Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the persistence of life and how difficult it would be to annihilate life, especially a species as successful as humanity. The idea that life in general is fragile is challenged by the hardiness of microbes, which shows that astrobiology on exoplanets and other satellites must be robust and plentiful. Microbes have adapted to virtually every niche on the planet, from the deep, hot biosphere, to the frigid heights of the upper troposphere. Life, it seems, is almost indestructible. The chapters in this work examine the various scenarios that might lead to the extermination of life, and why they will almost always fail. Life's highly adaptive nature ensures that it will cling on no matter how difficult the circumstances. Scientists are increasingly probing and questioning life's true limits in, on and above the Earth, and how these limits could be pushed elsewhere in the universe. This investigation puts life in its true astronomical context, with the reader taken on a journey to illustrate life's potential and perseverance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A manual for opening the doors of perception and directly engaging the intelligence of the Natural World • Provides exercises to directly perceive and interact with the complex, living, self-organizing being that is Gaia • Reveals that every life form on Earth is highly intelligent and communicative • Examines the ecological function of invasive plants, bacterial resistance to antibiotics, psychotropic plants and fungi, and the human species In Plant Intelligence and the Imaginal Realm, Stephen Harrod Buhner reveals that all life forms on Earth possess intelligence, language, a sense of I and not I, and the capacity to dream. He shows that by consciously opening the doors of perception, we can reconnect with the living intelligences in Nature as kindred beings, become again wild scientists, nondomesticated explorers of a Gaian world just as Goethe, Barbara McClintock, James Lovelock, and others have done. For as Einstein commented, “We cannot solve the problems facing us by using the same kind of thinking that created them.” Buhner explains how to use analogical thinking and imaginal perception to directly experience the inherent meanings that flow through the world, that are expressed from each living form that surrounds us, and to directly initiate communication in return. He delves deeply into the ecological function of invasive plants, bacterial resistance to antibiotics, psychotropic plants and fungi, and, most importantly, the human species itself. He shows that human beings are not a plague on the planet, they have a specific ecological function as important to Gaia as that of plants and bacteria. Buhner shows that the capacity for depth connection and meaning-filled communication with the living world is inherent in every human being. It is as natural as breathing, as the beating of our own hearts, as our own desire for intimacy and love. We can change how we think and in so doing begin to address the difficulties of our times.

Book excerpt: Is there a universal human natural moral system-a moral system inherent in human nature, resulting from fundamental natural principles and evolutionary processes, discernible and explainable via the fast-improving scientific understanding of human behavior and evolution, and which satisfies the basic requirements associated with systems of morality? Is it valid-scientifically and rationally-to acknowledge the existence of the natural moral system and use it to improve human moral understanding? To inform public policy? To help address the shared problems of humanity? To help us live together better? To facilitate happiness? What is the nature of the natural moral system? What are its foundational characteristics? What is the relationship between morality and survival? Morality and happiness? And what about meaning? What are the obligations of political and corporate leaders, scientists, educators, and others to use the human gift of reason to help improve the human condition? Integrating recent advances in scientific understanding, and viewing them from the standpoint of questions traditionally asked by philosophers, Jeff Huggins addresses these questions of immense relevance to the sustainability and quality of human life, biodiversity, and the environment as well as to our everyday lives as modern humans.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is the human purpose to propagate Life". In this popular science title, a well recognized researcher describes how we can seed new solar systems with microbial representatives of our family of organic life. The book also describes a life-centered astroethics that will motivate these missions, based on the unity of all gene/protein life: a common ancestry; a unique complexity, and the coincidence of physical laws that allow biology, giving life a special place in Nature; a shared drive for survival and procreation, and a shared future. As part of this family, it is our purpose to safeguard and expand life in the universe. To advance this purpose, Professor Mautner pioneered research on the fertilities of extra-terrestrial materials in asteroids/meteorites. The results show that many microorganisms and even plants can grow on resources found commonly in space, which are basically similar to Earth materials. The conclusions are significant: If life can flourish on Earth, life can flourish throughout the universe. Based on the results on microbes and meteorites, the author estimates the ultimate amounts of life that our missions can induce in the cosmological future. A life-centered astroethics can assure that our descendants will be there to enjoy this future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are 7.5 billion people alive today; millions more have lived, all having experienced the phenomena of mind and consciousness. The Library of Congress contains more than thirty-two million books, of which thousands are about the human mind. Because of the nature of language, no consensus has been reached as to what mind is and how it is related to the brain. In the last few hundred years, evil elements of the human mind have become dominant. An evolutionary development is unfolding as we live. We are an integral part of it. For all of mankind, it has both promise and great danger. This book offers a simple, clear, and functional conception of the human mind. It explains why human beings have become the most amazing creatures, performing miracles with material, and yet the most dishonest and cruel animal that ever lived. We have eaten heavily from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Now we threaten the very lives of all that live upon the Earth.

Book excerpt: The process of firm-level adaptation and survival have historically been of great interest to researchers of firms. However, these researchers have previously been denied an ecological framework within which to study the processes through which individual firms respond to and indeed, modify their individual environments. This book remedies this situation, providing the first comprehensive introduction to organisational autecology, or, the study of individual firms and the environments they interact with and typically modify to ensure their survival. In addition to establishing the theoretical and philosophical foundations of organisational autecology, the empirical application of this new approach is demonstrated and its future application to the domain of organisational studies is contemplated.

The intercultural essays in this volume analyze ways of dealing with the beyond, including magic, religion, myth, and all-promising utopias.

Book excerpt: Contemporary parapsychology tends to be preoccupied with ESP (telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition) and psychokinesis. In contrast, this cutting-edge anthology assembles an international team of experts from the fields of psychology, parapsychology, philosophy, anthropology and neuroscience to examine critically what is referred to as the survival hypothesis: the tentative statement or prediction that some aspect of our personhood (e.g., consciousness) persists subsequent to the death of the physical body. The appraisal of the survival hypothesis will be restricted to the phenomenon of mediumship; that is, humans who ostensibly communicate with the deceased. The book has been divided into four main sections: Explanation and Belief; Culture, Psychopathology and Psychotherapy; Empirical Approaches; The Present and Future. The issue of postmortem survival is supremely relevant to us all because the human encounter with death is, of course, a certainty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is a journey and road is the destination, our value system is our Atlas guide to lifes challenges, and we make our decisions by referring to its maps; our values. Unfortunately a map book drawn by an inexperienced teen-ager is not a reliable guide to steer us through the twists and turns of life, nor is it good for a safe highway driving. We learn our values from our parents and the surroundings. Most of the parents are/were not versed with the science or art of success, so they passed on the values they knew best; especially if they were poor they may have passed a very limited vision of life to you. In their opinion, making a living and raising a family were the ultimate challenge, and they may have lovingly and innocently passed them on to you, there by robbing you of your true potential. True potential of any life is no less than Mother Teresa, Gandhi, Donald Trump, Martha Stewart or any other household name. The only difference is Desire, and a proven value system. To succeed in life one needs desire, but most of us dont know where the desires come from or how to create them; for that one needs to understand how our mind functions. No doubt Desire, is the starting point of all major success, desire alone is not enough. We also need Faith, a clear unshakable understanding of how Nature or God grants desire that look totally out of our reach. And last but not the least what role, if any does money play in our success, how do they get rich and what can you do to ensure your riches. What good is all the success, if we cant even be happy, even though success and possessions have very little to do with happiness if at all. To explain all these issues that involves psychology, metaphysics, spirituality, religion and economics in a book that can be read in two to four hours without putting the reader to a sleep was/is a challenge. This book is specially written for young adults who dont have time or interest in reading such topics. Five Minute Millionaire draws on solid facts to inspire the reader; it is written in interesting provocative style, in short articles ranging from one line on a page to a maximum of three pages printed in a large font, yet it inspires every reader. The book comes with optional Instant Motivation, software that lets you see your progress on a daily basis. They say nothing succeeds like success, when you see your money grow, your health improve and your happiness increase, it reinforces your belief in your thinking, your system and your actions; that is the secret to ultimate success in life, realization of ones full potential.
