Invention
In 1885 a Pennsylvanian oil field produced 77 % of the world's oil supply. By 1889, J.Maxwell's equations for electro-magnetism and H.R. Hertz's, proof inspired Einstein's theory of relativity. By 1841, W.Talbot and J. Herschel had fixed photographic images on silver iodide coated paper. Kodachrome film captured red, green, and blue colours in three layers of emulsion in 1936. J.M. Spangler developed the first successful portable 'Electric Suction Sweeper' in 1908. In 1851, I. Singer added a foot treadle drive to his sewing machines and, by 1900, a shirt could be made in one hour. In 1885, John Starley and William Sutton invented the modern safety bicycle. S. Morse sent his first telegraph message in 1844 and 32 years later, Alexander Graham Bell made the first long-distance telephone call. The rotary Strowger switch allowed connections without an operator in 1891. Banks of these later provided 13,200 voice channels on one coaxial cable. Marconi's spark gap radio of 1896 was crucial during the 1912 Titanic disaster. WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).Terminé
Could Have, Should Have, Didn't - A Narnia Fanfiction
"She was exactly like every girl he'd ever met, yet, somehow, different..." (Under revision) Change is hard. It nibbles away at your heart, piece by piece. It destroys, even as it creates. Silently, change controls almost everything. Edmund Pevensie is known to be the moody boy who doesn't like romance- wrinkles his nose at the thought of it. Ignores the girls in his classes; he's not interested. Every chance of love that comes his way, he throws in the opposite direction, all that mushy stuff just isn't for him. But change steps in, or, more like a girl steps in. Not magazine cover pretty- not farm girl plain. No, just a girl. Rita Alden steps into the picture. She smiles- and his heart soars. Talks- even of things he could care less about, and then he's interested. Laughs- and he hopes to be why she does. Cares- and makes the whole world a better place- or, at least, dreary London, a better place. Rita is everything he ever wanted- and she's in love with his brother. ° Edmund knew from the beginning that the trip to America wasn't going to be easy. He knew their boat would be crowded and cold. He knew it would take a few weeks to reach solid ground. He knew the food would be scarce. And yes, life on the boat is pretty awful. But if the normal, mundane life on the boat isn't bad enough, change is on the prowl and it's building issues even as it seems to squash them. Change lies- and believing the lies is easier than believing the truth. Maybe this, maybe that, everything is uncertain when change comes around. And change isn't just in the atmosphere on the move to America; change is the very air Ed breathes, he hates it, but doing anything about it is pointless, change comes whether he wants it to or not, and that's a lesson he's become bitterly accustomed to. When everything changes for the worse- could it ever change for the better? ° Edmund x female oc This story is set 3 ½ years after The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1947) Cover made by meTerminé

The Elemental Seven: Nature Lives
The world around us can be diverse in so many ways, but sometimes the most diverse way is a way we may never have known possible. And that is a secret that will soon be revealed as once it's been made known the world around you may never be the same again. Our tale begins with the seven, a group of ordinary teenagers, but the difference is that they'll soon learn that they are far from ordinary as their destinies have been in creation before they were even born. Darkness will descend and life will be lost, but when time is a measurement of life the seven will soon discover that their lives are only just beginning. With secrets and mysteries hidden by the ones that they loved, they'll find that the problems of daily life are nothing compared to that of an Elemental. But with a tale like this, which is only just beginning. A single question remains to be asked. 'Would you learn even a single secret and still believe it?' Only you can answer that.Terminé
3. Doctor's Murderer ✔
Both met in the court. Again. Thought it was for few hours. But destiny stretched it for whole life. Hey arshians, I had this plot in the mind and since had 3 days holidays I would be trying to complete this short story. Do like and share your opinions about each and every events. I never kept any number of likes as goal for next chapter since I'm not a professional writer. I'm writing these stories as my imagination was willing to keep it in the forms of words I and many of you can read. But I would be really happy if you guys stop being silent readers and let me know your opinion and likenesses.Terminé
Together In Paradise-Peter Pevensie 2
It's been a year since Isabell and the Pevensies returned to England. And nearly a year since the Pevensies left the manor. For a year, Isabell has been alone in the manor, writing to her friends. She misses Narnia as much as she misses the Pevensies. The ring that hangs around her neck serves as a reminder of her life as Queen of Narnia. When Isabell is sent to school in the city, she had set up plans to reunite with the Pevensies. Swiftly after reuniting, the Kings and Queens of old are called back to Narnia. Things are different this time though. It's been 1,300 years in Narnia. They all feel a sense of guilt for leaving Narnia only for it to be invaded. Isabell struggles to call on and harness the fire inside of herself. She has to find a new part of herself she hadn't known about. But it's not their own struggles that plague them. A new ally is presented to them, the heir to the throne of Telmar. Only he's not fighting for Telmar, he's fighting for the Narnians, to give them back what his ancestors stole from them. Tensions are clear between the High King and the Telmarine Prince from the start, causing them to butt heads on what they think is right. Narnia is not the same as how they left it. The magic weak and the Narnians are though to be extinct. But with Aslan on their side, Narnia can know peace again. Book 2 in the 'Together' series Peter Pevensie x OCTerminé
