  This book explores the concepts of our planet Earth being a conscious entity, and all of the incredible places life has been found, around, on, and inside our planet. 
  I believe that planet Earth (also known as Gaia) is a conscious being in its own right. Many of the ancients also believed the same thing. 
  Even metaphysical philosophies like Theosophy talk about the Gaia consciousness and that there are even higher level beings like the Solar Logos. 
  There is an amazing amount of life on Earth—much of which has only been discovered in recent decades. 
  For example: did you know that life penetrates the Earth’s crust down to at least seven miles beneath the Ocean’s seabed, and possibly much deeper. 
  That life exists in Lake Vostok beneath the Antarctic Ice which hasn’t been in contact with the surface for many thousands of years? 
  There has also been new bacteria found on the International Space Station and in meteorites which have hit the Earth. 
  Life exists on our planet in many unusual and amazing places and you will be amazed at its diversity.

  On Time - Causality and the...

  This text revolves around a new and unusual view on the most fundamental puzzle of physics. It focusses on the key aspect that makes the role of the time dimension fundamentally different: causality. The implicit and intuitive way by which causality is usually taken for granted is just made explicit and less self-evident, shedding a new light on the gravity-quantum conflict. The case is made that gravity is a necessary condition for a causal universe. But upon turning to the "pure" unitary quantum physics explaining the nature of matter one is dealing with the strictly a-causal time expressed through the thermal quantum field theory machinery. When this a-causal microscopic and causal macroscopic world meet, one encounters the wavefunction collapse, that itself may be rooted in the quantum-gravity conflict. Modern ideas are discussed resting on eigenstate thermalization showing how this may lie eventually at the origin of irreversible thermodynamics. The case is anchored in the sophisticated modern mathematical machinery of both general relativity and quantum physics which is normally barely disseminated beyond the theoretical physics floors. 
   
   
   
  The book is unique in the regard that the consequences of this machinery are explained in an original, descriptive language conveying the conceptual consequences while avoiding mathematical technicalities.

  How many of us have been told after we graduated that what you studied in books is one thing and how it works in reality is something different! This book is a complete guide that takes you through all phases of a project from its inception, through design, all the way to construction completion teaching the concepts from a real life everyday perspective. It will give you step by step best practices injecting that element that no one talks about, human nature, egos and agendas. Don't kid yourself, when you manage projects you will be managing people more than construction. 
  Whether you are managing projects as an Owner's representative, for a Contractor, if you are an Architect or an Owner who wishes to understand all aspects of projects. Whether you just started or already a practicing professional, this book will benefit you immediately. 
  The book is an easy read stile that feels like a conversation more than a lecture.
