"The excitement never stops . . . high adventure at its very best." --New York Times bestselling author Gayle Lynds In the icy waters of the northern Pacific, a top-secret mission threatens to explode into a nuclear crisis . . . A Russian military spy sub lies marooned in American waters near the U.S.-Canadian border. Yuri Kirov, a seasoned security officer, is in charge of the crew's safety--and the operation's success. His only hope is to make a death-defying underwater escape, reach shore undetected, and convince a total stranger that the fate of the world depends on helping him. For software engineer Laura Newman, it's not an easy choice. But with two Russian spies tailing them, and tensions escalating between superpowers, one wrong move could trigger unthinkable devastation. In the tradition of Tom Clancy's The Hunt for Red October, this electrifying novel of espionage is a gripping tale of danger, courage, and daring decisions. Includes an exciting excerpt from the next Yuri Kirov thriller, The Forever Spy.

There are every nightdreams and deep lucid dreams; this story has both. Without dreams, the story character Debra Sanja tells us that we wouldn't exist, and our world wouldn't exist. Most people look forward to a good night's sleep and a good dream. A good dream can be a vacation for the mind and a message from the soul. Dreams are so important that we study them now-Oneirology. Mystics and shamans have known the importance of dreams and have practiced dream travel for millennia. Sigmund Freud went in the other direction. He sought to make logic of dreams by identifying their mechanisms. He did call dreams the interpretation of the royal road to the unconscious. Dreams are essential. Try to ...

A short novel about Time Travel: you will meet three-time travelers as they venture through the past, present, and future. These travelers from three different time epochs don’t use a time machine. They are subjective time travelers, and Lee Boswell, who becomes Chrono, is taught how to do this after he goes through a gene therapy treatment that allows his brain to shift and dial in time periods in the past, present, or future. The science behind this and consciousness itself is revealed consistently through the narrative. Preconceived notions of what time is regarding the past and the future and time travel are brought into a new light of reasoning. (4-12-2023) [Following is an official O...
Decades of research have shown that early-career teachers face a number of challenges and hold an increasingly wide set of responsibilities. Teacher educators, therefore, must think carefully about how to prepare early-career teachers for the profession. Additionally, however, the work of teaching and teacher education has become increasingly complex within the context of the current virtual age, including the prominent reality of social media and the significant possibilities of online teaching and learning. Research, Practice, and Innovations in Teacher Education During a Virtual Age makes a significant contribution to the scholarship on teacher education by presenting a variety of evidenc...
Purdue University has played a leading role in providing the engineers who designed, built, tested, and flew the many aircraft and spacecraft that so changed human progress during the 20th century. It is estimated that Purdue has awarded 6% of all BS degrees in aerospace engineering, and 7% of all PhDs in the United States during the past 65 years. The University's alumni have led significant advances in research and development of aerospace technology, have headed major aerospace corporations and government agencies, and have established an amazing record for exploration of space. More than one third of all US manned space flights have had at least one crew member who was a Purdue engineering graduate (including the first and last men to step foot on the moon). The School of Aeronautics & Astronautics was founded as a separate school within the College of Engineering at Purdue University in 1945. The first edition of this book was published in 1995, at the time of the school's 50th anniversary. This corrected and expanded second edition brings the school's illustrious history up to date, and looks to Purdue's future in the sky and in space.
