A floating blanket of self-replicating nanomachines has spread across the Earth’s oceans. As it consumes CO2 from atmosphere and water, it is suffocating marine life, and causing famine and social chaos. This environmental catastrophe will doom mankind unless stopped. The nanomachines' startling complexity has scientists baffled. Identifying its source has investigators stumped. No lab admits error. No terrorist claims credit. Time is running out. A search is on for a fugitive nanotech engineer suspected of being the terrorist. Scott Eastman, a disgraced DHS analyst eager to redeem himself, schemes to use the suspect’s ex-girlfriend. Eager to become a hero, he must choose between his duty, his honor, and his growing suspicion that the prime suspect is innocent, yet may still hold the key to ending the plague. There is no room for error.

"This table contains the predicted times and heights of the high and low waters for each day of the year at a number of places, which are designated as reference stations.

The Yachtsman's Tidal Atlas, covering the English Channel, Southern North Sea and Bristol Channel, is a comprehensive aid to accurate navigation. In 2 colour for the first time, and compiled from a number of different sources including tide tables, tidal stream atlases, pilot books and charts, The Yachtsman's Manual of Tides provides clear tidal stream information in an easy to read format. All boaters will appreciate the large format, well laid out tidal stream charts with their detailed coverage and easy to read strength arrows. 'A superb navigational aid...this handy paperback is a well-proven aid to passage-planning.' Yachting Monthly 'Whether for cross-Channel planning or coastal cruising, many yachtsmen would not be without their Reeve-Fowkes.' Practical Boat Owner

At a time when public attention is focused on the environment, while simultaneously society is increasing at an ever-accelerating rate its demand electrical power, the possibility of utilizing the power of the oceans by for pollution free tidal power generation is most attractive. Tidal power has been used to a limited extent over several centuries but only recently has any sig nificant effort been dedicated to realizing some of the vast potential. The first pilot project at La Rance has now been operating successfully for several years and the second experimental station using up-dated construc tion techniques has been in operation at Kislaya Guba since 1969. These projects have contributed valuable experience and establish the technical feasibility of this important source of electrical power, while providing guid ance in those areas requiring further development to realize economic viability. More than fifty sites can be readily identified around the world where tidal power schemes could realistically be developed. With improvements in technology, this number might well be extended by utilization of a large number of river estuaries. Such developments must be considered not only on the basis of the production of electrical power but also in respect of associated benefits. Considerable bodies of water would be partially confined, thereby improving recreational facilities as has already been experienced at La Rance.

In the quest fantasy Tides of the Titans, part of Aurealis and Ditmar Award-winning author Thoraiya Dyer's extraordinary Titan's Forest series, trees loom large as skyscrapers, mortals can be reborn as gods, and a young man travels to the far reaches of the land and beyond to unlock the Forest's hidden secrets... Courtier, explorer, thief: Leaper is a man of many skills, but none of his talents satisfy the yearning in his heart for the Queen of Airakland, the ruler of a thunder-clashed kingdom. Their affair is cut too short, however, when she is murdered. But who was the assassin? A political rival? The jealous king? Or, perhaps, the god of thunder who oversees them all? Distraught, Leaper vows revenge, but little does he realize that his mission will lead him away from his forest home, across the vast floodplains, and to the edges of time and myth itself.
