"En cierta ocasión pensé que un libro sobre el tema del autoconocimiento resultaría inútil. Di por supuesto que, si a alguno de nosotros se le preguntase: "¿Te conoces realmente a ti mismo?", la respuesta sería: "¡Sí!" De modo que empecé a preguntarle a la gente: "¿Te conoces a ti mismo?": y, sorprendentemente, las respuestas eran: "Sólo parcialmente... No muy bien... Algo..." Por tanto, concluí que la mayoría estamos preparados para afrontar la pregunta: "¿Quién soy yo realmente?" Por eso decidí escribir este libro, en la esperanza de compartir con el lector lo que he aprendido a lo largo del camino de mi propia vida. Y entre las cosas que creo haber aprendido se encuentran los problemas más comunes que bloquean nuestro autoconocimiento. No importa el empeño que pongamos en llegar a conocernos mejor a nosotros mismos: si en el camino hay obstáculos, normalmente haremos poco o ningún progreso. También he aprendido a reconocer y respetar el poder del pasado y el modo en que afecta a nuestro comportamiento presente. Esta intuición me ha permitido formarme una teóría que me ha ayudado a entenderme mejor a mí mismo. Cuando llegamos a conocernos mejor a nosotros mismos, inevitablemente encontramos partes de nosotros que no son sanas, sino bastantes destructivas. Y empezamos a hacernos una serie de preguntas acerca del cambio: "¿Puedo cambiar?" "¿?Quiero realmente hacerlo?" "¿Cómo emprender el cambio?"... Al tratar de responder a estas preguntas, nos vemos forzados a abordar la solución de los problemas que bloquean nuestro autoconocimiento. Finalmente, creo que he dado con modos de incorporar a nuestras vidas la práctica del crecimiento en el autodescubrimiento.

Suitable for advanced undergraduates, this thorough text focuses on the role of symmetry operations and the essentially algebraic structure of quantum-mechanical theory. Based on courses in quantum mechanics taught by the authors, the treatment provides numerous problems that require applications of theory and serve to supplement the textual material.Starting with a historical introduction to the origins of quantum theory, the book advances to discussions of the foundations of wave mechanics, wave packets and the uncertainty principle, and an examination of the Schrödinger equation that includes a selection of one-dimensional problems. Subsequent topics include operators and eigenfunctions, scattering theory, matrix mechanics, angular momentum and spin, and perturbation theory. The text concludes with a brief treatment of identical particles and a helpful Appendix.

Challenging the reader to consider what is possible, this book reveals an entirely new concept for getting into space—Airship to Orbit (ATO). Photographs and details are provided from the nearly 100 development flights conducted so far, along with new findings such as life 20 miles up and mile high plasma volcanoes. The blueprints and economic details of hypersonic airships and cities floating at the edge of space are all included, bringing the subject out of scientific journals and fantasy pages and into the public eye.

Tradition has it that God's second commandment is that we should love one another. Why is it so hard? The capacity to love is in everyone. Yet so often it remains trapped and waiting to be released. In John Powell's best-selling Why Am I Afraid to Love, he carefully and sensitively confronts the barriers that restrain. He looks at the fear of rejection, the motives for love, how to truly understand the inner self and what true love looks like. He then considers the true test of love: can self be forgotten in loving others? Based on the original best-selling edition, this new book has been completely re-designed. A fitting companion to Why Am I Afraid to Tell You Who I Am?, it is one of the most original and popular self help books on the market. It sits comfortably alongside other classics like I'm OK, You're OK. Why Am I Afraid to Love has sold over 100,000 copies in its original edition.
