Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Chapter on Thunder and Lightning, Their Causes and Effects: Together With a Description of David Munson's Copper Tubular Lightning Rod, With Spiral Flanges, as a Perfect Protection Against the Disasters of Electricity With this startling admonition before him, let any one of the readers of these observations pause for a moment and count the number of lightning-rods in his own neighborhood. Does he hesitate? He thinks there may be one on the village Spire, and perhaps another on you tall chimney; but where else, he knows not. N ow, he is led to ask, What is the cause of this apparent neglect? Why this consumate audacity in tri ing with the eternal laws of Nature by erecting monuments and inviting down the fire of heaven, and providing no means of conducting it safely away? Although the extreme magnitude of accidents by lightning cannot be otherwise than recognized by all, and the almost certainty of some one or more buildings being the marked vic tims at every season, yet each man builds with the chance of his edifice not being the fatal one. Amongst so many, the chances are so much in his favor that he will run the risk; or else he comes to the still more unphilosophical conclusion that.
