Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. The Spirit of Light Cubit: The Measure of Humanity and Spirit is a journey that reunifies science and Spirit in our search for purpose in life and in the cosmos. Donald B. Carroll, a firefighter and paramedic who learned on that job that living is about more than the physical, proves the existence of a global-reaching ancient civilization with a key piece of evidence from archeology; that key is an ancient unit of measurement. This unit is found in multiple cultures across continents thousands of years before global communication or travel was thought possible. In this measurement, these ancient societies elegantly united science and spirituality, heaven and earth, time and space seamlessly. The Spirit of Light Cubit is the only book that has discovered and correlated this unit of measurement that is an ultimate symbol of humankind's journey of advancement in civilizations and higher consciousness. Perfect for the person who senses there is much more to life, its purpose, and its meaning than just our physical existence, The Spirit of Light Cubit will interest the seeker who feels that our true journey in life is through our consciousness. You are not alone--since the beginning of humanity, people have understood this, and Carroll now proves it.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Following the alphabet this book uses poetry and expository text to celebrate America's diverse population and showcase the remarkable achievements and contributions that have come from the many people who have chosen to make our country their home. Topics include well-known landmarks and institutions (the Statue of Liberty and the White House, our national parks system) and famous citizens whose talents helped make the United States a world leader (Albert Einstein and Madeleine Albright). In addition to celebrating America's history and development, key concepts such as naturalization and steps to citizenship are explained in easy-to-understand terms for the young reader.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Just 150 years ago, most of our world was an unexplored wilderness. Our sense of its age was vastly off the mark. And what we believed to be the history of our own species consisted of fantastic myths and fairy tales; fossils, known for millennia, were seen as the bones of dragons and other imagined creatures. How did we learn so much so quickly? Remarkable Creatures celebrates the pioneers who replaced our fancies with the even more remarkable real story of how our world evolved. Inspired by Humboldt, the first group we meet -- Darwin, Wallace, and Bates -- returned from their explorations with the makings of the theory of evolution. The second group undertook expeditions that produced some of the most spectacular finds in paleontology: Eugene Dubois uncovered Java Man, the first claimed missing link between apes and humans; Charles Walcott located pre-Cambrian life in the Grand Canyon and Cambrian life in the Burgess Shale; and Roy Chapman Andrews unearthed dinosaur eggs in the Gobi desert of Mongolia. The discovery of the kinship of dinosaurs and birds and the emergence of the fishapod formed more links in the evolutionary chain, as did the work of Louis and Mary Leakey, who for five decades searched for our deepest past in East Africa. The final section of the book moves into the laboratory and the future, following the trailblazers who discovered a time clock in our DNA and extracted ancient DNA from extinct species. Join Carroll and his cast of naturalists for a rousing voyage through the most dramatic adventures and important discoveries in two centuries of natural history.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. There is evidence that the knowing of spirituality can be unified with the observations of science through two geometric symbols consisting of the triangle and the arc and their aspects. Donald B. Carroll shows how, through the millenniums, religions have intuited the importance of these shapes and incorporated their symbolism throughout their beliefs, while these same shapes have been found by modern science to be the essence of life and the cosmos.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. DNA, the genetic blueprint of all creatures, is a stunningly rich and detailed record of evolution. Every change or new trait, from the gaudy colors of tropical birds to our color vision with which we admire them, is due to changes in DNA that leave a record and can be traced. Just as importantly, the DNA evidence has revealed several profound surprises about how evolution actually works.…

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. The never-before-told account of the intersection of some of the most insightful minds of the 20th century, and a fascinating look at how war, resistance, and friendship can catalyze genius. In the spring of 1940, the aspiring but unknown writer Albert Camus and budding scientist Jacques Monod were quietly pursuing ordinary, separate lives in Paris. After the German invasion and occupation of France, each joined the Resistance to help liberate the country from the Nazis and ascended to prominent, dangerous roles. After the war and through twists of circumstance, they became friends, and through their passionate determination and rare talent they emerged as leading voices of modern literature and biology, each receiving the Nobel Prize in their respective fields. Drawing upon a wealth of previously unpublished and unknown material gathered over several years of research, Brave Genius tells the story of how each man endured the most terrible episode of the twentieth century and then blossomed into extraordinarily creative and engaged individuals. It is a story of the transformation of ordinary lives into exceptional lives by extraordinary events--of courage in the face of overwhelming adversity, the flowering of creative genius, deep friendship, and of profound concern for and insight into the human condition.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. What happened two hundred years ago to the Bell family of northern Tennessee? Was there a malignant entity who openly afflicted the family over a period of five years causing the death of John Bell and irretrievably disrupting the life of young Betsy Bell who bore the brunt of the punishments doled out by the Bell Witch? Numerous accounts and witnesses of the time indicate a supernatural origin of the Witch. Even the famous Andrew Jackson apparently ran afoul of the Bell Witch when he visited the Bell home. For over two centuries, supernatural and psychic explanations have been the accepted wisdom surrounding the Bell Witch. Now, author Paul Herndon, who grew up near the historic Bell farm in northern Tennessee, offers his own theory on the origins of the Bell Witch and the role of Betsy Bell as the central protagonist surrounding the two-hundred-year-old mystery.…
