by
Gerald L. Schroeder
|
|
Do You Believe? Gerald Schroeder, an MIT-trained scientist who has worked in both physics and biology, has emerged in recent years as one of the most popular and accessible apostles for the melding of science and religion. He first reconciled science and faith as different perspectives on a single whole in The Science of God. Now, in The Hidden Face of God, Schroeder takes a bold step forward, to show that science, properly understood, provides positive reasons for faith. From the wisdom encoded...

The Origin of Species [Secure Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/Palm Reader]
by
Charles Darwin
|
|
Perhaps the most readable and accessible of the great works of the scientific imagination, The Origin of Species sold out on the day it was published in 1859. Theologians quickly labeled Charles Darwin the most dangerous man in England, and, as the Saturday Review noted, the uproar over the book quickly 'passed beyond the bounds of the study and lecture-room into the drawing-room and the public street.' Yet after reading it, Darwin's friend and colleague T. H. Huxley had a different reaction: 'H...

Working Quantum Consciousness [MultiFormat]
by
A. L. Sirois
|
|
Immortality may yet be within reach. As a structural element in the new quantum mechanics view of intelligence and the universe, microtubules look like hexagonal lattices of the protein tubulin, arranged cylindrically. Through mechanisms not yet fully understood, these cylindrical lattices self-assemble, extending axons and dendrites and forming synaptic connections, which they then regulate and maintain. A. L. Sirois spells it all out for us in this informative and entertaining article. (Published: 2003)

A Hypervista of the Java Landscape [Secure Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/Palm Reader]

John Landahl

As one author has insightfully declared, Java suffers from the "surfeit of Zen" problem: it is difficult to understand any part without first understanding all, or at least many, of the others. This "hypervista"--in essence a hyperlinked glossary--is intended to make it easier to grasp the relationships among parts.
