8 Minute Meditation : Quiet Your Mind. Change Your Life

Overview :
In recent years, mainstream Americans have begun to come around to meditation in a big way-and scientific studies are suggesting that the physical and mental benefits are solid and real. But to many, it remains something mystical and inaccessible...and spiritually-oriented tomes on the market don't do much to make it easier.

As interest in meditation continues to grow, this book offers a simple, no-nonsense program to help beginners experience reduced stress and increased focus in only eight minutes a day. Designed by meditation expert and bestselling author Victor Davich, this program teaches the basic principles of meditation while clearing up the misconceptions and myths that too often get in the way.

JavaScript The Definitive Guide

Since the earliest days of Internet scripting, Web developers have considered javascript: The Definitive Guide an essential resource. David Flanagan's approach, which combines tutorials and examples with easy-to-use syntax guides and object references, suits the typical programmer's requirements nicely. The brand-new fourth edition of Flanagan's "Rhino Book" includes coverage of JavaScript 1.5, JScript 5.5, ECMAScript 3, and the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 standard from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Interestingly, the author has shifted away from specifying--as he did in earlier editions--what browsers support each bit of the language. Rather than say Netscape 3.0 supports the Image object while Internet Explorer 3.0 does not, he specifies that JavaScript 1.1 and JScript 3.0 support Image. More usefully, he specifies the contents of independent standards like ECMAScript, which encourages scripters to write applications for these standards and browser vendors to support them. As Flanagan says, JavaScript and its related subjects are very complex in their pure forms. It's impossible to keep track of the differences among half a dozen vendors' generally similar implementations. Nonetheless, a lot of examples make reference to specific browsers' capabilities.

The Physical Foundation of Protein Architecture (2002)

Description: A protein requires its own three-dimensional structure for its biological activity. If a chemical agent is added, the biological activity is lost, and the three-dimensional structure is destroyed to become a random coil state. But when the chemical agent is removed, the biological activity is recovered, implying that the random coil state turns back into the original complex structure spontaneously. This is an astonishing event. "The Physical Foundation of Protein Architecture" is intended to solve this mystery from the physicochemical basis by elucidating the mechanism of various processes in protein folding. The main features of protein folding are shown to be described by the island model with long range hydrophobic interaction which is capable of finding the specific residue, and the lampshade criterion for disulfide bonding. Various proteins with known structure are refolded, with the purpose of uncovering the mechanism of protein folding. In addition, ab initio method for predicting protein structure from its amino acid sequence is proposed.

US Army Survival Manual: FM 21-76 - 277 pages

As a Special Forces soldier, I read just about every book there is on survival. Most are hardly worth the paper they are printed on, and that especially includes the popular "survival" books which tend to contain potentially deadly errors and omissions. The main problem with these "worst case" books and others is that most readers, unfortunately, have no way of knowing what is accurate and what is fantasy. For readers who wish to stick to nonfiction, this book is your best choice.
This is THE definitive guide to survival. There is nothing here to filter out, no political rhetoric, just straight fact and easy-to-understand instructions on how to survive in any wilderness situation. The extended sections on the Arctic were of particular interest to me because I happen to live in that zone. EVERYONE should keep a copy of this in their home, car, and camper!

Programming Microsoft Windows With C#

This book shows you how to write programs that run under M'zoft Windows. There are a number of ways to write such programs. In this book. I Use the new object-oriented programing language C#(pronounced "C sharp") and a moderm class library called Windows Forms. The Windows Forms class library is part of the M'zoft .NET("dot new") Framework unveriled in the summer of 2000 and intreduced about a year and a half later.

The M'zoft .Net Framework is an extensive collection of classes that provides programmers with much of what they need to write internet, Web, and Windows applications. Much of the media coverage of .NET has focused on the Web programming. This book discusses the other part of .NET.You use Windows Forms to write traditional stand-alone Windows applications (what are now somietimes called client applications) or front ends for distributed applications.

Windwos Forms provides almost everything you need to write full-fledged Windows applications. The big omission is multimedia support. There's not even a Windows Forms function to beep the computer's spearker! I was tempted to write my own multimedia classed but restrained myself under the assumption (reasonalbe, I hope) that the next release of Windows Forms will include multimedia support that is flexible, powerful, and easy to use.

The classes defined in the .Net Framework are language-neutral. M'zoft has released new versions of C++ and Visual Basic that can use these classes, as well as the new programming language C#. Other language vendors are adapting their own languages to use the .NET classes. language in an .exe file. At runtime, the intermediate language is compiled into appropriate microprocessor machine code. Thus, the .NET Framework is potentially platform independent.

I chilse to use C# for this book because C# and .NET were - in a very real sense - made for each other. Because of the language-neutral aspect of the .NET Framework, you may be able to use this book to learn how to write Windows Forms applications with other .Net languages.
