Heart of Darkness describes the incredible saga of humankind's quest to unravel the deepest secrets of the universe. Over the past thirty years, scientists have learned that two little-understood components--dark matter and dark energy--comprise most of the known cosmos, explain the growth of all cosmic structure, and hold the key to the universe's fate. The story of how evidence for the so-called "Lambda-Cold Dark Matter" model of cosmology has been gathered by generations of scientists throughout the world is told here by one of the pioneers of the field, Jeremiah Ostriker, and his coauthor Simon Mitton. From humankind's early attempts to comprehend Earth's place in the solar system, to astronomers' exploration of the Milky Way galaxy and the realm of the nebulae beyond, to the detection of the primordial fluctuations of energy from which all subsequent structure developed, this book explains the physics and the history of how the current model of our universe arose and has passed every test hurled at it by the skeptics. Throughout this rich story, an essential theme is emphasized: how three aspects of rational inquiry--the application of direct measurement and observation, the introduction of mathematical modeling, and the requirement that hypotheses should be testable and verifiable--guide scientific progress and underpin our modern cosmological paradigm. This monumental puzzle is far from complete, however, as scientists confront the mysteries of the ultimate causes of cosmic structure formation and the real nature and origin of dark matter and dark energy.

Most people have it all wrong about how you become wealthy in America. More often then not, we are taught that wealth is the by-product of hard work, diligent savings, and living below one's means. If that were the case, why is it that 50% of the population are considered financially inept, in a nation that is primarily driven by finance? How is it that one in three people who've worked their entire lives, have nothing saved towards retirement? How is it that 40% of all student borrowers cant afford to make payments on their college loans? Most of us recognize that something is terribly wrong within our economy and financial systems, yet we continue to obey the antiquated financial rhetoric spewed by the experts and media. But at what cost? If you're going to participate in this game and wonder how you build more wealth, then the solution will be easier then what is normally given to the 99 percenters. Bank On You explores the financial advice kept from the masses and shares it with you in a way that is compelling and easy to digest. The book includes: How to pursue multiple streams of income How to acquire assets that pay you How not to lose money How to be your own boss How to achieve finanical freedom in any market cycle Embrace your new financial awakening and begin to master the game of money.
Issac has a gun to confront his father. Sebastian has a paintbrush to confront his demons. Quincy has a dream to pursue his freedom. Miriam has a promise to keep to her enslaved mother. Follow these four as they journey away from tumultuous beginnings to discover the pursuit of happiness. In this collection, beauty is in the eye of the tortured beholder. Beauty and Perspective is a collection of poetry, prose, and short stories about looking beyond mundanity and misfortune to find beauty. Often, it is easy to allow that which is before our eyes to skew our perspectives of what is good or what is possible. Works such as "Tragedy to Triumph" and "Before He Used His Father's Gun" tell the story of two young men's journeys to overcome the misery and tumultuous environments into which each was born. The five Japanese haikus offer wisdom about how to focus one's mind for peace and happiness. "A Yellow Flower Moment" is one mother's advice to a son in pain. Finally, the excerpt from In His Own Image introduces Quincy, a slave, who looks beyond his deplorable condition to find freedom, and by doing so, he discovers that he must not only free his body but also his mind. Together, these pieces offer inspiration for anyone seeking ideals in the face of turmoil and anguish.
This is a book about leadership. Leading one's self. Leading a team. Leading a project or event. Leading an entire organization. It's about leading in a deliberate and disciplined way. Using a structured approach. Most of all, this book is about results. Making progress. Moving, as the title suggests, from zero to something, both at work and in life. As a retired soldier and longtime HR and training executive, I realize Zero to Something is probably the eleventy billionth leadership book on the market. I have read and prescribed many of them during my 30-some-year leadership career. This book, of course, is different. Better. It's the definitive take on leadership. The book to replace all other leadership books. Well, not really. But such hyperbole sure sounds good, doesn't it? That's the Donald Trump School of Leadership: simply exude uber-confidence in all matters and situations, and others will surely follow or at least buy what you're selling. The truth, in my view, is that confidence AND humility are both cornerstones of great leadership. So, while I do passionately believe in the tenets of this book (after all, they've served me well personally), I am not na ve. No book can hold all the truths of leadership. There is no such code to be cracked. Leadership, rather, is a deeply personal and individual human affair. As such, the goal of my book is to share the leadership approach I have developed over time and, in doing so, help you start or continue on your own personal path. Inside the book, you will indeed find strategies, tactics and nuggets of wisdom that owe their origins to other people and other books. You will find even more insights based on my years of personal experience, trial and error. Most importantly, you will see how I have packaged what I learned into a framework or approach that can be internalized and applied to virtually any leadership situation. My hope is that you will immediately and directly apply the Zero to Something approach and that it will be a catalyst for further development. As you accumulate experiences, work with mentors and develop your own personalized approach, I am confident Zero to Something will remain a cornerstone of your leadership foundation.

What Were Your Parents Doing Back Then? is a comprehensive, in-depth study of teen drug and alcohol abuse that begins in the "hip" days of the 1970's, travels through the economic boom of the 1990's, and continues on until the present time. Lowney combines qualitative, descriptive research with statistical quantitative data over a 31-year period to present a human understanding of young people's drug use.
In 1970, sociologist Jeremiah Lowney began researching a group of surfers called the "Wall Gang" in a small community of drug and alcohol users on Golden Beach in San Diego, California. Stoned, Drunk, or Sober? is the culmination of Lowney's thirty-eight years of intensive non-participant observation of seventy-two surfers. This book offers a rare look at various qualitative techniques employed to understand alcohol and drug use. Lowney utilizes basic quantitative statistical data to complement and verify the qualitative findings, thereby providing a deeper understanding than if only one or the other had been used. Because it spans so many years, Lowney's longitudinal research offers readers an opportunity to fully grasp the various factors that contribute to substance abuse, the various paths used to overcome the severe consequences of addiction, and the histories of those who did not use drugs, those who did, and those who are now "free and sober."
“May it be done to me according to your will.” With this simple affirmation, a young woman from Nazareth, through her own free will, changed history forever. In God’s Dream Come True: Mary, Monsignor Jeremiah Kenney reflects on one of the most important moments in all of Christianity, Mary’s “yes” to God. Through careful exploration of Scripture and Catholic tradition, Monsignor Kenney takes us on a journey that explores the importance of Mary as a person willing to set aside her own desires to serve God and in doing so, sets an example of motherhood to the world. With her assent, Mary becomes the mother of Jesus, committed raising the son of God, raising him, guiding him, and ultimately witnessing his sacrifice that would redeem all of mankind.
As Almighty God chose the immaculate Virgin Mary to be the mother of the Lord Jesus Christ, so with the same great care he chose that chaste man of God, a descendant of King David, St. Joseph, to be the perfect reflection of the Eternal Father in the best of human ways to raise God’s Son and Mary’s boy as God’s perfect reflection of what fatherhood should be. Jesus loved Joseph. Jesus respected him and honored him throughout his life. This book will reflect on how this was done.

It's easy to think that emotional pain and feelings of hopelessness are modern issues. But two thousand years ago, Jesus ministered to people who were also longing for peace and happiness. His answer? God's peace--his Shalom, a word so important that it's translated seventy different ways in the Bible. This often-overlooked aspect of the Christian life is the foundation for deep, meaningful happiness. In this uplifting book, Jeremiah Johnston provides a biblical perspective on living a life of Shalom. Johnston reveals: * the peace Jesus offers vs. the peace the world promises but can't deliver * how to apply God's peace to our current situation and combat anxiety, fear, and hopelessness * how to protect this perfect peace in our lives when troubles try to steal it This book is also helpful for lay leaders, pastors, and everyone else who recognizes the church's incredible opportunity today to help individuals and families dealing with anxiety and depression.

But what critics, and even many churchgoers, don't realize is the life-changing importance of Christianity.

This provocative and enlightening book is sure to encourage believers and equip them to respond to doubters.
