ISBN: 1984555413

Life’s experiences often take the form of music, poetry, novels, or prose. J. P. Polidoro—a New Hampshire novelist, songwriter, and poet—has compiled within, decades of verses that were intended to be inspiration for or lyrics for songs—reflections of life—and verses that by themselves stand alone. In Words Without Music, Polidoro takes the reader on a visionary lyrical ride of love, love lost, often with personal elegies/odes using nature’s beauty as metaphors of life’s experiences both euphoric and tragic. The thoughts penned within are poems and prose that are often autobiographical but universal in nature. His lyrical creations over decades paint a picture in one’s mind, without need of the artist’s brush or support from a melody. Polidoro purposely offers no table of contents so that the reader may open the book to any page and enjoy the compositions individually, or in total, at one’s leisure, much akin to an individual song. Readers may identify with his past and present emotions and his critical thinking of the day—especially in a world that is ever changing.

Release: 1991
Genre: Electron microscopy
ISBN: 9780195052282

The freeze fracture technique coupled with transmission electron microscopy has contributed significant scientific information toward the experimental investigation of both normal and abnormal cells in the fields of cellular, developmental and molecular biology, and to several subdisciplines in medicine, including pathology, anatomy, and physiology. This book presents a complete and up-to-date account of the macromolecular organization of membranes and the many membrane specialization of cells as well as overall cellular organization as reflected in tissues and organs. While the book emphasizes freeze fracture images and the useful scientific information contained in them, the authors have also included transmission electron micrographs of ultrathin sectioned cells, tissues, and organs in order to aid in the interpretation of the freeze fracture image and increase the book's utility. Where three dimensional views are particularly useful, scanning electron micrographs are included.

Yet nearly everyone at some point has questions about what happens after death. At long last, here is a book to answer many of those questions: What physical changes occur to a dead body?

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The national bestselling author of The God Equation traverses the frontiers of astrophysics, artificial intelligence, and technology to offer a stunning vision of man's future in space, from settling Mars to traveling to distant galaxies. “Amazing … Kaku is in smooth perfect control of it the entire time.” —The Christian Science Monitor We are entering a new Golden Age of space exploration. With irrepressible enthusiasm and a deep understanding of the cutting-edge research in space travel, world-renowned physicist and futurist Dr. Michio Kaku presents a compelling vision of how humanity may develop a sustainable civilization in outer space. He reveals the developments in robotics, nanotechnology, and biotechnology that may allow us to terraform and build habitable cities on Mars and beyond. He then journeys out of our solar system and discusses how new technologies such as nanoships, laser sails, and fusion rockets may actually make interstellar travel a possibility. We travel beyond our galaxy, and even beyond our universe, as Kaku investigates some of the hottest topics in science today, including warp drive, wormholes, hyperspace, parallel universes, and the multiverse. Ultimately, he shows us how humans may someday achieve a form of immortality and be able to leave our bodies entirely, laser porting to new havens in space.
