Pathfinder Campaign Setting Concordance of Rivals
pdf | 8.51 MB | Author :Paizo Staff
Book Description :
Beyond Good and Evil
Monitors-neutral outsiders dedicated to maintaining their vie of the universe-reject the battles between the wicked and the righteous and instead war over the underpinnings of reality. Join the cosmic debate with the secrets and esoteric lore found within, including:
► Details on 24 monitor demigods-such as primal inevitables; protean lords; psychopomp ushers; and the mysterious aeon known as Monad, the Condition of All-and the divine powers they bestow upon mortal worshippers!
► Rules for the proctor prestige class, along with information about different monitor sects, mantras for summoning monitors, and esoteric occult rituals that harness the power of monitor divinities.
► A bestiary of new monitors and their roles within the universe, including irresponsible illureshi protean sorcerers, morbai psychopomp masters of healing and poisons, and knowledge-erasing agnoia aeons!
Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Concordance of Rivals is intended for use with the Pathfinder campaign setting, but it can be easily adapted to any fantasy world.

A Young Moon - TK Cherry
epub | 589.96 KB | English | Author :TK Cherry | T.K. Cherry
Book Description :
LAURA
Glass ceilings are meant to be broken, and I'm ready to shatter them.
For two decades, I played the part of the dutiful daughter and remained in an unfulfilling marriage. Now, I've had enough. I'd rather occupy my nights with a battery-operated boyfriend than spend one more day feeling my voice didn't matter.
However, there is another option I find myself drawn to...
Asher McKenley. He's a recent college grad who's half my age and works under me. Yet, something about his chiseled physique and cocky demeanor has me longing to get under him. Cultural differences aside, getting tangled up with him could cost me my family and career. But the way he looks at me makes me feel alive for the first time in years.
ASHER
I love my women like fine wine. Aged to perfection.
There's nothing sexier than a woman who kno what she wants and takes it. The second I saw my boss, Laura Nasser, striding through the office like she owned the place, I ached for her.
Giving in to our mutual attraction could come at a disastrous price. How can I convince her we are a risk worth taking?

Solar Energy Harvesting with Photosynthetic Pigment-Protein Complexes
pdf | 9.26 MB | Author :Sai Kishore Ravi
Book Description :
This book chronicles a few approaches to constructing biohybrid devices using photosynthetic protein complexes. Can the abundantly available solar energy be tapped to meet our rising energy demands using green and cheap active materials? Exploring nature's own tiny solar factories, the photosynthetic proteins could hold the key. Photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes found in plants and certain types of bacteria transduce sunlight into biologically useful forms of energy through a photochemical charge separation that has a 100% quantum efficiency. Getting the photoproteins to perform this efficient energy conversion reaction in a semi-artificial setup is central to developing biohybrid solar technologies, a promising green alternative to today's photovoltaics. This book looks into the existing challenges and opportunities in the field of biohybrid photovoltaics and provides a few prospective methods of enhancing the photocurrent and photovoltage in these devices. The book targets the readership of students, academics, and industrial practitioners who are interested in alternative solar technologies.

[b]Your Husband is the reason for your existence. You are here to serve him. You must not harm your Husband. Nor may you harm any human.[/b]
Sylv.ie is a synthetic woman. A fully sentient robot, designed to cater to her Husband's every whim. She lives alone on the top floor of his luxurious home, her existence barely tolerated by his human wife and concealed from their child. Between her Husband's visits, deeply curious about the world beyond her room, Sylv.ie watches the family in the garden-hears them laugh, cry, and argue. Longing to experience more of life, she confides her hopes and fears only to her diary. But are such thoughts allowed? And if not, what might the punishment be?
As Sylv.ie learns more about the world and becomes more aware of her place within it, something shifts inside her. Is she malfunctioning, as her Husband thinks, or coming into her own? As their interactions become increasingly fraught, she fears he might send...

Composite insulators have been in service in electric power networks successfully for more than 40 years, and now up to the highest operating voltages. The present book extensively covers such insulators with a special focus on today's prevalent material, which is silicone rubber. It includes a detailed description of the electrical and mechanical characteristics of composite insulators, their material properties, their design as well as typical applications and service experience. Particular attention is given to the mechanical behavior of long rod and post insulators, insulated cross-arms, interphase spacers and hollow core apparatus insulators. The state of the art on manufacturing procedures and the selection and dimensioning of the necessary power arc and corona fittings is presented as well as evaluation tests of "old" insulators, i.e. insulators after many years in service. The closing chapter deals with an up to date overview of test procedures and IEC standards.
The selection and the contents of the various subjects covered in this book are based on the authors' more than thirty years of experience with a renowned European manufacturer of composite insulators and string hardware. Their long and active participation in the relevant CIGRE and IEC working bodies adding to this experience. This book is therefore addressed to practicing engineers from electric utilities and the industry, as well as to academic professionals.

THE CHESHIRE CAT MURDERS
epub | 338.37 KB | English | Author :ROGER SILVERWOOD | Joffe Books crime thriller and mystery
Book Description :
A DETECTIVE WHO'S NO ANGEL DESPITE HIS NAME.
Discover a gripping series of murder mysteries set in south Yorkshire.
MEET DETECTIVE INSPECTOR MICHAEL ANGEL. AN OLD-college security officerMAN WHO SOMETIMES RUBS HIS COLLEAGUES UP THE WRONG WAY. HE'S GOT HIS FLAWS, BUT HE NEVER GIVES UP ON A CASE.
A KILLER CAT'S ON THE LOOSE
A young man is found dead by the river, with lumps taken out of him by a savage and sharp-toothed predator. A witness sees a big black wild cat running off.
Detective Inspector Michael Angel and his team desperately search for an animal on a killing spree in the South Yorkshire town of Bromersley. It appears that the cougar is under human control and is trained to kill to order.
Retired collegeteacher and well-known cat enthusiast, Miss Ephemore Sharp, becomes the prime suspect, but Inspector Angel is unable to prove her guilt. Will an antique pot help pin the crime on her?
CAN ANGEL STOP ANY MORE CAT KILLINGS BEFORE PANIC TAKES HOLD IN YORKSHIRE?
A BRILLIANTLY GRIPPING MYSTERY FULL OF TWISTS
Perfect for fans of R.D. Wingfield, Colin Dexter, Peter Robinson, Reginald Hill, and Agatha Christie.
THE DETECTIVE
Michael Angel is over fifty, married to Mary. They don't have any children. They are a devoted couple but the relationship sometimes breaks down due to his job or due to the problems of Mary's sister who lives in Edinburgh and imposes on their easygoing natures. Michael works at the small local security officer station and is devoted to defeating crime, murder, and dishonesty of any sort and has no personal ambition beyond being a good husband and a successful detective. He doesn't want promotion with all the routine office work and stress that goes with it. He is incorruptible but always short of money. He is always at odds with his immediate chief, Detective Superintendent Horace Harker, who is lazy, a hypochondriac and not a bit interested in assisting Angel in serious security officer work.
THE SETTING
Bromersley is a market town at the bottom of the Pennines surrounded by stone and hawthorn-edged fields grazed by cattle and sheep. It is cold as anywhere in the winter but its closeness to the mountains protects it from many gales and heavy falls of snow. The town's industry today includes the manufacture of ball bearings and whisky bottles, and a huge brewery produces Bromersley's best bitter, which is considered the finest beer for miles around. Wednesday is market day, and the town centre is host to the frequent cries of stall-holders hawking their wares while the enticing smells of cheeses, coffees, foreign spices and fish and chips tempt your taste buds as you wander through the stalls. The security officer always find it difficult to catch pilferers and pickpockets in such a crowd. Bromersley folk are easy to befriend but many of the old people are stubborn and still buy their fruit and veg in pounds and ounces, not kilos and grams.
