Описание: It survived in the darkness, but it craved the light. The quake of the century rocks northern California, splitting a tectonic plate and unleashing the Pacific Ocean on the sheltered vale of Gullhaven. The inlet to the sea through the steep bluffs is blocked, and Blackwater Bay rises, flooding the valley as the foundations of the Earth shift, causing a rift in the bay floor and awakening a bloodthirsty leviathan.Trapped sharks prowl the flooded streets, orcas stalk the bay, and something darker emerges from the depths. With the water rising and time running out, Blackwater Bay Constable Leonard Cannon devises a desperate plan to save Gullhaven, but an ancient beast with a primal hunger stands in his way and it must feed.
After years of experience of being a jazz musician, the author reveals a scale that the novice jazz musician can use to create soulful solos.
The author also explains an unusual approach to circular breathing to help wind players master this skill.

Описание:
McGinnis Investigations has been operating a small but successful shop in Campbelltown, an hour south of Sydney, for over a decade. Business has been what you'd expect in a sort of rough town in a sort of rough country, with an ever increasing circle of rough and tumble clients spreading the word that Dan McGinnis' team could get the job done, but only above board. Nothing shady, nothing illegal, frequently successful and frequently just skirting the line .
But nothing could prepare Dan McGinnis for the depths he would plumb when a wealthy Sydney surgeon visits his office and asks him to investigate her husband's murder. Her husband, Jeremy Brookes, was legal counsel for the owner of a right-wing media empire. The police say he was killed during a mugging gone bad. She thinks it was a targeted attack.
Crossing powerful media types, the real killer and two other cases that seem to be connected drag Dan and his team into the darker side of politics, money and corruption.

Описание: "New York Times" Bestseller and an Amazon Best Science Book of 2015 Life is the most extraordinary phenomenon in the known universe; but how did it come to be? Even in an age of cloning and artificial biology, the remarkable truth remains: nobody has ever made anything living entirely out of dead material. Life remains the only way to make life. Are we still missing a vital ingredient in its creation? Like Richard Dawkins' "The Selfish Gene," which provided a new perspective on how evolution works, "Life on the Edge" alters our understanding of our world's fundamental dynamics. Bringing together first-hand experience at the cutting edge of science with unparalleled gifts of explanation, Jim Al-Khalili and Johnjoe Macfadden reveal that missing ingredient to be quantum mechanics; the phenomena that lie at the heart of this most mysterious of sciences. Drawing on recent ground-breaking experiments around the world, each chapter in "Life on the Edge" engages by illustrating one of life's puzzles: How do migrating birds know where to go? How do we really smell the scent of a rose? How do our genes copy themselves with such precision? "Life on the Edge" accessibly reveals how quantum mechanics can answer these probing questions of the universe. Guiding the reader through the rapidly unfolding discoveries of the last few years, Al-Khalili and McFadden communicate the excitement of the explosive new field of quantum biology and its potentially revolutionary applications, while offering insights into the biggest puzzle of all: what is life? As they brilliantly demonstrate in these groundbreaking pages, life exists on the quantum edge."

Описание:
The Canadians are famously unassuming, and this Canadian home cook wants you to know this book will not make you slimmer, prettier or younger. This book will bring you what every cook wants: a few good recipes, the favourite recipes, the keepers. Lorraine McFadden has spent more than 50 years, cooking, collecting recipes and buying cookbooks, and these are the recipes she wants all in one place, before they are lost. Before that, she was an infant.
Lorraine McFadden is not a chef, restaurant owner or blogger. She's actually a Canadian Neuropsychologist who loves to cook in what passes for spare time. The recipes include Canadian favourites, such as Flapper Pie and the cookies that Tommy Douglas' wife made for him (hint: he was the creator of Canadian Health Care). There are her mother's pies, her grandmother's cookies, that staple of native Canadians and settlers, Bannock, and Quebec Tourtiere made with buffalo. In another Canadian tradition, the book price works out to a little over ten cents Canadian for each recipe, which is an amazing deal.

Описание: Living beside some of the most renowned scenery in Northern Ireland and an inspiration for C.S Lewis's Narnia, has inspired me to write these pieces. The people I am acquainted with have also contributed greatly to my writings and poured their emotions into my work. My intentions for these poems are to stir up feelings, encouraging people to ponder and capture the themes of each poem.

Описание: How did life start? How did something capable of replicating itself emerge from the primordial soup? How did it defy the odds? And how did it carry on seeking out the very mutations that enable survival? Living organisms are controlled by a single molecule - DNA. Yet the study of physics tells us that the behaviour of single molecules is also controlled by the laws of quantum mechanics. The implications of this for biology have not been fully thought through. Until now. In this debut, Johnjoe McFadden puts forward a theory of quantum evolution. He shows how living organisms have the ability to will themselves into action. Indeed, such an ability may be life's most fundamental attribute. This has radical implications. Evolution may not be random at all, as recent evolutionary theories have taught: rather, cells may, in certain circumstances, be able to choose to mutate particular genes that provide an advantage in the environment in which the cell finds itself.
