If you breathe and have a pulse, you NEED this book. -Cody Lundin Cody Lundin, director of the Aboriginal Living Skills School in Prescott, Arizona, shares his own brand of wilderness wisdom in this highly anticipated new book on commonsense, modern survival skills for the backcountry, the backyard, or the highway. It is the ultimate book on how to stay alive-based on the principal of keeping the body's core temperature at a lively 98.6 degrees. In his entertaining and informative style, Cody stresses that a human can live without food for weeks, and without water for about three days or so. But if the body's core temperature dips much below or above the 98.6 degree mark, a person can literally die within hours. It is a concept that many don't take seriously or even consider, but knowing what to do to maintain a safe core temperature when lost in a blizzard or in the desert could save your life. Lundin delivers the message with wit, rebellious humor, and plenty of backcountry expertise. Cody Lundin and his Aboriginal Living Skills School have been featured in dozens of national and international media sources, including Dateline NBC, CBS News, USA Today, The Donny and Marie Show, and CBC Radio One in Canada, as well as on the cover of Backpacker magazine. When not teaching for his own school, he is an adjunct faculty member at Yavapai College and a faculty member at the Ecosa Institute. Cody is the only person in Arizona licensed to catch fish with his hands, and lives in a passive solar earth home sixty miles from Prescott, Arizona.

Designed for the undergraduate, non-science major, the thoroughly updated eighth edition of Human Biology, continues to present the latest information on the structure, function, health, and disease of the human body, while maintaining the central organizational theme of homeostasis. This acclaimed text explores the world from the cellular level, followed by a look at tissues and organs, and then moves on to a discussion of humans as organisms within a complex evolutionary and ecological environment. Dr. Chiras discusses the scientific process in a thought-provoking way that challenges students to become deeper, more critical thinkers. The focus on health and homeostasis allows students to learn key concepts while also assessing their own health needs and learning how to implement a healthy lifestyle.

Being in a Body is a kind of an “owner’s guide” to your body except for the fact that we don’t actually “own” our bodies; we’re just along for the ride… so perhaps it’s a bit more like driving instructions for the elegant and finely tuned vehicle the human body is. In addition, the book functions as a maintenance guide for aspects of your being that – like the cellular intelligence of your body – one doesn’t generally learn much about that in the usually very practically-oriented process of growing up. Being in a Body also addresses your relationship with your body, how to make the most of it, and how to establish it if you don’t already have one. We are, all of us, as a song once said, “spirits in the material world,” so the book addresses that aspect of life as well because it’s necessary. Your spirit is in its own relationship with your body; your waking consciousness – your mind – is available to assist in all this diplomacy but, as a rule, it usually requires some training, You’ll learn why that is and how to do it. The bottom line is that this is a book on wellness, from the invisible to the palpable aspects of your multi-faceted Self.

Do we understand how our food choices, thoughts, and emotions directly affect our physical health? Who controls our personal health and well-being? Our doctors? Our healthcare system? Our Lord? Or ourselves? As a Christian acupuncturist in private practice, yet fully integrated into the healthcare networks of Los Angeles, Jamie Chan-Ortega is able to offer natural healthcare and spiritual counsel within a system that all too often focuses just on the body in parts and grossly overlooks how a chronically stressed and negative mind, burdened heart, or broken spirit can aggravate if not directly cause a multitude of physical ailments and disease. Do you crave: —the wholeness of health —the fullness of joy —gifts from God, freely given We must pursue them! Can we follow God and take heed to science at the same time? Yes, we can. We can strike that balance between being responsibly in control of our health yet surrendered to God. With tremendous insight, great intelligence, and a readily-felt tenderness, Jamie encouragingly shows us how to apply scientific facts and spiritual principles into our everyday lives so that we can truly experience the fullness of life God intends for each and every one of us.

The Collection is a military organization and has over a hundred member species. They are at war with the Zolins because the Zolins are now expanding their territory and invading occupied systems. The Collection sends the Captain to the Earth system to surveil Zolin ships that have taken an interest in the system.
