Cancer is a word that brings fear to the very center of each person. Yet it need not be considered a death sentence as there are scores of cancer survivors. Vesta Beatty wants you to join her on her journey through the fear, anger, and sorrow of cancer into the hope and joy of life after cancer. She wants to share with you those things that were most helpful to her in her fight to conquer this horrid thing which had invaded her body and threatened her life. During this journey she hopes to bring you a few laughs and show you that she is not content with just the fact of her continuing life. On the contrary, she insists on LIFE in all caps.

This textbook details basic principles of planetary science that help to unify the study of the solar system. It is organized in a hierarchical manner so that every chapter builds upon preceding ones. Starting with historical perspectives on space exploration and the development of the scientific method, the book leads the reader through the solar system. Coverage explains that the origin and subsequent evolution of planets and their satellites can be explained by applications of certain basic principles of physics, chemistry, and celestial mechanics and that surface features of the solid bodies can be interpreted by principles of geology.
This book presents a translation and update of the classic German textbook of Mineralogy and Petrology that has been published for decades. It provides an introduction to mineralogy, petrology, and geochemistry, discussing the principles of mineralogy, including crystallography, chemical bonding, and physical properties, and the genesis of minerals in a didactic and understandable way. Illustrated with numerous figures and tables, it also features several sections dedicated to the genesis of mineral resources. The textbook reflects the authors’ many years of experience and is ideal for use in lectures on mineralogy and petrology.
