The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Audio)
Based on interviews with today's cutting-edge scientists, investigative journalist Lynne McTaggart wrote The Field a compelling presentation of the theory that there is a measurable life force in the universe. Now in this original audio adaptation by the author, McTaggart takes listeners on a journey into this exciting arena of science called the Zero-Point Field that could be the key to understanding supernatural forces, healing energy, and the nature of consciousness.
BIOLOGY is an authoritative majors textbook with evolution as a unifying theme. In revising the text, McGraw-Hill has consulted extensively with previous users, noted experts and professors in the field. It is distinguished from other texts by its strong emphasis on natural selection and the evolutionary process that explains biodiversity.
Nuclear physics is the field of physics that studies the building blocks and interactions of atomic nuclei. The most commonly known applications of nuclear physics are nuclear power and nuclear weapons, but the research field is also the basis for a far wider range of applications, including in the medical sector (nuclear medicine, magnetic resonanceimaging), in materials engineering (ion implantation) and in archaeology (radiocarbon dating). The field of particle physics evolved out of nuclear physics and, for this reason, has been included under the same term in earlier times.
