Andrea, Princess of Ziv
Andrea is a girl who still believes in the tooth fairy. When she is at home one rainy morning pouting because the tooth fairy left nothing under her pillow, her teddy bear tells her she is a princess in the Land of Be Alive and orders a half-conch shell to whisk her away to her princessdom. Fly with Andrea and go with her from depending on her adjutants for guidance to managing the affairs of the twelve spheres that orbit over her palace in Ziv and from believing in a tooth fairy to believing in herself. Share the adventures of the Princess of all of Ziv and her twelve princesses-in-training who enjoy galas, coronation ceremonies, and opulent rooms in the palace and the adventures of battling their fear of monsters, vampires, deep oceans, and evil entities in one or another of her Zivoids. Love the way she talks to somewhat strange earth-like creatures, plants, and rocks and learns shape-shifting, size-reduction, and the art of being a princess in which she practices controlling her thoughts, sharing, kindness, and the joy of living.

Andrea Cesalpino's ›De Plantis Libri XVI‹ (1583) and the Transformation of Medical Botany in the 16th Century
In 1583 the Italian botanist and physician Andrea Cesalpino (1524–1603) published De Plantis Libri XVI, made of 16 books (libri), considered to be the first treatise where botany is treated independently from medicine. In so doing, he broke with a long tradition inherited in Western science from Antiquity and perpetuated during the Middle Age through the early Renaissance. De Plantis lays the foundations of scientific systematics through a new focus on plant morphology and natural similarities and became a milestone in the history of Western botany. It is a precious testimony to the evolution of botanical and physiological knowledge in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and illustrates the role of Aristotelian philosophy in 16th-century knowledge. The volume includes an introductory essay about Cesalpino's philosophy and botany, a critical edition of the Latin text, a translation, a commentary, and indexes. It should interest scholars in Renaissance studies, historians, and philosophers of science and medicine, as well as botanists and plant scientists curious about the history of plant sciences.
Architecture
"The relationship between contemporary architecture and nature is fundamental to today's creativity. Some architects reject nature or imagine that they can create an artificial world of their own - while others are seeking new ways, aided by science and the computer, to chart new directions for the buildings of tomorrow. From ecologically-oriented designs to the most astonishing new forms, this book shows how essential nature remains to architecture."--BOOK JACKET.
Nietzsche's Presence in Freud's Life and Thought
This book examines the nature of Freuds relationship to the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche regarded himself, among other things, as a psychologist. His psychological explorations included an understanding of the meaning and function of dreams, the unconscious, sublimation of drives, drives turned inward upon the self, unconscious guilt, unconscious envy, unconscious resistance, and much more that anticipated some of Freuds fundamental psychoanalytic concepts. Although Freud wrote of Nietzsche having anticipated psychoanalytic concepts, he denied that Nietzsche had any influence on his thought.
