The Cosmic Code: Quantum Physics as the Language of Nature
by Heinz R. PagelsDescribes the development of the quantum theory of the atom. Describes "The Voyage into Matter." Physicists, extending human consciousness into the farthest reaches of space and time, deep into the structure of matter, find that beyond the molecule and atom lies a new realm. The core of the atom is the nucleus. Describes the nature of physical laws and how physicists find them. This part also contains some personal reflections on the meaning of the scientific enterprise--that through the activity of science and technology the discovered order of the universe, what I call the cosmic code, becomes a program for historical change.
Cosmic Echelon
by John Glasby Berl CameronThe vast federation of outworld states that formed the Terran Empire smarted under the unjust, evil influence of the Emperor Jrun. Daily, his tax-gatherers swooped down on the member planets, wringing the people dry of money and goods. But away from the decadent shell that Jrun had built up, out among the lonely suns of the Edge, a new power was growing. It had fallen on Kelda, the young star-king of Zandyr to form the union known as the Cosmic Echelon. A fleet of ships that dared to match the armed might of Imperial Terra.The ultimate weapon belonged to Jrun, a battleship which no power could withstand, and a force that could shatter the bodies of men.Here, you can follow Kelda and his warrior princess, Irrena, through the star-strewn wastes of Space; across the Dark Gap in which the empty wrecks of once proud vessels floated forever, manned by crews long-dead.And realise as Jrun did, that there are two kinds of laws. Those made by Man himself, which can be broken - and the laws of the Universe, which are inviolate.

At least, not until she meets a virile, muscular human intent on rescuing her (how quaint!) from a bar brawl. And while at first Kia just wants undercover cop Nick Scericino to help locate her cousin. . . well, it would be a shame to come all this way without finding out whether everything really is bigger in Texas. . . Nick knows trouble when he sees it. And right now, trouble is sitting at the bar--black-clad, sexy as hell, and about to mess up his sting operation to take down some Russian mobsters. Could she have mafia connections? Kias certainly not like any woman hes known--flat out demanding sex, and following through with a sensational romp that leaves his mind blown and world rocked. Other options: a) shes crazy, or b) shes not kidding about being an alien. In which case, hes in even deeper trouble. Because the only thing worse than falling wildly in lust with someone whos not playing with a full holodeck is the thought that shell soon be leaving for a galaxy far, far away. . . Karen Kelley lives in a small Texas town with her husband and their very spoiled Pekingese, six Koi fish, and various wild birds that eat way too much. Shes also a collector of junk which she fondly refers to as antiques. Her motto in life is to enjoy each moment of it. She would be happy to hear from her readers at kkelley@classicnet. net.
