The reflective poems in this book try to capture the personal and universal quest to understand the human condition, which includes aging, time, purpose and relationships. That is, to reveal some of the unspoken thoughts and contemplative musings running in the background of our lives. As unique as our fingerprints we see and express the world with different refinements and word selections. Mark blends an inquisitive tone of plain speaking, infused with psychology and philosophical questions in an attempt to "try and figure out" this amazing gift of life. Through his poetry, he illustrates the common lifelong struggle for equanimity and the balance between living in the mind and living in the world by trying to place the "awe" and the "mundane" of this existence side by side in its proper perspective."My work is a blend of prose and poetry revealing the inner landscape of an individual without ignoring a much larger universality that we all experience." Mark Shoenfield

This book is based on the writings and video presentations of Barry J. Setterfield. Two fields of science, plasma astronomy and stochastic electrodynamics (SED physics), are combined to make a cosmology that can defend the Bible's claim that light was created before the sun, and that "the heavens in their vast array" were completed in less than a week. This cosmology can also offer explanations for many things that puzzle astronomers such as why there appears to be missing matter in the universe, why the universe appears to be expanding (but isn't), why so many nebulae are symmetric, and why the most distant galaxies look mature. Setterfield's work is based on the research of many distinguished scientists over the past century, including current "pioneer" physicists who are examining the fundamental principles underlying matter and space.

After a description of the various types of limestone around the world, the author lays out four problems with the standard theory of how limestone formed in warm, shallow seas. The rest of the book describes an alternative theory for the formation of limestone, suggesting that most limestone came from inorganic sources, possibly from mineral-saturated water that had been under the crust of the earth since its creation. In a global flooding event, this mineral water came to the surface, was sorted into layers by liquefaction, and formed a large portion of the world's sedimentary rock layers.

"In her first collection of poetry, Jennifer Anne Moses takes on death, aging, nature, sex, abuse, Judaism, and family. She deploys language in its lucid, informal and American vernacular, using it as a vehicle to express the human yearning to be in a relationship with the Divine"--

This is a complete curriculum about food chemistry for ages 10 to 16. The first half of the book (130 pages) is the student text which gives all the information needed. The text is lively and includes some cartoons and whimsical humor while still providing a high level of content that is suitable even for high school students. The text is organized around the theme of dissecting a meal down to its molecular components. We learn about all the standard topics of food chemistry as we look in depth at each food: water, salt, sugar, milk, butter, cheese, bread, meat, beans, potatoes, plant-based meat, eggs, gelatins, meringue, chocolate, sweeteners. There is also a short history of the discovery of vitamins, plus explanations of saturated and unsaturated fats, trans and cis fats, omega-3s, triglycerides, saccharides, enzymes, and more. The second half of the book is the teacher's section which provides suggestions for labs, experiments, cooking activities, crafts, and games.

This workbook gives you all the template pages you need to do the video ecourse "Mapping the Body with Art." The curriculum provides 86 lessons on human anatomy and physiology, presented as drawing lessons. The student watches the video lessons and draws along with the presenter in the video. There are information pages that go along with each video lesson, summarizing what you learn as you watch the video. In the back of the workbook you will find quarter-page sized examples of all the finished drawings, as well as some of the color pages you need for various activities (such as games) that go along with various lessons,.

Carbon Chemistry is an introduction to organic chemistry for ages 10-15. It is intended as a follow-up to "The Elements" by the same author, but can be used independently if the student has some basic knowledge about atoms, molecules, and the Periodic Table. The first section is a student booklet of nine chapters, covering topics such as the structure of a carbon atom, hydrocarbons, alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, functional groups, soaps, plastics, rubber, nylon, carbon dioxide and monoxide, calcium carbonate and limestone, the carbon cycle, radioactive carbon (carbon-14), and quarks. Despite the "heavy" nature of the topics, the text is light, easy-to-read and even humorous in many places. There are review questions at the end of each chapter, plus some review word puzzles. The second half of the book is a teacher''s guide that provides additional activities including games, songs, recipes, lab experiments, skits, crafts, and even a dance.
