"Astronomical Weather" A decade ago there arose a realization that burning fossil fuels, thus discharging CO2 into the atmosphere, raises earth's temperature. In due course, it is feared, increasing temperatures will expand oceans and melt polar ice caps. Oceans will rise, submerging coastal cities under the seas like ancient Atlantis. Curtailing carbon fuels will cause economic chaos across the world as we have no economic alternative. "Astronomical Weather" informs the reader of the character of this global warming threat; and assesses its validity.

A WORTHY EXPERIENCE presents an Astro College seminar on economic policy. Astro College and Professor Regina Worthy are fictional. But the issues are real and vital to the viability of the nation's economy. This topic should be of great concern to everyone. Over the past seven years median household income declined $5,000. Even worse, it has been in decline since 1999. What policies promote growth or conversely stymie growth? This seminar addresses these questions and suggests appropriate actions to unshackle the sluggish economy. The author, John Sheridan Thomas, is a management consultant and author of "So Mr. Mayor, You Want to Improve Productivity . . ." published by the National Commission on Productivity and Work Quality. Mr. Thomas also authored "A COOL EXPERIENCE", an Astro College course on climate science.
