‘We all owe a great deal to George Edwards, though few people will know how much until they read this biography’ - Sir John Major He was the designer of Britain’s first V-bomber, the leader of the British Concorde team, and the man who made the bouncing bomb bounce. Yet George Edwards’s name is all but forgotten today. The son of a widowed tobacconist from the East End of London, Edwards started his career in aviation in 1935, when he became a junior draughtsman in Vickers Aviation’s Surrey factory for the princely sum of 5 guineas a week. Within ten years he was their chief designer; within thirty-five he was the managing director of British Aircraft Corporation. Written using thirty hours of exclusive interviews with Edwards himself, From Bouncing Bombs to Concorde is an illuminating look at a man who helped shape post-war Britain’s aviation industry.

These simple and engaging biology experiments use easy-to-obtain household materials to explore the science behind the human body. Readers are guided through applying the scientific method to conduct experiments, which include observing the effect of body position and exercise on heart rate, breathing rate, and blood pressure; building a model of the human eye; and figuring out how food moves through the body. Clear instructions and scientific illustrations will allow students to gain a better understanding of the basic biological concepts demonstrated by each experiment. This book also contains safety tips to educate students on the code of conduct expected when conducting experiments.

Using materials they can find in their home, students can learn the science behind temperature and heat by performing experiments that demonstrate the conduction of heat in solids, thermal conductivity of liquids and gases, the relationship between temperature and color, and other scientific principles. Engaging color illustrations accompany every experiment, an explanation of the scientific method guides students, and safety tips educate students on the code of conduct expected when conducting experiments. An appendix with science supply companies, a glossary, further reading with books and websites, and an index are also included.

The whispering swirled about LidoireBut nothing reached her father's ears;For none would risk his wrath to tellCome true had one of his greatest fears One autumn in medieval Provence a nobleman's only daughter finds herself mysteriously pregnant. The girl, Lidoire, has never lain with a man and wonders if she, like the Virgin Mary, has conceived immaculately.Years earlier, her father betrothed her to the powerful prince of Navarre; through the marriage he hopes to further his own ambitions. In her father's castle, Lidoire fearfully watches her belly grow until Moreau--her father's vintner, a man who's always been like a loving uncle--comes to her. He offers to hide her in a wilderness hermitage through the winter, so she might return in the spring with the baby. The sight of his beloved daughter returned with his grandchild on her breast, Moreau hopes, will abate the sure to be terrible anger of Lidoire's father.But Moreau's plans are more than what they seem; and in the wilderness, Lidoire makes a decision that will reveal the shocking truth of her pregnancy, a decision whose repercussions will be felt from the idyllic, sun-drenched vineyards of southern France to the bloody battlefield outside the Holy City of Jerusalem.Set in the time of the First Crusade (1096-1099), "The Ballad of St. Lidoire" is a tale of love and betrayal, the vicissitudes of time, and the messy way in which saints are sometimes created.

Hands-on experiments are a great way to engage young scientists. Instead of simply reading facts, they will experience the science that is happening in front of their eyes The simple experiments in this book, illustrated in color, will unlock the secrets of planet Earth, including why Earth has layers, how continents move, and how we know Earth is round. By the time young readers are finished with the activities in this book, they will be ready to design some of their own to enter in their next science fair.

What exactly IS energy healing? Some call it a miracle. Others write it off as some kind of lucky coincidence or mind trick. Some worry that there is some deviltry in it, while others are intrigued by it but just need a straight explanation (without all the smoke and mirrors) before they are willing to consider it as healing alternative.If you are in any of those categories, this book is for you. It is a simple, straightforward, practical guide to energy healing that doesn't try to peddle one brand of it and that answers the basic questions about it for someone who is just curious, or wary, or downright bewildered by it all. Questions like: What exactly is energy healing, and how does it work? Who and what can it heal? Will it help me? Why are there so many different energy therapies? Which should I choose, if any? Are some better than others? How do I find a good healer? How long will it take for me to heal? Can anyone learn to do energy healing? Is it some kind of occult practice? Is it incompatible with my religion?You find the answers to these questions and much more within to help you chart your own course to healing."Robert Gardner's book: Is That Even Possible, explores the possibilities of Energy Healing for an uninitiated audience. As a practitioner of Advanced Energy Healing in Tai Chi, I particularly enjoyed the chapter on Listeners about Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (called Biodynamics). I look forward to one day learning more about this practice and how it is trained."Richard ClearAuthor of Chi Energy - Activation, Cultivation, and FlowTeacher of Fa Kung Energy Transmission

Stephen Dupont (born 1967) is an Australian photographer who has produced hauntingly beautiful images of fragile cultures and marginalized peoples since beginning his photographic career in 1989. Piksa Nuigini records Dupont’s journey through some of the most important cultural and historical zones in Papua New Guinea: the Highlands, Sepik, Bougainville and the capital city, Port Moresby. Through images and diary entries, Dupont captures the spirit of human life on one of the world’s last truly wild frontiers. This work was conducted with the support of the Robert Gardner Fellowship of Photography at Harvard’s Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology. The publication consists of two slipcased volumes: Piksa Nuigini: Portraits and Piksa Nuigini: Diaries. The former is a collection of portraits reproduced in luscious duotone; the latter a collection of the diaries, drawings, contact sheets and documentary photographs that Dupont produced as he created his work.
