Richard Smyth

'Generous, moving and alive. A gift' - Tim Dee, author of Greenery
'Intelligent, thought-provoking and always, always interesting' - Cal Flyn, author of Islands of Abandonment
'Smyth writes with warmth and engaging perception about our relationship and understanding of the natural world on our doorsteps' - Jon Dunn, author of The Glitter in the Green
'Fresh and tender and playful' - Patrick Galbraith, author of In Search of One Last Song
Weren't they richer, rock pools, wasn't the seashore busier, when I was a kid?

Richard Smyth had always been drawn to the natural world, but when he became a father he found a new joy and a new urgency in showing his kids the everyday wild things around them. As he and his children explore rockpools in Whitley Bay, or the woods and moors near his Yorkshire home, he imagines the world they might inhabit as they grow up.

Through different objects discovered on their wanderings - a beech leaf, a jay feather, a limpetshell - Smyth examines his own past as well as that of the early natural historians, weaving together history, memoir, and environmentalism to form a new kind of nature writing: one that asks both what we have lost, and what we have yet to find.

Simulation of Some Power...

Dr. Hidaia Mahmood Alassoulii

Matlab SimPowerSystems is a modern design tool that allows scientists and engineers to rapidly and easily build models that simulate power systems. Not only can you draw the circuit topology rapidly, but your analysis of the circuit can include interactions with mechanical, thermal, control, and other disciplines. The paper covers some case studies that provide detailed, realistic examples of how to use SimPowerSystems in power system analysis. The following types of studies are covered on the paper:1. Thyristor-Based Static Var Compensator: Study the steady-state and dynamic performance of a static var compensator (SVC) on a transmission system.2. Transient Stability of a Power System with SVC and PSS: Study of the application of static var compensator (SVC) and power system stabilizers (PSS) to improve transient stability and power oscillation damping of the system. 3. GTO-Based STATCOM: Study the steady-state and dynamic performance of a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) on a transmission system.  4. Control of load flow using UPFC: Study the steady-state and dynamic performance of a unified power flow controller (UPFC).5. Variable-frequency Induction Motor Drive: Study of a PWM inverter is used as a variable-voltage, variable-frequency source to drive an induction motor in variable-speed operation.6. Chopper-Fed DC Motor Drive: Study of a DC motor drive with armature voltage controlled by a GTO thyristor chopper.7. VSC-Based HVDC Link: Modeling of a forced-commutated voltage-sourced converter high-voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) transmission link.

Quarks of Light - A Near-Death...

Rob A. Gentile

At the age of 56, Rob A. Gentile had a massive heart attack followed by a profound near-death experience. On his journey to heart transplant, he was close to death again and entered the Ethereal a second time. He found himself inside a shapeless, formless vacuum of unending and infinite vastness. He was everywhere at once, scattered across a timeless expanse and connected to the wisdom of the universe—all of it without words. 
He saw and simultaneously became part of a gigantic interactive web of twinkling lights covering the Earth and stretching into infinity. Curiously, some parts of the web were brighter, some dim, and some completely dark. He later came to believe that this web represents a network that binds us all and is built upon quarks—the smallest elements of matter, and which are made of light. 
While in the Ethereal, he understood that each quark of light symbolized a life. He realized that if he hurt himself, he hurt everything connected to him, but if he loved, the light would spread. Rob also saw his daughter with special needs, perfect, whole and radiant. 
The most important message he received was of unity, oneness, and our real identity. 
In Quarks of Light, Rob shares his journey and provides a roadmap for overcoming adversity, staying in spirit, and connecting to the Universal language of love and light.

Self-Editing on a Penny - A...

Ashlyn Forge

You've just written a book—a masterpiece, the next great classic, the single piece of literature that's going to be required reading a hundred years from now long after you're good and dead and most of mankind has been replaced by robots. But...now what? 
Can you afford an editor? How do you decide on a good one? And how much of it can you do by yourself? 
  
Grammar  
Style  
Syntax  
Plot Development  
Proofreading  
Formatting  
And cost-saving methods  
  
Self-Editing on a Penny was written by an independent author FOR independent authors. Don't make the same costly mistakes I've made. Self-Edit first. 
  
Reviews 
"Not to mention most grammar and self-editing books on the shelves today are stuffy snore fests. Much to my surprise and delight this does not fall into the category. I dare say this guide is engaging from beginning to end." - Josh Byrley 
"The information is presented in a way that, unlike other style guides, won't leave you sobbing in confusion or brain-dead from grammar-related terminology dumps. Her examples are inventive but easy to understand." - K.t. Hoyet 
"What makes Self-Editing On A Penny stand out, is that Forge uses her snark and sass to illustrate how to successfully edit your project. Her examples are clever and short to the point, and her explanations aren't bogged down in extraneously detail. If it's your first time finishing a novel, be good to yourself and pick up Self-Editing On a Penny. It will save your sanity." - K. Sholty
