Book excerpt: This book is for those who want enlightenment, but can¡_t afford the plane ticket to Tibet. If you can¡_t afford this book, that¡_s not a problem either. The secret to enlightenment can be found in the introduction of the book, thereby bypassing hours of needless reading. Of course, once you¡_re enlightened, there¡_s not much left to do in life, so you might as well finish the book.And this is no ordinary book! It¡_s a collection of Daniel Reynolds¡_ cult column, Slightly OFF, a column where you never know what to expect. Slightly OFF skips all the bashing and mudslinging of other commentary columns and simply forces its readers to look at popular culture through psycho-colored glasses, dressing familiar things in new clothes to see how ridiculous they looked in the old ones. Fifty of the best Slightly OFFs are here, ranging in topics from politics to sex to Pepsi to religion to beauty to mustard. And when you combine religion and mustard, it¡_s never pretty.This collection includes:-¡°A Fish Named God:¡± A theology based on a goldfish; no LSD required.-¡°Wanted by the FBI:¡± The nation¡_s most wanted felons, including Santa Claus.-¡°Sex and the Oklahoma City:¡± Cutting through the ¡°latex curtain¡± in the Midwest.-¡°Tales from the ER:¡± The dark side of medicine has nothing to do with malpractice. It has to do with shampoo bottles.-¡°Parenting:¡± Five children, five adults and a three bedroom house. ¡rNuff said.When all is said and done, you may not be enlightened, but you¡_ll probably feel a little unbalanced. And that¡_s close enough.

Book excerpt: Welcome to the world of Slightly OFF, a college column where politicians are advised to create scandals for themselves (to get free media coverage), the Tooth Fairy is wanted by the FBI (for trafficking) and Jesus Christ and Jason Voorhees have a lot in common (they both came back from the dead, for instance). In Slightly OFF: God, Sex and All Stops in Between, the best of over four years of Slightly OFF is gathered. At times hilarious, serious, poignant, and psychotic, this is a collection that slices into every facet of American culture. It includes: -"Female Porn" The scientific study that proves once and for all that Cosmo is worse than Playboy. -"Frogs, Dogs and David Arquette" Why, in an era of information, do our commercials provide anything but? -"English 101" This is where your language came from. Unfortunately, it's been influenced by the French. -"I Killed Someone" A reflection on the time the author spent with Wanda Jean Allen, a death row inmate who made national headlines, just weeks before her execution. Once you read this, you may never look at your world the same way again. You certainly will never look at mustard the same way again.

Book excerpt: Humor essays from a radio host and syndicated columnist who is the “Erma Bombeck for a whole new generation of frazzled moms and dads” (Amy Carr, Daily Herald).

From bringing home the new baby to dog training and the thermostat wars, Supermom has seen it all.

Her essays bubble with wit, freshness, and ever-so-real life.” —Jacquelyn Mitchard, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Deep End of the Ocean “Anyone thinking of committing to parenthood needs to read Deb DiSandro.

Download or read book Coherent Light Microscopy written by Pietro Ferraro and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-02-09 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the latest achievements in the field of optical coherent microscopy. While many other books exist on microscopy and imaging, this book provides a unique resource dedicated solely to this subject. Similarly, many books describe applications of holography, interferometry and speckle to metrology but do not focus on their use for microscopy. The coherent light microscopy reference provided here does not focus on the experimental mechanics of such techniques but instead is meant to provide a users manual to illustrate the strengths and capabilities of developing techniques. The areas of application of this technique are in biomedicine, medicine, life sciences, nanotechnology and materials sciences.

Download or read book The Interplanetary Laser Jousting Tournament HB written by John Barry and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-28 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Interplanetary Laser Jousting Tournament (HB) Or Relativity Revised By: John Barry It is said that two spaceships going away from each other at very high speeds are able to see light from the other travelling at the proper speed of light because space contracts and time slows down. What would happen if these two spacecrafts passed each other? Would space suddenly invert and time change speed? How would a spaceship travelling between two light sources, such as stars, see light from both going the right speed at the same time? If, on the other hand, light travels at a broad range of speeds and we can detect only that which is going the right speed for us, then where is all the other light hiding? An electron in a cyclotron that is accelerated toward a target at close to the speed of light gains mass. If the target were racing away at a near equal speed, would that extra mass turn out to not be there? This book suggests an alternate theory to special relativity and a few experiments to prove it – or help us to learn something new.

Download or read book Introduction to Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging written by Richard B. Buxton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-08-27 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) has become a standard tool for mapping the working brain's activation patterns, both in health and in disease. It is an interdisciplinary field and crosses the borders of neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, radiology, mathematics, physics and engineering. Developments in techniques, procedures and our understanding of this field are expanding rapidly. In this second edition of Introduction to Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Richard Buxton – a leading authority on fMRI – provides an invaluable guide to how fMRI works, from introducing the basic ideas and principles to the underlying physics and physiology. He covers the relationship between fMRI and other imaging techniques and includes a guide to the statistical analysis of fMRI data. This book will be useful both to the experienced radiographer, and the clinician or researcher with no previous knowledge of the technology.
