Book excerpt: Frank Compton used to be an agent for the security forces of Earth, but that was a piece of cake compared to what he's had to deal with working for the aliens who run the Quadrail, an interstellar transportation system connecting a dozen civilizations across the galaxy. He's been trying to end the domination of an alien lifeform called the Modhri. This enormously powerful creature wants to rule the galaxy by controlling the thoughts of all its citizens. It does so by having parts of itself "infect" others on contact, and act as agents for it without them being aware they're being manipulated. When Frank and his assistant Bayta journey to investigate a connection between the Modhri and the Filiaelians, they come up against a conspiracy on the Quadrail. Passengers are being murdered...but something besides murder haunts the Quadrail. A plot is brewing that even the Modhri fears. And once again, Frank and Bayta may be the only ones who can stop it.

But now a new threat has boarded, one that troubles even the Modhri. While the Quadrail is en route to the farthest edge of the galaxy, a murder by poison occurs—then another and another—dark happenings that are not only disturbing but also technically impossible.

Book excerpt: It's impossible to know when and how the dominos of someone's life will start to fall. When Katie Race, a working Alabama foster mom with a passion for hunting deer, gets a summons for jury duty, she has no idea how far she would actually go to see justice served. At the trial, she learns about the despicable transgressions of Larry Cunningham, a forty-two-year-old unmarried youth minister from Loxley Lutheran Church, just down the street from where she lives. Cunningham was once adored by the female parishioners at his church, but he had a rule: He never dated the mothers of the children. Of course, that didn't stop young women from swooning over him-and it didn't stop Larry from molesting their young boys. The grand jury on which Katie serves promptly indicts Cunningham, who is arrested and brought to court. But before a trial can ever really begin, the charges are dropped because of a technicality. Katie can't tolerate the idea of the authorities doing nothing as a known child molester endangers the community, so she decides to put her hunting skills to the test to track down Cunningham. Dominos tells the riveting story of a community betrayed and one woman's decision to do what she thinks is right, no matter the consequences.

Download or read book The Self Illusion written by Bruce Hood and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of us believe that we are an independent, coherent self--an individual inside our head who thinks, watches, wonders, dreams, and makes plans for the future. This sense of our self may seem incredibly real but a wealth of recent scientific evidence reveals that it is not what it seems--it is all an illusion.In The Self Illusion, Bruce Hood reveals how the self emerges during childhood and how the architecture of the developing brain enables us to become social animals dependent on each other. Humans spend proportionally the greatest amount of time in childhood compared to any other animal. It's not only to learn from others, Hood notes, but also to learn to become like others. We learn to become our self. Even as adults we are continually developing and elaborating this story, learning to become different selves in different situations--the work self, the home self, the parent self. Moreover, Hood shows that this already fluid process--the construction of self--has dramatically changed in recent years. Social networking activities--such as blogging, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter--are fast becoming socialization on steroids. The speed and ease at which we can form alliances and relationships are outstripping the same selection processes that shaped our self prior to the internet era. Things will never be the same again in the online social world. Hood offers our first glimpse into this unchartered territory.Who we are is, in short, a story of our self--a narrative that our brain creates. Like the science fiction movie, we are living in a matrix that is our mind. But Hood concludes that though the self is an illusion, it is an illusion we must continue to embrace to live happily in human society.

This book was released on 1999-07-12 with total page 1930 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past few decades numerous scientists have called for a unification of the fields of embryo development, genetics, and evolution. Each field has glaring holes in its ability to explain the fundamental phenomena of life. In this book, the author shows how the phenomenon of cell differentiation, considered in its temporal and spatial aspects during embryogenesis, provides a starting point for a unified theory of multicellular organisms (plants, fungi and animals), including their evolution and genetics. This unification is based on the recent discovery of differentiation waves by the author and his colleagues, described in the appendices, and illustrated by a flip movie prepared by a medical artist. To help the reader through the many fields covered, a glossary is included.This book will be of great value to the researcher and practicing doctors/scientists alike. The research students will receive an in-depth tutorial on the topics covered. The seasoned researcher will appreciate the applications and the gold mine of other possibilities for novel research topics.
