Visionary sci-fi/fantasy.  Moments after learning that he holds the key to the unimaginably powerful 5th force, Michael is attacked by men sent by arms dealer Rockshaw—who wants the secret of the 5th force for himself—or Michael dead. With only seconds to spare Michael is rescued by the unknown—but strangely familiar Elle—who uses telekinetic powers and a stolen motorcycle to race him to safety. Michael soon discovers that he is Elle’s timeless companion and has been reborn once more as leader of the spiritually advanced Protectors guided by the immortal Atri and Atria. As Michael regains his powers—and reawakens crucial life memories of Galileo, Gandhi, Newton, and Einstein—Michael and Elle shape-shift into new identities and surreptitiously use their powers to extract a scientist from North Korea, raid Rockshaw’s secret labs in Essen, and hijack a supercomputer, in an all out sprint to discover the 5th force. Meanwhile an unknown betrayer is attempting to deliver them—and the secret of the 5th force—into Rockshaw’s hands.  "The Protectors Diaries provide page-turning reads, but these books are much more than a great fantasy/thriller series. They say there is truth in fiction, and amidst the action, Selbie manages to weave in an uplifting and compelling vision of our own high spiritual potentials. The first in series, The Fifth Force, gets off to a rocketing start and is continued in the second, The Six. The series skillfully combines leading-edge science, ancient history, contemporary issues, telepathy, levitation, great characters, love, and loyalty. Engaging and inspiring. You'll be glad you couldn't put them down." Graham Hancock author of War God: Nights of the Witch and Fingerprints of the Gods

"You couldn't ask for a fairer-minded, better-informed, or more enjoyable guide." --Elle As a former welfare father who is also an ordained Baptist minister and a Princeton Ph.D., Michael Eric Dyson is one of those rare intellectuals who act not only as interpreters between black and white America but as bridges between the academy and the street. In this brave, bracing, and vastly readable book, he identifies the hidden rules that govern interactions between the races and within black communities, poisoning our language, our politics, and our thinking. From the O. J. Simpson trial to the generational politics of gangsta rap, and from Colin Powell to Louis Farrakhan, Dyson takes on the most contentious issues of the 1990s. Again and again he shows us that, in a society that prides itself on being color-blind, race is more important--and more pernicious--than ever. Filled with eloquence and erudition, wit and moral common sense, Race Rules is an invaluable guide to the America we really live in as well as a redemptive vision of the one we want for our children. "Dyson's insightful analysis comes to life on topics ranging from hip-hop culture to black leadership. " --Atlanta Journal &amp; Constitution

This book covers the fundamentals of drilling and reservoir appraisal for petroleum. Split into three sections, the first looks at the basic principles of well engineering in terms of planning, design and construction. It then goes on to describe well safety, costs and operations management. The second section is focussed on drilling and core analysis, and the laboratory measurement of the physico-chemical properties of samples. It is clear that efficient development of hydrocarbon reservoirs is highly dependent on understanding these key properties, and the data can only be gathered through a carefully conducted core-analysis program, as described. Finally, in the third section we look at production logging, an essential part of reservoir appraisal, which describes the nature and the behaviour of fluids in or around the borehole. It describes how to know, at a given time, phase by phase, and zone by zone, how much fluid is coming out of or going into the formation.
As part of the Imperial College Lectures in Petroleum Engineering, and based on a lecture series on the same topic, Drilling and Reservoir Appraisal provides the introductory information needed for students of the earth sciences, petroleum engineering, engineering and geoscience.

Since its inception in the 1970s, hip hop music and the culture surrounding it has become a hugely influential and popular musical form in America and around the world. Its popularity extends beyond the urban centers where it was born, and pervades and influences youth culture around the globe. However, few artists have created serious and powerful photographs that explore the breadth of the phenomenon. With this volume, David Scheinbaum has done just that. His portraits of Erykah Badu, Chuck D., George Clinton, Common, Mos Def, Del-Tha Funkee Homosapien, Sage Francis, Professor Griff, KRS One, Mike Relm, Tajai, Wu-Tang Clan and Yelawolf (among others) approach hip hop as a positive cultural influence akin to the youth movement of the 1960s. Scheinbaum’s photographs are accompanied by essays by Gaye Theresa Johnson and Michael Eric Dyson, an artist conversation with Frank H. Goodyear III and an introduction by Brian Hardgroove of Public Enemy.
