Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Paleontologists and geologists are interested in the ages of fossils, rocks,and minerals, from which they deduce the ages of geologic strata in theGeologic Column. Scientists make use of radioactive dating methods, such asthe radioactive decays of carbon 14, uranium 238, and thorium 232 in fossilsand minerals. Accurate age determinations depend on knowing the rate of theradioactive emissions and the relative amounts of initial and productelements in the decay series. However, if an interfering nuclear change tookplace earlier, the perceived age of the earth deposit would have to bewrong.In 1989, the discovery of cold fusion-the fusion of hydrogen to make heliumand energy inside metal electrodes at room temperature-was announced by Drs.Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons at the University of Utah. Soon after,cold fusion research also revealed that nuclear transmutations, forming manynew elements, occur liberally. Even purposely-added radioactive uranium andthorium in cold fusion-type cells resulted in transmutations, and thedisappearance of up to 95 percent of the radioactivity in hours or minutes.In addition, special water pumps, invented in America and Europe, werediscovered to generate 'excess heat' and possible nuclear effects byintensely agitating water and creating 'cavitation bubbles.'In Carbon Dating, Cold Fusion, and a Curve Ball, the author postulatesinterfering nuclear (element) changes occurring in the Earth, and proposesthat extensive element transmutations occurred from intense hydrodynamicsduring the Flood of Noah (Genesis 6-8). If so, it is conceivable muchalteration of radioactive elements took place, rendering unreliable theradioactive dating results in most analyses done today. A relatively simpletest of this theory is outlined. The test would use a piece of bismuthmetal, a tank of water, and a boat's outboard motor.The book is written for the non-scientist, but those trained in the physicalsciences or engineering are invited to examine the new hypothesis of Earth'selement transmutations and the consequential alteration of dating earthmaterial by radioactive elements. …

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Two Heartbeats Away unveils two plots to murder U. S. government officials. Arab terrorists set out to murder the President and Vice President in order for the half-Arab Speaker of the House of Representatives to ascend to Oval Office. At the same time, a senior U. S. Congressman hires a team of racist mercenaries to kill the House Speaker because he resents having a half-Arab two heartbeats from the presidency--behind the Vice President and President. Neither group is aware of the other's intentions. When the terrorists succeed, the congressman steps up his efforts to have the new President assassinated. This story illustrates how political maneuvering and ethnic bias can change abruptly the leadership of the world's most powerful democracy. Two Heartbeats Away was conceived and partially written prior to the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and is eerily prophetic. …

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Book I, The Lady of Athenia, deals with a 23-year-old widowed Southern Belle, punished by vengeful Union Officers who order the destruction of her Mississippi plantation, Athenia, forcing the now destitute Davida Julianna Asherton to head West. After much hardship, she finds herself in the middle of a conspiracy to murder President Andrew Johnson.Book II, The Bright Sentinel, concerns a 17-year-old emancipated slave. Her story covers Maryland plantation life, the cruelty of her Scottish father, and her perilous escape to Washington, D.C. The Creole beauty is enmeshed in a political scandal, grabs blackmail money and hurriedly boards the first stagecoach West. She meets her future husband, a gun-toting cattle ranch foreman, and both are hired by the government to discredit the leader of the Crow Indians, who are threatening to overrun Wyoming-Dakota Territory.Book III, Flaxen-Haired Warrior, focuses on a German Count's family destroyed in the 1870 Franco-Prussian War. 19-year-old Countess Lisl Maria Von Ost flees toward France. An expert swordswoman, she is forced to kill three enemy soldiers who attacked her. Hired assassins chase her through warring France and neutral Belgium. Fleeing for her life, she finds ship's passage to America and discovers that paid killers pursue her even there. Desperate, Maria escapes into the western frontier.…
