Science is urgently challenging all humanity to change, to shift our thinking and our way of being in the world; to co-create a new, sustainable future or become extinct. Scripture's greatest message-to love and live in unity and peace (co-create a loving and sustainable world of cooperation and mutual aid) is embedded in cosmic urgency: change the heart or perish.

Change begins with each individual. To effectively change the self, each person needs to know how he or she participates in aspects of the human condition that bind us to outdated patterns and beliefs that hurt-not help- us as a species, as a planet. Each person is being called to "step outside the box," beyond dogma and the shadows of life, to discover the profound as it emerges through the mundane of our everyday lives. In "The Essential Code," Arvetta Souza creates a foundational, step-by-step process to stretch the mind, educate the conscience, and cultivate the soul. When each of us dares to let go of who we are to become the potential we were born to be, we birth a new species in harmony with the planetary shift, and the essential, sacred energies flowing from the cosmos.

This book is a developmental tool for those awakening to the transformation already occurring in our midst, offering the clarity of a breakthrough ""Code"" to understand our potential and the urgent call for unconditional love-a massive energy that pulsates, vibrates, and flows from our "cosmic transmitter," the human heart.

When I conceived this book, what I had in mind was what I did not know about coffee-parasitic nematodes (CPNs). Indeed, after reading many papers and several chapters in books, I felt far from having a comprehensive understanding of the subject. Not only would it be a daunting task to retrieve the numerous articles, reports, theses and dissertations on CPNs published since 1878, but it would also be impossible to learn, on my own, from all the enormous experience acquired by nematologists and coffee growers in so many countries. Therefore, this book is dedicated to those with restless minds, who want to know more about CPNs and their importance in coffee production worldwide. This book has been diligently written by top scientists in their areas of expertise or country, and it has been meticulously edited to guarantee precision without compromising an enjoyable read. I learned a lot from this book...I'm sure you will too. Finally, I'd like to thank Zuzana Bernhart from Springer, who believed in this project and decided to publish it; Susan Casement, who revised all chapters for grammatical correctness; and all the contributors, without whom this book would never have became a reality.

Read My Lips...If Vaginas Could Talk" is both a catchy and a bit spicy quick read about the true world of female genital cosmetic surgery (i.e. plastic surgery of the vulva and vagina). Dr. Ryan A. Stanton, a board certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, CA and specialst in this area wrote this book to inform both those curious eyes and ears as well as the general public in hopes of dispelling the many myths and tabboo about procedures such as Labiaplasty and Vaginoplasty. As well, Dr. Stanton gives a little refresher course on the pertinent (and very private) anatomy and explanations for its wide variation from one woman to the next. Armed with this new factual knowledge and some enticing illustrations, testimonials, and real-life before and after photos, the reader will likely see plastic surgery of the vulva and vagina as not only acceptable but extremely empowering for women. These procedures have now literally changed the lives of women by not only boosting their self-esteem but thus also their pleasure in the sexual experience.
