All over the world, brutal attacks are crippling entire cities. Jackson Oz, a young biologist, watches the escalating events with an increasing sense of dread. When he witnesses a coordinated lion ambush in Africa, the enormity of the violence to come becomes terrifyingly clear. With the help of ecologist Chloe Tousignant, Oz races to warn world leaders before it''s too late. The attacks are growing in ferocity, cunning, and planning, and soon there will be no place left for humans to hide.

Sun Tzu was a master philosopher, strategist, and military general who lived during the Zhou dynasty, some 2500 years ago. Originally a military text of stratagem, The Art of War has influenced military and political leaders throughout the centuries. His ideas still hold true today and are highly applicable to the modern-day battleground...corporations. Organizations have a collective psychology and oftentimes an underlying psychosis. Despite nearly 100 years of effort to make management a science, starting with Frederick Taylor in the early 1900s, organizations today are still composed of individuals and their feelings. Even though decisions that are made in everyday business are supposedly rooted in logic and rational thought, almost all decisions are ultimately judgments, and just like all of human behavior, those judgments are based on the individual's mood, feelings, and thoughts. This volume is to be consumed in small chunks, and highlights 21 of Sun Tzu's most applicable strategies. It is aimed toward helping the individual to become a master of his or her surroundings, situations, and adversaries in a corporate environment. This volume applies ancient philosophy to modern-day situations and highlights how we can influence the behavior of others by creating the environment we want, tapping into the feelings and thoughts of others, and ultimately impacting leadership judgments. Some may call it manipulation, some may call it deception. I call it the Art of Modern War.

In this book, Dan Green presents his thoughts on the possibility of the murder of Mary Magdelene and her body being laid to rest in the grounds of Lincoln Cathedral. Working through codes that he has found throughout the cathedral and its environs, whether by sacred geometry or hidden messages in memorial plaques, he gives a well-thought out and intricately explained hypothesis which leads the reader to think hard about the coincidences that he has brought to light. He weaves in connections with the infamous Rennes-le-Chateau to add weight to his argument. Is there any truth in his suggestion that Mary Magdelene was, in fact, the wife of Jesus and was pregnant with his child at the time of her murder? For researchers and intrepids alike, the solution to the mystery that is Rennes-le-Chateau would be the discovery of a clear and unamibiguous location whereupon resides the lost 'treasure' once guarded by the warrior monks of the Knights Templar, a historical secret involving the biblical Jesus and his alleged wife, the mysterious figure that is Mary Magdalene. For centuries a fruitless search for the ever changing allegory of this 'Holy Grail' has taken place in France despite many considering that it has always remained hidden in England. Where the 'psychic' appears to meet with the psychological and mystical submerged secrets of the Collective Unconscious, amidst a series of astonishing synchronicities, a hint of tunnels and a labyrinth of cracked codes in both France and England, a 'Lincoln Cathedral Code' discovered within the architecture and sacred geometry of this ancient Gothic Cathedral with its nearby puzzling place name 'Jerusalem' and once nearby thriving Jewish community, gives the most convincing evidence yet for a concealed revelation amidst a battleground of Light and Dark, and an additional and shocking twist to challenge contemporary theories of a holy bloodline, suggesting that not only was a pregnant Mary Magdalene murdered but that the very identity of the Jesus figure may now also be brought in to question...

Simon Basher is back with another zany primer to science! Following his 3 successful titles on the basics of chemistry, physics, and biology, ROCKS AND MINERALS is an in-depth look at the ground beneath our feet. Like his other titles, Basher presents these topics through charming and adorable illustrations and pairs them with basic information told from a first person perspective. He develops a community of characters based on the things that form the foundations of our planet: rocks, gems, crystals, fossils and more. And what''s more, he makes it understandable, interesting, and cute. It''s not what you expect out of a science primer.

"A spectacular visual guide to the more than 100 elements that make up you and everything around you"--P. [4] of cover.

The perfect companion to any study of Earth Science, Basher's best-selling Rocks and Minerals: A Gem of a Book! is now available as a card deck.

Publisher Description

A comprehensive updated guide to Venezuela, from Angel Falls to the Caribbean. It includes: highlights and colour maps; practical advice on outdoor activities such as scuba diving and white-water rafting; and comprehensive practical information on where to eat and drink and staying healthy.

This text provides a comprehensive introduction to the physical principles and design of particle detectors, covering all major detector types in use today. The book begins with a reprise of the size and energy scales involved in different physical processes. It then considers non-destructive methods, including the photoelectric effect, photomultipliers, scintillators, Cerenkov and transition radiation, scattering and ionisation and the use of magnetic fields in drift and wire chambers. A complete chapter is devoted to silicon detectors. In the final part of the book, the author discusses destructive measurement techniques including Thompson and Compton scattering, Bremsstrahlung and calorimetry. Throughout the book, emphasis is placed on explaining the physical principles on which detection is based, and showing, by considering appropriate examples, how those principles are best utilised in real detectors. This approach also reveals the limitations that are intrinsic to different devices. Exercises and detailed further reading lists are included.
