“S. P. Kumar's first novel, Cave of Mystic Dreams, will impress you in its own right, and even more so when you discover that its author is a 12-year-old middle-school student. Kumar introduces us to a world of adventures as we witness the trio of young protagonists travel to a parallel world to pursue a quest that has been forced upon them. While always aware of certain powers they possessed, Claire, Jason, and Zac did not understand why until they were plucked from their ordinary lives to aid in a fight against evil which they little understand. Armed with little more than their unusual talents and keen intellects, the three young friends have a surprising amount of acumen and fortitude to forge ahead even when confronted with seemingly impossible tests and challenges. Despite the other worldly fantasies of monsters, magic, potions, and special powers, the emotions and moral dilemmas they share are poignant and will ring true not only to middle-school readers but also to adventure and fantasy fans of all ages. Kumar is a natural storyteller, and her richly drawn characters and intriguing setting will delight all who enter her mystical world.”—Dr. Holly J. Bauer, University of California, San Diego

About BooksNanoTechnologyNanoTech is the art and science of manipulating matter at the NanoScale. NanoTech is the study of manipulating matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally, NanoTech deals with developing materials, devices, or other structures with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 NanoMeters. The word Nano means "Dwarf" One NanoMeter (nm) is one out of Billionth of a meter (10- 9m)Nanotechnology we are concerned with natural and synthetic materials in the size range of 1–100 nm. At such a small size, very familiar classical, Newtonian mechanics or thermodynamics are not able to explain the observed properties of materials. We have to use quantum mechanics sometimes directly and sometimes through subjects like solid state physics or chemistry which use it to explain the properties and phenomenon of different materials. Quantum mechanics and how it got developed so that it can be used to understand atoms, molecules, solids and nanomaterials. gives some historical milestones, which have led to quantum mechanics.Overview on NanotechnologyNanotechnology Definition, Historical Milestones, Old Quantum Theory Period, Modern Quantum Theory Begins, NanoTechnology Timeline, Premodern Examples of nanotechnologies, What is so special about Nanoscale?, Scale at which Quantum effects dominate of properties of materials, Scale at which much of Biology occurs, Scale at which surfaces and interfaces play a large role in Material properties and interactions, Size of Nanoscale, What is the future of NanoTechnology in Food? , Significance of the NanoscaleNew MaterialsNanomaterials, Defining Nanomaterials.
