Synopsis

Sundew Sticky Traps explores the captivating world of sundews, carnivorous plants that have evolved ingenious methods for trapping insects. These plants thrive in nutrient-poor environments, using specialized adhesive glands to lure, capture, and digest their prey. The book details how the sundew's trapping system, centered on mucilage-secreting glands, represents a remarkable evolutionary adaptation. Intriguingly, these glands are not just passive sticky surfaces; they are dynamic structures capable of sophisticated sensing and adhesion.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the diversity and global distribution of sundew species. It then examines the structure and function of the adhesive glands in detail, including the biomechanics of prey capture and the chemical processes involved in digestion. Finally, the broader implications of sundew research are analyzed, including their ecological roles and potential use in biomimicry. This integrated approach, combining botanical, chemical, and biomechanical perspectives, provides a holistic understanding of plant carnivory, making it a valuable resource for those interested in biology and nature.

    Written by one of the country's leading experts on Heart Failure, this completely new book provides a personalized approach, information and advice, guiding you and your family towards getting optimal heart failure care. Heart failure still affects over 6 million Americans, fill our hospitals and consumes enormous healthcare resources in the US and worldwide. Much of the impact of heart failure is lack of process and coordination of care with patients firmly inserted as team members. 
    Dr. Silver says, "Strategic Heart Failure is a distillation of how my team and I helped patients and improved their outcomes for almost 4 decades. I want to share this approach directly with patients; they can help lead their healthcare, understand how decisions are made and improve the entire process of heart failure care." 
    Understanding of a few fundamentals of heart failure care, especially the metrics and language that guideline directed care is crafted from, patients and families can not only join their care team but become the CEO! This Strategic approach moves people with heart failure from patients to partners within a caring, coordinated and engaged teams. 
    Four prior editions of his books, Success with Heart Failure, elevated the understanding of the heart failure syndrome among thousands worldwide. His motivation for Strategic Heart Failure was his realization that his work on clinical trials, research, training other men and women professionals, serving on national guideline committees, being an Editor- in-Chief of a heart failure journal and even being one of the first Board Certified Fellows in Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant was not enough. Even having one of the finest and most dedicated teams was not enough. It is critical for: 
    The patient to be involved 
    The patient to be the team leader 
    The patient to speak the "Heart Failure" language and understand the rationale and process for every life impacting decision.<

    I Am Cosmic Mind is the third book in the 'Save The World Series'.  The total knowledge gained here provides us with a new pathway through the evolution of the human species, because our present species - Homo Sapiens - has led us to the verge of extinction.  A Cosmic Mind lies within us all and is helping our next iteration emerge - 'Homo Planetae' or 'Man of The Planet' begins humanity's next branch of Evolution. 
    The first book in the series - How To Turn Back Time describes how Time flies about the universe in waves, for which I hope to win the Nobel Prize in Physics someday.  Everyone experiences waves of good and bad events the crests and the troughs of the time waves in our lives.  
    The only question left in my mind was - 'Where do these waves originate'.  For ocean waves, we know they come from the other side of the planet where the wind whips them up and they travel all around the planet.  For Time Waves, they must originate somewhere in the middle of the universe where other forces whip them up and blow them all over the place until they land in the events that make up our lives.  The answer to this question came to me in 'I Am Cosmic Mind' and are published here for all to see.  
    Then, more recently, I discovered that within our lives Time Waves are things I call 'Time Point Certainties' - These can be likened to the subatomic particles that carry up all other forces in the universe.  So, now we know that there are Time Waves that create a Time Field that is the flux that holds all other fields together in a 'Layer Cake' kind of assembly.  Inside all of this are points in time, like the one you are witnessing now that are the most important points of time you can recall.  All of this was designed by and is always maintained by a Cosmic Mind - who speaks to us all here.
