Who knows what is, what will be and what might be? Author K.T. Seto explores the possibilities in this collection of short stories. For the first time read all of her previously published Science Fiction shorts in one place and 6 brand new never before published tales. Enter into the world of what if and explore the depths of the human psyche. Find love, find hope, start anew. Tales range from classic science fiction complete with aliens, to cyberpunk and dystopian fiction. Parallel, a collection of short science fiction by K.T. Seto. It's guaranteed to be a wild ride.
A discussion of the basic properties of structurally extended defects, their effect on the electronic properties of semiconductors, their role in semiconductor devices, and techniques for their characterization. This text is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in materials science and engineering, and for those studying semiconductor physics.
Dermot, Brian, Ruairí, and Ciara have been training for their role as the next generation of the coven of sorcerers known as the Dríacht. But their training will have to wait. War is upon Denú. Dark forces loyal to the evil sorcerer Taranis are on the rampage. They make new allies, including Denú's royal family, one of whom seems familiar to Dermot. The Dríacht must now take different paths to save lives and uphold the people's morale. For Dermot and his friends, they will embark upon a series of adventures that will teach them what it means to be a dríadór. Meanwhile, Taranis has enslaved Dermot and Brian's father. Will the brothers see him or their mother again? Before a tremendous battle begins, many secrets long kept deep shall finally surface.
A species existing in secret, a vendetta and a curse, a clan bound by magik bound together by love. "Okay, I was out of line, I'll admit it, and I'm sorry." Beth began gathering their dirty dishes and stacking them near the sink. "Keep going." She turned the water on and plugged the sink, pouring dish detergent into the water. "Weres can be... possessive." Beth snorted. "You think?" "We had such a connection last night, and my wolf... well, he wants to claim you as ours." "Excuse me?" "My wolf wants to claim you as our mate." A single kiss leads to passion. A single look to destiny. Were shifters meet their fated match in a world where magic, lust and evil collide. Resisting Evil- Book One of the Magik Saga takes readers on a journey through tragedy and ecstasy into true love.
This book contributes to broadening the interdisciplinary knowledge basis for the description, analysis and assessment of land use practices. It presents conceptual advances grounded in empirical case studies on four main themes: distal drivers, competing demands on different scales, changing food regimes and land-water competition. Competition over land ownership and use is one of the key contexts in which the effects of global change on social-ecological systems unfold. As such, understanding these rapidly changing dynamics is one of the most pressing challenges of global change research in the 21st century. This book contributes to a deeper understanding of the manifold interactions between land systems, the economics of resource production, distribution and use, as well as the logics of local livelihoods and cultural contexts. It addresses a broad readership in the geosciences, land and environmental sciences, offering them an essential reference guide to land use competition.

Polycrystalline and Amorphous Thin Films and Devices is a compilation of papers that discusses the electronic, optical, and physical properties of thin material layers and films. This compilation reviews the different applications of thin films of various materials used as protective and optical coatings, thermal transfer layers, and selective membranes from submicron- area VLSI memory units to large-area energy conservation devices. Some papers discuss the basic properties, such as growth, structure, electrical, and optical mechanisms that are encountered in amorphous and polycrystalline thin semiconductor films. For example, experiments on electronic structure of dislocations have led to a...
