A classic guide to expanding perception and consciousness development. In this highly acclaimed classic, psychedelic elder Ralph Metzner presents a guide to six ancient systems, once known only to the initiated few, to expand awareness and free your consciousness from exterior limitations and cultural conditioning. Metzner begins with the I Ching, revered by the Chinese as the oldest and wisest book in the world. He explains how it reveals change as the evolutionary constant and offers a hands-on method of divination and guidance. He explores the Hindu and Buddhist Tantras of medieval India, ancient practices celebrating the union of male and female energies that transmute ordinary sense experience into ecstatic ritual worship. He examines the Tarot, revealing how the cards act as culture-transcending mirrors, bringing us through worlds of darkness and light in a complex journey. He looks at the practice of alchemy, explaining how it is a “psychic chemistry” of inner union through which we can transform planetary and cosmic energies. He explores the esoteric aspects of astrology, revealing the rhythmic cycles of the planets and how their phases may be experienced in terms of motion and emotion. He then examines in depth the yoga philosophy of Actualism, centered on the techniques of Agni Yoga, which allow you to use your living “inner fire” to illuminate the shadow parts of consciousness and burn out that which obstructs the free flow of energy. With a new foreword by UC Berkeley professor of neurobiology David E. Presti and featuring all of the original diagrams, this edition of Metzner’s classic text shows how each of these disciplines can help the modern individual become a fully aware and conscious participant in their own spiritual evolution.
This volume addresses chemical interactions between insects and plants, such as feeding and ovipositional attractants and deterrents. It begins with a general introduction to insects in a chemical world. Included is a discussion of molecular biology and genetics in insect control, with respect to potentially inserting the genes for the synthesis of a protective substance into a crop plant. Also covered is the detoxification of plant substances by insects. This volume is especially helpful for chemists and biologists in the field of pesticide research.

Le Smart Road sono infrastrutture stradali di nuova generazione munite di specifiche tecnologie per monitorare e regolamentare i flussi di traffico in tempo reale, informare gli utenti ed offrire loro servizi mirati a migliorare il comfort e la sicurezza del viaggio. Grazie all’ecosistema tecnologico proprio delle Smart Road, generato da sensori, apparecchiature di telecomunicazione, big data, software, algoritmi di intelligenza artificiale e veicoli innovativi, si possono perseguire i seguenti principali obiettivi: analizzare continuativamente nel tempo lo stato di efficienza delle “opere d’arte” minori (muri di sostegno, paratie, ecc.), maggiori (ponti, viadotti, gallerie, ecc.) e delle sovrastrutture stradali, anche nell’ottica di poter attuare una ottimale manutenzione programmata;favorire l’interoperabilità tra l’infrastruttura fisica ed i veicoli di nuova generazione, in particolare quelli a guida autonoma. Nel volume sono consegnati alcuni criteri metodologici per la progettazione, il monitoraggio e la manutenzione delle Smart Road. Vengono esaminati i riferimenti normativi sulle Smart Road e sui veicoli a guida autonoma ed affrontati i temi riguardanti la progettazione geometrica, i modelli di stima della capacità e dei livelli di servizio, il Dominio di Progettazione Operativa (ODD) dei sistemi avanzati di assistenza alla guida (ADAS) per il mantenimento in corsia dei veicoli, gli strumenti di gestione informativa digitale BIM delle Smart Road, l’uso di sensori nelle pavimentazioni, i sistemi di ricarica dei veicoli elettrici del tipo “Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer”, i dati di traffico “FCD” e quelli satellitari per il monitoraggio delle Smart Road, le tecniche di gestione dell’infrastruttura e della sovrastruttura in condizioni ambientali avverse. In definitiva, il libro è di specifico interesse per gli studenti universitari e per i professionisti che a vario titolo operano nel campo dell’Ingegneria Stradale.

Transport Nodal System provides a comprehensive introduction to the development of transport nodes and nodal systems, focusing on economic, operational, management, planning, policy, regulation and sustainability perspectives. Through a deep analysis on different types of transport nodes from diverse perspectives, this book shows the major issues and challenges that transport node planners, managers, and policymakers face, and how to address them. The book provides a clear framework for identifying the common attributes across all nodes that contribute to the efficient operations, planning, and management of transport facilities. Transport nodes such as seaports, inland terminals, airports, highways, and railroads are hubs in a multimodal transportation network that facilitate the smooth operation of passengers and freight. The book uniquely uses the transport node itself rather than a specific type of structure for a specific type of transport mode as the primary focus of analysis. While stressing the importance of transport nodes in developing efficient logistics and supply chains, the book also demonstrates that transport nodes are geographically embedded within a particular location, and that operations are inevitably affected by local factors, such as culture, the economy, the political and regulatory environment and other institutions.

The joint correspondence of four titans of the Lovecraft Circle sheds fascinating light on the complex interplay of the personal and professional lives of these writers, artists, editors, and collectors. R. H. Barlow initiated much of the correspondence, seeking to preserve manuscripts and other material in what he called the "Vaults of Yoh-Vombis." Barlow discussed plans to publish a variety of Smith's poetry, but these ultimately came to nothing. Similarly, he wished to issue a volume of Howard Wandrei's weird artwork, but Howard's brother put an end to the idea. H. P. Lovecraft is a focal point of discussion in all the correspondence. Donald Wandrei developed an enmity to Barlow, in part because Wandrei falsely believed that Barlow had stolen Lovecraft's books and manuscripts, even though he had been declared Lovecraft's literary executor. When Wandrei was helping August Derleth found Arkham House, he urged Derleth, Smith, and others to shun Barlow, with the result that Barlow was essentially driven out of the field. This volume presents an invaluable glimpse into the world of weird and pulp fiction in the 1930s and 1940s, as each writer displays the distinctive traits that have made him a renowned figure in the genre. The correspondence has been meticulously edited and exhaustively annotated by David E. Schultz and S. T. Joshi, two leading authorities in Lovecraft scholarship.
