For the book The Trigger: The Lie That Changed The World, see David Icke#Selected worksThe Trigger is a 1999 science fiction novel by Arthur C. Clarke and Michael P. Kube-McDowell, it is an attempt to explore the social impact of technological change. The Trigger starts in the early to mid-21st century. A group of scientists invent, by accident, a device that detonates all nitrate-based explosive in its vicinity, thus providing good protection against most known modern conventional weapons; the first half of the book explores the reactions of society and the scientists themselves as the latter attempt to ensure that their invention will only be used for peaceful ends. Although at first beneficial, other uses for the device are found, such as a faultless at-range detonator; the novel traces the scientists' slow progress in understanding the science behind their invention. The second half of the book begins when the science is sufficiently well understood that a second device can be built - one that does not detonate explosives, but renders them permanently harmless.

The story ends with the scientists discovering that the hyperdimensional impulse wave can be set to scramble specific DNA - making the device a killer. The Trigger title listing at the Internet Speculative Fiction Database

Alexandria is a 2009 historical mystery crime novel by Lindsey Davis and the 19th book in her Marcus Didius Falco series. Set in Egypt and Ancient Rome, the novel stars Marcus Didius Falco and imperial agent; the title refers to the setting. Falco and his family attend a dinner party in Alexandria, hosted by his mother's brother Fulvius and his partner Cassius, to which the Serapaeion Chief Librarian, Theon, is invited. For them, Theon is found dead, locked in his chamber, Falco's entire family falls under suspicion for causing Theon's demise; as usual, Falco has to clear everyone's names. He visits the Serapeion and meets the people running it, including Philetus, its deceptively incompetent Director, a naturalist, Philadelphion. Falco's family cross paths with an old family friend, who has arrived in Egypt to "discuss business" with Philadelphion, as well as his dreaded father Geminus, who has arrived to discuss business with uncle Fulvius. More deaths soon follow: an old scholar, Nibytas, is found dead in the Library of Alexandria, while a student, Heras, is devoured by a crocodile in Philadelphion's care, further compounding the difficulty of Falco's investigations.

Philadelphion takes matters into his own hands and dissects Theon's body in public, risking arrest by the authorities in the process, but not before revealing some interesting tidbits: Theon was depressed and that he was poisoned from ingesting oleander. A deadly chase through the streets of Alexandria ending at the top of the Pharos soon reveals more: the Director was stealing library scrolls for resale back to Rome. Theon and Nibytas tried to stop Philetus, with tragic consequences for both: Nibytas chose to press on and was murdered, while Theon committed suicide by eating the oleander from garlands at the dinner party with Fulvius. Falco sadly admits that he may have caused Theon's death by asking Theon about the books under his care while having dinner with Fulvius, causing Theon to decide to take his own life later. Fearful of being found out, Philetus starts a fire in the library but Helena and the students manage to douse the blaze. With the cases of Theon and Nibytas now solved, one death remains to be investigated, however: that of Heras.

Falco discovers a love triangle between Philadelphion and a lawyer named Nicanor, but both men reconcile and take turns to "share" the woman. Heras' death is revealed to be indeed linked to the Chief Librarian's post — a disgruntled Library worker named Timosthenes hoped to kill Philadelphion by getting his own crocodiles to eat him, but ended up killing Heras instead. Enraged at his failure, Timosthenes attempts to kill Falco but is instead stabbed to death by Katutis, stalking Falco all along to coax a job out of him in Rome — Falco grudgingly allows Katutis to follow his family back to Rome, where he becomes Falco's secretary. Back in Rome and Helena receive a letter from Cassius, stating that Philadelphion became the Chief Librarian, despite having vowed to Falco to renounce the position to stay on as a naturalist. Falco laments that despite Philadelphion's brilliance as a biologist, he may not like his new job as his interest is in experimental science, not archival management. Roman rule and administration in Egypt The ethics of human experimentation and anatomical dissection in Hellenistic Egypt The domination of Greeks in the intellectual and cultural life of Roman Asia and the Middle East Falco's relationship with his father and distant relatives The events which unfold and lead into the next novel, Nemesis Davis has said: "... researching in the British Library – and since I always enjoy double use of experiences, you may find my observations reflected in scenes in the new book which are set in the legendary Great Library of Alexandria....

Not that there could be academic back-stabbing, murder and fraud at that wonderful building on the Euston Road and I never came across an on-site autopsy of a librarian who would end up mummified!"

Thomas Albert Smith Adams known as "TAS", was a southern American Methodist clergyman and poet. The great-grandparents of T. A. S. Adams, as he was called, were Welsh-Irish Presbyterians, who emigrated from Ireland to South Carolina in 1766. Abram Adams, his father, moved with his wife and five children, in 1834, to Noxubee County and bought a tract of land from the Indians. Ten out of the fourteen children in this thrifty, religious family lived to the age of twenty-one. Among them was T. A, S. Adams, born February 5, 1839, named for a general under whom his father served in the War of 1812. From the neighborhood school he entered, with marked literary aptitude, the University of Mississippi and completed the Junior year, graduating with honors at Emory and Henry College, Virginia, in 1860; the same year he married, entered the Methodist ministry. He was chaplain of the 11th Mississippi Infantry Regiment under General Joseph R. Davis in the Confederate Army. Transferring in 1871 from the Mobile Conference, which he had joined, to the North Mississippi Conference, formed that year, he soon ranked among the leaders in the Conference, filling important stations and at intervals appointed to the presidency of several church schools.

He was among the first, earnest, advocates of a Mississippi Methodist College. His epic poem, Enscotidion. Aunt Peggy and Other Poems appeared in 1882, in which year he was a delegate from his Conference to the General Conference of the Southern Methodist Church; the degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred on him by his alma mater in 1884. In 1886, he became president of Centenary College of Louisiana, but resigned the next year and moved to Jackson, where he established a school with the design of having it become the "State Methodist College", but his plans miscarried, he reentered the itinerant ministry in the North Mississippi Conference. He died from a stroke of apoplexy, December 21, 1888, in the railway station at Jackson, while preparing to leave for his new appointment at Oxford, Mississippi.
