Making Inventions: Women Who Led the Way (Super SHEroes of Science)

This brand-new series highlights some of the major contributions women have made in the world of science.Women have been pioneers of inventions. Some have come up with practical ways to solve problems in their own lives, such as Marie van Brittan Brown, who invented closed-circuit TV because she did not feel safe opening the door in her New York City tenement block in the 1960s. Other women have been trained scientists working in laboratories, such as Stephanie Kwolek, inventor of bullet-proof Kevlar. Few of these women have received full credit, because their inventions are not always spectacular, yet we all use them every day: the windshield wiper, the paper bag, the coffee filter, and the diaper. This book tells their stories and describes their vital contributions.ABOUT THE SERIES: From studying the stars to curing disease, understanding plants and animals, pioneering computer studies, and unraveling the secrets of atoms and molecules, women have played a vital role in scientific advances since the ancient world. Yet their contributions have often gone unrecognized or, worse, have been credited to others. With lively text, photography, and art, Super SHEroes of Science sets out to redress the balance and give credit where it’s due. It examines the contributions to various fields of science of individual women from around the world!

Aurachirurgie - Tom Fritze, Gerhard Klügl

Gerhard Klügl je svým způsobem chirurg. Neoperuje v obvyklém smyslu slova, avšak v auře svých pacientů - rovná obratle, zašívá rány, napíná šlachy, vylaďuje orgány, rozpouští energetické blokády či nepříznivé karmické vzorce, a zmírňuje tak fyzické nemoci. Auru vnímá a vykládá jako energetické pole - prostupující hmotné tělo a působící na něj. Vykonává-li citlivě podpůrné "zákroky" v auře, vyvolává v jemnohmotných strukturách změny, jež mají blahodárný vliv na organickou úroveň. Mnohé jeho léčebné úspěchy jsou považovány za "medicínské zázraky". Kniha Aurachirurgie, kterou napsal společně s publicistou Tomem Fritzem, vypráví fascinující příběh výjimečného léčitele, jenž pomohl tisícům lidí. Oba autoři srozumitelně vysvětlují i poznatky kvantové fyziky a propojují je s dojemnými svědectvími toho, jak se jeho klienti "podivuhodně" či "nevysvětlitelně" zotavili nebo uzdravili. Gerhard Klügl neprovádí tzv. léčení na dálku, výhradně ve své praxi působí a "operuje" v energetickém těle pacienta. Kromě toho učí jemnohmotnou techniku aurachirurgie naturopaty, terapeuty, zdravotní sestry i lékaře klasické medicíny.

The individual stories inevitably concern themselves with football, and the phenomenal success that came along the way, but the lessons can be applied by anyone. Whether you run a business, teach in a classroom, or work in a small team, Leading will help you become a better leader.__________Perfect for fans of High Performance, Atomic Habits, Surrounded by Idiots and The Diary of a CEO

My Inventions & Other Writings - Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla's life is as interesting for his idiosyncrasy as it is for his brilliance. The inventor's mind knew no limits and his incredible sense of possibility rings through his memoir. This authorative volume of My Inventions includes three additional articles by Tesla which were published in The Electrical Experimenter magazine and represent the breadth of his interests: 'Tesla would pour Lightning from Airships to Consume Foe' (1916), 'The Action of The Eye' (1893), 'The Problem of Increasing Human Energy' (1900). Samantha Hunt, author of The Invention of Everything Else, contributes an introduction to Tesla's works, separating fact from fiction (there are published works out there that attest Tesla was an alien), while maintaining the natural awe of Tesla's eccentric existence.
