Pioneering work on bud and plant shapes, indicating there are universal laws which guide an organism's growth into predetermined patterns. When The Vortex of Life was first published in 1993, Lawrence Edwards's pioneering work on bud shapes had already attracted the attention of many scientists around the world. In the book, Edwards gave a fuller account of his research, widening it to include the forms of plants, embryos and organs such as the heart. His work suggests that there are universal laws, not yet fully understood, which guide an organism's growth into predetermined patterns. His work has profound implications for those working in genetics and stem-cell research. Edwards died in 2004 at the age of 91 and Graham Calderwood has edited and revised this classic work.
Fifty years of professional experiences of one of the most recognised figures in international fashion education. A book by Linda Loppa could not simply be an autobiography. It becomes an "object". White on black, small format like a box to open with care. Black pages and white words to recount the discovery of a life philosophy, a method of working or thoughts written at special moments during her life. Her language is simple, fresh and direct. It reflects her moods and character and is supported by imagery, diagrams and captions. Restless, enquiring and progressive, she writes while waiting in airports or sitting on trains, she writes when she is angry or disappointed, but also to inspire and to motivate people. Fifty years of professional experiences live alongside images of childhood and the teenager discovering and learning, instinctively finding a world and a niche within it; the result is serendipitous, a kind of zapping around one's private life, a voyage of discovery like navigating the internet. Private and social moments mingle with cultural experiences, blending to create a personal story. Architecture, art and curating fashion are leitmotifs in Linda's life and these pages, but so too are memorable encounters with great people who inspired her. Architecture houses and reflects our lives; pavilions are shelter, but unique and uninhibited; laboratories house experimentation and offer a concept that could become the new learning process for the next generation. Sharing snippets, insights, knowledge and doubts can stimulate and inspire; sometimes a timeline is respected, sometimes not, because every day is a new beginning and a learning process without rules. With the rare combination of passion, experience and an open mind, Linda communicates the urgency of inspiring and transmitting knowledge. Free of dogma and preconceptions, her book can help to understand the difficult process of never giving up, believing in yourself and in others. Her words in white on black are pointers to living in a non-linear, fluctuating world and reveal the importance of curiosity and intuition for a leader of thought for the younger generation.
Living a better-feeling life really comes down to one thing only: coming into alignment with the Energy of our Source. Abraham reminds us that we are truly Source Energy focused into our physical bodies, and that a conscious Connection to that Broader Non-Physical part of us is necessary if we are to be the joyful Beings that we were born to be. Abraham calls that wonderful alignment Getting into the Vortex. Through a series of Leading Edge books (New York Times bestsellers), Abraham has emphasized the importance of our conscious alignment with the Source within us. They have let us know that our natural state of Being is inside our Vortex of Creation in complete alignment with Source Energy—and that every aspect of our physical experience reflects our alignment with, or resistance to, that Connection. Everything—from the physical well-being of our bodies, the clarity of our minds, and the abundance we allow to flow, to the satisfaction in every relationship we experience—is impacted by our all-important relationship with our Vortex. Abraham has helped us to understand that our dominant intent in every day is to get into the Vortex! And now, they have lovingly and specifically guided Jerry and Esther Hicks in the creation of an innovative and valuable tool that promises to get us into the Vortex right now . . . and that tool is enclosed in the Getting into the Vortex User Guide in the form of a 70-minute audio download. This unique recording contains four powerfully guided daily meditations that have been designed to get you into the Vortex of Creation in four basic areas of your life: • General Well-Being • Financial Well-Being • Physical Well-Being • Relationships. Jerry and Esther are thrilled to offer this powerful, first-of-its kind, musically scored, breath-enhancing, user-friendly tool from Abraham that will get you into the Vortex.

Published in 1924 and widely acknowledged as a major work of twentieth-century Latin American literature, José Eustasio Rivera's The Vortex follows the harrowing adventures of the young poet Arturo Cova and his lover Alicia as they flee Bogotá and head into the wild and woolly backcountry of Colombia. After being separated from Alicia, Arturo leaves the high plains for the jungle, where he witnesses firsthand the horrid conditions of those forced or tricked into tapping rubber trees. A story populated by con men, rubber barons, and the unrelenting landscape, The Vortex is both a denunciation of the sensational human-rights abuses that took place during the Amazonian rubber boom and one of the most famous renderings of the natural environment in Latin American literary history.
