From single-celled embryo to fully grown human, Dr. Betts charts the major systems of the body, its interrelated organs and the revelations of microbiology. Find out why you couldn’t live without bacteria or cholesterol; how your kidneys and lungs are mirror images of each other; and why you are a mix of your grandparents but only a meeting of your parents. Illustrated with rare historical engravings and beautiful contemporary drawings, The Human Body charms and informs as it reveals how the most complex organism in the world fits together.
Moff Betts, M.D., lives and practices in Wales.
Numbers
permeate every aspect of our lives; very little happens without a basic
ability to manipulate the simple whole numbers we all take for granted.
Beautifully illustrated with old engravings as well as contemporary
imagery, Sacred Number introduces basic counting systems; significant
numbers from major religious texts; the importance of astronomy,
geometry, and music to number quality; how numbers affect architecture.
Lundy explains why the ideas of Pythagoras still resonate, and she
profiles each number from one to ten to show its distinct qualities:
why, for example, the golden section is associated with five, and seven
with the Virgin Mary.
Miranda Lundy has studied the history of number for most of her life. The author of Sacred Geometry, she lives in England.
As much of interest to mathemeticians as it is to artists, as relevant to physics as to architecture, symmetry underlies almost every aspect of nature and our experience of the world. Illustrated with old engravings and original work by the author, this book moves from church windows and mirror reflections to the deepest ideas of hidden symmetries in physics and geometry to music and the arts, left-and right-handedness, and to the most enigmatic human notions of equality and justice.

Joe Vitale was once homeless. Now, he's the millionaire author of
numerous bestselling books, an Internet celebrity, and an in-demand
online marketing guru. What did he do to create all of that success?
Was it hard work, divine providence, or both? The answer is surprising.
It wasn't until he discovered the ancient Hawaiian Ho'oponopono system
that he finally found truly unlimited success.
Updated for modern times, Ho'oponopono is a self-help methodology that
removes the mental obstacles that block a listener's path, freeing his
mind to find new and unexpected ways to get what he wants out of life.
It works wonders both professionally and personally. It works so well
in fact, that Vitale had to share it with the world, so that others
could experience the fulfillment and happiness he feels every day.
Teaming up with Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, master teacher of modern
Ho'oponopono, Vitale tells the listener how to attain wealth, health,
peace, and happiness. They walk him through the system, helping him
clear his mind of subconscious blocks so that destiny and desire can
take over and help him get what he truly wants from life. It clears out
unconsciously accepted beliefs, thoughts, and memories that he doesn't
even know are holding him back.

You are holding something very special: a part of the ancient past and, perhaps, a part of your future.
Based on a tradition over one thousand years old, this contemporary
Oracle has established itself as a remarkable aid in practical decision
making. When first published in 1983, R. Buckminster Fuller said: "What
a wonderful thing to have done-midwife the rebirth of an ancient
oracle."
