Nobody''s talking. But something has gone terribly wrong. Seven researchers are sealed inside Solarium-3, a huge self-sustaining science complex, to see if life can survive in a completely closed, man-made environment. But after a few weeks, something goes wrong. Their air inside turns foul and will quickly become fatal. Frantic attempts to solve the problem fail. Desperate, they beg Project Control to release them. Control says no - but won''t say why. Then comes the horrifying truth.

Hanging By A Thread Everything went wrong. INSIDE Solarium-3 (Book One of the Trilogy) a research team was to sustain life in a completely closed, man-made ecosystem. Then came the devastating news. Trapped in their air-tight prison, the Solarians cling to life. Two children have been born. Another is on the way. Will the huge, plastic Solarium protect them? For how long? Then comes a new terror, a crack in the roof of the main pod. Poisonous air may be seeping in from OUTSIDE. Their lives, and the future of their children, are now on the line. If it''s no longer safe INSIDE, what will they risk?

Life In The Midst Of Death. In Haeven (Book Two), the Solarians and their children have struggled to survive INSIDE Solarium-3 against insurmountable odds. Mankind''s desire for a better world is now nothing but a bad dream. Life has become the perfect exercise in futility. Daily they wonder, Why go on? Forced OUTSIDE to repair an air leak in the main pod, they faced new risks and old horrors. Searching for answers, they have begun to explore what seems an utterly godforsaken planet. Now, a day''s journey has brought four of the Solarians to the ruins of Colorado Springs where unforeseen events drive them to the summit of Pikes Peak. Then comes a mystifying, staggering confrontation. Life is about to take an unexpected turn, new realities are about to erupt around them-and the last thing they ever imagined will be the greatest surprise of all.

Tell el-Hesi is located near the modern city of Qiryat Gat in the Southern District of Israel, 23 kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea. The site, which covers 35–40 acres, includes both an acropolis and a lower city. Occupation of the site began as early as the Neolithic period, and the city grew significantly during the Early Bronze Age before being abandoned until the Late Bronze Age. The latest phase of occupation occurred during the Hellenistic period. The acropolis was in use for almost two thousand years. This volume is the first in a new iteration of the Joint Archaeological Expedition to Tell el-Hesi series that builds on previously published volumes. It publishes a final report for part of one of Tell el-Hesi’s excavation fields; a reevaluation of the stratigraphic findings of the original 1891–1892 excavations on Tell el-Hesi, based on excavation work from the 1970s and 1980s; in-depth studies of groups of small finds from the tell; and zooarchaeological analyses that widen the investigative perspective to include the region around the tell.Paying tribute to the long excavation history at Tell el-Hesi, the contributors to this volume employ state-of-the-art scientific methods that honor the careful work and findings of a century of excavations. Hesi After 50 Years and 130 Years will be an important reference for scholars researching the history and culture of southern Palestine.

Written by experts in the field, many of whom took part in the Galileo mission, the book reviews the basics about Io and its unique space environment. Coverage includes all subjects, where the Galilio mission has shed new light on, with some emphasis on Io''s most remarkable characteristics: its active volcanism. Written primarily for planetary scientists this book will also benefit volcanologists in general and newcomers wishing to specialize in this field of research.
