Check out my books on light-sails.
 Light-sail spacecraft are somewhere in the exotic between chemical rockets and concepts like warp-drives and wormhole shortcuts through space-time.
 Oddly enough, light-sails of the kinds I have conceptually develop experience negative drive. The faster they go the greater is their ship-frame acceleration perhaps infinite vectors and Lorentz factors.
 To see how, consider browsing my related intellectual property.
 Some of my light-sail books are about 2 million pages in length. So these books are all only available as down-loadable pdfs.

City of Fairfax Regional Library

The author of Conspiracy and We Are Your Children Too discusses her inspiring new book about the Progressive EraJoin local author P. O'Connell Pearson at the City of Fairfax Regional Library for a talk about her latest children's history book, No Ordinary Women: How Progressive Era Reformers Reshaped America!
Recommended for ages 10 and up, the book chronicles efforts to fight against inequality, corruption, and exploitative labor conditions in the late 19th century. In particular, it shines a light on women who participated in the Progressive movement, whether on the frontlines or behind the scenes.A signing will follow Pearson's talk, with copies of No Ordinary Women available for purchase from Bards Alley. This event is free to attend and does not require registration.For additional information, visit Fairfax County Public Library&nbsp;at <a href="https://librarycalendar.fairfaxcounty.gov/event/16513922" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">librarycalendar.fairfaxcounty.gov/event/16513922</a>
ABOUT&nbsp;THE&nbsp;BOOKA country torn apart. A staggering gulf between rich and poor. Rampant inequality. The United States in the 1800s sounds a lot like it does today. But the actions taken by everyday citizens back then can empower us now.
Through grassroots movements, people remade American society and government from the ground up. These activists were the Progressives, and thousands of them were women—even though women did not yet have the right to vote. From every part of the country and from every background, women set about seeking reforms—broadening democracy, moving American society from the perspective of me to us, and ushering in a new way of thinking about our responsibilities to one another. The result was sixty years of political, economic, and social national achievement.
All Americans have the power to create equity and justice. After all, the people at the forefront of this movement were just ordinary women—who did something extraordinary.ABOUT&nbsp;THE&nbsp;AUTHORP. O’Connell Pearson has always taught history—first in the high school classroom and then as a curriculum writer and editor across grade levels. Ready to share her enthusiasm for stories of the past in a new way, she earned an MFA in writing for young people from Lesley University and now writes narrative nonfiction for ages ten and up. Her books have received recognition from Bank Street, NCSS, the New-York Historical Society, Arizona Library Association, and more. When Pearson is not writing about history, she can often be found talking about history as a volunteer with the National Park Service in Washington, DC.
