Rainbow And The Worm, The: The Physics Of Organisms (3rd Edition)

Author: Mae-wan Ho
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company
ISBN: 9814338419
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 409

Book Description
This highly unusual book began as a serious inquiry into Schrödinger's question, “What is life?”, and as a celebration of life itself. It takes the reader on a voyage of discovery through many areas of contemporary physics, from non-equilibrium thermodynamics and quantum optics to liquid crystals and fractals, all necessary for illuminating the problem of life. In the process, the reader is treated to a rare and exquisite view of the organism, gaining novel insights not only into the physics, but also into “the poetry and meaning of being alive.”This much-enlarged third edition includes new findings on the central role of biological water in organizing living processes; it also completes the author's novel theory of the organism and its applications in ecology, physiology and brain science.

Living Rainbow H2O

Author: Mae-Wan Ho
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814390895
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 351

Book Description
This book is a unique synthesis of the latest findings in the quantum physics and chemistry of water that will tell you why it is so remarkably fit for life. It offers a novel panoramic perspective of cell biology based on water as "means, medium, and message" of life. This book is a sequel to The Rainbow and The Worm, The Physics of Organisms, which has remained in a class of its own for nearly 20 years since the publication of the first edition. Living Rainbow H2O continues the fascinating journey in the author's quest for the meaning of life, in science and beyond. Like The Rainbow and The Worm, the present book will appeal to readers in the arts and humanities as well as scientists; not least because the author herself is an occasional artist and poet. Great care has been taken to explain terms and concepts for the benefit of the general reader. At the same time, sufficient scientific details are provided in text boxes for the advanced reader and researcher without interrupting the main story.

ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 328

Book Description
This book challenges the current wisdom of how cells work. It emphasizes the role of cell water and the gel-like nature of the cell, building on these features to explore the mechanisms of communication, transport, contraction, division, and other essential cell functions. Written for the non-expert, the book is profound enough for biologists, chemists, physicists and engineers.--From publisher description.

Book Description
Colourpuncture is the revolutionary new medicine of light founded and developed by scientist and healer Peter Mandel. By focusing coloured light on acupuncture (and other) points on the skin, it energizes powerful healing impulses in our physical and energy bodies. In Colour Me Healing Jack Allanach tells the story of Mandel's discovery and subsequent evolution of this radical new system, one which could well be the medicine of the future - a medicine of light and colour, rather than drugs. As well as describing the development of Colourpuncture, this unique book offers new insights on the nature of illness and disease and their non-physical origins. Colour Me Healing is an outstanding and compelling journey. It takes the reader through the development of this new medicine of light to the forefront of modem science and biophysics. It is essential reading for anyone concerned with opening a new window onto emotional disharmonies and the energetic imbalances that cause sickness. Jack Allanach writes regularly for multinational telecommunications companies. He lives with his wife in the Blue Mountains near Sydney, Australia. Expertly written and highly readable, this astounding book offers an extraordinary insight into the medicine of the future. It includes: . Jack Allanach's own experience of Colourpuncture . Peter Mandel's initiation into the world of healing . The nature of illness and disease . An explanation of Colourpuncture . An introduction by the internationally recognized biophysicist Dr Fritz-Albert Popp

Book Description
The follow-up to his bestseller The War of Art, Turning Pro navigates the passage from the amateur life to a professional practice. "You don't need to take a course or buy a product. All you have to do is change your mind." --Steven Pressfield TURNING PRO IS FREE, BUT IT'S NOT EASY. When we turn pro, we give up a life that we may have become extremely comfortable with. We give up a self that we have come to identify with and to call our own. TURNING PRO IS FREE, BUT IT DEMANDS SACRIFICE. The passage from amateur to professional is often achieved via an interior odyssey whose trials are survived only at great cost, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. We pass through a membrane when we turn pro. It's messy and it's scary. We tread in blood when we turn pro. WHAT WE GET WHEN WE TURN PRO. What we get when we turn pro is we find our power. We find our will and our voice and we find our self-respect. We become who we always were but had, until then, been afraid to embrace and live out.
