DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn Christmas Eve 1971, the packed LANSA flight 508 from Lima to Pucallpa was struck by lightning and went down in dense jungle hundreds of miles from civilization. Of its 93 passengers, only one survived. Juliane Koepcke, the seventeen-year-old child of famous German zoologists. She'd been thrown from the plane two miles above the forest canopy, but had sustained only a broken collarbone and a cut on her leg. With incredible courage, instinct and ingenuity, she survived three weeks in the "green hell" of the Amazon - using the skills she'd learned in assisting her parents on their research trips into the jungle - before coming across a loggers hut, and, with it, safety. Now she tells her fascinating story for the first time, and in doing so tells us about her 'Gerald Durrell' childhood - with a menagerie of wild, exotic and sometimes dangerous pets - about how she learned to survive at her parents ecological station deep in the rainforest and about her present-day commitment to this wildlife as a biologist and dedicated environmentalist.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMind Crash sets out to explore the deepest recesses of the human psyche through the utilization of several, quite often brutal, language exploration techniques. The results, a seemingly random collection of metaphysical short stories, cut-ups, koans, poems and automatic writing, are often as unsettling as they are darkly humorous. Whilst employing these frequently painful mental gymnastic routines, the author unwittingly unleashes, and subsequently exorcises, a number of allegorical demons. Do not forget to bolt your windows whilst reading it! - - - Mind Crash originally started life as a series of sporadic newsletters, available through subscription only, to a selective band of cultural mischief-makers dotted around the USA, Europe and Japan. These long-since out of print works, together with previously unpublished pieces, have now been composed into a single volume for the very first time.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSince the beginning of recorded history, people have been mystified by UFOs—unidentified flying objects. Even Christopher Columbus, on a 1492 voyage aboard the Santa Maria, was puzzled by a sight he described as “a light glimmering at a great distance” in the sky. While no UFOs have ever been captured or recovered, there may be startling clues to their existence left behind in places where they are thought to have struck the ground. In this book, children will visit 11 of the eeriest UFO crash sites found around the world. Among them is the scene of a gigantic, unexplained explosion that knocked flat 80 million trees; a hillside strewn with unearthly artifacts; and a spot where an alien pilot is said to be buried. The intriguing photographs and fascinating nonfiction text will keep children turning the pages to discover more spellbinding stories.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anathem, Reamde, and Cryptonomicon comes an exciting and thought-provoking science fiction epic—a grand story of annihilation and survival spanning five thousand years. What would happen if the world were ending? A catastrophic event renders the earth a ticking time bomb. In a feverish race against the inevitable, nations around the globe band together to devise an ambitious plan to ensure the survival of humanity far beyond our atmosphere, in outer space. But the complexities and unpredictability of human nature coupled with unforeseen challenges and dangers threaten the intrepid pioneers, until only a handful of survivors remain . . . Five thousand years later, their progeny—seven distinct races now three billion strong—embark on yet another audacious journey into the unknown . . . to an alien world utterly transformed by cataclysm and time: Earth. A writer of dazzling genius and imaginative vision, Neal Stephenson combines science, philosophy, technology, psychology, and literature in a magnificent work of speculative fiction that offers a portrait of a future that is both extraordinary and eerily recognizable. As he did in Anathem, Cryptonomicon, the Baroque Cycle, and Reamde, Stephenson explores some of our biggest ideas and perplexing challenges in a breathtaking saga that is daring, engrossing, and altogether brilliant.
