  Understand the fundamentals of electrical power systems with this accessible guide 
   
  Few subjects are more fundamental to modern life than electrical power. The systems that generate, transport, and distribute electricity are among the most essential contributors to modern industry, development, and everyday living. As energy demand grows and, with it, the electric power industry, more and more non-electrical professionals must make important policy and administrative decisions regarding the systems that power our world. 
   
  Electric Power System Basics for the Nonelectrical Professional provides an education on the basics of this subject, including the various types of energy sources, types of transmission and distribution lines, grid modernization, and much more. From residential to industrial energy, and from metering principles to energy conservation techniques, this book provides a one-stop reference on all relevant areas of knowledge. Now fully updated to reflect the latest advances and the current state of a growing industry, it is a must-own for anyone looking to bring foundational power systems knowledge to bear on policy or industrial issues. 
   
  Readers of the third edition will also find: 
   
  Coverage of wildfire mitigation strategies to reduce safety risk 
  Detailed discussion of regulatory changes and their effects on system operations 
  Updated coverage of system reliability and smart technologies 
  Updated discussion of the transitioning digital power grid 
  Electric Power System Basics for the Nonelectrical Professional is ideal for power industry executives and state regulators.

  Younger Dryas Period The: The...

  From about 12,900 to 11,700 before present (BP), near Ice Age conditions returned to the Northern Hemisphere of the planet. It was a sudden shift from the warm temperatures that had prevailed for nearly 2,000 years. This period is referred to by archaeologists, geologists, and earth scientists as the Greenland Stadial, but it is more commonly known as the Younger Dryas. The Younger Dryas marked the end of the last glacial period, the end of the Pleistocene Era, and the beginning of the Holocene Era, which is the current era. It was a period of great change, when climate change happened quite quickly, directly affecting the flora, fauna, and humans of the Northern Hemisphere in the process. The impact on the human populations was perhaps most important because, in some places, it virtually destroyed emerging cultures, while in other places, it might have propelled humans to develop new survival traits and technologies later used to move humanity into the Neolithic era. Although scholars now know quite a bit about the Younger Dryas, many elements of it are still debated. Other aspects serve as a predictor of what humans can expect in the future. 
  	There is, however, still plenty of information about the Younger Dryas that remains unknown or open to debate. Not all scholars agree on the dates of the Younger Dryas or how long it lasted. Even more controversial are the alternate theories about what caused the Younger Dryas and the effect it had on the Northern Hemisphere’s bio-populations. This book examines the background of the Younger Dryas, its effects on bio-populations, and how it contributed to the emergence of the Neolithic Era. Alternative theories will be examined and compared to more standard ideas currently prevailing in academia.

  Birth of Modern Astronomy The:...

  As interesting as the stories about Tycho Brahe are, chances are he wouldn’t be remembered if not for the important work he did, especially in the realm of astronomy. He lived in an era when the intellectual worldview of most in northern Europe was medieval in nature, influenced mostly by spirituality, mysticism, religion, and metaphysics. Brahe, however, was far-thinking in his outlook, taking advantages of the latest technological ideas and practicing empiricism to revolutionize the field of science. This work eventually led Brahe to cross paths with Johannes Kepler, whose laws on planetary motion would change everything.  
  Trying to define a man who had the qualities of a mathematician, astronomer, philosopher, inventor, and astrologer can prove difficult. But all of that can be ascribed to Johannes Kepler, one of the giants of his era who ushered in the Scientific Revolution and is often considered the first modern scientist. Kepler stood at a moment in time when the intellectual worldview of most in northern Europe was medieval in nature. Kepler, however, was far-thinking in his outlook. 
  	In his lifetime, Galileo straddled the epochs of the Renaissance and the Scientific Revolution, and it was his work and technological advances that helped usher in a brand new understanding of the solar system and the scientific method. Stephen Hawking himself has asserted, “Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science." Of course, part of what made Galileo such a monumental figure was the fact that he was ahead of his time, and that he mostly refused to conform to the accepted dogmas of contemporary society.  
  In 1676, Sir Isaac Newton wrote in a letter, “If I have seen further it is by standing on ye sholders of Giants.” By the time he died, Newton had become science’s greatest giant, and every scientist who has followed him has stood on his shoulders.

  THE OCCULTED MODEL OF TIME AND THE TEMPORAL STORMS THREATENING OUR REALITY 
  Finally, a way out of Plato’s Cave. 
  Shattering the cavern walls with rigorous, groundbreaking physics, Tempestates Temporalis is the blueprint for a new era. As anomalous high strangeness becomes the new normal, theoretical physics must finally account for what it has long ignored: phenomenology, parapsychology, and ancient occult technologies. 
  In this provocative work, D.J. Rees introduces the Resonant Actuation of Fluid Time (RAFT)—a radical framework that replaces our static understanding of spacetime with a dynamic, fluid reality. Rees argues that our universe’s ground state is a Time-First Fluid Substrate known as the "Pleroma." This temporal ocean doesn't just surround us; it pummels against our consensus reality, shaping existence itself. 
  Why you must read Tempestates Temporalis: 
  A New Reality: Discover a model where time is a literal, flowing ocean. See how physical matter—previously viewed as "dead rocks"—emerges as stable, self-organizing vortex solitons within this vast, temporal fluid. 
  The Unification of the Impossible: Bridging the gap between mainstream science and the unexplained. Explore how fluid dynamics equations explain Dark Matter, the Hubble tension, UAP flight telemetry, remote viewing, and the Mandela Effect under one unifying theory. 
  The dam has broken. The Pleroma is rising. 
  Are you ready to stop observing the waves and start riding them? Whether you dive into the pages or immerse yourself in the audio journey, you are stepping onto the deck. Take the helm of the RAFT and perceive the universe for what it truly is: a continuous, breathing ocean of infinite potential.
