"Original, delightful, and full of ideas."--Robert Kirshner, Harvard University, author of "The Extravagant Universe" 
One of the hottest areas in science today is what we are learning at the place where physics meets biology. Among many revelations from this exciting cutting edge of research, Fred Adams relates an idea that would be a radical change in the way we think of the genesis of life. Specifically, life didn't start as pond scum in some primordial oozing lake, but rather in a deep biosphere underground, protected from the continuous bombardment of the Earth's surface that astrophysicists are now certain must have been occurring when life emerged. The genesis of life was IN our planet, not on it! What are the fundamental laws of physics? What was the big bang? How did galaxies form? How did stars form? How did planets form? How did life evolve? Once there was gravity, was life inevitable? Are we alone in the multiverse? A theory of everything is not just about the universe anymore, now it is about the living multiverse.

Psychology aims to give us a scientific account of how the mind works. But what does it mean to have a science of the mental, and what sort of picture of the mind emerges from our best psychological theories? This book addresses these philosophical puzzles in a way that is accessible to readers with little or no background in psychology or neuroscience. Using clear and detailed case studies and drawing on up-to-date empirical research, it examines perception and action, the link between attention and consciousness, the modularity of mind, how we understand other minds, and the influence of language on thought, as well as the relationship between mind, brain, body, and world. The result is an integrated and comprehensive overview of much of the architecture of the mind, which will be valuable for both students and specialists in philosophy, psychology, and cognitive science.

The emphasis in this book is on the practical lessons to be learnt from existing housing co-operatives. It provides contextural material serving as an overlook at the development of housing co-operatives in the UK. The book makes extensive use of case studies and examines the practical issues which would concern any professional or politician with an interest in the co-operative sector. The book is designed for managers of housing departments, local and national politicians involved in housing, developers and housing association administrators as well as for professional students on the IOH and other related courses.

Karen Andersen, a flight attendant, meets and falls for Major Frank Kelly, a U.S. Army Intelligence Officer on a flight from Manila to Honolulu in early December 1941. Frank believes a high-ranking officer of Admiral Yamamotos’ staff, named Shigata, is aboard the flight as well. “Why?” he wonders. They have dinner and afterward run into Shigata, whom they follow to a house on Keeaumoku Street. Later when Frank fails to pick up Karen, she goes to the house looking for him. Shigata sees her and believes she has discovered his Fifth Column Organization and has her kidnaped. While investigating her disappearance, Frank discovers Shigata tracking the ships in and out of Pearl Harbor. Shigata is injured during the arrest and held captive in the hospital. He dies mysteriously before they can question him. Karen escapes her captors as the attack starts. The attack is over, but the death of Shigata must be investigated.
