Books with author JEFFERSON DAVIS

Take a trip to tomorrow! With so many countries and private companies now heading into space, exploration will go farther than we ever dreamed possible. This adventurous book looks at current tools for space exploration and where future innovations in technology might be able to take us. Amazing artwork illustrates the scientific possibilities of sending human crews beyond the Moon, drilling on Europa, sending a nano-probe to TRAPPIST-1, and probing the dark reaches beyond Neptune.

Excerpt from The Veiled Doctor: A NovelThey had refused right of way, refused to contribute to the stock of the baby enter prise, refused everything, in short, and so successfully blocked its progress that a dif ferent route was decided upon, and the old town, under its canopy of trees, fell forever out of step with the vanguard of commerce. But the retired sea captains who formed its population congratulated each other upon the wisdom of their choice as they smoked in the tiny amphibious parlors among the rare shells and curios gathered in a life's cruising. So, bustling prosperity ebbed away, and, like the tide in the sluggish har bor, nobody noticed its going until it was beyond recall.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
