Description

Noted psychic Dennis Fairchild reveals the mysteries of a centuries-old art, showing how to interpret the lines and formations in the hand to discover character and predict fate and fortunes.

Do you have short fingers? Then you may make decisions quickly, acting fast, but not always thinking things through. What about your heart line--is it deeply etched or does it split and tassel? Are your fingernails oval or almond shaped? For centuries people have been looking to their hands for guidance about the future. Palm Reading never claims that this ancient art can predict how much money you'll make or how many children you'll have, but it does contend that "your hand is a miniature map of the inner you." Each brief chapter--covering the hand, the fingers, and the lines of the palm--offers keys to unlocking the secrets held within your own hand. Artful, whimsical illustrations help readers figure out whether they have whorled fingerprints or spatulate fingertips. Bound to inspire hours of amusement and interest, this little book is a must for your next party--and it's small enough to carry in the palm of your hand.

Description

“An accomplished storyteller.” —John Jakes, New York Times best-selling author From acclaimed novelist Barbara Wood comes the powerful tale of an Egyptologist determined to find a mythic treasure buried in the desert sand—even if it costs him his life. After losing a chance to be an assistant professor, Dr. Mark Davison is saved from unemployment by a stroke of extraordinary good fortune. A stranger arrives on his doorstep with an item any historian would envy—the journal of a Victorian Egyptologist who disappeared while looking for the legendary tomb of King Akhnaton. Mark accepts the offer to dig in the fabled sands of Tel el-Amarna to discover the grave—and a treasure that has eluded every seeker thus far. But Mark didn’t bargain for the seven curses of the Watch Gods. Silent and stone-faced, the seven gigantic carved figures have stood sentinel at the entrance to the tomb for more than three thousand years, created by a fearful priesthood who knew that what they kept in everlasting quarantine must never be let loose. The guardians were charged with an evil power that could bring to life the oldest, most dreadful nightmares of mankind—nightmares that could annihilate the expedition that dares to disturb the tomb. But not even danger, myth, or legend will keep Mark from making the discovery of a lifetime.

Description

Nearly forty of the world's most esteemed scientists discuss the big questions that drive their illustrious careers.

In Mind, Life and Universe they describe in their own words the most important and fascinating aspects of their research. Frank and often irreverent, these interviews will keep even the most casual reader of science books rapt for hours.Can brain science explain feelings of happiness and despair? Is it true that chimpanzees are just like us when it comes to sexual innuendo? Is there any hard evidence that life exists anywhere other than on the Earth? Through Punset's skillful questioning, readers will meet one scientist who is passionate about the genetic control of everything and another who spends her every waking hour making sure African ecosystems stay intact. The men and women assembled here by Lynn Margulis and Eduardo Punset will provide a source of endless interest.In captivating conversations with such science luminaries as Jane Goodall, James E. Lovelock, Oliver Sachs, and E. O. Wilson, Punset reveals a hidden world of intellectual interests, verve, and humor. Science enthusiasts and general readers alike will devour Mind, Life and Universe, breathless and enchanted by its truths.

Description

Maybe the first "How come?" question is "How come these books do so well?" And the answer is in how they satiate every boy and girl's insatiable curiosity about the world around them. Crack science writer Kathy Wollard answers those sneakily simple questions that ambush even the most erudite moms and dads. Like: "Why do apples turn brown when cut?" Or "Why do we get dizzy from spinning around on the playground?" Or "How can a fly walk up the kitchen wall?" The 125 questions are all derived from the experiences central to a kid's world—stuff that happens at home, in the backyard, at school, on vacation. There are the inevitable insect questions—"Why do bees die after they sting someone?" (the honeybee's stinger is barbed, and can't detach from the bee without pulling out its venom sac, a fatal injury). Food questions—"Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable?" (a fruit, in fact a berry). Science questions—"We used dry ice in our school play to make fog. How does it do that?" (Unlike water, carbon dioxide goes straight from gas to solid and back—when frozen as dry ice, it "melts" into fog.) And the classic: "Why can't we tickle ourselves?" (Tickling depends on the element of surprise—and the brain can't surprise itself.)
