Product Description
The concept of Gaia resonates with a wide range of people-- from nature lovers, theologians, and philosophers to environmental and earth systems scientists. The term, which scientist James Lovelock, originator of the Gaia hyposthesis, borrowed from Greek mythology, refers to the interacting system of life, soil, atmosphere, and ocean. Like the interiors of organisms, Gaia contains complex cycles and material transformations driven by biological energy. Gaia's inclusion of life means that from some perspectives it resembles life. But Gaia also differs from organisms in significant ways. Although it has changed through time, it does not evolve in a Darwinian sense. Whereas organisms are open, flow-through systems, Gaia is relatively closed to material transfer across its borders. It exists according to its own level of operating rules, a level as complex as that of organisms and the subject of the emerging field known as Earth physiology, or geophysiology. Blending science and evocative imagery, Gaia's Body offers an engaging introduction to this new field. It explains how every important chemical in the atmosphere is regulated by living processes--why, for example, strange, spaghetti-like bacteria off the coast of Chile have an intimate connection with the plants in Long Island backyards; why "biochemical guilds" may be Earth's most important unit of life; and how scientists have detected the biosphere's "breathing." The book ncludes a Preface written for the paperback edition.
Review
If you believe Science is unnecessarily baffling,...if you believe our Earth is suffering because of an unexamined drive for "progress",...if you enjoy masterful writing,...READ "GAIA'S BODY: Toward a Physiology of Earth..!" Dr. Tyler Volk has worked as a principle researcher for NASA on how a global system supports life. He is not only at the top of his field, Atmospheric Chemistry, but he writes with humility, warmth and immediacy. Even if you don't understand ALL of the "hard Science", you will be delighted at what Tyler Volk DOES render easily understood. If you, like Karl Popper, would like hierarchies to remain as they are, and prefer a harsh, thwarting sort of Science, proceed at your own discomfort. If you love learning, and believe it should be a pleasure, proceed happily!

Product Description
This atlas is intended to supplement the laboratory course for A&P. It illustrates the body structures as they actually exist so that students will be able to easily recognize the parts when they are dissecting or taking an exam. This particular manual has been a market leader, and this new edition will have the addition of incredible full-color photos throughout, and has many unique features.
Review
It is in good condition but I wish the software would have came with this book.
This atlas is small but packed full of pictures and useful info on A&P. Easy to carry and worth the price to have such an easy to use reference. Sometimes I sell my books after I'm done with them, but not this one!
I had an intense exam on the bones and it helped me prepare for it. I actually passed the test with flying colors. The pictures were great and very detailed. I would recommend this book to anybody.
