You don't recover easily. You have a major illness or high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other "middle age" conditions. You suffer a lot of headaches. Things that didn't used to bother you drive you crazy now. You are sensitive to sounds, especially if there are two or three of them, like the radio, conversation and background sounds. You can't figure out why you've hit a roadblock in your life. After all, you're working hard to get ahead. Your current behavior is causing your relationships to deteriorate.

This is the first book devoted entirely to diamond inclusions in all its known natural characteristics. The first half of the book defines external and internal inclusions, describing each variety with numerous full color examples. What makes this work outstanding is the section in which inclusions are tracked from the rough to the cut and how the integrity of the diamond can be compromised by depth and position of the remaining inclusions. Additionally, an entire section is devoted to the diamond manufacturing process and its relationship to inclusions. In this area inclusions are examined with regards to heat, pressure, rotation, and other mechanical influences. Inclusions trapped in diamonds are full of information that in many cases is still to be scientifically interpreted. This book take us into the fascinating would of micro-inclusions giving us fresh insight in one of natureżs most sought after gems.

A comprehensive presentation of the complete spectrum of methods for CVD-diamond deposition and an overview of the most important applications.

The opening installment in a five-volume series on the Diamond Approach—a path to greater self- and spiritual realization—presented by its founder Founded by spiritual teacher A. H. Almaas, the Diamond Approach presents a unique path to enlightenment that borrows from modern psychology and therapy. Through the method’s core practice of inquiry, practitioners engage with their inner world—the very qualities and experiences that make them human—as a means of unlocking their potential and discovering the true power of their spiritual nature. This five-volume series is a collection of Almaas’ lectures on the Diamond Approach. In Elements of the Real Man, he covers topics such as faith, commitment, nobility and suffering, truth and compassion, allowing, and growing up. Through these talks, Almaas offers valuable guidance and advice for those on a spiritual path, and he explores the challenges and psychological barriers faced by those seeking self-realization.

Design synthesis is a way of thinking about complicated, multifaceted problems of a large scale with a repeatable degree of success. Design synthesis methods can be applied in business, with the goal of producing new and compelling products and services, and they can be applied in government, with the goal of changing culture and bettering society. In both contexts, however, there is a need for speed and for aggressive action. This text is immediately relevant, and is more relevant than ever, as we acknowledge and continually reference a feeling of an impending and massive change. Simply, this text is intended to act as a practitioner's guide to exposing the magic of design.
