Joining the ranks of popular science classics like The Botany of Desire and The Selfish Gene, a groundbreaking, wondrously informative, and vastly entertaining examination of the most significant revolution in biology since Darwin--a -microbe's-eye view- of the world that reveals a marvelous, radically reconceived picture of life on earth.
Every animal, whether human, squid, or wasp, is home to millions of bacteria and other microbes. Ed Yong, whose humor is as evident as his erudition, prompts us to look at ourselves and our animal companions in a new light--less as individuals and more as the interconnected, interdependent multitudes we assuredly are.
The microbes in our bodies are part of our immune systems and protect us from disease. In the deep oceans, mysterious creatures without mouths or guts depend on microbes for all their energy. Bacteria provide squid with invisibility cloaks, help beetles to bring down forests, and allow worms to cause diseases that afflict millions of people.
Many people think of microbes as germs to be eradicated, but those that live with us--the microbiome--build our bodies, protect our health, shape our identities, and grant us incredible abilities. In this astonishing book, Ed Yong takes us on a grand tour through our microbial partners, and introduces us to the scientists on the front lines of discovery. It will change both our view of nature and our sense of where we belong in it.

Автор: Tuck Au Yong Chee Название: We Were Born on the Same Day: The Difference Between Western and Ba Zi Astrology ISBN: 1543748139 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781543748130 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 36930.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: There's a popular contention that if everything is determined by fate, what's the point of trying to succeed? After all, if it's predestined a person will become famous, perhaps he might not need to exert much effort, and fame would appear in time. But fame isn't always synonymous with wealth and success. Some famous celebrities still struggle with money issues. Possibly the best-known example is Michael Jackson. In We Were Born on the Same Day, author Au Yong Chee Tuck examines the life of an actor who had an extremely strong fame star in his birth chart, yet his career stalled. Then there was the ex-Beatle whose fame brought him the unwanted attention of a potential assassin. Tuck asks the question: if fate determines the outcome of our lives, does that imply two people born on the same day share identical fates? He shows how posing this question to both a Western astrologer and a Ba Zi astrologer yields two different answers. We Were Born on the Same Day investigates what it means to two people who might or might not have been born on the same day and why human decisions still play a role in their lives.

A Snake Lies Waiting is the next in Jin Yong's high stakes, tension-filled epic Legends of the Condor Heroes series, where kung fu is magic, kingdoms vie for power and the battle to become the ultimate kung fu master unfolds.
Guo Jing has confronted Apothecary Huang, his sweetheart Lotus Huang's father, on Peach Blossom Island, and bested the villainous Gallant Ouyang in the three trials to win the hand of his beloved.
But now, along with his two friends and shifus, Zhou Botong of the Quanzhen Sect, and Count Seven Hong, Chief of the Beggar Clan, he has walked into another trap. Tricked into boarding a unseaworthy barge by Apothecary Huang, the three friends will surely drown unless Lotus--who has overheard her father's plans--can find a way to save them. Yet even if they are to survive the voyage, great dangers lie in wait on the mainland. Viper Ouyang, the gallant's uncle and one of the Five Greats of the martial world, is determined to have his revenge on Guo Jing for getting the better of his nephew, and bent on becoming the most powerful master of the wulin. Meanwhile, Yang Kang, who Guo Jing has come to trust, has yet to reveal the full extent of his treachery.

How many of us would willingly forsake a long-held belief for the sake of love? What kind of risks are we capable of undertaking in pursuit of a meaningful connection? At what point do our feelings about the nations, systems, and people we interact with need to be held in high importance?
In Daughter of Palestine, author Victor Yong Jen Ong answers these questions and more in this novel full of history, international politics, cultural divide, romance, manipulation, and deception.
At a seminar in Malaysia, a Chinese man and a Palestinian woman meet who will affect each other's lives in significant and unexpected ways. Gabriel, an important director with Interamerica, and Yasmin, a researcher with the West Pacific Institute, each harbor distinct and opposing ideas about the world. But when a relationship begins to form between them, later involving their families and influenced by current affairs, it may prove to have disastrous consequences for all involved.
Inspired by the author's own observations about troubling global attitudes, specifically regarding the United States, this book explores far-reaching themes on an intimate and personal scale.
Victor Jen is Malaysian and descendant of a six-hundred year-old overseas Chinese community. Critical of the Communist Democratic movement, Jen leads young adults in international bridging endeavors, camps and expeditions and serves in political advocacy for right-of-center coalitions in Malaysia. He qualified in global affairs and international security at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA and corporate governance at the Federation University in Australia.
