Hold onto your lunches -- author Jeff Szpirglas is ready to talk about the scientific facts behind our disgusting world. From mucus to vomit, from farts to phlegm, nothing is off limits. It's not always pretty, but it sure is fascinating. Find out why we need scabs, how spit keeps our teeth clean and why pus is a Perfectly Understandable Secretion. With his wicked sense of humor, Szpirglas explores the topics that we find revolting -- and kids find irresistible--and uncovers a whole lot of amazing science along the way. Chapters include Sickening Skin, Healing Horror Stories, Spectacular Stenches, Things that Ooze, and Foul Fossils. Irreverent illustrations add bold visual verve to the "engrossing" text. Gross Universe will keep young audiences laughing and learning as they uncover the science behind some of life's more odious occurrences.
This book is to explain the process of how the universe was created, how creatures, mortal and immortal came into existence, what happens to the universe after a long period of time, and how we can escape the physical universe and save ourselves from ourselves, called Karma. Karma the Science of Activity is a law that was established when gravity took shape and the creatures entered into it , influenced by its force field, which created desire-the desire to live enjoyably and oppose the negative forces that would create misery. Therefore how to be happy, is knowing how to oppose negativity. How to do so is one of the purposes of this book. But before that can happen we need to learn the structure of the universe, who lives where and why.

Everybody sooner or later comes to crossroads where the path of life divides and you must turn one way or another. This book is based on the timeless wisdom of Vedanta, ancient Indian spiritual jewel, that leads you to examine who you are, who God is, and what the world is. In a systematic and down-to-earth manner, Vedanta questions all your taken-for-granted assumptions so that you can see for yourself what has not worked in your life so far. This book starts out with basic facts but it quickly dives deeply in life’s fundamental paradoxes. It is a kind of quick guide for serious students who are keen on exploring those issues as a means of finding solution from suffering and life’s complexities. The ultimate goal is to find the knowledge that frees you from further dependence and feelings of inadequacy and lack. This book is based on traditional Vedanta and it is written by Vedanta students, Paul and Carol Bahder, in the tradition of Swami Dayananda, who is the world’s foremost Vedanta authority. Use of Sanskrit words written in parentheses after English allows the reader to effortlessly learn technical language, if he or she wishes to. It is a Vedanta reference that invites to be visited over and over again.
This volume comprises the major Upanishads, regarded as the basis of the Vedanta philosophy and the outstanding contribution of Hindu thinkers to the philosophical thought of the world. A comprehensive glossary addresses the Sanskrit terms contained in this volume — it provides a variety of meanings for each word.
This short book is dedicated to Chandrayaan-3 launch. Dear readers, today's time is the time of climax of science. Due to the untiring work of scientists, the world has solved many so-called inexplicable puzzles of quantum science and space science. But now the needle of science is stuck in invisible elements like blackhole, dark matter and dark energy. It seems that these invisible things are connected with yoga and spirituality. Anyway, even if science has got an indirect idea about their form, they can be known fully only by feeling those. When even such subtle elements cannot be proved without feeling, then how can God, who is the most transcendent and the most subtle, be known without direct feeling? Undoubtedly, science will also get an idea of God someday, but it will be fully achieved only through experiencing him, won't it? Yoga gives such subtle experiences. Probably that's why nowadays the craze for yoga is increasing in the world, even among scientists. In this book, the path of salvation for human beings has been explained scientifically in very easy words. It is based across the same Vedic mantra, “yatpinde tat brahmande” means ‘what is there inside the body, the same thing is there inside the universe too’. It has been shown that not only human beings do spiritual works related to yoga, liberation etc., but everything in this universe moves on this path. This gives a man firm faith in these, so that he does not hesitate to walk on the path of self-welfare. At the same time, this book also whets the appetite for science, especially space science and some quantum science. It also sheds good light on the most mysterious and amazing cosmic object like blackhole, and proves that the soul is actually blackhole itself, which is eager to unite with the supreme sky in the form of God. I have also authored a separate book on Space science and Quantum science as enlisted at the end of this book. While not writing much, I pause with the hope that the present book will come true to the aspirations of the space-loving and spirituality-loving readers.
