Through the ages, water has been the inspiration of poets, painters, composers and philosophers.

Water 2nd Edition is an update and extension of the RSC paperback first published in 1983. This book discusses current scientific knowledge of water: its remarkable properties, its influence on dissolved substances and its usually neglected but controlling role in the life sciences and ecology.

Stories to guide you to success Awaken the hidden wisdom of your heart Live free of the seven deadly behavioral attributes that threaten to disrupt our lives! We can resolve most problems by applying the wisdom of our heart; all we have to do is listen carefully. However, in practice, a range of detrimental yet common attributes that we experience in large doses prevent us from listening to our inner voice. In The Code, author Mukta Mahajani identifies these negative attributes as the Ego, Over-Competitiveness, Jealousy, Overexpectations, Overambition, Anger and Procrastination.

Based on meaningful quotes from world leaders and revered religious texts, this book weaves short stories about the impact of these attributes. These narratives are designed to help us reset our mindset and resolve the issues we face in our day-to-day life. They help us understand that we have the inherent power to make the right choice at all times.

A Writer's Life: More Ups Than Downs is sure to attract large numbers of readers for its description of a career in the making and for the author's frankness in surmounting obstacles. Jim Shevis has had his ups and downs, there's no question of that. But he's always managed to get up one more time than he's fallen down. This is a seasoned journalist who traveled to Russia and Kazakhstan with former Vice President Gore, chinned with Norman Schwarzkopf, written speeches for Geraldine Ferraro, and covered Washington's power centers, including Congress, the Pentagon and, on occasion, the White House. Along the way, Shevis pursued a fascinating hobby - collecting autographs of some 100 newsmakers and celebrities he's met or written about. The collection includes the signatures of John F. Kennedy, Robert Frost, John Kenneth Galbraith, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Colin Powell, among others. While he has had an exciting career, the author has had some dark moments in life too - many brought on by his father's drinking as well as his own. A Writer's Life is a light, easy-to-read, topical work written in the lean style of a journalist.
