Marco Donnatti, the main character in the book, was an immigrant from Peru who came to the U.S. in 1963 with his wife and a baby daughter. The book tells the story of Donnatti's life and struggles during four decades of hard work while learning to adapt to the American way of life.In an interview with a Los Angeles reporter, he recalls his growing up in poverty in Peru, the dedication of his parents to make him and his brothers and sisters succeed in school, his adventures as a college student and as a soccer player. He then tells the reporter about his earning of a scholarship to do graduate studies at Cornell University and his return to Peru to work as a college professor. He then tells his troubles with the university administration because he dared to claim a legitimate promotion. When his documents were "lost," in 1962, he started looking for another job. A year later, he received a job offer from the Institute of Nuclear Studies of Oak Ridge, Tennessee. He then, secretly, applied and obtained an immigrant's visa and a green card from the U.S. Consulate in Lima. Thus, in December of 1963, he became "the immigrant." In Oak Ridge, Tennessee, he worked diligently in domestic and international radioisotopes training programs for college teachers and physicians. He also tells the reporter about his becoming a workaholic, his personal life tragedies, and his opinions on life, science, music, philosophy, the economy, climate change, immigration, and his personal approach to preventive

The Mathematics of Relativity for the Rest of Us provides a detailed explanation of relativity, particularly its mathematics, designed for the non-professional audience. The subject is developed from basic principles and observations in physics and mathematics, starting with algebra and geometry as taught in thorough high school courses. On the premise that this background suffices to build an appreciation and understanding of the subject, the crucial concepts are spelled out, and the key derivations are disclosed step-by-step.The relativity of time, space, and mass is covered first, giving some attention to the history of the two main divisions of relativity, the special and the general. Once special relativity and its mathematics are established, general relativity is covered, beginning with its relationship to Newton's laws and advancing through its revolutionary concepts as well as its mathematics.This process is carried all the way to the level of tensor equations. The Mathematics of Relativity for the Rest of Us treats topics such as: The constant speed of light, the invariant laws of physics, the basis and meaning of the equation E = mc2, the nature of curved four-dimensional space-time, the importance of non-Euclidean geometry, the gravitational bending of light, experimental confirmation of relativity, the philosophical and intellectual appeal of relativity, the nature of black holes, and the cosmologic significance of relativity -- both as concepts and as mathematical issues.As a result the sufficiently attentive reader is set at ease with the reputedly incomprehensible but essential details about relativity. Even subjects such as "tensor calculus" and the "covariant partially differential field equations of general relativity" will be clear. For instance such a reader will know just what a "tensor" is, why the equations are "covariant," why they are "partially differential," why they are "field" equations, why relativity can be "general," and most importantly just what is meant by "relativity." Furthermore, if a reader is shown the fundamental equation of general relativity, Rik - 1/2gikR = -XTikhe or she will understand what every term of this equation means, why each is included, what obstacles Einstein and his colleagues overcame to derive each term, what impact this equation has on modern science, and why this equation revolutionized our understanding of our universe.The Mathematics of Relativity for the Rest of Us also devotes a chapter to the relationship between relativity and quantum mechanics. It reveals the limitations of relativity and the direction of future work in this branch of science. The chapter concludes with the role of string theory in reconciling relativity and quantum mechanics.

Spirit Is The Cosmic All - Power has been purposefully written to complement, interpret, simplify, illuminate, and most of all validate the most intimate experiences (particularly the intuitive ones) we are having (and cannot talk about for various reasons) in every one of our living moments. It is true our Divine Parent, the Divine Parent of our spirit, is always and continuously related and/or directly connected with us so intimately as to be no different as the connection a baby has with its mother when that baby is in the mother's womb. This relationship is immutable (unchangeable) and it is real (immutable reality). We are currently (and have ever been) in direct communication with this reality, as it has been informing us every since we have been alive. Upon our realization that the human spirit is human life and is divine, we will understand that we do not need to earn the right to live. These words shall be understood not as a statement of economic heresy, but one of liberation and truth. Once the people of this world understand this fact, survival will crumble and an unending abundance will flourish in its place. Spirit Is The Cosmic All - Power is a story in poetry. It is the human story of a lost and forgotten spiritual legacy and heritage written exclusively in an original metered rhyme. The book has been rendered in a poetic verse designed specifically to appeal to two basic attitudes of human reason: Insight and Justice. It is a poetic rendition that topically and subjectively delves into our current orientation to life. It elaborates upon the realities of apprehending life correctly and also aims to reorient us out of the disorientation that has been our past and may presently be our confused state or way of living. Poetically, the book is designed to generate in us a revelation by delivering insight about the reality of our identity as the Spirit and our connectedness to the Cosmic All. A restitution of our spiritual legacy and heritage is initiated by clarifying the means to access justice by being free of injustices. The material contained within this book prompts the memory and encourages a shift in perspective and perception. The idea is to stimulate us with the inspiration to be who we have forgotten we are. Since the pursuit of this project (or mission) of "The Spirit Is The Cosmic All - Power", I have been predisposed to delivering this "revelation of Spirit" as a threefold message. The poetic purpose here is to deliver a message about the universal Spirit, namely we are it. The poetic principal (reason) behind this book is to deliver a message about spiritual objectives, namely our Soul is "for" ever. The poetic plan is for readers to re-member and to re-understand a message about a new beginning for "the becoming" because "The Bodies Are Here". "The Spirit Is The Cosmic All - Power", "The Soul Is 'For' Ever" and "The Bodies Are Here" lists some of the titles that are associated with the next nine books in which it is hoped that a complete delivery shall be accomplished with the message for which I have undertaken to be responsible.
This book is an account of my experiences growing up in the Southern Appalachian Mountains, about exciting situations I found my self in as a pilot and aircraft owner for 20 some years. Also, many times I have been asked about the operations of a railroad. I have tried in this book to relate some of these operations while telling what goes on in the cab and the sights that are seen through a locomotive windshield. I have also related some of the narrow escapes and dangerous situations I have found myself in as an Engineer for forty years. Sometimes it was humorous, sometimes scary, sometimes deadly. So all you guys and gals, who always thought you wanted to be a locomotive engineer let me tell you about what you missed. In some instances you'll be glad you did.
We are each a part of an expanding, evolving Universe, which experiences itself only through human consciousness. As the Universe evolves, so does our consciousness. Evolutionary currents are now rocking Western consciousness, as the old left-brain, logical, analytical approaches to life are no longer sufficient to create balanced, fulfilling lives. Western minds are opening as never before to expanded spiritual awareness, more typical of Eastern traditions. Without a bridge connecting the two traditions. integration is elusive, practical applications few, and dissatisfaction with life continues. Growing Into Soul: The Next Step In Human Evolution is the book which will bridge the two traditions, taking readers from where they are now in their lives, through concrete, practical guidance, to the next level. This level is the next evolutionary step, beyond 'survival of the fittest', to 'survival of the wisest'. Growing Into Soul: The Next Step In Human Evolution clearly illustrates the path of higher consciousness, then teaches readers how to live that path. This involves a shift from ego-based to soul-based thinking and responding. This easy-to-remember dichotomy allows readers to grasp otherwise difficult or complex concepts and processes. The book demonstrates that life outcomes are the result of how we interpret our experiences, and teaches how we can choose wiser interpretations. The way we think, feel, speak and behave can change dramatically as a result. Soundly based on human psychology, this book 'makes sense' to a very broad reading audience. This is a 'how to' book unlike others: elegant in its simplicity and practicality, yet profound in the depth of consciousness into which it taps, and the change it elicits.
All the Marine companies were now under heavy Chinese attacks; the sound of bugles and grenades rang out in the dark and cold. The ability of the Marines to?pull back, consolidate, and not "bug out" was most remarkable. No finer example of Marine discipline can be found. They followed their training and responded to leadership. My Marine officer friends often referred proudly to the quality of leadership with the Marines. The massiveness of the Chinese attacks was not immediately apparent.? Soon, however, it was obvious to all that we were "cut off," surrounded.

"Compiled by Dr Naseer Dashti, this first-ever Balochi English Dictionary written in Roman script is a milestone in Balochi language and literature. Bringing together the Balochi equivalents of thousands of English words will certainly be a great help for learners, translators, scholars, and researchers. Balochi is one of the oldest languages in the world but for various reasons its development has been hampered. This dictionary being in the Roman script will be a great step forward for the development of the Balochi language"--
