a human mind, has a grand plan to spread his Hedonistic Expansion crusade over the vast Local Group of galaxies via his vintage spacecraft, La Cielo, built three millenniums ago. Seeger realizes that robots have the capability to devour and reconstruct cities and microbots can take over anyone's emotions in this strange new world where money and property are of no value. After he falls in love with a beautiful woman, Mahea, Seeger inadvertently changes the course of his future in a perfect world as he uncovers a deep secret. Meanwhile, Seeger's beloved sister, Kayla, is still living in 1986, trapped in a bad marriage and in failing health, and Seeger must choose between returning to his former world or moving on with his new life. Jeso and Seeger's paths eventually converge and take them on a collision course that, in the end, will decide the future of their universe.

Imagine this. You're 50 years old. An only child, from a Jewish family. The people youthought of as your mother and father are dead. Then, in the middle of the night you get a phone call from the other side of the planet telling you they've found your mother. Alive. Your real mother. Suddenly, you become the oldest of seven across two families. All your assumptions about yourself are swept away. From Ground Zero, you begin a journey of rediscovery to reclaim your identity. But the truths you gather are relative, subjective. Like speculating on the nature of the universe from the perspective of one planet and then again from another. Making each world view your own. My Planets is in fact a suite of works - a physical book; an enhanced eBook incorporating images, music, sound and video with spoken word and text, a film. Like most of David P Reiter's work, it challenges the boundaries, changing shape with the message, inviting the reader to time-travel on a Tardis of the mind. Making his planets your own.
