The authors, including both established authors and those who are previously unpublished, are: Lou Allin, Catherine Astolfo, Linda Cahill, Melodie Campbell, Miriam Clavir, Susan Daly, Jill Downie, Elizabeth Hosang, P.M. Jones, Ann R. Loverock, H. MacDonald-Archer, Lesley Mang, Elaine Ruth Mitchell, Charlotte Morganti, Helen Nelson, Carol Newhouse, Judy Penz Sheluk, Steve Shrott, Madona Skaff, Coleen Steele and Linda Wiken. It is edited by Janet Costello. The stories have a variety of characters: shop owners, children, a thief, vengeful women, unhappy wives, a poet, police officers of both sexes and more...

Matt Kindt! Wilfredo Torres! A constant stream of terrorist attacks follows John Shaw, and the only thing that keeps him one step ahead is a collection of power-giving inhalers and a hatred of shoes. When he's once again caught in the middle of a terrorist plot, Shaw finds that these random attacks may not be so random—and the fabric of reality may be at stake. ''This is how you make comics!!''–Brian Michael Bendis.''Skip dinner and buy this book''–Mark Millar.

In 2006, rock legend and experienced amateur astronomer Brian May joined the legendary expert Sir Patrick Moore and astrophysicist Professor Chris Lintott to tell the story of the universe from the moment time and space came into existence at the Big Bang, through to the infinite future and the ultimate fate that awaits us. Following the spectacular success of the original book, Brian and Chris have got together again to extend and update the information in this accessible introduction to the history of the universe. Many of the pictures of the universe obtained by instruments such as the Hubble Space Telescope or the Very Large Telescope in Chile are beautiful enough to be considered works of art in their own right and this book presents them in context, and uses extraordinary new artworks to explain the mind-blowing theories from the cutting edge of astronomy in a way that everyone can understand. Fully revised and updated throughout, this new edition also contains an entire new chapter as well as more than 100 new photographs and illustrations.

That's it, the answer is there! What did he have before the Big-bang? That's the question everyone has been asking since the discovery of the Big-bang a hundred years ago. No astrophysicist has been able to give a convincing answer. When I discovered that the Big-bang is biblical, despite the fact that the Belgian abbot Georges Lemaitre, the founding father of this theory was unaware of this, I knew directly that the Pre-Big-bang should also be hidden in the Bible. While scientists are constantly questioning the universe for its discovery, I bring all the ingredients in a tray, with a new cosmological model for astrophysicists to look into. This is the Universal Cosmological Model; approved by itself by the Creator of the cosmos, as being the only scheme on which the universe appeared. Only reading will convince you and not my arguments.

The key feature of the principle of Circlon Synchronicity is the invention of the circlon shape as the locations for the mass and energy of protons and electrons. These two particles have identical circlon shapes except that today the electron is 1836 times larger and 1836 times less massive than the proton. The circlon shape is used to model the electrodynamics of photon emission and absorption. The electric fields that extend from electrons and the magnetic fields that extend from protons all have the circlon shape and are integral physical parts of their respective particles. The circlon shape is used to construct precise physical models of all the nuclei of all the chemical elements and it is also used to predict the exact time and temperature of the 2.7

Terms such as "expanding Universe", "big bang", and "initial singularity", are nowadays part of our common language. The idea that the Universe we observe today originated from an enormous explosion (big bang) is now well known and widely accepted, at all levels, in modern popular culture. But what happens to the Universe before the big bang? And would it make any sense at all to ask such a question? In fact, recent progress in theoretical physics, and in particular in String Theory, suggests answers to the above questions, providing us with mathematical tools able in principle to reconstruct the history of the Universe even for times before the big bang. In the emerging cosmological scenario the Universe, at the epoch of the big bang, instead of being a "new born baby" was actually a rather "aged" creature in the middle of its possibly infinitely enduring evolution. The aim of this book is to convey this picture in non-technical language accessibile also to non-specialists. The author, himself a leading cosmologist, draws attention to ongoing and future observations that might reveal relics of an era before the big bang.
