Genesis II Colonization of Earth II Alpha Centaur


Book Description

About the Book With a fascinating mixture of fact and fiction, Genesis II maps the course of mankind and his development of a unique propulsion system that makes the ambitious plan to colonize the far reaches of space possible. So far, mankind has developed tiny rockets with exploring devices that have landed on or have gone by other planets and sent back information, but we have only put man in space and on the moon. With research, we’ve learned water is one of the most common substances in outer space; all the asteroids and comets are full of it. In addition, Alpha Centauri has three suns, is our closest star, and has planets of its own. A unique fission engine and rocket ship using uranium ore and water as propulsion will carry humanity to Alpha Centauri. Yes, it will travel at two million miles per hour, exhausting 3000 tonnes of water 180 times, and yes, it will take 1300 years to get there. Read Genesis II and experience this stellar adventure. About the Author John Lincoln was a keen scuba diver and spear fisherman. He obtained a degree in Ocean Engineering in 1974 and worked for other companies in Nova Scotia, Louisiana, Texas, and Australia as a designer and manager of offshore oil and gas and steam power plant facilities. He started his own businesses in 1994—Lincoln Consulting and OES (Ocean Engineering Systems.) OES through innovation became the world’s largest and most prolific subsea pipeline trenching company http://www.oes.net.au/. Lincoln is semiretired while his son runs the company from Australia. Lincoln enjoys writing books and goes diving occasionally and lives a secluded good life with his wife in Key Largo.




Genesis II


Book Description

Continue the adventure of humanity’s first ever colonization of another planet in book three of Genesis II: Colonization of Earth II: Alpha Centauri. After generations spent in space, the colonists reach their destination and dub it Earth II. Continuing the work of learning about their new home, the colonists must learn about sea levels, how harsh winter can be, and possibly about past meteor strikes. Their neighbors, the Annunaki Aliens, decide the rapid birth rate of humans could soon negatively impact them, so they make plans to relocate to their own area farther away. Continued explorations, the arrivals of more humans, and threats from clans of Pygmies add to the mysteries and trials faced by humans and aliens alike. This is the conclusion to the Genesis II Trilogy where mankind is sent to Alpha Centauri our closest star with a planet we can see which is presumably habitable. In the book it is and is similar to Earth in climate and plant and animal life and they name it Earth II. They settle four continents over a 1200 year period. They find primitive humans which shocks the Christian Foundation back on Earth I. About the Author John Lincoln, an American living overseas for forty years, is an engineer and Earth Scientist, the founding father and key inventor of the OES Group equipment and services. www.oes.net.au Before John was thirty years old he had nearly died underwater six times diving in caves, run over by a huge ship, fell off a ship floating alone in the Ocean and as a diver on a commercial oil and gas project. John as a scientist has proved the Einstein Lorenz transmutation equations wrong, that Global warming ended in 1035 and that carbon is too small to make a difference and has discovered why the Universe is expanding.

Stories in Stone


Book Description

Between the second and the sixth centuries of the common era, elaborate mosaics were designed and created to pave the floors of town homes and rural estates of the Roman settlements in North Africa. These stunning mosaics were especially widespread in the colony of Africa Proconsularis, modern-day Tunisia, and covered a wide range of subject matter: from scenes of daily life and classical mythology, to abstract floral and geometric designs of rare vibrancy and complexity. A distinctive African style emerged, whose influence would extend throughout the Mediterranean basin and beyond. This catalogue is being published to coincide with an exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Villa from October 26, 2006, to April 30, 2007--the first major exhibition in the United States solely devoted to ancient mosaics. The twenty-seven mosaics in the exhibition come from Tunisia's leading museums, including the Bardo Museum in Tunis, the Sousse Museum and the El Jem Museum. Stories in Stone is structured around four principal themes--Nature, Theater and Spectacle, Myths and Gods, and Technique--and includes extensive material on mosaic conservation. In addition to color plates of all objects in the exhibit, this catalogue includes nine richly illustrated essays that illuminate the historical background of mosaic art, trace the development of principal themes, and examine the conservation of mosaics both in the museum setting and in situ. Contributors include Taher Ghalia, director of the Bardo Museum; Mongi Ennaifer, minister of cultural affairs, Tunisia; Thomas Roby, senior project specialist, Getty Conservation Institute; and Jerry Podany, head of antiquities conservation, J. Paul Getty Museum.

Pale Blue Dot


Book Description

“Fascinating . . . memorable . . . revealing . . . perhaps the best of Carl Sagan’s books.”—The Washington Post Book World (front page review) In Cosmos, the late astronomer Carl Sagan cast his gaze over the magnificent mystery of the Universe and made it accessible to millions of people around the world. Now in this stunning sequel, Carl Sagan completes his revolutionary journey through space and time. Future generations will look back on our epoch as the time when the human race finally broke into a radically new frontier—space. In Pale Blue Dot, Sagan traces the spellbinding history of our launch into the cosmos and assesses the future that looms before us as we move out into our own solar system and on to distant galaxies beyond. The exploration and eventual settlement of other worlds is neither a fantasy nor luxury, insists Sagan, but rather a necessary condition for the survival of the human race. “Takes readers far beyond Cosmos . . . Sagan sees humanity’s future in the stars.”—Chicago Tribune
