  • Zero Gravity

    Zero Gravity

    Zero gravity is the perfect place to be when listening to this delightful cinemascopic work from David J. Pena titled Zero Gravity introduced with a sweeping, rich ambience sound, the delicate notes of the piano anchoring the piece to this earth before it before if flies away.

    Pena within the confines of this robust and lovely body of work, appears to be dreaming of a journey to a delightfully peaceful place that he is prepared to share with all who care to listen, to join him on his relaxing and ambient journey.

    Each of the pieces have been artfully created. Hour Glass evokes the memory of these wonderful, archaic measuring devices, once used to measure the transit of time, amongst so many other measurable objects associated with life. Intriguing, deep and yet delicate, this an evocative piece.

    Will You Dance, will you is the question asked as this tantalising piece offers the subtle taste of a time long gone, when to dance with ones chosen partner was a thing of grace, delight, enjoyment and romance.

    Sombre, and yet reflective Forgiven changes the tempo a little but still holds the sweeping, rich and deeply enjoyable orchestral ambience, which flows into the catchy Jeanette. A nice, bright, breeze song that lifts the mood, introducing a little big-hearted enjoyment into the spectrum of the day.

    Evocative and concluding a delightful, enjoyable trip to Zero Gravity is Awaiting Your Return, a song filled with happiness, a sense anticipation and joy, which captures Pena at his best. Strong and yet delicate piano interwoven with lavish orchestral backing, make Zero Gravity a most enjoyable 45 minutes of escape to another place only you can discover.

  • Zero Gravity Creativity

    Zero Gravity Creativity

    ‘Translunar humans travelling on a vessel in deep space. The Human mind is so advanced that it has lost its ability to fall into a reverie.’ Niclas Tamas

    Gravity Creativity is the ninth piece in a series of The Lullabies, created to encourage a sense of peace, of disconnect, of transcendent immobility, to allow the psyche to move to places that are normally beyond remembrance.

    The fast flow of modern life has come at a price; that of which is a serious disconnect from the very essence of where we as humans have come from, the womb of creation.

    In many ways Niclas Tamas electronic pieces, one released each month since May 2022, with the final piece scheduled for April 2023, are perfect for complete immersion into relaxation. They are formless, ambient, almost endless and are best listened to in a dark space through headphones.

    But should this not be possible, as each lullaby is relatively short, simply closing the eyes, sitting in a comfortable space and listening will have a wonderfully beneficial effect.

    Perfectly Weird, Perfectly You: A Scientific Guide to Growing Up

    So you think you are weird, well award winning author Camilla Pang has news for you; we are all different in our own special way. We all see and experience the world in a slightly different way, we all have our own strange little behaviours, likes and dislikes and things that make us afraid; WE ARE ALL WEIRD in our own wonderful and unique way.

    Camilla’s love of and interest in science has helped her use the things she understood (like gravity and light waves) to help her comprehend the things she couldn’t, like when to give people a hug or when to smile. Science helped her to feel at ease with the people around her and more importantly with herself. Did you know that chemical reactions reveal the magic of being an individual or that you can find your passions with photosynthesis? You can learn to manage your emotions by likening it to different weathers.

    Enjoy this easy to read scientific guide to growing up with its helpful hints and easy to understand scientific explanations. You will learn a great deal about yourself and science.

    Remember to celebrate being your most diverse, beautiful and incredible self.

    Note to Parents: Camilla Pang brings to this book a real understanding of feeling different from the ‘norm’ as she was diagnosed with autism when she was eight years old. Her anecdotal references to her experiences growing up allows the adult reader to gain a greater insight into those on the autism spectrum. 

  • Sir Isaac Newton: Scientists Who Changed The World

    Sir Isaac Newton: Scientists Who Changed The World

    Isaac Newton is a name that is synonymous with great discoveries in science, that of  the Law of Motion, what was then a new type of math called Calculus and gravity, but as he was born in 1642 in a small village in Lincolnshire, England to a wealthy farmer and his wife, how did he become such a great scientist and philosopher.

    Anita Croy has carefully researched the life and career of Sir Isaac Newton and then created a wonderful book full of information beginning from his birth, early childhood, which was like a lot of other children in this modern world, and how he became fascinated with how, and why, things were as they were.

    Croy’s moves on to his life at University, a time which set the course for his career, as he discovered during his studies, that there were more questions a than answers which made him begin to wonder what else was at work within the Universe, which for those times was pretty radical.

    Throughout the pages of the books Scientists who influenced Newton and others who were inspired by his work, are introduced with exactly the right amount of information. As a great thinker Newton preferred to work alone and spent a considerable amount of time between publishing his findings to make sure the details were accurate.

    This fascinating, thinking man was knighted by Queen Ann and was the first scientist to be awarded the honour of being buried in Westminster Abbey in London. He along with fellow scientists, Galileo and Robert Boyle, became known for their ground breaking work, and under the guidance of a group of forward-thinking philosophers, formed the cornerstone what was to become known as the ‘Age of Reason or the Enlightenment’.

    Any young child who is at all interesting in science or finding out more about so many things in this world will enjoy Sir Isaac Newton and the two other books Charles Darwin and Rachel Carson, which form the new series Scientists Who Changed The World.

    Beautifully presented in a style which will hold great appeal, Anita Croy has added a thoroughly modern touch to science, bringing alive a man who lived more than 400 years ago, which will hold great appeal. Sir Isaac Newton, while designed for young readers, will hold appeal for older readers who enjoy a relaxed and comic book style of presentation.

     

  • The Gravity of Us

    The Gravity of Us

    The Gravity of Us is quite a compelling story for young adults. It is set, firstly in New York, and secondly in Texas. The main character, Calvin Lewis Junior, is a part time reporter who uses the technology of his mobile phone to reach many followers. Each day he reports on issues around the country and as he has such a sense of what people want to know, many tune in to his work.

    Calvin, (known as Cal), lives with his parents in an apartment in New York. His father is a commercial airline pilot, his mother a teacher. It is not a particularly happy family as Calvin senior is frustrated by his work, and his Mother suffers from anxiety.

    NASA has been working towards a mission to Mars and is seeking pilots to work on the space shuttle. Cal’s father has applied for a job in the space program and is waiting to hear from the Base, so things at home are rather tense. When his bid to join the space team, is successful things move fast.

    The Government has decided to keep the public informed about the progress of the mission: to raise awareness and money towards the flight, they have allowed a PR group to set up a Reality TV show at the village where all the space workers live.

    Cal’s family is quickly relocated to Texas and become a part of the “Reality Families”, with much of their lives under scrutiny. Relationships develop and Cal meets a fellow astronaut’s son called Leon, with whom he shares deep feelings. Meanwhile Cal continues to report to his followers, much to the annoyance of the PR team who try to discredit him.

    NASA is struggling to convince the Government that this mission is worthwhile; for a time, it looks as though they may lose the funding and solutions must be found to continue the program.

    The characters and the modern storyline will keep young readers wanting to finish this book. The technology is that of today’s youth, and the many threads in the plot come together well.
