DOWNLOAD EBOOKSet by a beautiful lake in a housing development, Life at the Lake tells the gentle and easy-to-read story of the many different animals who live in or around the lake. As the story unfolds, each character has an adventure, often risking his or her own life to save a friend's life. The animals' personalities and skills help them get through the tasks before them, but they all pull together in the final chapter when they are faced with a tremendous storm. Sometimes coming in contact with the humans, whom they refer to as Two Feet, the animals are often wary of them. However, they tolerate them, often outfoxing them and using them to catch a meal! Life at the Lake will make you happy, sad, excited, and maybe even make you laugh, but most of all, you will be cheering for the animals.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEver wondered what a superhero eats for breakfast? Do they need a special diet to feed their superpowers? The odd metabolisms of superheroes must mean they have strange dietary needs, from the high calorie diets to fuel flaming bodies and super speeds, to not so obvious requirements for vitamins and minerals. The Secret Science of Superheroes looks at the underpinning chemistry, physics and biology needed for their superpowers. Individual chapters look at synthesising elements on demand, genetic evolution and what superhero suits could be made of. By exploring these topics, the book introduces a wide range of scientific concepts, from protein chemistry to particle physics for a general scientifically interested audience. With contributions from leading science communicators the book hopes to answer some of these important questions rather than debunk or pick holes in the science of superheroes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIntrepid international explorer, biologist, and photographer Mark W. Moffett, "the Indiana Jones of entomology," takes us around the globe on a strange and colorful journey in search of the hidden world of ants. In tales from Nigeria, Indonesia, the Amazon, Australia, California, and elsewhere, Moffett recounts his entomological exploits and provides fascinating details on how ants live and how they dominate their ecosystems through strikingly human behaviors, yet at a different scale and a faster tempo. Moffett’s spectacular close-up photographs shrink us down to size, so that we can observe ants in familiar roles; warriors, builders, big-game hunters, and slave owners. We find them creating marketplaces and assembly lines and dealing with issues we think of as uniquely human—including hygiene, recycling, and warfare. Adventures among Ants introduces some of the world’s most awe-inspiring species and offers a startling new perspective on the limits of our own perception. • Ants are world-class road builders, handling traffic problems on thoroughfares that dwarf our highway systems in their complexity • Ants with the largest societies often deploy complicated military tactics • Some ants have evolved from hunter-gatherers into farmers, domesticating other insects and growing crops for food

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe content of this book is based on the Andy Croft's experience of working with children in over 400 UK schools and will provide teachers with ideas, games, examples and models that they can use in the classroom to encourage their children to become writers and readers through the practice of rhyme and rhythm. He strongly believes that you don't have to be 'good at English' to be able to enjoy the music of ordinary speech. Using rhythm and rhyme is a democratic creative act that is equally hard and equally easy for everyone. It has special rules which won't let you reach for the first word that comes into your head. Your words have to fit the pattern. You don't have to write anything down, but you do have to become a writer. And once you have become a writer, you might become a reader...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKArt is a free gift to man, used to express himself and to release the treasures hidden within his beautiful heart. Art is a clue to our precious history and a revelation of the secrets to our future. If every artist reveals his or her creativity, perhaps we shall discover that the road map to divine treasures is not hidden in some faraway place but right here within us. Tobi is a young man embarking on an inspiring journey of self-discovery. Through a mysterious work of art, he enlightens those he encounters. After several failed attempts by the art to grasp the attention of the people walking past, all hope is virtually lost. The art’s persistent voice becomes audible to Tobi, the only one with a good heart and clear conscience. The art overflows with joy when it realizes that it has finally made it to the heart of one man, but the fate of mankind is shadowed by a looming danger. If humanity does not recognize the truth dancing before its eyes, the world could be drowned in heart wrenching sorrow. Tobi’s is a bumpy ride, but he might have the ability to bring us back safely—but as different people.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“This needs to be picked up by Netflix and made into a TV show. Absolutely brilliant” – Goodreads "In the vein of great writers like Harry Harrison and Robert A Heinlein" - Amazon “Nick Adams is a storyteller of rare ability” – Goodreads “I read a lot of sci-fi and this is in the top percent” – Amazon “Superb writing, editing and excellent storytelling” – Kobo “The best sci-fi series I have read in a while” – Amazon The Halo Fold A stolen tablet containing classified files, leads Edward Virr and the crew of the Gabriel to the distant Halo region of the Milky Way. They discover an awakening threat, dormant for several hundred thousand years and this time the alien threat is not human, but something from everyone’s darkest nightmare. Back in GDA space, Admiral Bache Loftt has problems of his own, trying to rebuilt his decimated fleet and can only spare one ship to help, skippered by the navy’s youngest and least experienced captain, Grogun Whipper. The threat, seemingly a long way away, rapidly escalates and manifests much closer to home. Threatening hundreds of human settled worlds with population extermination, including Earth. Loyalties, friendships and tempers are tested to breaking point as nothing it seems ever goes to plan. The Fold Series The Initial Fold The Andromedan Fold The Messier Fold The Cygnus Fold The Acheron Fold The Medusa Fold The Halo Fold Author Note: For the benefit of my awesome fans across the pond, this novel is written in UK English and may include a few colloquialisms and spellings that you don’t recognise. There is, understandably considering the circumstances, a bit of swearing involved. We do swear a bit in England, just put it down to eccentricity, or maybe our spirited Anglo-Saxon heritage. Another unusual trait of the Brits, is to use humour in stressful situations. Just ask anyone who’s been on active service with the British Armed Forces. It helps to keep one sane! Now you’re all prepared, I hope you enjoy the yarns. Cheers for now Nick Adams
