  The beginner’s guide to online trading and stock investing.Welcome newbie — who wants to start trading and getting rich in the stock market...What if you were told that you’re losing your money right now...simply by not investing it? You would probably think “Argh, another scammer trying to con me into putting money in some false money-making opportunity". No, that’s not the case here!Whatever money you have lying around or saved in the bank is gradually losing its value due to “inflation” — resulting in the decreased buying power of the currency. To top it off, the middle class is diminishing with the poor getting poorer and the rich getting richer. For the latter group, however, there is a reason for that, because the rich know how to make their money work for them through smart investing.But why aren’t more people investing? The biggest hurdles are the unknown fear and information overload discouraging people, plus having to pay all those costly fees that people hate.Well, long gone are those days. Now with modern technology, more options, and better services, “do-it-yourself trading and investing” has never been easier and convenient. Online Trading and Stock Investing for Beginners will guide you through:The confusing common terminologies simplified and types of investments availableThe best stock trading platforms and brokerages with the crucial criteria to look forThe secret to generating huge wealth in investing through the power of compounding...on top everything else that beginners need to know.The best part is that this will take you from being a newbie who doesn’t know anything to purchasing your first stock afterward. It’s less academic and technical than most resources out there but rather more practical hands-on aimed at getting you started immediately. Begin your investment venture now!

  Types of Spaceships: Past...

  This book is the seventh volume of “The Living in Space Series”. Each volume focuses on one particular technology of living in space. In this book the focus is on spaceships used to access and travel in space. In my research I was pretty amazed at how many spaceships have been designed, the large number available in the current era, and that many more are already on the drawing boards. Some spaceships like the Space Shuttle seemed like a great idea back in the 1970s and 1980s. But due to the compromises in design were very expensive for each flight and kind of dangerous too. Even though the Space Shuttle was flown for over 30 years it was eventually cancelled because of cost issues. The newer transportation systems focus on lowering costs through reusability. This will lead to a much better long term paradigm for expanding people’s entry into space because of the lower costs reusability provides. I also needed to determine what types of ships to include in this book. What is a valid spaceship? My decision was to use the Von Karmen Line which says that a spaceship flown higher than 50 miles (80 km) has entered space. Using the Von Karmen Line includes one manned device—the X-15 experimental rocket plane as a spaceship although most people wouldn’t think so. Lastly, I’ve included some notional spaceship designs which might be used to travel to Mars or other bodies in the Solar System.

  Treatise on Light

  Treatise on Light was published in 1690 and is probably the largest scientific volume on light published before Newton's Opticks. The book explains how light travels (i.e., that it has a certain velocity), and what happens when it hits a surface (refraction and reflection). A large portion of the book is devoted to the double refraction occurring in Iceland chrystal, and all drawn conclusions are proved geometrically. Christiaan Huygens (1629 - 1695) was a prominent physicist and astronomer. His main discoveries are the centrifugal force, collision laws for bodies and the argument that light consists of waves. He was a contemporary of Galilei and Descartes, and a member of the French Royal Society since 1663. (Summary by Availle)

  For years, scientists and researchers have studied, speculated about, and searched for an enigmatic creature that is legendary in the annals of American folklore. Now, learn the truth about... BIGFOOT! In this fascinating and comprehensive look at the fact, fiction, and fable of the North American "Sasquatch," award-winning author Loren Coleman takes readers on a journey into America's biggest mystery -- could an unrecognized "ape" be living in our midst? Drawing on over forty years of investigations, interviews, and fieldwork on these incredible beasts, Coleman explores the modern debates about these powerful, ape-like creatures, why they have remained a mystery for so long, and what we can learn about ourselves from these animals, our nearest cousins!  From reports of Bigfoot's existence found in ancient Native American traditions, to the controversial Patterson-Gimlin film of a Bigfoot in the wild, to today's Internet sites that record the sightings almost as soon as they occur, Coleman uncovers the past, explains the present, and considers the future of one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in the natural world.

  The Death of Expertise - The...

  Tom Nichols

  People are now exposed to more information than ever before, provided both by technology and by increasing access to every level of education. These societal gains, however, have also helped fuel a surge in narcissistic and misguided intellectual egalitarianism that has crippled informed debates on any number of issues. Today, everyone knows everything and all voices demand to be taken with equal seriousness, and any claim to the contrary is dismissed as undemocratic elitism. Tom Nichols shows this rejection of experts has occurred for many reasons, including the openness of the internet, the emergence of a customer satisfaction model in higher education, and the transformation of the news industry into a 24-hour entertainment machine. Paradoxically, the increasingly democratic dissemination of information, rather than producing an educated public, has instead created an army of ill-informed and angry citizens who denounce intellectual achievement. Nichols notes that when ordinary citizens believe that no one knows more than anyone else, democratic institutions themselves are in danger of falling either to populism or to technocracy-or in the worst case, a combination of both.
