Despite the vital importance of the emerging area of biotechnology and its role in defense planning and policymaking, no definitive book has been written on the topic for the defense policymaker, the military student, and the private-sector bioscientist interested in the "emerging opportunities market" of national security. This edited volume is intended to help close this gap and provide the necessary backdrop for thinking strategically about biology in defense planning and policymaking. This volume is about applications of the biological sciences, here called "biologically inspired innovations," to the military. Rather than treating biology as a series of threats to be dealt with, such innovations generally approach the biological sciences as a set of opportunities for the military to gain strategic advantage over adversaries. These opportunities range from looking at everything from genes to brains, from enhancing human performance to creating renewable energy, from sensing the environment around us to harnessing its power.

“A pleasant, chatty book on a fascinating subject.” — Kirkus Reviews Octopuses have been captivating humans for as long as we have been catching them. Yet for all of our ancient fascination and modern research, we still have not been able to get a firm grasp on these enigmatic creatures. Katherine Harmon Courage dives into the mystifying underwater world of the octopus and reports on her research around the world. She reveals, for instance, that the oldest known octopus lived before the first dinosaurs; that two thirds of an octopus’s brain capacity is spread throughout its arms, meaning each literally has a mind of its own; and that it can change colors within milliseconds to camouflage itself, yet appears to be colorblind.

Dancing About Architecture reveals how J&P's very first song, Love Me Do, showcased from the start their individual songwriting fingerprints; how John contributed to the quintessential Paulsong, Yesterday; what makes a Johnsong a Johnsong and a Paulsong a Paulsong; and, among other things, the DNA linking such different songs as She Said She Said and Good Day Sunshine, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and Shes Leaving Home, and Norwegian Wood and The Fool on the Hill among many others. Dancing About Architecture traces the individual fingerprints of J&P on each of their 162 collaborations from Love Me Do to The Long and Winding Road, from the simplest structures (Please Please Me and I Saw Her Standing There) to the more complex (Getting Better and Happiness Is a Warm Gun) to their culmination in the Abbey Road medley; and provides thumbnails for the structures of each song. Dancing About Architecture is about songwriting more than songwriters and for songwriters more than fans, tracking as it does the expansion of their repertoire through each musical discovery from song to song, album to album, and triumph to triumph until elanem were sitting on top of the world.

Ella Efrain, a young girl, authors imaginative and fantasy short stories and poems. By the middle of the day, she had finished A Journey to Octavian Helixes, a sci-fi novella involving teleportation to a fictitious galaxy where she includes herself as the lead fictional character. It is located in a vast cluster of galaxies millions of miles away from our Milky Way and was named after its spiral shape with eight arms. Each arm is made up of a different type of life-confined planet. A faraway parallel world! The story of Octavian Helixes jumps back and forth in time, following Ella's journey from Earth to the faraway galaxy known as Octavian Helixes, where Ella guest visited eight different planets in the spiral galaxy's eight arms. It sounded like an exciting and nerve-racking adventure through the cosmos, and it depicted the eight alternative lives. The pages of the parchment diary were flipped over to show eight distinct fantasy stories that occurred on the eight planets in various narrative styles. Let us explore the fantastic realm of Octavian Helixes.
