After being shipwrecked in the South Pacific, cousins Dick and Emmeline Lestrange are stranded upon an island, fortunately populated with plentiful resources and the beauty of nature. With the guidance of the ship’s cook, the only other survivor, they learn how to live off the land, foregoing their civilized upbringing and adopting a more primitive way of life. Of course, with this environment and its pleasures come a great number of dangers, from animal attacks to hazardous weather, and as Dick and Emmeline mature they experience one of the strongest forces of nature: love. Inspired by a sleepless night ruminating primitive man and how they might have responded to natural wonders, H. de Vere Stacpoole wrote and published The Blue Lagoon in 1908 to great praise and acclaim for its captivating descriptions of the titular lagoon, as well as for the character development of Dick and Emmeline as their romance blossoms. This adoration did not wane, with two sequel novels and a number of adaptations for stage and screen produced in the decades following its publication. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
A savage journey into the heart of Hunter S. Thompson's Las Vegas with the Good Doctor as tour guide. A Lord-of-the-Rings-like adventure in the city's underground flood channels. A seven-day stay at a seedy motel on East Fremont Street. The stories in My Week at the Blue Angel aren't about Steve Wynn, Cirque du Soleil, or how to play poker, and they aren't set in Caesars Palace, XS Nightclub, or a 2,000-seat showroom. They're about prostitutes, ex-cons, and the homeless, and they're set under Caesars Palace and in trailer parks and weekly motels. In this creative nonfiction collection, Matthew O'Brien--author of Beneath the Neon: Life and Death in the Tunnels of Las Vegas--and veteran photographer Bill Hughes show a side of the city rarely seen. A side beyond the neon lights, themed facades, and motel-room doors. A side beyond the barbwire fences, No Trespassing signs, and midnight shadows.
The climactic third novel in The Powers That Be trilogy, THE BLUE SPARK, envisions humankind’s destiny through a transformative sacrifice. Book Three in The Powers That Be trilogy, THE BLUE SPARK, paints a thought-provoking, action-packed vision of a post-invasion dystopian world with humankind on a razor’s edge between science and morality, loyalty and betrayal, hope and despair, courage and fear, evolution and extinction. A transformative sacrifice seals humankind’s destiny at the end of a celestial path. Sometimes, history repeats. THE BLUE SPARK picks up the narrative after Book Two, THE LOST SHIP, injecting readers into an intricately detailed and all-too-plausible near-future world grappling with a never-ending analog reality amid the chaos and corruption. The 510-page novel introduces the trilogy’s lynchpin, Hannah Haig (Rachel and Owen’s daughter), and a host of intriguing new characters joining the multi-generational cast of human and non-human heroes and villains. Matching wits through a complexity of interwoven storylines and gripping character arcs, the epic saga culminates with an against-all-odds celestial sacrifice to preserve humankind’s destiny in a crowded universe.

The Blue-Green Algae attempts to assemble a unified picture of blue-green algae as living organisms. It describes the organism's general features of form and structure, cellular organization, cell biology, gas vacuoles, and movements. The book addresses the culture, nutrition, growth, photosynthesis, chemosynthesis, heterotrophy, respiration, nitrogen metabolism, differentiation, reproduction, and life cycles of the blue-green algae. The organisms' freshwater and terrestrial ecology, pathogens, symbiosis, evolution, and phylogeny are also explained. These organisms form a substantial fraction of the biomass in several important types of habitat. Consequently, it is desirable to understand their activities if natural resources are to be conserved and used to best advantage. This book will be useful to students and research workers in this field of interest.
