Zekel is the new action-packed YA monster-slaying fantasy from LP Cowling, that follows a high-ranking guildmember and renowned rogue, as he buys his way through life slaying one beastie after another. Brought to infamy following the defeat of a guildmember gone rogue that attempted to bring to life a god of destruction, Zekel now finds himself in the middle of civil unrest that threatens to tear his livelihood apart. But in the meantime, the troubles of the world go on, and Zekel tries to make as much money as possible before the institution he serves, is torn apart at the seams. One week the public mood is threatening to destroy the guild, for the fear of their magical members upsetting their peaceful lives. The next week the public mood is that magic is of such a necessity for quality of life, that even the mention of outlawing magic would be madness and chaos. Both weeks Zekel took jobs, and both weeks Zekel got paid.

Tom's Mum, Lucy, having been arrested for the abduction and murder of Anaemic Ben, lies deranged and confused in a Harminster police cell muttering, 'It was the witch!' Desperate to prove his Mum's innocence, Tom and his friends embark on another exciting inter-dimensional adventure to the mysterious realm of Nephatimis - a World where humans have been created by the genetic modification of Neanderthals with the highly civilized Annunaki, inhabitants of the planet Nibiru. Can Tom outwit the 'Curse of Amurabis' - the possession of one's soul by a fiendish djinn when forced to gaze upon the reflection of King Amurabis in the black obsidian mirror - and find Anaemic Ben or will he join his friends and the Royal children, Nampur and Zayana, to be hunted down and slaughtered as prey in the Royal Hunt? Has Tom got the courage to win this latest battle with the Devil for Eternal Infinity, or will Satan's power prove too strong as he sets the Devil's Star on a collision course with the planet Nibiru?

Catalytic In-Situ Upgrading of Heavy and Extra-Heavy Crude Oils A comprehensive guide to a cutting-edge and cost-effective refinement process for heavy oil Oil sufficiently viscous that it cannot flow normally from production wells is called heavy oil and constitutes as much as 70% of global oil reserves. Extracting and refining this oil can pose significant challenges, including very high transportation costs. As a result, processes which produce and partially refine heavy oil in situ, known as catalytic upgrading, are an increasingly important part of the heavy oil extraction process, and the reduced carbon footprint associated with these methods promises to make them even more significant in the coming years. Catalytic In-Situ Upgrading of Heavy and Extra-Heavy Crude Oils provides a comprehensive introduction to these processes. It introduces the properties and characteristics of heavy and extra-heavy oil before discussing different catalysts and catalyzing processes, their mechanisms and underlying physics, and more. It offers the full sweep of description and analysis required for petroleum and chemical engineers to understand this vital aspect of the modern oil industry. Readers will also find: Detailed discussion of subjects including electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and more Analysis of both liquid catalysts and nanoparticle catalysts A numerical simulation of the catalytic in-situ oil upgrading process Catalytic In-Situ Upgrading of Heavy and Extra-Heavy Crude Oils is a valuable reference for petroleum and chemical engineers as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate students in related fields.
