The construction of the physical and emotional health, is a
collection of essays that question the origin of organic diseases
and he dares to suggest that there is a body-building process that
goes beyond the viruses and bacteria and exemplified by History,
Anthropology, Psychology, Acupuncture, oral History, how to build a
Psychosomatic illness, his explanation is an Epistemology which
gather Transdisciplinary it to an emerging reality that manifests
in the body and the construction of a new body process that can not
be explained without the emotional exaltation of our time, these
works are part of the experience of over 25 years of work by the
author, in therapy and research theory and practice.
Faraday's detailed examination of the candle, its composition, and
the physical nature of its flames, is published here complete with
the original illustrations and explanatory tables. Although
involved in developing several of the cutting-edge advances in
thermodynamics during his era, Michael Faraday recognized that the
essential principles of physics underpinned earlier innovations.
This book outlines the three essential ingredients for fire; a
supply of oxygen, a supply of fuel, and heat. The fundamental
design of the candle, with its slow-melting wax and wick, is
detailed. As well as being a great scientist in his own right,
Faraday was respected as a lecturer capable of explaining with
clarity principles which his contemporaries struggled to present to
the general population. It can be argued that Michael Faraday was
among the first of the 'popular scientists' capable of presenting
science in a manner interesting and stimulating: it is in this
spirit that he published this book.
This book is a collection of salient works of a student from the
far away continent of Africa, cataloguing his journey via snapshots
of writings that covers travels to four continents, spanning three
decades from impoverished roots deep in the hinterland of Liberia,
West Africa to high school in an economically challenging capital
city, then to medical school and finally as a trained neurologist
and entrepreneur with valuable time still left. A must read book
for anyone interesting in reading about the life of a student
starting from an impossible beginning in an economically and
politically challenged continent but able to reach unimaginable
heights in his profession and life despite all the limitations and
insurmountable odds.

You read an article about repressed memories of sexual abuse
returning in middle-age; a television program features actors as
villains of a certain build and physiognomy; you chat with a friend
about the damage done to their personalities by their parents,
siblings, or circumstances; you explain to someone how you forgot a
task assigned because of an unconscious motivation. We are all
natural psychologists, explaining behavior by the beliefs of our
time and culture. We are captives, in a psychological sense, by
theories and ideas that we accept tacitly, without knowledge or
evaluation of their origins. We do not escape their influence, for
they represent our idea of common sense. We can be, however, better
evaluators of ourselves and others by examining the ideas' origins
and source of their power. To find and judge their source we are
powerless if we use only our own sense of reason, for reason is
contaminated by ideas of the past.Our best hope is to search for
their origins.
This is a companion textbook for an introductory course in physics.
It aims to link the theories and models that students learn in
class with practical problem-solving techniques. In other words, it
should address the common complaint that 'I understand the concepts
but I can't do the homework or tests'. The fundamentals of
introductory physics courses are addressed in simple and concise
terms, with emphasis on how the fundamental concepts and equations
should be used to solve physics problems.
When salt loses its savor it needs to be thrown out and
replaced-this is an emphatic lesson from The Second Vatican
Council, which addresses "joy and hope" in a faithless and
despairing culture. The shining light of Vatican II is a beacon
trained on the natural reality of transformational consciousness
that grows out of and thrives in beauty and truth. The beauty of
the moment, the truth of the moment is all that is and all that ye
need to know, for beauty is truth, truth beauty. A Tree's leaf is a
lexicon (DIVINICON) of symbiotic history. Leaves are pages of
durable consciousness that green freshly every Spring. Open to the
beauty, the wisdom of a leaf, and the destiny of the
blossom-HAPPINESS IS A LITTLE FLOWER GARDEN.
The first comprehensive and consistent philosophy of consciousness
has been developed based on the unique hierarchical approach and
hierarchical logic, with applications to the methodology of
science, psychology and everyday life.
Why Science?
We are fascinated by discovery: who discovered what, and
how?
This ranges from a look outward at the night sky with scientists
like Kepler, astronauts like Neil Armstrong, to physicist like
Einstein, chemists like Marie Curie and Linus Pauling, an inward
look at psychologists such as Skinner and Maslow, and philosophers
like Plato.
Join Keating as he explores the pursuit of scientific discovery
from his background as a physicists and a long career in the
margins of the academic world.
Grounded in decades of research, the Schoolwide Enrichment Model
(SEM) has been successfully implemented at hundreds of schools
across the world. Now, The Schoolwide Enrichment Model in Science:
A Hands-on Approach for Engaging Young Scientists takes
high-engagement learning one step further by applying SEM teaching
strategies to the science curriculum. In this book, teachers learn
how to engage students and to teach the skills needed to complete
meaningful, in-depth investigations in science. Activities are
connected to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and
current policy recommendations calling for the meaningful
integration of technology and promoting thinking and doing like
young scientists over rote memorization. Easy to read and use, the
book incorporates many practical suggestions, as well as
reproducible student and teacher handouts.
The subject of aliens is not a new one and has been around for a
really long time now. We talk about it all the time.News and
articles about the possibility of alien visits or attacks are
everywhere. Perhaps this has become socommon that people have
started to shrug it off, thinking this is just one of those science
fiction topics that medialoves to sensationalize.If all of a sudden
we have an alien encounter one day, are we psychologically prepared
for this? Like many of youeven I think we are not. In fact we might
be in a state of shock as they might turn out to be completely
differentfrom any of our imaginations about them. But if we are
prepared for "anything," then such an alien encountermight not be
shocking.The objective of this book is to prepare its readers
psychologically to deal with the subject of aliens and thefirst
alien encounter. In other words aiming to prepare humanity with the
cope of a possible shock upon animpending alien encounter.There are
a lot of mysteries in this world that might have some paranormal
behavior associated to them, but theyare kind of scattered and
appear here and there. In other words although these mysteries have
been documentedwell enough by a lot of people from time to time,
but they do not appear related.This book attempts to bring together
these mysteries and relate them with one possible explanation that
iscommon, the alien connection. Also it is trying to bring this
subject out from the confines of a circle of scientists, subject
experts and enthusiasts to a common person. So this book is for a
common man by a common man.

Later this year, the Planetary Society is planning to launch
LightSail-1, a sail that will travel farther and farther into space
propelled by the sun's steady stream of photon particles. Other
such flights are projected for the next few years. This renewed
interest in light and its momentum call for a fresh look into the
speed of light c which generates this energy. This speed has been,
for over a century, a cardinal pillar supporting the present
edifice of theoretical physics, but that light had any speed at all
was discovered only in the seventeenth century, and confirmed in
the eighteenth, by means of measurements over vast astronomical
distances. These methods seem to have proven that the speed of
light varied with the speed of the observer. Nonetheless, another
experiment late in the nineteenth century, was interpreted as
showing that the speed of light was independent of its observer or
its source-it was a universal constant. This thesis is a meticulous
examination in historical context of the evidential data and
theories which paved the road to the idea that the speed of light
was a universal constant, a seemingly universal belief. The need
for the endeavor arose secondarily to the main task of exploring
fundamental physical and geometrical phenomena of light detailed in
the previous treatises on Optokinetics.
The eternal dichotomy between science and religion. Are they
compatible? YES-NO-MAYBE The theory of creation and the theory of
evolution are fundamentally at loggerheads with each other. The one
being based on faith, the other on reason. The fact remains that
the supernatural explanation of the universe is a fantasy; the
purpose of our existence, an unresolved mystery; the question of
where we are going, the back-pain enigma and gaping hole in the
postulate of intelligent design. Are we lost somewhere on a cosmic
road to nowhere? If God exists, why does he need all these gigantic
fiery celestial marbles to play with? If there is no god, what else
is out there, and what shall we call it, him, her? This force can
have no gender and must be beyond time as we know it. OCTOPUS
