Are ghosts real? Are there truly haunted places, only haunted people, or both? And how can we know? Taking neither a credulous nor a dismissive approach, this first-of-its-kind book solves those perplexing mysteries and more--even answering the question of why we care so very much. Putting aside purely romantic tales, this book examines the actual evidence for ghosts--from eyewitness accounts to mediumistic productions (such as diaphanous forms materializing in dim light), spirit photographs, ghost-detection phenomena, and even CSI-type trace evidence. Offering numerous exciting case studies, this book engages in serious investigation rather than breathless mystifying. Pseudoscience, folk legends, and outright hoaxes are challenged and exposed, while the historical, cultural, and scientific aspects of ghost experiences and haunting reports are carefully explored. The author--the world's only professional paranormal investigator--brings his skills as a stage magician, private detective, folklorist, and forensic science writer to bear on a topic that demands serious study.

The Mango is one of the oldest cultivated fruit crops, having been grown in India for at least 4000 years. Mango is the most important fruit crop of Asia and its annual production is exceeded worldwide only by Musa, citrus, grapes and apples. The last decade has seen a rapid growth of mango production, mainly due to expansion into new growing regions but also to the adoption of modern field practices and cultivars. A wide range of fresh, mango cultivars are now consumed worldwide and are available year round. The Mango: Botany, Production and Uses, published in 1997, represented the first comprehensive examination of all aspects of modern mango production and research. Developing upon the successful first edition, this book incorporates a discussion of significant advances in mango research that have contributed to improved production and will be highly relevant for researchers and growers alike.

It would be possible to challenge the Cell biology through a Cell Philosophy? By re-thinking the cell as a lively Being and subsequently to change the Cell itself into a Being? Into a lively Being? Called CELLULAR BEING? Our ambition, our enterprise, our philosophical and biological ambitions, is encouraged by the huge development of Cell and Molecular Biology in the last decades of the second Millennium and the first two decades of the third Millennium Through the philosophy of cell, through the philosophy of genetic code contained into the DNA, of its physiology and pathology, is enriched thus the self-reflection about the living planetary system into which the Cell itself, in its uni-cellularity or multi-cellularity, has been the oldest living Being, der älteste lebendigen Dasein, Cell is the Being itself, whatever in its uni-cellularity as prokaryote or eukaryote, as unicellular organism, or pluricellular ones, whatever in fungi, in plants or animals, in its physiological conditions or physiopathological ones, being then the basic substratum of all living system in the last of ca. about four billions years… …Then, once again, it is not important the words, into which the books are written, or into which the words are expressed through their morphology or dys-morphology, but the idea or ideas behind them, towards a re-thinking of a concept-o-logical biology, as a revalorization of life itself, Umwertung aller Lebendigewerte, within the uniqueness of our blue planet system… The science of astronomy, the science of cosmology, of geology, of biology, are addressing not only to the readers, whatever they are in the world, but primarily to the bipolarity of readers - thinkers, as the evolutionary development of the word of reader to the concept of thinker, both intertwined into a CONCEPTOLOGICAL FIELD OF CREATORS, through which myself is correlated into the triad reader - thinker - creator… Cellularologist

In order to know myself better, gnothi seauton, I have to descend into the strongholds of meditation, of pondering and of wise silencing, whatever through Greek philosophy or Hinduism philosophy… In order to know myself better, gnothi seauton, I have to know what is uncertain around me and inside me, whatever through myself as individual atman, or through a deity of salvation, as Brahman, or through a deliverer as redeemer of multitudes… In order to know myself better, gnothi seauton, I have to know what is unknown around me and inside of me, by making a presumptive jump towards final stage of becoming by reaching out the re-absorption into the final principle… Ultimately, in order to know ourselves better, of what is known, of what is uncertain and of what is unknown around me and inside me, and inside us as Species Sapiens, it is the duty-triad in every school, in every college or university, of all those who are trying the ontological jump in our Species, seen and analyzed as an epos era of the triad Anthropology – Sapientology – Individuality… Atmanologist

Dedicated to the Universe in becoming, since its own genesis through the Big Bang, always in expanding, always in changing, always in becoming, by giving birth to the atom, then to the molecule, followed by the born of stars, then to the galaxies… The Galaxy is the basic unit of the Universe, containing millions or billions of stars, with millions or even with billions of planetary systems… Within a such Galaxy, called Milky Way Galaxy, within a such solar system, called Sonnensystem, upon a planetary system called Earthsystem or Erdesystem, a form of life in evolution and diversification has given in almost four billions years to a form of rational intelligence, called human, who, in turns, is trying to find out as many as one can out of the mysteries of the Universe… Cosmologist in Becoming

"Frazier examines Merwin's poetry with regard to ecocriticism, anthropology, Merwin's fellow poets, Merwin criticism, and his own essays and interviews. Of central importance is Merwin's indebtedness to Henry David Thoreau, his sense that Thoreau guided American writing in a new direction whereby nature could be seen as something of value for itself."--BOOK JACKET.
