| NZ$ 36.50 each |
| Paperback |
| Author: Paul Callaghan & Kim Hill |
| Published by: Penguin Books (N.Z.) Ltd. |
|
Based on a series of popular Radio NZ discussions between Kim Hill and Paul Callaghan (professor at Victoria University and one of New Zealand's top scientists) about many of the biggest scientific concepts of our time, from the creation of the universe to the ascendancy of homo sapiens. Paul's gift is being able to make even the most complex scientific concept understandable to those of us more scientifically-challenged readers. The book is in a question and answer format, allowing Kim Hill to act as the 'reader's voice', asking the kinds of questions the average reader never gets the chance to ask. In terms of the breadth of the content, this book is similar to Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything. Subjects explored include: Brownian Motion, Quantum Mechanics, What is Life?, How Nature Works, Evolution, Sex and The Selfish Gene.
First published August 2007.

| Author: William F. Loomis |
| Published by: Princeton University Press |
|
This concise, accessible book considers from a biological perspective the controversial issues of our day: abortion, euthanasia, engineered evolution, cooperativity, and the future of sustainable life on this planet. Exploring in fascinating detail the processes by which cells come into being and multiply, Loomis clearly and simply explains the latest in complex biological research. He reviews recent insights into molecular and human evolution, the role of DNA sequences in determining traits, and the biological basis for consciousness, all of which, he argues, need to be considered when making life-and-death decisions and wrestling with questions about the limits to intervention.

The Healing Power of Water

| Paperback |
| Author: Masaru Emoto |
| Published by: Hay House |
|
Caroline Myss, author of Sacred Contracts, calls Dr. Emoto, "magnificent...genius...His research in spiritual consciousness is positively masterful.""
This book will transform your world view. Dr. Masaru Emoto's first book, "The Hidden Message in Water," told about his discovery that crystals formed in frozen water revealed changes when specific, concentrated thoughts were directed toward them. He also found that water from clear springs and water that has been exposed to loving words showed brilliant, complex and colourful snowflake patters. In contrast, polluted water, or water exposed to negative though formed incomplete, asymmetrical patterns with dull colors.
The implications of this research creates a new awareness of how we can positively impact the Earth and our own personal world. This book takes you further and deeper into how you can affect your own personal healing by reading it.
First published 2004.
