The book is simply a condensed version of the first edition of the Origin of Species. There is little doubt that since its first appearance in 1859, Darwin's Origin of Species has had a profound effect on western thought. It is still in print but it is not easy to read. However, there is much to learn from the first edition of the Origin that is relevant to our present life style, and it would surprise many readers to discover that what today are considered recent ecological insights were in fact well known to Darwin 150 years ago.

The problem is simply that Darwin wrote in the style of his time and to the modern taste there are too many words. In the condensed version the unnecessary words have been removed. The result is a book half the size of the original that is very easy to read. The Victorian style has been retained so that the condensed version still reads as if it had come from Darwin's pen, but the ideas that he wanted us to hear are now very clearly presented.

The original title of this manuscript was Pages - A Voyage to Infinity. It's kinda like Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass; a collection of poems with an underlying mystical theme. My dissertation is a kaleidoscope puzzle of images and thoughts and concepts and ideas taken from mysticism, science, logic, and mathematics. The end result, as the puzzle pieces are linked together, is a new portrait of Number. The reader is challenged to solve a conceptual picture puzzle using the chaotic scattering of puzzle pieces set forth in the thesis.

Some of the pieces challenge established ideas. Some of the pieces are decoys leading to dead ends. Some are background. Others are transition pieces. And, there are pieces that give the reader glimpses of me, the writ er of this thesis. So, exact ly what is infinit y? As the pieces of the puzzle are put together a new concept of infinity emerges, a concept that may be of interest to the mystics, the philosopher, the quantum physicist, and mathematicians who are open to a new window through which to view reality.

Using simple geometry and an easygoing writing style, author Rob Bryanton starts with the lower dimensions that we are all familiar with, then uses those concepts to build one layer upon another, ultimately arriving at a way of imagining the tenth dimension.

Part scientific exploration, part philosophy, this unique book touches upon such diverse topics as dark matter, Feynman's "sum over paths", the quantum observer, and the soul. It is aimed at anyone interested in leading-edge theories about cosmology and the nature of reality, but it is not about mainstream physics. Rather, Imagining the Tenth Dimension is a mind-expanding exercise that could change the way you view this incredible universe in which we live.

Solutions to differential equations which model physical systems are of two types; geometric and probabilistic. Geometry and probability are incompatible with one another. The conclusion must be that the language base for physical theory needs to be changed.

This book, The Authority of Material vs. the Spirit along with the book A New Copernican Revolution, change the basis of the language to be used for physical description. The new language uses patterns of mathematics that fit into the context of differential equations and which subsequently allow for predictive and verifiable descriptions of material, life, mind, and the intent of the spirit, so that material is a proper subset of the spirit.

Letting the language of physical description be based on the spectral structures of metric spaces (discrete isometry subgroups) within a dimensional hierarchy of different signature metric spaces, so that both material and physical properties are associated directly to metric spaces, creates a new context in which to describe material, life, mind, and the creative intent of existence, ie The Spirit.

How did life form, and why did it form so quickly after the earth cooled? The evidence seems to point to life's existence within one million years after the earth cooled. These new ideas say that life is a natural part of the mathematical description of existence. That is, life is a property of the mathematical structure, within this new way to describe physical systems.

A monograph on Neuroscience written to introduce the reader to the basic sciences of the Nervous System: Neurobiology and Behavioral Science. The text is conceptually illustrated and written in a familiar way to encourage the reader to participate to better understand him or her self. Further, encompassing the material contained within this monograph presented with tripartite logic in relation to the biologic and behavioral material will form a foundation for a more meaningful in depth study of the Nervous System and all of its ramifications.

The Appendix contains a book of poetry written in concert with the creation of this monograph.

The gist of AHA! is to show that what 21st century humans like doing most is tribal in nature and still based on getting one's DNA into the next generation. We love our car and get great satisfaction from the cell-phone, make McDonald's or Home Depot a roaring success, adore Oprah and tolerate elevator music because not enough generations have gone by to shake off ancient survival behaviour. Eleven chapters take an amusing look at some pretty basic impulses evolved for life in the savannah and how we indulge them today: we love to chew and drink while watching TV; we buy magazines stuffed with illustrated gossip about celebrities; we can't resist adding that pea-green blouse at 70% off regular price to our crammed closet. In the last chapter AHA! concludes that the print culture (though not print) is waning because focussing in solitude on black marks in a line is not the heritage of our still in-control past.
