The Unsolved Universe: Challenges for the Future
The reviews and highlights included in this book of proceedings of the plenary sessions, of the Joint European and National Astronomical Meeting (2002), cover some of the major fields and projects which will determine the research in astronomy in the next decades. The highlights have been presented by young astronomers from several European countries, selected from a list of proposals submitted by different institutions across Europe. This book reflects the multi-disciplinarity and interaction that took place in the meeting. By including reviews on space and ground-based observational programmes, the scientific topics are associated with the new observational efforts in instrumentation. These projects, under development, are expected to drive the research in the coming decades. With such a wide and interdisciplinary coverage this book provides a comprehensive review on the present status and expectations for some of the major fields in astrophysics. This work is of great relevance for students and researchers alike, as it provides an introductory approach to a wide range of fields in Astronomy, but also includes some detailed reviews for the major topics in each field.
Galaxy Evolution in Groups and Clusters
Galaxy groups and clusters provide excellent laboratories for studying galaxy properties in different environments and at different look-back times. In particular, the recent detections of high-redshift cluster candidates, only possible with the current high-technology instrumentation, add a new dimension to the problem. Along with the ever increasing computing power and sophisticated algorithms to model clusters of galaxies, it may help us to understand the origins of today's groups and clusters, as well as of their member galaxies. These workshop proceedings provide a snapshot of the current research in this subject, covering the observations, theory and numerical simulations relevant to galaxy evolution in groups and clusters. In this book, intended primarily to researchers in the field, particular emphasis is given to the recent impressive progress in the field, on important new results, and on the future prospects and open questions to be tackled.
Dragons of Vkani
Rescue mission to hostile planet of scaly aliens This science fiction story occurs on the two remote planets of Eden and Vkani. Peaceful Eden has an independent colony of humans from Terra and a small population of alien Atrapako with their spiky crest and scales colored by their class. When the Blue, Sa Kamizan Veedak, and Dr. Lucy Stannis receive a distress message from his sister, Veela, they must undertake the dangerous mission to rescue her from the war-torn planet of Vkani. As an exile, Sa Kamizan risks death if he is recognized, while the humans will face slavery or worse. The motley crew of Atrapako and human scientists will need all their skills to combat treachery by brutal warlords and survive the hostile environment. If you enjoy adventures with battles, betrayals, and scientific explorations, read Book 2 in the series, Atrapako on Eden. The meeting and earlier adventures of Sa Kamizan and Lucy are described in Book 1, The Lady is Blue.
The Sheikh Takes A Bride (Dynasties: The Connellys, Book 3) (Mills & Boon Desire)

Now Kaj needed every one of those talents to lure Princess Catherine of Altaria to the altar. One of the last remaining virgin royals, Catherine could fulfill the terms of Kaj's father's will.
Klara
Winston Churchill called the Hungarian Holocaust the worst crime in the history of humanity. That was 1944. It seems unlikely that many residents of Chicago's Ukrainian Village thought much about that event in 1977, when this story begins. Those who did think about it, would never have acknowledged it, or if forced to acknowledge it, would claim no clear memories of it. Klara, the protagonist of this novel, lived her life among such people, normal enough people. She was fairly happy, except for her dreams, dreams that churned up something terrible from her earliest years. Klara's aunt and uncle tried to comfort her after these dreams. They protected her, for she had no parents, but could not...
