The International Space Elevator Consortium conducted a year-long study on the development of a space elevator Earth Port. This report addresses the functional requirements and missions leading to a mature engineering complex along the equator. The report represents the culmination of efforts by multiple contributors describing the functions and operations of the Earth Port and how it interacts with other space elevator nodes. The challenge was to bring in a fresh perspective on an Earth Port by leveraging experts in many fields beyond those normally associated with space elevators. As a result of the contributions from a variety of professional backgrounds, this study should reflect a more realistic perspective of the activities at the Earth Port of a future space elevator.

In this book, Dr. White discuss discusses all kinds of things relating to life and religion, as well as the church and the ministry. But the book is really about people, all kinds of people, especially religious ones. His stories about them go all the way from Kinston to Wilmington through Thomasville, Morganton, Wake Forest, Wilson, Granite Falls, Snow Hill, Durham, Elizabeth City, and Hillsborough, all places where he has lived in his native state. Brightie White writes just like he is sitting down with you in your home and telling you something interesting that you will enjoy hearing about. He has a knack for taking his personal experiences and turning them into lessons for life. Often in his stories, he is like a bystander watching what is happening, because they're not so much about him as about other people and what we can learn from their behavior. The result is often humorous, frequently inspirational, regularly instructional, and sometimes controversial.

Since 1982, the renowned Civil War historian James I. "e;Bud"e; Robertson's Civil War Sites in Virginia: A Tour Guide has enlightened and informed Civil War enthusiasts and scholars alike. The book expertly explores the commonwealth's Civil War sites for those hoping to gain greater insight and understanding of the conflict. But in the years since the book's original publication, accessibility to many sites and the interpretive material available have improved dramatically. In addition, new historical markers have been erected, and new historically significant sites have been developed, while other sites have been lost to modern development or other encroachments. The historian Brian Steel Wills offers here a revised and updated edition that retains the core of the original guide, with its rich and insightful prose, but that takes these major changes into account, introducing especially the benefits of expanded interpretation and of improved accessibility. The guide incorporates new information on the lives of a broad spectrum of soldiers and citizens while revisiting scenes associated with the era's most famous personalities. New maps and a list of specialized tour suggestions assist in planning visits to sites, while three dozen illustrations, from nineteenth-century drawings to modern photographs, bring the war and its impact on the Old Dominion vividly to life. With the sesquicentennial remembrances of the American Civil War heightening interest and spurring improvements, there may be no better time to learn about and visit these important and moving sites than now.
