On the Origin of Form: Evolution by Self-Organization
|
Review "Stuart Pivar’s book, On the Origin of Form , contains ideas that deserve full scientific scrutiny, especially in light of the turmoil roiling evolutionary biology at present. Pivar is presenting, in a series of brilliantly rendered graphical diagrams that show his interpretation of how modifications of a torus shape can generate a vast panoply of biotic form, a new theory of morphogenesis.... This is a seismic event for science. Conventional evolutionary biologists are right to be very worried about this, because it has the potential to trigger the complete collapse of Modern Synthesis Biology."—Mark A. S. McMenamin, PhD, Paleontologist, Professor of Geology, Chair of Earth and Environment, Mount Holyoke College"This is the discovery of the connection between the laws of physics and the complexity of life."—Murray Gell-Mann, PhD, Distinguished Fellow, Santa Fe Institute, Nobel Laureate About the Author Stuart Pivar is a chemist and engineer and founder of the New York Academy of Art in New York City. In 1996 he founded the Human Blueprint Laboratory to investigate the origins of form. He lives in New York City.

Straitjacket Society: An Insider's Irreverent View of Bureaucratic Japan
|
From Publishers Weekly Miyamoto, a Tokyo-born psychiatrist who spent 10 years in the U.S. as a postdoctoral student at Yale and as a Cornell Medical College professor, returned to Japan in 1986 to join the Ministry of Health and Welfare. His years in the West ill-prepared him to accept Japanese group-think, which he perceives as an adolescent syndrome and a form of institutionalized masochism. He refused to sacrifice his personal life to it; chafed against the officially sanctioned gold-bricking that constituted much of his job; argued with his supervisors; and became isolated from his peers. Far worse, he shocked the bureaucracy by publicly criticizing it in articles and in this book, which was published in Japan this past September and became a bestseller. While Western observers have made similar criticisms of Japanese society, none have offered the same insider's detail and credentials. Miyamoto's account of his absurd experiences is streaked with outrage, but his descriptions of how laws are written, how budgets are made, how careers proceed and how workers behave contribute valuable social and psychological insights into Japanese society. Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. About the Author Dr. Masao Miyamoto he became Assistant Professor at New York Medical College.

The Implications of Literacy
|
Review "This is a major seminal work. It clearly shows in how deep a sense the Middle Ages was by far the most literate period that Western culture had ever know." ---Walter J. Ong, Manuscipta Review "This is a highly original, superbly researched, and clearly written work. Its main purpose is to reassess the transformations of European thought in the eleventh and twelfth centuries on the basis of suggesting new relationship between 'oral' and 'written' cultures. Stock's book is probably the most provocative approach to understanding the eleventh and twelfth centuries since the early work of R. W. Southern." ―Edward Peters, University of Pennsylvania From the Back Cover "This is a highly original, superbly researched, and clearly written work.

A Summer Day
|
From Publishers Weekly In a beguiling companion to last season's A Winter Day, Florian has again created a spare yet resonate mix of text and illustration. The book opens with a brilliant yellow sun rising over a city block. A family awakens early, breakfasts and sets off on a trip to the countryside. They take a dip in a swimming hole and go fishing at a small pond. After watching a rosy sunset behind a rounded hilltop, they drive back to the city. Stopping at a city park, the three children catch fireflies before they all return home under starry skies. Florian's clear line drawings, shaded with soft colored pencil and watercolor, are perfect foils for the brief, almost poetic text. This is an evocative mood piece that perfectly captures the essence of a summer day. Ages 3-5. Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc. From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 1 On a summer day, a city family leaves the hot pavement and sweltering apartment behind and heads for the countryside and a day of cooling off in the swimming hole, fishing, and enjoying a leisurely day together. Florian's flat, full-color illustrations are filled with detail and yet are simple and uncluttered. In contrast to the muted, cool tones found in his companion volume, A Winter Day (Greenwillow, 1987) , he now uses the colors of summerbright blues, sunny yellows, and yellow greens, making readers feel the heat of the day. It's a warm, comforting story, told in rhyme, with no more than two words per pageperfect for reading to toddlers and for children just beginning to read.

On Tycho's Island: Tycho Brahe, Science, and Culture in the Sixteenth Century
|
Review "Before there were island universes, there was Tycho's island, where a new kind of observatory and research institution linked a Danish island to the planets and stars. What I love best about John Christianson's book is the level of detail his scholarship probes. If you want to know who taught the incomparable Tycho his trigonometry or who engineered the hydraulic system that delivered running water to all the rooms in the castle of Uraniborg, you'll find their names and follow their lively adventures here." Dava Sobel, author of Longitude and Galileo's Daughter"...Christianson puts Tycho's scientific achievements in the context of the daily life, intellectual milieu, and courtly politics of the era...Christianson provides a double share of fascinating insights into the era and the career of perhaps the greatest astronomer of the pre-telescope era. A gold mine for anyone interested in one of the giants of Renaissance science." Kirkus"16th century scientist Tycho Brahe receives relatively little mention in modern times: this explores his entire range of scientific activities which go beyond his better-known astronomical explorations. A well-rounded portrait of Brahe the man as well as his many scientific interests and his works on his private island is presented in a study which includes intriguing facts on his contemporaries." Midwest Book Review"On Tycho's Island brims with intriguing material...." Physics Today"Anyone with an interest in astronomy or the history of science will enjoy this tale, thanks to Christianson's lively style and thorough research." Dan Falk, Toronto Globe & Mail Book Description This book explores Brahe's wide range of activities which encompass much more than his reputed role of astronomer.

A Child's War: World War II Through the Eyes of Children
|
From Library Journal How do children react to the experience of war? Journalist David has questioned people who were children living in Europe during World War II. Each chapter consists of one child's as-it-happened recounting of wartime experiences, with a few paragraphs giving the person's current status. The reader is left to wonder exactly how each interviewee told his/her story and how David rewrote it; in the form given, the stories don't really have value for historians. That said, however, it must be noted that the stories are absorbing. A common theme is that the children's experience of the war depended on their parents' presence and actions, and that the war was the most exciting time of their lives. Recommended for public libraries. - Pat Ensor, Indiana State Univ. Lib., Terre Haute Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Love with a Scandalous Lord (Daughters of Fortune, 3)
|
From Booklist *Starred Review* Grayson Rhodes, bastard son of a duke and an actress, was first introduced in A Rogue in Texas (1999). Fourteen years have passed since his exile to Fortune, Texas, and now he's been called back to his father's ancestral home to be at his deathbed. With the duke's oldest legitimate son dead, Rhys, the second son, stands to inherit the title. Grayson's 20-year-old stepdaughter, Lydia, is quite taken with Rhys. She's pretty sure she can snag him, too, because she's brought her trusted guidebook, Blunders in Behavior Corrected, to help her deal with the many rules of London society. Rhys is stunned by the wit and beauty of his brother's stepdaughter, but the former "Gentleman Seducer" feels as though his lurid, scandalous past holds too many terrible secrets for him to pursue a relationship with her. He selflessly sponsors Lydia for a season on London's marriage market, but she keeps her sights on the man she loves. In Heath's exceptionally written novel of nineteenth-century England, a very stubborn American pursues a nobleman who's much better than he thinks he is. Shelley Mosley Copyright © American Library Association.

Her dual nationality has given her a love for all things British and Texan, and she enjoys weaving both heritages through her stories.

Chroma Crossing Chronicles: Blood Moon: Part 2

About the Author My love affair with books began in childhood, but I soon realized I also enjoyed writing poetries and stories. As an adult, I found the best way to unwind after a day at work was by stepping into a fantasy-world and to become immersed between the pages of a beloved book. Now I feel fortunate to be writing for other readers, so they can enjoy wandering into another reality, whether after a grueling day at work or simply for the joy of reading.

YOUR BODY CAN TALK
|
From Booklist Discovered by chiropractor George Goodheart in 1964 and developed by him and his student and colleague Alan Beardall in the 1970s, clinical kinesiology (CK) tests the body's energetic feedback system and rechannels it for healing. Chiropractor Levy and Lehr, one of her patients, describe it in detail. Although a recent discovery, CK draws heavily on acupuncture and subcontinental Indian medicine and is thereby related to centuries-old traditions. It claims to identify changes in the body before they appear physically, and via both text and diagrams, Levy and Lehr obligingly present the tests used to ascertain such changes. Treatments are designed to reverse or mitigate the changes and consist primarily of improving nutrition, identifying problems arising from food allergies, supporting the immune system, eliminating antibiotics and other powerful drugs, avoiding unnecessary surgery, and staying away from magnetic fields.

The Truth About Butterflies (The Truth About Your Favorite Animals, 1)
|
From School Library Journal Gr 1–2—Informational text about butterflies and caterpillars details their anatomy, camouflage, defensive colors, and variety. Illustrations of their complex metamorphosis are accompanied by the cartoon characters' commentary. The butterflies and caterpillars provide humorous comments. Other illustrations depict a cat that is looking forward to eating one of the butterflies, a few smart-alecky birds, and a particular caterpillar that looks like bird poop. Large blocks of facts appear in text boxes and may challenge the attention spans of some young readers. The more extensive text is essential, though, for the breadth of the subject matter. Colorful illustrations of butterflies are inconsistently labeled with the butterflies' common names and home continents. The differences between butterflies and moths are offered in parallel illustrations that identify their unique antennae, wings, and body types. The text concludes with information about environmental threats to butterflies and how readers can help their survival. VERDICT A worthy addition to collections where the "The Truth About Your Favorite Animals" titles or the author's "Flying Beaver Brothers" graphic novels are already enjoyed.—Elaine Fultz, Oakwood City Sch., Dayton, OH About the Author Maxwell Eaton III is a highly tolerated author and illustrator of numerous books for children, including his The Truth About Your Favorite Animals series, which includes entries on dolphins, elephants, crocodiles, and more. When he isn't drawing talking animals, Eaton can be found in a canoe with his wife and daughter in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State.

Brilliant Moon: The Autobiography of Dilgo Khyentse
|
Review "It gives me immense pleasure to know that this authentic account of the life and activities of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, whom I am fortunate to revere among my own precious teachers, has been prepared to remind those who knew him and inform those who did not.”—His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama "He was a great leader, and just like a majestic American Indian chief or a distinguished samurai general, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche was never affected by chaotic or difficult circumstances, however tumultuous. He always remained quite still, like a mountain, effortlessly exuding an all-pervasive confidence that evoked confidence in those around him, and an absolute, unshakeable equanimity.”—Dzongsar Khyentse, author of What Makes You Not a Buddhist About the Author Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (1910–1991) was a highly accomplished meditation master, scholar, and poet, and a principal holder of the Nyingma lineage. His extraordinary depth of realization enabled him to be, for all who met him, a foundation of loving-kindness, wisdom, and compassion. A dedicated exponent of the nonsectarian Rime movement, Khyentse Rinpoche was respected by all schools of Tibetan Buddhism and taught many eminent teachers, including His Holiness the Dalai Lama. He tirelessly worked to uphold the Dharma through the publication of texts, the building of monasteries and stupas, and by offering instruction to thousands of people throughout the world. His writings in Tibetan fill twenty-five volumes.

Love Every Leaf: The Life of Landscape Architect Cornelia Hahn Oberlander
|
From School Library Journal Grade 5–8—In a clear style, Stinson relates the life of the landscape architect. Inspired by her grandmother's garden, Oberlander decided upon her future career by age 11. By 1939, life for her Jewish family in Hitler's Germany had become so difficult that she and her family immigrated to America. Average-quality, black-and-white photographs (full-page and small) on nearly every spread provide a picture of her personal growth as a student, wife, and artist as she persevered in achieving her lifelong goals. Photographs of her various projects and models as well as her favorite plants are included, though some of the pictures lack adequate contrast. Reproductions of her drawings and environmentally innovative plans incorporating green roofs and the use of mounds are interspersed throughout. Vibrant and creative well into her 80s, Oberlander is an inspiring example of filling a life with what you love.— Frances E. Millhouser, formerly at Chantilly Regional Library, Fairfax County, VA Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. About the Author Kathy Stinson was born in Toronto. She was a mail sorter, elementary school teacher, and a waitress before she turned her hand to writing. It was a wise decision.

Do-It-Yourself Numerology: How to Unlock the Secrets of Your Personality With Numbers
|
Amazon.com Review Numbers are so prevalent in our lives--from telephone numbers to zip codes to flight schedules--that we tend to take them for granted, and sometimes even curse their proliferation. However, Sonia Ducie encourages us to see numbers in a different light. With a fairly simple method for working out the numerological influences in your life, Do It Yourself Numerology takes an in-depth look at what each number means to your career, your personality, and even your romantic interests. Ducie's system works with a straightforward examination of your birthday, without the confusing pyramids or magic squares found in a lot of traditional systems. Unlike other numerologists, who reduce two-digit numbers by adding the digits together, Ducie applies meaning to numbers from 1 to 31, allowing the individual characteristics of each day of the month to express themselves. While the book is somewhat limited in its scope, it's well-suited for beginners, giving you a new appreciation of the influences numbers have in your life. --Brian Patterson
