Is life some chance occurrence on one large rock spinning around an insignificant sun on the edge of the universe? Or is there a larger picture to life, a greater unseen purpose? From cosmic evolution to human diversity, life is like a jigsaw of many pieces evolving to find their potential and place in the final picture. Richard Bryant-Jefferies takes you on a fascinating journey from cosmic creation through the threat of competitive separateness to human responsibility, identifying key qualities-pieces of the jigsaw of life-to be set in place in the world to enable the purpose of creation to be fulfilled and revealed. " through a series of gentle reflections from a wide variety of perspectives the reader is drawn to consider what it means to be a human being." -Steve Nation, from his Foreword " meaningful for practitioners in, or people committed to, the Person-Centered Approach and who are interested in a spiritual dimension important reading for those people who are searching for their own answers in trying to make sense of these type of questions and have no prior knowledge or interest in the Person-Centered Approach." -Irene Fairhurst, from her Foreword

There are many questions that almost every person ask at some point in life. Many puzzle over the implications of various potential answers before giving up and deciding to keep on living just for the moment—not concerned with any cosmic purpose or destiny.

A Jigsaw Life is a series of short stories that are set in the deep South surrounding a woman named Violet, a mother who suffers from bipolar episodes and severe depression. Lilly, the oldest daughter, will use her beauty and charm to maneuver through a small Georgia town but this ultimately sets her up for tragedy in the end. Meanwhile, the youngest girl in the family, named Jane, must work her way out of the heavy cobwebs of dysfunction. As a further matter, Violet and Jane are left struggling to overcome these hardships in order to prosper or grow. This is a collection of short southern stories that deal with flawed, and profound relationships, from the beginning with Jane, the child who must use her strength and creative energy to endure life with an unstable mother, and later she must learn to rise above her own father’s addiction. In other stories, as Jane grows into adulthood her romantic relationships are tested when boundaries are crossed and broken once more, wreaking havoc on the weak. Will she rise or will she fall? Can Jane pick up the jigsaw pieces of a shattered life and find her way back home again?

Ariadne: Living Life Right, was born out of Arav Sri Agarwal's personal reflections on life and how to approach it. It is about exploring philosophy (and its branches - Ethics, Epistemology, Metaphysics, and Logic) and what makes it such an intrinsic integrant of society, politics, and life in general. Ariadne is about Agarwal's journey and how studying philosophy bestowed upon him a means to adopt and nurture an optimistic attitude even in the worst of times.

A reconceptualization of origins research that exploits a modern understanding of non-covalent molecular forces that stabilize living prokaryotic cells. Scientific research into the origins of life remains exploratory and speculative. Science has no definitive answer to the biggest questions--"What is life?" and "How did life begin on earth?" In this book, Jan Spitzer reconceptualizes origins research by exploiting a modern understanding of non-covalent molecular forces and covalent bond formation--a physicochemical approach propounded originally by Linus Pauling and Max Delbrück. Spitzer develops the Pauling-Delbrück premise as a physicochemical jigsaw puzzle that identifies key stages in life's emergence, from the formation of first oceans, tidal sediments, and proto-biofilms to progenotes, proto-cells and the first cellular organisms.
