Paperback. Condition: Good. UNLIMITED YOU Why creating money for money's sake or achieving success for the sake of success is the wrong approach of making life meaningful and successful on purpose. Unlimited You reveals the missing link between achieving success and achieving it with meaning and purpose. Learn how to draw up and revise your success blueprint and dramatically increase your chances of personal or financial success. Some True Success Principle from Unlimited You Don't blame others for your failures if you don't want to blame others for your success. Believing in yourself means believing in your dream and you know that you'll grow into the person who is capable of achieving it. When you have a giant WHY, the right HOW will come. Create new thought habits. Choose to think thoughts of wealth and abundance, and thoughts of insufficiency and poverty will wither away. You are not who you were back then. Today, your results speak from a voice of experience and wisdom; and as you grow, your results will continue to grow too Each mistake and failure you've experienced - and learned from - is a layer that must be shed in order to uncover the authentic you. Ask for what you want in terms of what you want, not what you wish to get away from. Give AL of your thought energy to what you WANT. You can do truly great things to benefit others when you have wealth to share.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Few revolutions in science have been more far-reachingbut less understoodthan the quantum revolution in physics. Everyday experience cannot prepare us for the sub-atomic world, where quantum effects become all-important. Here, particles can look like waves, and vice versa; electrons seem to lose their identity and instead take on a shifting, unpredictable appearance that depends on how they are being observed; and a single photon may sometimes behave as if it could be in two places at once. In the world of quantum mechanics, uncertainty and ambiguity become not just unavoidable, but essential ingredients of sciencea development so disturbing that to Einstein it was as if God were playing dice with the universe. And there is no one better able to explain the quantum revolution as it approaches the century mark than David Lindley. He brings the quantum revolution full circle, showing how the familiar and trustworthy reality of the world around us is actually a consequence of the ineffable uncertainty of the subatomic quantum worldthe world we cant see.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. For more than a century physicists have hoped that they were closing in on the Holy Grail of modern science: a unified theory that would make sense of the entire physical world, from the subnuclear realm of quarks and gluons to the very moment of creation of the universe. The End of Physics is a history of the attempts to find such a theory of everything" a forceful argument it will never be found and a warning that the compromises necessary to produce a final theory may well undermine the rules of good science.At the heart of Lindley's story is the rise of the particle physicists and their attempts to reach far out into the cosmos for a unifying theory. Working beyond the grasp of the largest telescopes or the most powerful particle accelerators, and unable to subject their findings and theories to experimental scrutiny, they have moved into a world governed entirely by mathematical and highly speculative theorizing, none of which can be empirically verified. Lindley argues that a theory of everything derived from particle physics will be full of untested,and untestable,assumptions. And if physicists yield to such speculation, the field will retreat from the high ground of science, becoming instead a modern mythology. This would mean the end of physics as we know it.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. A vivid and captivating narrative about how modern science broke free of ancient philosophy, and how theoretical physics is returning to its unscientific roots. In the early 17th century Galileo broke free from the hold of ancient Platonic and Aristotelian philosophy. He drastically changed the framework through which we view the natural world when he asserted that we should base our theory of reality on what we can observe rather than pure thought. In the process, he invented what we would come to call science. This set the table for all the breakthroughs that followed--from Kepler to Newton to Einstein. But in the early twentieth century when quantum physics, with its deeply complex mathematics, entered into the picture, something began to change. Many physicists began looking to the equations first and physical reality second. As we investigate realms further and further from what we can see and what we can test, we must look to elegant, aesthetically-pleasing equations to develop our conception of what reality is. As a result, much of theoretical physics today is something more akin to the philosophy of Plato than the science to which the physicists are heirs. In The Dream Universe, Lindley asks what is science when it becomes completely untethered from measurable phenomena.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. The gripping, entertaining, and vividly-told narrative of a radical discovery that sent shockwaves through the scientific community and forever changed the way we understand the world. Werner Heisenberg's "uncertainty principle" challenged centuries of scientific understanding, placed him in direct opposition to Albert Einstein, and put Niels Bohr in the middle of one of the most heated debates in scientific history. Heisenberg's theorem stated that there were physical limits to what we could know about sub-atomic particles; this "uncertainty" would have shocking implications. In a riveting and lively account, David Lindley captures this critical episode and explains one of the most important scientific discoveries in history, which has since transcended the boundaries of science and influenced everything from literary theory to television.…
