The Snake And The Rope

Science claims to be objective and to deal only with proven facts, but innumerable conflicting theories that science propounds remain unresolved. In this original and well-illustrated book, the author, an engineer and musician, argues with ample supporting evidence that since time immemorial the universal secret wisdom of the Adepts, known as Occult Science, has had answers to all unresolved problems. How is occult wisdom imparted and what qualifications are needed; how occult science explains Divinity, Space and Time, Energy and Matter, and the role of Sound and Light in manifesting the Cosmos — and many other fascinating topics — are explained by the author. He also makes predictions about the future course of science and suggests how science and occult science may be harmonized.

The Processes Of Life : An Introduction To Molecular Biology

Lawrence E. Hunter, a founder of the International Society for Computational Biology, is Director of the Computational Bioscience Program and of the Center for Computational Pharmacology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

"Becoming conversant with the intricacies of molecular biology and its extensive technical vocabulary can be a challenge, though, as introductory materials often seems more like a barrier than an invitation to the study of life. This text offers a concise and accessible introduction to molecular biology, requiring no previous background in science; it covers the basics in all aspects of molecular biology, from biochemistry and evolution to molecular medicine and biotechnology.

A reader who has mastered the information in The Processes of Life is ready to move on to more complex material in almost any area of contemporary biology.

“The Processes of Life is an excellent introduction to molecular biology… . By deconstructing an exceedingly complicated body of information into a set of core principles, Hunter provides the reader with a framework for grasping the strengths and challenges of modern biology... this book’s clarity and frankness make it an invaluable resource for any person, from any profession, seeking an introduction to molecular biology.”
