'Everything is for the purpose, and the purpose is love.' Suddenly discovering in herself the gift of clairaudience, an extraordinary journey began for the author at the Millennium towards understanding this fully, awakening her to realisations and perspectives far outside and beyond her own experiences and knowledge. Wishing to share these and especially some of the beautiful insights, wisdom and loving guidance taken down in dictation led to this book. These greatly enriched her life, and are quoted verbatim that others could be enriched by them too. 'We all work together dear friend ..... It is our true purpose dear, that of Beingness of Love. It permeates all planes, all dimensions from all levels of consciousness, thus the raising of consciousness is the 'beingness' of love, the Universal energy - thus infinity. This connects us all'
This is a book everyone needs to read; a whole new perspective on how and why the body's functions and its energy shape every aspect of your life.
During the long twentieth century, explorers went in unprecedented numbers to the hottest, coldest, and highest points on the globe. Taking us from the Himalaya to Antarctica and beyond, Higher and Colder presents the first history of extreme physiology, the study of the human body at its physical limits. Each chapter explores a seminal question in the history of science, while also showing how the apparently exotic locations and experiments contributed to broader political and social shifts in twentieth-century scientific thinking. Unlike most books on modern biomedicine, Higher and Colder focuses on fieldwork, expeditions, and exploration, and in doing so provides a welcome alternative to ...

The Life and Legend of James Wattoffers a deeper understanding of the work and character of the great eighteenth-century engineer. Stripping away layers of legend built over generations, David Philip Miller finds behind the heroic engineer a conflicted man often diffident about his achievements but also ruthless in protecting his inventions and ideas, and determined in pursuit of money and fame. A skilled and creative engineer, Watt was also a compulsive experimentalist drawn to natural philosophical inquiry, and a chemistry of heat underlay much of his work, including his steam engineering. But Watt pursued the business of natural philosophy in a way characteristic of his roots in the Scottish “improving” tradition that was in tension with Enlightenment sensibilities. As Miller demonstrates, Watt’s accomplishments relied heavily on collaborations, not always acknowledged, with business partners, employees, philosophical friends, and, not least, his wives, children, and wider family. The legend created in his later years and “afterlife” claimed too much of nineteenth-century technology for Watt, but that legend was, and remains, a powerful cultural force.
