Book excerpt: This “evocative and beautiful” (School Library Journal) novel “vividly imagines the lives of three girls” (Booklist, starred review) in three different time periods as they grow up to become groundbreaking scientists. Maria Merian was sure that caterpillars were not wicked things born from mud, as most people of her time believed. Through careful observation she discovered the truth about metamorphosis and documented her findings in gorgeous paintings of the life cycles of insects. More than a century later, Mary Anning helped her father collect stone sea creatures from the cliffs in southwest England. To him they were merely a source of income, but to Mary they held a stronger fascination. Intrepid and patient, she eventually discovered fossils that would change people’s vision of the past. Across the ocean, Maria Mitchell helped her mapmaker father in the whaling village of Nantucket. At night they explored the starry sky through his telescope. Maria longed to discover a new comet—and after years of studying the night sky, she finally did. Told in vibrant, evocative poems, this stunning novel celebrates the joy of discovery and finding wonder in the world around us.

Download or read book Sea Salt s Hidden Powers written by Jacques De Langre and published by . This book was released on 1993-08-01 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We never outgrow our craving - or our biological need - for salt." What compels us to consume the mineral treasure of the ocean? This book not only probes why sea salt relentlessly attracts us, it also shows us how this indispensable food, given half a chance, can maintain our mental & physical powers. From the very start, the author makes the pivotal distinction that separates true salt that supports our stamina & its modern debased, refined counterpart that endangers the human genus. Recent discoveries, confirmed by medical research & other biologists, point to the ravages caused by refining & the chemicals added to white table salt. Luckily, the book soon reveals sources of natural unrefined salts free of chemical additives. These exquisite & beneficial condiments make food more digestible, very definitely more tasty & even, in many cases, rebuild health. Natural salts are still harvested in a few secluded areas of the world, some under very modern purity standards. This ancient technology for harvesting true human quality salt is alive & well abroad. We still have untouched pristine coastlines. Doesn't it make sense to again produce our own? The right salt has always galvanized the spirit of men & women. "Salaries" maintained morale & courage in Caesar's Roman legions. At a time we seek the determination to regain our lead, this book shows the way.
Download or read book The Hidden Power of Systems Thinking written by Ray Ison and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hidden Power of Systems Thinking: Governance in a Climate Emergency is a persuasive, lively book that shows how systems thinking can be harnessed to effect profound, complex change. In the age of the Anthropocene, the need for new ways of thinking and acting has become urgent. But patterns of obstacles are apparent in any action, be they corporate interests, lobbyists, or outdated political and government systems. Ison and Straw show how and why failure in governance is at the heart of the collective incapacity to tackle the climate and biodiversity emergencies. They go beyond analysis of the problem and demonstrate how incorporating systems thinking into governance at every level would enable us to break free of historical shackles. They propose 26 principles for systemic governance. This book will be inspiring reading for students applying their systemic methods, specialists in change management or public administration, activists for ‘whole system change’ and decision makers wanting to effect challenging transformations. It is for anyone with the ambition to create a sustainable and fair world.

Download or read book Enlightening Symbols written by Joseph Mazur and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-23 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An entertaining look at the origins of mathematical symbols While all of us regularly use basic math symbols such as those for plus, minus, and equals, few of us know that many of these symbols weren't available before the sixteenth century. What did mathematicians rely on for their work before then? And how did mathematical notations evolve into what we know today? In Enlightening Symbols, popular math writer Joseph Mazur explains the fascinating history behind the development of our mathematical notation system. He shows how symbols were used initially, how one symbol replaced another over time, and how written math was conveyed before and after symbols became widely adopted. Traversing mathematical history and the foundations of numerals in different cultures, Mazur looks at how historians have disagreed over the origins of the numerical system for the past two centuries. He follows the transfigurations of algebra from a rhetorical style to a symbolic one, demonstrating that most algebra before the sixteenth century was written in prose or in verse employing the written names of numerals. Mazur also investigates the subconscious and psychological effects that mathematical symbols have had on mathematical thought, moods, meaning, communication, and comprehension. He considers how these symbols influence us (through similarity, association, identity, resemblance, and repeated imagery), how they lead to new ideas by subconscious associations, how they make connections between experience and the unknown, and how they contribute to the communication of basic mathematics. From words to abbreviations to symbols, this book shows how math evolved to the familiar forms we use today.

Download or read book The Hidden Powers of Ritual written by Bradd Shore and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illuminating overview of the development, benefits, and importance of ritual in everyday life, written by a leading cognitive anthropologist. The Hidden Powers of Ritual is an engaging introduction to ritual studies that presents ritual as an evolved form of human behavior of almost unimaginable significance to our species. Every day across the globe, people gather to share meals, brew caffeinated beverages, or honor their ancestors. In this book, Bradd Shore, a respected anthropologist, reaches beyond familiar “big-R” rituals to present life’s humbler, overshadowed moments, exploring everything from the Balinese pelebon to baseball to family Zoom sessions in the age of Covid to the sobering reenactment rituals surrounding the Moore’s Ford lynchings. In each ritual, Shore shows how our capacity to ritualize behavior is a remarkable part of the human story. Encompassing both the commonly unlabeled “interaction rituals” studied by sociologists and the symbolically elaborated sacred rituals of religious studies, Shore organizes his conception around detailed case studies drawn from international research and personal experience, weaving scholarship with a memoir of a life encompassed by ritual. A probing exploration that matches breadth with accessibility, The Hidden Powers of Ritual is a provocative contribution to ritual theory that will appeal to a wide range of readers curious about why these unique repetitive acts matter in our lives.

Download or read book The Hidden Secrets of Water written by Paolo Consigli and published by Watkins Media Limited. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no more important substance on earth than water: it is the source of life, one of the four classic elements and makes up over 70% of our bodies and our planet. This remarkable new book allows us to discover and understand more about this most common of molecules. Water is the most common, and also the most important substance on Earth. We are hypnotically attracted to its simplicity, purity and transparency, as well as its astonishing physical behaviour, structural vibrations and ordered flow, not to mention its amazing therapeutic virtues. Despite its prevalence, however, this astonishing molecule still harbours many mysteries. Through the ages, not only scientists but also philosophers and mystics have sought to interpret the fact that our lives are completely dependent on water. They have drawn parallels with spiritual growth: water is always ready to change, to adapt itself, to create and transform; it could be seen as nature’s guide to improving and renewing ourselves in wisdom and serenity. By going further than just describing its attributes and celebrating its physical properties, The Hidden Secrets of Water seeks to uncover and understand the true depths of this most enigmatic of elements, taking the reader on a journey of discovery that covers the whole spectrum of water’s influence, traversing scientific, social and spiritual planes. From the Ancient Chinese concept of Yin and Yang to numerical and literary symbolism in the Torah, the Fibonacci sequence to string theory, this innovative, intelligent and far-reaching exploration seamlessly brings together modern science and ancient wisdom, technology and humanism, logic and mysticism in a way that will inspire and stimulate all.
Download or read book ACCESSING THE HIDDEN POWERS OF HEAVEN written by ISAIAH MACWEALTH and published by GP Publisher. This book was released on with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of holiness is one that I have longed to write about for a while now because the Spirit of God has put this burden in my heart. The level of misunderstanding about holiness is gross and universal, thus, I believe the Lord wants to use this book to teach and move the church into greater realms of fellowship with Him and greater levels of power. What many teachers teach and what many believe about holiness is not holiness. The word is often interchanged with words like righteousness, consecration, and sanctification, but they are not all the same. Holiness is not just a character or attribute, neither is it a virtue or a set of rules. It is so much more. It is the nature and power of God. Understanding holiness is therefore paramount because it is the key to accessing the unlimited power of God and the glory realm. I believe that one of the reasons many believers are not functioning in the power of God in these last days is because they either do not understand or misunderstand holiness and how to access power by partaking in the holiness of God. If you would function with God and experience face to face encounters with Him, this book is for you. I will be giving you a totally new revelation on Holiness just as the Lord taught me, so, I want you to read and meditate deeply on this book. These are the days of His mighty power, signs and wonders and those who have this revelation can partake of His holiness.
