First Flight
"I was just an ordinary teenager with ordinary problems. Then my body started changing. Growing. I realized I wasn't normal. I'm not even human." "Rejected, terrified, confused, all I could do was run away, find somewhere safe to hide and figure things out. Then I discovered I wasn't alone." "We have only one way to survive." "Fly." When teenager Tyler Owen develops a bit of back pain, he doesn't think much of it at first. Even the strange swelling and growths that follow can't prepare him for the sudden emergence of his brand new wings that at the same time save and destroy his life. On the run from everyone from the sinister Evolutionary Corporation to the religious Angelist cult, he unintentionally attracts others the same as he is, like Miguel and Victoria whose lives have also been turned upside down. Together they form the Flight, finding out the hard way what it means to be the first in a new species, when all they want to do is learn how to spread their wings... First Flight is the first novel in the YA urban fantasy series GENERATION ICARUS.
Meaning and Universal Grammar
Volume one of a set of studies that is founded on the idea that universal grammar is based on - indeed, inseparable from - meaning. The theoretical framework is the natural semantic metalanguage (NSM) approach originated by Anna Wierzbicka and developed in collaboration with Cliff Goddard.
Design by Competition
What meanings do buildings and places convey to the people who use and visit them? Too often, design competitions and signature architecture result in costly eyesores that do not work. How can sponsors and clients get more meaningful results? In answer to these questions, Dr Nasar, supported by riveting studies of competitions and Peter Eisenman's competition-winning design for the Wexner Center at the Ohio State University, suggests the use of pre-jury evaluation (PJE). He shows the potential value of this approach as well as visual quality programming for many kinds of environmental design for which the client wants to convey certain desirable meanings. The studies, from those specific to the Wexner Center to those covering the scope of history, point to an alternative method for shaping the visual form of buildings, places and cities.

Multidimensional Microscopy
Modern cell biology is being revolutionized by the wedding of microscopy and computers. This book describes the new instrumentation and methods which allow three-dimensional reconstruction of specimens. Multidimensional Microscopy will be of interest to cell biologists, microscopists, and basic biomedical researchers whose work involves microscopic techniques. This book presents current results on a very active field in modern biology: methods in light and electron microscopy that allow the reconstruction of three-dimensional objects with the aid of computers. The book emphasizes the methods that can be used and examples of biological systems to which they have been applied. It includes extensive descriptions of confocal microscopy and its applications, as well as chapters on X-ray microscopy, low-voltage electron microscopy, and image reconstruction. This is an impressive summary of state-of-the-art methods in microscopy, in which microscopes and computers are being joined to permit specimens to be examined and reconstructed in three dimensions. Will be of interest to cell biologists, biomedical researchers, and microscopists.
