Plants growing in tropical alpine environments (at altitudesabove the closed canopy forest and below the limit of plant life)have evolved distinct forms to cope with a hostile environmentcharacterized by cold, drought and fire. Unlike temperate alpineenvironments, where there are distinct seasons of favourable andunfavourable conditions for growth, tropical alpine habitatspresent summer conditions every day and winter conditions everynight. Using examples from all over the tropics, this fascinatingaccount reviews, for the first time, the unique form and functionalrelationships of tropical alpine plants examining both theirphysiological ecology and population biology. It will appeal toanyone interested in tropical vegetation and plant physiologicaladaptations to hostile environment, as well as to researchers inbiogeography and ecology.

Quantum-Touch teaches ways to focus and amplify life-forceenergy (chi) through simple breathing and body awarenessexercises. The result stimulates the subject’s biologicalintelligence to do whatever healing it deems necessary ineverything from major immune disorders to chronic pain to emotionaldisturbances. In Supercharging Quantum-Touch , prominentteacher Alain Herriott takes students and followers ofQuantum-Touch beyond the basics, sharing the techniques used by thebest, most effective practitioners. From the hundreds of workshops he’s conducted around the world,Herriott has gathered questions that he addresses here in a directway that refines, clarifies, broadens, and deepens the work. Thebook begins by walking readers through the basic attributes of thebest practitioners. Bit by bit, more techniques are added and“stacked” or laid out to create a step-by-step approach to work onanything a client needs, including (though not limited to) generalpain, physical imbalances, and emotional issues. St

Isaac Newton was a dedicated alchemist, a fact usually obscuredas unsuited to his stature as a leader of the scientificrevolution. Author Philip Ashley Fanning has diligently examinedthe evidence and concludes that the two major aspects of Newton'sresearch--conventional science and alchemy--were actuallyinseparable. In "Isaac Newton and the Transmutation of Alchemy,"Fanning reveals the surprisingly profound influence that Newton'sstudy of this hermetic art had in shaping his widely adoptedscientific concepts. Alchemy was an ancient tradition ofspeculative philosophy that promised miraculous powers, such as theability to change base metals into gold and the possibility of auniversal solvent or elixir of life. Fanning compellingly describesthis carefully tended esoteric institution, which may have foundits greatest advocate in the career of the father of modernscience. Relegated to the fringes of discourse until itstwentieth-century revival by innovative thinkers such aspsychiatrist Carl Jung, alchemy offers a

Galileo’s Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief WorldSystems , published in Florence in 1632, was the most proximatecause of his being brought to trial before the Inquisition. Usingthe dialogue form, a genre common in classical philosophical works,Galileo masterfully demonstrates the truth of the Copernican systemover the Ptolemaic one, proving, for the first time, that the earthrevolves around the sun. Its influence is incalculable. TheDialogue is not only one of the most important scientific treatisesever written, but a work of supreme clarity and accessibility,remaining as readable now as when it was first published. Thisedition uses the definitive text established by the University ofCalifornia Press, in Stillman Drake’s translation, and includes aForeword by Albert Einstein and a new Introduction by J. L.Heilbron.

Anthrax. Smallpox. Incurable and horrifying Ebola-relatedfevers. For two decades, while a fearful world prepared for nuclearwinter, an elite team of Russian bioweaponeers began to till a newkilling field: a bleak tract sown with powerful seeds of massdestruction--by doctors who had committed themselves to creating abiological Armageddon. Biohazard is the never-before-told story ofRussia's darkest, deadliest, and most closely guarded Cold Warsecret. No one knows more about Russia's astounding experiments withbiowarfare than Ken Alibek. Now the mastermind behind Russia's germwarfare effort reveals two decades of shocking breakthroughs...howMoscow's leading scientists actually reengineered hazardousmicrobes to make them even more virulent...the secrets behind thediscovery of an invisible, untraceable new class of biologicalagents just right for use in political assassinations...thestartling story behind Russia's attempt to turn a sample of theAIDS virus into the ultimate bioweapon. And in a chilling

A riveting tale of the battle over genetically engineeredfoods, and an inside look at a biotech food empire. Ultimately astory of idealism, and conflicting dreams about the shape of abetter world. Softcover.

The 5th edition of "Physics" has been edited to clarifyconceptual development in light of recent findings from physicseducation research, and the mechanics sequence has beenre-organized to that energy is a capstone topic. The presentationof thermodynamics and quantum mechanics has been updated to providea more modern approach, and the end-of-chapter problem sets havebeen thoroughly over-hauled: new problems added; out-datedreference deleted; and new short-answer conceptual questions added.The supplements package has been expanded to include more materialsfor student and instructor.

A new edition of the most definitive collection of AlbertEinstein's popular writings, gathered under the supervision ofEinstein himself. The selections range from his earliest days as atheoretical physicist to his death in 1955; from such subjects asrelativity, nuclear war or peace, and religion and science, tohuman rights, economics, and government.
