Earth Under Fire

Humanity's Survival of the Ice Age

By: Paul A. LaViolette

An investigation of the connection between ancient world catastrophe myths and modern scientific evidence of a galactic destruction cycle • Provides scientific evidence of past Earth-wide catastrophes and their galactic superwave origins • Decodes the ancient message encrypted in the zodiac constellations and symbolism of the Sphinx • Describes how explosions of our Galaxy’s core pose a threat to humanity in the future Many ancient myths from around the world tell of catastrophic destruction by fire and flood. These ubiquitous legends are so extreme that they are often dismissed as imaginative exaggerations. In Earth Under Fire, Paul LaViolette connects these "myths" to recent scientific findings in astronomy, geology, and archaeology to reconstruct the details of prehistoric global disasters and to explain how similar tragedies could recur in the near future. Compelled by his decryption of an ancient warning hidden in zodiac constellation lore, LaViolette worked with information from many scientific sources, including astronomical observations, polar ice core measurements, and other geological data, to confirm that our Galaxy’s core exploded near the end of the last ice age. This explosion unleashed a barrage of cosmic rays and enveloped the solar system in a dense nebula, which led to periods of persistent darkness, frigid cold, severe solar storms, searing heat, and mountainous floods that plagued mankind for many generations. Linking his scientific findings to details preserved in the myths and monuments of ancient civilizations, he demonstrates how past civilizations accurately recorded the causes of these cataclysmic events, knowledge of which may be crucial for the human race to survive the next catastrophic superwave cycle. This information reveals the intelligence and ingenuity of our ancestors who, when faced with extinction, found the means to warn us that the apocalypse that destroyed them could occur once again.

Bill Brandt

A Life

By: Paul Delany

Bill Brandt, the greatest of British photographers, who visually defined the English identity in the mid-twentieth century, was an enigma. Indeed, despite his assertions to the contrary, he was not in fact English at all. His life, like much of his work, was an elaborate construction. England was his adopted homeland and the English were his chosen subject. The England in which Brandt arrived in the Thirties was deeply polarized. He photographed both upstairs and downstairs, and recorded the industrial north as well as the society rounds of the affluent south. Although much of his work was for the new illustrated magazines, it was frequently influenced by surrealism and an eye for the slightly strange. The subjects of his portraits include the greatest creative figures of his age, and his English landscapes were sublime. His radical treatment of the female body forms a landmark in the history of the photography. Paul Delany ambitiously traces the details of Brandts life and reveals how the biographical facts and the fantasies that accompanied them deeply affected Brandts work. The biography is richly illustrated with duotone reproductions of his masterpieces and a number of unpublished private photographs.

Introduction to Microscopy by Means of Light, Electrons, X Rays, or Acoustics

By: Theodore G. Rochow,Paul A. Tucker

Following three printings of the First Edition (1978), the publisher has asked for a Second Edition to bring the contents up to date. In doing so the authors aim to show how the newer microscopies are related to the older types with respect to theoretical resolving power (what you pay for) and resolution (what you get). The book is an introduction to students, technicians, technologists, and scientists in biology, medicine, science, and engineering. It should be useful in academic and industrial research, consulting, and forensics; how ever, the book is not intended to be encyclopedic. The authors are greatly indebted to the College of Textiles of North Carolina State University at Raleigh for support from the administration there for typing, word processing, stationery, mailing, drafting diagrams, and general assistance. We personally thank Joann Fish for word process ing, Teresa M. Langley and Grace Parnell for typing services, Mark Bowen for drawing graphs and diagrams, Chuck Gardner for photographic ser vices, Deepak Bhattavahalli for his work with the proofs, and all the other people who have given us their assistance. The authors wish to acknowledge the many valuable suggestions given by Eugene G. Rochow and the significant editorial contributions made by Elizabeth Cook Rochow.

Lead with a Story

A Guide to Crafting Business Narratives that Captivate, Convince, and Inspire

By: Paul Smith

Storytelling has come of age in the business world. Today, many of the most successful companies use storytelling as a leadership tool. At Nike, all senior executives are designated "corporate storytellers." 3M banned bullet points years ago and replaced them with a process of writing "strategic narratives." Procter Gamble hired Hollywood directors to teach its executives storytelling techniques. Some forward-thinking business schools have even added storytelling courses to their management curriculum. The reason for this is simple: Stories have the ability to engage an audience the way logic and bullet points alone never could. Whether you are trying to communicate a vision, sell an idea, or inspire commitment, storytelling is a powerful business tool that can mean the difference between mediocre results and phenomenal success. Lead with a Story contains both ready-to-use stories and how-to guidance for readers looking to craft their own. Designed for a wide variety of business challenges, the book shows how narrative can help: * Define culture and values * Engender creativity and innovation * Foster collaboration and build relationships * Provide coaching and feedback * Lead change * And more Whether in a speech or a memo, communicated to one person or a thousand, storytelling is an essential skill for success. Complete with examples from companies like Kellogg's, Merrill-Lynch, Procter Gamble, National Car Rental, Wal-Mart, Pizza Hut, and more, this practical resource gives readers the guidance they need to deliver stories to stunning effect.

Linear Programming and Economic Analysis

By: Robert Dorfman,Paul Anthony Samuelson,Robert M. Solow

Designed primarily for economists and those interested in management economics who are not necessarily accomplished mathematicians, this text offers a clear, concise exposition of the relationship of linear programming to standard economic analysis. The research and writing were supported by The RAND Corporation in the late 1950s. Linear programming has been one of the most important postwar developments in economic theory, but until publication of the present volume, no text offered a comprehensive treatment of the many facets of the relationship of linear programming to traditional economic theory. This book was the first to provide a wide-ranging survey of such important aspects of the topic as the interrelations between the celebrated von Neumann theory of games and linear programming, and the relationship between game theory and the traditional economic theories of duopoly and bilateral monopoly. Modern economists will especially appreciate the treatment of the connection between linear programming and modern welfare economics and the insights that linear programming gives into the determinateness of Walrasian equilibrium. The book also offers an excellent introduction to the important Leontief theory of input-output as well as extensive treatment of the problems of dynamic linear programming. Successfully used for three decades in graduate economics courses, this book stresses practical problems and specifies important concrete applications.

BRIDGING THE GAP IN HEALTH CARE 2

MULTIDIMENSIONAL ASSESSMENT

By: PAUL TURNER

BRIDGING THE GAP IN HEALTH CARE 2 – MULTIDIMENSIONAL ASSESSMENT. This book helps to integrate assessment on all levels of being multi-dimensionally from an energetic/spiritual perspective rather than focusing on integrating assessment from a more mechanical, structural perspective. A multidimensional model of assessment is discussed which can be scientifically explored and tested using the instruments of self consciousness (i.e. the mind and our inner senses). When successfully implemented these ideas should help to consciously bridge the gap between the intellect and intuition. It is a useful resource for any practitioner/healer who works with energies or anyone simply wishing to develop a deeper understanding of self. Testimonials: This book brilliantly synthesizes current understandings of what takes place during a healing session. It explains lucidly what unconsciously occurs at an energy level during healing, and provides a methodology for diagnosis and treatment using the power of the mind. Anyone who reads this book and puts into practice Paul's techniques will find their treatments will improve significantly...Geoff Charles (Remedial Massage Therapist). This book gives lots of ideas for treatment, as well as linking both the physical with the energetic, leading to a more holistic way of treatment. Very Informative...Bronwyn Butterworth (Naturopath/Massage Therapist)

Mounting Evidence

Why We Need a New Investigation into 9/11

By: Paul W. Rea

In one volume, Mounting Evidence provides the most important evidence accumulated over many years that calls into question the governments account of 9/11. Any citizen of conscience reading it will demand a new investigation. Mike Gravel, United States Senate, 1969-1981 Theres little doubt the tragic attacks on 9/11 soon became the defining events of our time, shaping much of what has followed. But even now, over a decade later, how well does the public actually understand them? Other researchers have written about key facets of 9/11-the fall of World Trade Center buildings, the air-defense failures, the backgrounds of the hijackers, or the role of the Saudi funders. This impressively researched volume, however, is the first comprehensive treatment of the many different angles. It connects the dots to reveal disturbing patterns. Years after many of us thought the Crime of the Century was solved, case closed, additional evidence demands a closer look. These findings, which Dr. Rea presents in a lively, accessible way, call out for a new investigation. In Mounting Evidence, Dr. Rea shows how, by understanding the shattering events of that dark day, Americans can end seemingly endless wars, take back personal liberties theyve lost, and restore their democracy.

Injustice...-N- Georgia...

State of Emergency

By: Paul J. Austin

Neoslavery, Injustice, Genocide, Racism, and Hate live in the bosom chest of the people behind the prison industry complex here in antediluvian times. Wrong turn, Georgia! Particularly the police, legislators, judges, district attorneys, prosecutors, prison officials, pardon and paroles board officials, the Governor, and most so-called defense attorneys, just to name a few! And the people that they are endeavoring to extirpate and remove from the planet altogether is the BLACK MAN! I am apperception that to some the aforementioned may sound bizarre and unconventional. But its the unadulterated truth. We must remember that Georgia assiduously fought to maintain CHATTEL-SLAVERY! And they were the last to enter into the UNION! And they boldly stressed that the South will rise again. And it has. I maintain that the Federal Government has entered into a Klandestine-Konspiracy with Georgias pernicious and flagitious officials, which is to allow the officials to execute their Neoslavery via their prison industry complex. I submit to you that you will visit in this book in Technicolor vivid accounts of Assault, Murder, Cover-Ups, Sex Scandals, Racketeering, Discrimination, and other egregious injustices by the aforementioned officials! Which is carried out against convicts and inmates. And you can believe the beforehand or not, but the pardons and paroles board officials operate with impunity and diplomatic immunity! And they have more POWER than the President of the United States! The BLACK MAN is the majority in any prison or jail in the United States. And thats both federal and state. Moreover, the aforementioned is not an accident! It is the wholly quintessence of a proficient Klandestine Konspiracy to eradicate the BLACK MAN! It is also called a Sophisticated-Genocide-Plan! And let it be overstood that to destroy the Black Man is also the demise of the BLACK WOMAN! Because the Black Woman cannot exist without the Black Man! Paul J. Austin
