Swarm Rising: Book 1

Product Information

With the fate of whole worlds in the balance, Danny and Jamila hunt for answers in a breathless adventure that stretches from the International Space Station to New York City. Alone and on the run, they must work out who they can trust – and who truly is their enemy. The notion that children – the target readers in other words – will have to fix the mess of previous generations runs strong throughout the books, and, although I think the environmental foreboding is perhaps repeated too often, the plotline is a clever way of inspiring action. There are other, more subtle messages skilfully woven into the stories that are more delicately handled. These include the fight to be an individual in a society that expects you to be a certain way, the importance of empathy and understanding, and the realistic mental-health impacts of being thrown into a world of aliens. Faraday Discussion – Challenges and prospects in organic photonics and electronics 6—8 November 2023 | Osaka, Japan Danny Munday and his best friend Jamila, who lives next door, love gaming. Danny's parents are both into physics and astronomy but have separated because they couldn't stop fighting. Danny lives with his mother, who is so into her job that Danny doesn't get much attention, even if she's at home.

But what exactly is the ‘help’ the secretive Swarm is offering? Can Danny and his friend Jamila help Adi stop the Swarm Agents and give humanity a second chance? The Nobel Prize for Physics Explore the work of recent Nobel laureates, find out what happens behind the scenes, and discover some who were overlooked for the prize Artificial intelligence Explore the ways in which today’s world relies on AI, and ponder how this technology might shape the world of tomorrow Swarm is dedicated to creating a highly detailed survey of Earth's geomagnetic field and its temporal evolution as well as the electric field in the atmosphere, by using a satellite constellation that carries sophisticated magnetometers and other instruments.

Limitless

The Electrical Field Instrument consists of two components: the Langmuir Probe (LP) and the Thermal Ion Imager (TII). The probes provide measurements of the electron density, electron temperature and spacecraft potential. The TII characterises the ion drift and velocity in high resolution to determine the electric field around Earth. These FRBs are how ADI, short for Alien Digital Intelligence, invades Danny’s digital life through the thumb drive into Mum’s laptop, the wifi system and then into his phone. Imagine that? Swarm is ESA's first constellation mission for Earth Observation (EO). The mission consists of three identical satellites named Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie (A, B and C); which were launched on 22 November 2013 into a near-polar orbit.
