Reiki, the simple laying-on of hands, can channel life-empowering energy and heal physical and emotional ailments! By focusing on the seven chakras--powerful centers throughout the body that interact with an ocean of energy--the ancient art of Reiki activates the body's natural ability to cure itself and restores its natural balance. Rise through the three levels of Reiki, at each stage passing through initiations and encountering sacred symbols. Learn how energy travels through the hands and how to perform a foundation treatment that consists of 16 positions--or treat someone to a shorter, quicker version. Use thought as energy to work on conflicts at home or the office, and develop a deeper sense of empathy. With information on curing specific conditions, guidance on meditation and exercises to raise self-awareness, and ideas for creating a healing space, you'll be well on your way to a life-altering experience. 128 pages, 7 1/2 x 10 1/2.

Nearly every species that has lived on earth is extinct. The last of the dinosaurs was wiped out after a Mount Everest-sized meteorite slammed into the earth 65 million years ago. The great flying and marine reptiles are no more. Before humans crossed the Bering Land Bridge some 15,000 years ago, North America was populated by mastodons, mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, and cave bears. They too are MIA. The passenger pigeon, once the most numerous bird in North America, is gone forever. In No Turning Back, renowned naturalist Richard Ellis explores the life and death of animal species, immortalizing creatures that were driven to extinction thousands of years ago and those more recently. He documents those that were brought back from the brink, and most surprisingly, he reveals animals not known to exist until the twentieth century -- an antidote to extinction.

More than 2,500 years after it was written, Symposium remains a key text for philosophers, historians, writers, artists and politicians. Plato imagines seven important historical figures, including the philosopher Socrates, debating eros (human love and desire).

"Approximately 300,000 years after the Big Bang, all matter consisted of three chemical elements: hydrogen, helium, and a bit of lithium. This matter spread out as the universe expanded and cooled down, and from the far-flung gas clusters the first stars ignited. Eventually, due to gravitational clustering, primordial galaxies formed. The earliest galaxies, which evolved in the first few hundred million years after the Big Bang, contained stars that in turn contained only hydrogen and helium. These galaxies are thought to have produced copious amounts of ultraviolet radiation, which re-ionized the hydrogen in deep space and sparked one of the major phase transitions in the universe's early evolution, called the reionization era. In When Galaxies Were Born, Ellis describes efforts to reveal the oldest, most distant stars and galaxies in the universe and, in turn, to better understand the early evolution of the universe. Observational research into the largely uncharted cosmological era of "cosmic dawn" is notoriously difficult and involves such major space- and ground-based observatories as ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) and the Atacama Large Millimetre Array (ALMA) in Chile, the twin Keck telescopes on Mauna Kea in Hawaii, and the Hubble Space Telescope, and it will progress in the future using the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) and Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) in Chile, the Thirty-Meter Telescope (TMT) in Hawaii, and the NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), due to launch in mid-December 2021. While giving readers an inside look at the last several decades of progress in the field, Ellis also shares his own story and personal perspective, taking readers along as he uses observatories around the world to reveal how the first stars and galaxies came into being and how the earliest galaxies led to the further emergence of cosmic structure in the universe"-- Provided by publisher

Richard Ellis ist es gelungen, eine beeindruckende Menge an Material über eines der am wenigsten bekannten Tiere der Welt zusammenzutragen. Wie ein moderner Sherlock Holmes deckt er alles auf, was über den Riesenkraken bekannt ist und legt Fakten und Fiktionen dar, die sich um diese bemerkenswerte Bestie ranken, die in den Tiefen des Ozeans lauert. Das Furcht erregende See-Ungeheuer hat Ausmaße, die einem den Atem verschlagen: Die Vorstellung eines Monsters von gut 18 Metern Länge, bei einem Gewicht von mehr als einer Tonne, versetzten nicht nur schon die Menschen im Mittelalter in Angst und Schrecken, auch heute noch bringen Filmemacher oder Buchautoren das Ungeheuer als Hauptattraktion in Horrorstories. Ellis bietet eine gründliche Mischung aus historischen Fakten, Mythen und biologischen Erkenntnissen und illustriert seinen Text durch eine Menge faszinierender Bilder. Ein Buch für alle, die an den letzten Mysterien dieser Erde interessiert sind: vom Monster-Liebhaber bis hin zum Wi ssenschaftler.
