Hold onto your lunches -- author Jeff Szpirglas is ready to talk about the scientific facts behind our disgusting world. From mucus to vomit, from farts to phlegm, nothing is off limits. It's not always pretty, but it sure is fascinating. Find out why we need scabs, how spit keeps our teeth clean and why pus is a Perfectly Understandable Secretion. With his wicked sense of humor, Szpirglas explores the topics that we find revolting -- and kids find irresistible--and uncovers a whole lot of amazing science along the way. Chapters include Sickening Skin, Healing Horror Stories, Spectacular Stenches, Things that Ooze, and Foul Fossils. Irreverent illustrations add bold visual verve to the "engrossing" text. Gross Universe will keep young audiences laughing and learning as they uncover the science behind some of life's more odious occurrences.

This book is to explain the process of how the universe was created, how creatures, mortal and immortal came into existence, what happens to the universe after a long period of time, and how we can escape the physical universe and save ourselves from ourselves, called Karma. Karma the Science of Activity is a law that was established when gravity took shape and the creatures entered into it , influenced by its force field, which created desire-the desire to live enjoyably and oppose the negative forces that would create misery. Therefore how to be happy, is knowing how to oppose negativity. How to do so is one of the purposes of this book. But before that can happen we need to learn the structure of the universe, who lives where and why.

Everybody sooner or later comes to crossroads where the path of life divides and you must turn one way or another. This book is based on the timeless wisdom of Vedanta, ancient Indian spiritual jewel, that leads you to examine who you are, who God is, and what the world is. In a systematic and down-to-earth manner, Vedanta questions all your taken-for-granted assumptions so that you can see for yourself what has not worked in your life so far. This book starts out with basic facts but it quickly dives deeply in life’s fundamental paradoxes. It is a kind of quick guide for serious students who are keen on exploring those issues as a means of finding solution from suffering and life’s complexities. The ultimate goal is to find the knowledge that frees you from further dependence and feelings of inadequacy and lack. This book is based on traditional Vedanta and it is written by Vedanta students, Paul and Carol Bahder, in the tradition of Swami Dayananda, who is the world’s foremost Vedanta authority. Use of Sanskrit words written in parentheses after English allows the reader to effortlessly learn technical language, if he or she wishes to. It is a Vedanta reference that invites to be visited over and over again.

This volume comprises the major Upanishads, regarded as the basis of the Vedanta philosophy and the outstanding contribution of Hindu thinkers to the philosophical thought of the world.
