Excerpt from Comet Lore Halley's Comet in History and Astronomy Sun will surely rise and set to-morrow. Just so surely must a Comet flare forth in our Heavens this Spring. Star-gazers, astronomers and learned men have been waiting for this Comet all over the earth in America, in Europe, in far China. They have known for certain that this Comet would come; and they knew just when and where in the Heavens the Comet would first show itself to the naked eye - down to the very night. All this has been known so surely because this same Comet has been seen by the people of this earth before. It came and went seventy-four years ago. Seventy-six years before that, it came and went. And seventy-six years before that, the Comet had come and gone. As long as human beings have lived on this earth for - thousands and thousands of years - human eyes have beheld this same Comet every seventy-six years or so. The longest time between the Comets coming has been seventy-nine years. The shortest interval of all - 74/2 years - was this time. For thousands of years in the past, wise men have written down records of this Comet. Long, long ago, when white men were still savages who dwelt in caves, patient star-gazers in China and Chaldea studied the motions of this Comet.

Unlike the previous books of the series “FRASAR – An Improbable Life”, Book IV doesn’t have a Prologue describing a series of episodes, taking place around the year 2010. You will find instead the same episodes in Book IV, only this time in their correct chronological order. We should start however from the beginning: who is really Francis, the protagonist of the whole series? Francis is a person who has really existed and is still very active and not an imaginary personage out of a writer's creative mind. All the episodes described in the books actually took place on the dates given and, apart from a few characters whose names were changed or removed for reasons of privacy reasons, all characters are real people.

Bergmann’s Comet, Bk 3, builds on the two previous books: Batwing – Bergmann’s Commitment, Bk 1, and Bergmann’s Team, Bk 2, continuing the story of a trio of comets hurled out of the Oort Cloud threatening Earth’s civilizations. Bergmann’s small group assists Banderat and Striver vacuum grunts to divert the comets and minimize catastrophic terrestrial impact. Guy and Nita Bergmann join with a small group of ex-NASA astronauts to emplace crude drivers on the surface of Comet 1. The drives create a small lateral thrust redirecting the comet to just miss Earth. Two of the three comets are redirected to impact Mars: the first stage of a massive terraforming effort to prepare that second Human planet for a colony. Bergmann Ventures, Inc., Guy’s space venture, prepares for a post-comet growth phase that will place Humans in space permanently so they may interact with the Concordat’s Hub Planets and cultures. Bergmann’s Equestrian Venture, Bk 4, relates the first phase of the post-comet expansion into space with the introduction of horses to the concordat planet Baldon. Bergmann’s Orbitat, Bk 5, defines the construction of an orbital habitat at L5 allowing easy access to both the Lunar surface and Mars.

A magical, intoxicating debut novel, both intimate and epic, that intertwines the past, present, and future of two lovers bound by the passing of great comets overhead and a coterie of remarkable ancestors. Róisín and François are immediately drawn to each other when they meet at a remote research base on the frozen ice sheets of Antarctica. At first glance, the pair could not be more different. Older by a few years, Róisín, a daughter of Ireland and a peripatetic astronomer, joins the science team to observe the fracturing of a comet overhead. François, the base’s chef, has just left his birthplace in Bayeux, France, for only the second time in his life. Yet devastating tragedy and the longing for a fresh start, which they share, as well as an indelible but unknown bond that stretches back centuries, connect them to each other. Helen Sedgwick carefully unfolds their surprisingly intertwined paths, moving forward and back through time to reveal how these lovers’ destinies have long been tied to each other by the skies—the arrival of comets great and small. In telling Róisín and François’s story, Sedgwick illuminates the lives of their ancestors, showing how strangers can be connected and ghosts can be real, and how the way we choose to see the world can be as desolate or as beautiful as the comets themselves. A mesmerizing, skillfully crafted, and emotionally perceptive novel that explores the choices we make, the connections we miss, and the ties that inextricably join our fates, The Comet Seekers reflects how the shifting cosmos unite us all through life, beyond death, and across the whole of time.

One of the most basic laws of a web application is that the client, not the server, must initiate any communication between the two. There are a number of common–use cases where, ideally, the server would like to talk to the client—dashboards and monitoring apps, chat rooms and other collaborations, and progress reports on long–running processes. Comet (a.k.a. Reverse Ajax) provides a mechanism for enabling this. Comet is moderately complex to implement. But this practical, hands–on book gets you going. In Part 1 of this book, we start by examining the use cases, and look at the simple alternatives to Comet and how far they can satisfy your needs. In some situations, though, only Comet will do. In Part 2, we demonstrate how to set up and run a Comet–based application. With this book, be a part of the next generation, Ajax 2.0.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY KIRKUS REVIEWS From the acclaimed author of Letter to My Daughter comes an engrossing coming-of-age tale that deftly conveys the hopes and heartaches of adolescence and the unfulfilled dreams that divide a family, played out against the backdrop of a small southern town in 1973. For his fourteenth birthday, Alan Broussard, Jr., receives a telescope from his father, a science teacher at the local high school who’s eagerly awaiting what he promises will be the astronomical event of the century: the coming of Comet Kohoutek. For Alan Broussard, Sr.—frustrated in his job, remote from his family—the comet is a connection to his past and a bridge to his son, with whom he’s eager to share his love for the stars. But the only heavenly body Junior has any interest in is his captivating new neighbor and classmate, Gabriella Martello, whose bedroom sits within eyeshot of his telescope’s lens. Meanwhile, his mother, Lydia, sees the comet—and her husband’s obsession with it—as one more thing that keeps her from the bigger, brighter life she once imagined for herself far from the swampy environs of Terrebonne, Louisiana. With Kohoutek drawing ever closer, the family begins to crumble under the weight of expectations, until a startling turn of events will leave both father and son much less certain about the laws that govern their universe. Illuminating and unforgettable, The Night of the Comet is a novel about the perils of growing up, the longing for connection, and the idea that love and redemption can be found among the stars. Praise for The Night of the Comet “A quiet, occasionally bittersweet novel about the differences between desire and disappointment, expectations and reality.”—Booklist “Coming-of-age novels examine youthful revelations about the world—filled with cynicism and wonder and rearranged expectations—and the quality hinges on the honesty of the voice, the truth of the observations, the handling of innocence lost; Bishop succeeds on all these fronts.”—Kirkus Reviews “Resonant . . . explores the complexities of a father-son relationship through science, astronomy, and the growing pains of adolescence. . . . Bishop’s characterizations of young Alan’s mother, father, and sister Megan are endearing and their relentless coddling of their maturing son is wincingly accurate.”—Publishers Weekly “Hilarious and heart-wrenching, ethereal and earthy, The Night of the Comet points us to the fragile universe of dreams and disappointments, joy and tragedy, saying here it is, all of it: feast your eyes on the magic. It’s a heavenly book. Nobody writes about the gravitational pull of parent-child relationships—all that we yearn for and all that we can’t have—like George Bishop.”—Minrose Gwin, author of The Queen of Palmyra “Equally sweet and sad, this is a fine novel of love and forgiveness.”—Stewart O’Nan, author of Snow Angels “Bishop’s one of our best, and this book’s a quiet marvel.”—Josh Russell, author of Yellow Jack “A deft, clear-eyed, and sensitive examination of the mysterious bonds of family, the allure of the unattainable, and love and desire—and their consequences—in all their many forms.”—Ellen Baker, author of I Gave My Heart to Know This
