  Bat Bomb - World War II's Other...

  “Inside information on a wondrously droll, highly classified yarn from WWII . . . A well-told, stranger-than-fiction tale that could make a terrific movie.” —Kirkus Reviews   The plan: attach small incendiary bombs to millions of bats and release them over Japan’s major cities. As the bats went to roost, a million fires would flare up in remote crannies of the wood and paper buildings common throughout Japan. When their cities were reduced to ashes, the Japanese would surely capitulate . . .   Told here by the youngest member of the team, this is the story of the bat bomb project, or Project X-Ray, as it was officially known. In scenes worthy of a Capra or Hawks comedy, Jack Couffer recounts the unorthodox experiments carried out in the secrecy of Bandera, Texas, Carlsbad, New Mexico, and El Centro, California, in 1942-1943 by “Doc” Adams’ private army. This oddball cast of characters included an eccentric inventor, a distinguished Harvard scientist, a biologist with a chip on his shoulder, a movie star, a Texas guano collector, a crusty Marine Corps colonel, a Maine lobster fisherman, an ex-mobster, and a tiger.   The bat bomb researchers risked life and limb to explore uncharted bat caves and “recruit” thousands of bats to serve their country, certain that they could end the war with Japan. And they might have—in their first airborne test, the bat bombers burned an entire brand-new military airfield to the ground.   For everyone who relishes true tales of action and adventure, Bat Bomb is a must-read. Bat enthusiasts will also discover the beginnings of the scientific study of bats.

  “The value of these experiences in the first person, is fundamental to expand knowledge of our true nature and the essence of our Consciousness.” Dr Patrizio Tressoldi, Science of Consciousness Research Group, Department of General Psychology, University of Padua, Italy 
  In Dream Physics, Damian Amamoo shows you how to explore your consciousness and connect with your own lucid inner truth. Dream Physics begins by taking a look at problems facing modern science including difficulties accepting “odd” phenomena and the quest for a Grand Unified Theory of everything or GUT. Dream Physics then prepares you for a journey of consciousness by introducing a framework for “Creative Science” to familiarize you with some of the environments that are accessible via lucid dreaming. We will cover 
  ·     Interpenetration 
  ·     The Multiverse 
  ·     Parallel Worlds 
  ·     Probable Realities 
  ·     The nature of time 
  ·     Planes of existence 
  ·     Subtle body vehicles of consciousness 
  Drawing on nearly 20 years of original research, Dream Physics places you on our shoulder as we use lucid dreaming to change form, fly, analyze, wonder, shrink, expand, move things about and conduct experiments using mobile consciousness that is part of our lucid truth. Lucid skills that are available to everyone who cares to learn including scientists, quantum physicists, neuroscientists, experimental psychologists, therapists, philosophers and above all you. 
  “We are going to give scientists new tools for thinking about matter, consciousness and physics. We are going to give you new inner tools to explore your lucid truth and draw greater pleasure from your waking and sleeping experiences.”

The result is an oasis in the desert, with a model that can be applied in any community, from desert to coastal ranges and from remote rural homesteads to suburbia. Most important, it's a model that can help solve an impending water crisis facing communities across the globe.

  A leading ornithologist shares his personal insights and experiences with birds across the globe in this collection of lyrical essays and drawings.Paul Johnsgard is one of America's most prominent ornithologists and a world authority on waterfowl behavior. In Earth, Water, and Sky, he describes some of his most fascinating encounters with birds, from watching the annual mating displays of prairie-chickens on a hilltop in Pawnee County, Nebraska, to attempting to solve some of the mysteries surrounding Australia's nearly flightless musk duck. Reflecting his worldwide interests and travels, the birds Johnsgard describes inhabit many parts of the globe. Grouping the birds by the element they frequent most—earth, water, or sky—he weaves a wealth of natural history into personal stories drawn from a lifetime of avian observation. And, as a bonus, Johnsgard’s lovely pen-and-ink drawings illustrate each species he describes.

  The Nature of Selection is a straightforward, self-contained introduction to philosophical and biological problems in evolutionary theory. It presents a powerful analysis of the evolutionary concepts of natural selection, fitness, and adaptation and clarifies controversial issues concerning altruism, group selection, and the idea that organisms are survival machines built for the good of the genes that inhabit them. "Sober's is the answering philosophical voice, the voice of a first-rate philosopher and a knowledgeable student of contemporary evolutionary theory. His book merits broad attention among both communities. It should also inspire others to continue the conversation."-Philip Kitcher, Nature "Elliott Sober has made extraordinarily important contributions to our understanding of biological problems in evolutionary biology and causality. The Nature of Selection is a major contribution to understanding epistemological problems in evolutionary theory. I predict that it will have a long lasting place in the literature."-Richard C. Lewontin
