The book begins with familiar designs found all around and inside us (such as the ‘trees’ of river basins, human lungs, blood and city traffic). It then shows how all flow systems are driven by power from natural engines everywhere, and how they are endlessly shaped because of freedom. Finally, Professor Bejan explains how people, like everything else that moves on earth, are driven by power derived from our “engines” that consume fuel and food, and that our movement dissipates the power completely and changes constantly for greater access, economies of scale, efficiency, innovation and life. Written for wide audiences of all ages, including readers interested in science, patterns in nature, similarity and non-uniformity, history and the future, and those just interested in having fun with ideas, the book shows how many “design change” concepts acquire a solid scientific footing and how they exist with the evolution of nature, society, technology and science.

In this interdisciplinary study, scholars consider the aftermath of slavery, focusing on Caribbean societies and the southern United States. What was the nature and impact of slave emancipation? Did the change in legal status conceal underlying continuities in American plantation societies? Was there a common postemancipation pattern of economic development? How did emancipation affect the politics and culture of race and class? This comparative study addresses precisely these types of questions as it makes a significant contribution to a new a growing field.

This is an extraordinary new and important work on the inner journey written by Christine Wushke, a woman whose life has seen a series of classical spiritual encounters and experiences. In these pages, she shares with us her amazing revelations, their intoxicating sweetness, and their life-giving fruit. But the book is more than just the fascinating story of Christine's own spiritual growth, for it unfolds for the reader a renewed understanding of life in general, accompanied by practical exercises that anyone can use to begin to change their own inner landscape - and with it - their outer world. Using parables, stories, experiences, and insights from her meditations, she takes the reader on a double-decker journey: both hers and their own.
