January 2021Cells, Tissue, and Skin, Third Edition
by Donna Bozzone, Ph.D. and Douglas B. Light, Ph.D.
Cells are the smallest units capable of sustaining life, and they make up virtually every aspect of the human body. From the strands of hair at the top of the head to the nails on fingers and toes, every structure of the human body is composed of cells. Groups of cells form tissues and organs, which allow the body to function as an organized system. Skin, the body’s largest organ, forms a waterproof barrier that provides protection against invading microorganisms and acts as a sensory and thermoregulatory structure. Cells, Tissues, and Skin, Third Edition explores the properties of each of these components in our bodies. Packed with full-color photographs and illustrations, this absorbing book provides students with sufficient background information through references, websites, and a bibliography.

Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2012Justifying violence
Communicative ethics and the use of force in Kosovo
by Naomi Head, Peter Lawler, Emmanuel Pierre Guittet
When is the use of force for humanitarian purposes legitimate? The book examines this question through one of the most controversial examples of humanitarian intervention in the post Cold War period: the 1999 NATO intervention in Kosovo. Justifying Violence applies a critical theoretical approach to an interrogation of the communicative practices which underpin claims to legitimacy for the use of force by actors in international politics. Drawing on the theory of communicative ethics, the book develops an innovative conceptual framework which contributes a critical communicative dimension to the question of legitimacy that extends beyond the moral and legal approaches so often applied to the intervention in Kosovo. The empirical application of communicative ethics offers a provocative and nuanced account which contests conventional interpretations of the legitimacy of NATO's intervention. ;

Mind, Body, SpiritMay the Loveforce Be With You
Kali-Ki Reiki: Healing Through Divine Mother & Yogic Wisdom
by Rajashree Maa
May the Loveforce Be With introduces a new lineage in energy healing, Kali-Ki ReikiTM, that was revealed to the author, Joni Dittrich, Ph.D. (Rajashree Maa), in a series of mystical encounters with the Divine Mother appearing as the goddess Kali Maa. The book brilliantly tells the stories of these encounters and presents the healing symbols that She revealed, explaining how these symbols can be used both for mind-body healing and spiritual awakening, or what Rajashree Maa calls "wisening." While traditional reiki systems also use symbols to transmit healing energy, the symbols introduced in Kali-Ki Reiki are seen as unique, three-dimensional, active, intelligent forms of light that tap into certain universal energy frequencies that are particularly attuned to the evolving conscious awareness as well as the personal and societal dilemmas of our current times. The fact that these symbols were revealed by Divine Mother to a woman in this era points to a need in today's world to re-establish our connection with the feminine forces of nature and spirit. The healing energy transmitted through these symbols is called Loveforce, which is considered to be the manifesting, creative, and healing power of the Limitless Love that is the Source of all that is.

Krav Magá: Cómo defenderse contra ataques físicos
by Imi Sde-Or y el Instructor principal Eyal Yanilov
Krav Magá: Cómo defenderse contra ataques físicos por el Gran maestro Imi Sde-Or y el Instructor principal Eyal Yanilov En 2009 se publicarán dos volúmenes de próxima aparición en esta serie de superventas, titulados Krav Magá, basada en el famoso método israelí de combate sin armas, que se centra ahora en cómo defenderse contra un ataque sin armas, como por ejemplo, todo tipo de golpes y puntapiés, calces, cogeduras, etc. Krav Magá, desarrollado desde la década de 1930 por el Gran maestro Imi Sde-Or (Lichtenfeld), era antes un método de combate cuerpo a cuerpo estrictamente limitado a agentes de seguridad y a miembros del Mossad y de unidades de comando del ejército israelí. El método ha sido adaptado para civiles, de modo que cualquier persona de cualquier edad, sexo o capacidad física pueda utilizarlo. Esta disciplina, basada en reacciones naturales del cuerpo humano, es fácil de aprender y de ejecutar y es de uso práctico. Krav Magá goza actualmente de una popularidad creciente y de una cada vez mayor aceptación por parte de expertos de todo el mundo. En Estados Unidos y en varios países de Europa, este singular método de autodefensa ya se enseña y se utiliza tanto por parte de diversos organismos de seguridad como del ciudadano de a pie. Krav Magá: Cómo defenderse contra ataques físicos escrito por Imi Sde-Or y su principal discípulo Eyal Yanilov como parte de la serie del fundador, es el primero de dos volúmenes que presentan los principios clave y los métodos de entrenamiento para el combate sin armas. El libro, diseñado en un formato accesible y escalonado, cubre los fundamentos, desde seguridad en el entrenamiento, calentamiento, estiramiento y flexibilidad, hasta principios de ataques, posturas y posiciones iniciales. Los autores ofrecen estrategias para todo marco hipotético imaginable: puñetazos y puntapiés como medio de defensa, liberarse de calces, llaves de cabeza y llave nelson, agarres, puñetazos, derribamientos, etc. El libro, que también hace hincapié en los fundamentos psicológicos de la disciplina, amplía su utilidad con secciones sobre entrenamiento mental, puntos vulnerables, atacantes múltiples y autodefensa para mujeres.Acerca de los autoresEyal Yanilov comenzó a los 15 años a entrenarse en Krav Magá con el Gran maestro Imi Sde-Or. Yanilov fue la primera persona que comenzó a entrenar a instructores de Krav Magá fuera de Israel y ha enseñado a unidades especiales, a militares y a civiles en más de 18 países. El Gran maestro Imi Sde-Or, fundador de Krav Magá, falleció en 1998 a los 88 años. Se prevé la publicación de una versión en inglés americano en el verano de 2010. Cada volumen contiene 240 páginas, y en ambos más de 800 fotos e ilustraciones en blanco y negro; 16,5 x 24 cm.

Early learning / early learning conceptsOctober 2017Una cabeza distinta (A different head)
by Luis Panini, Chiara Carrer
This child tells us that he is not happy with the head that he has. He thinks it is a wrong head. The parents, after listening to him, take him to a specialist, who agrees with the little one. A mysterious man dressed in black supplies him with heads in exchange for his own. The child tries several, until he finds the one he was looking for. A reindeer head, a crocodile head, a whisk head: the narrator child and protagonist of this story tells us about his disagreement with the head he has and the vicissitudes that he has to go through to find the head with which he will finally agree: the head of a grown man, of a mathematician. This is a story of search for identity and growth, developed with fine fantasy and humor, with the wisdom of someone he has sought and perhaps already found.

The Spiritual Lives of Scientists
by Paul J. Mills, Ph.D.
Spirituality is the Final Frontier for ScienceContrary to popular belief, not all scientists are materialists fervently discounting the spiritual. Science, Being, & Becoming is about the spiritual lives of scientists, their actual transpersonal, metaphysical and mystical experiences. The book's material is derived from intimate interviews with over 30 scientists as they describe the circumstances under which they had the experiences and how those experiences changed their consciousness, transformed their belief systems about the nature of the world, and changed their scientific work.

Agriculture & related industriesDecember 1999National Farm Survey 1941-43
State Surveillance and the Countryside in England and Wales in the Second World War
by Brian Short, William Foot, Phil Kinsman. Edited by Charles Watkins.
During the Second World War, there was concern as to whether Britain, unable to import food from abroad, would be able to feed the population. Therefore, the National Farm Survey was conducted during 1941-43, and described every farm in England and Wales in great detail. Because of its sensitivity, this material only became publicly available in 1992 after a fifty-year closure period. Information on farming types, cropping and stocking, machinery, employment, farm size and structure, land ownership and farm buildings was provided for all farms which were larger than 5 acres at that time.This book gives an overview of the Survey, and provides the most complete ‘Doomsday’ of British agriculture available, including maps and illustrations of the areas surveyed at that time. It is a unique source for measuring post-war changes in agriculture, environment and society.
