Five photons : remarkable journeys of light across space and time / by Geach, James,author.(CARDINAL)617475;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 177-178) and index.What is light? -- Old light -- Starlight -- Dark energy's imprint -- Black hole beacons -- Radio from the cosmic dawn -- Epilogue"The story of the Universe is written in the light that travels through it--light that we can capture. Nearly everything we know about how the Universe works on its grandest scale comes from the analysis of the light--photons--that may have travelled nearly fourteen billion years from the Big Bang itself to reach us. Have you ever wondered what is the most distant source of light we can see, or how a star shines? Did you know that black holes can blaze like cosmic beacons across intergalactic space, and that ancient radio waves might herald the ignition of the very first stars? Have you ever thought about what light really is? Five Photons explains all with the tales of five fascinating astrophysical processes through the journeys of light across space and time. They are tales of quantum physics and general relativity, stars and black holes, dark matter and dark energy. Let yourself be swept away on a journey of discovery towards a deeper understanding of the Universe."--Publisher's description

Monica Rambeau has called herself Captain Marvel, Spectrum, Photon and more -- but no matter the name, she's one of the most powerful heroes in the Marvel-Verse! And in Monica's very first appearance, Spider-Man will learn that fact the hard way! As Monica struggles to keep her awesome energy abilities in check, will she find salvation -- and a new home -- with the Avengers? Monica flies solo with a new job as a ship's captain -- but when hijackers target her vessel, she'll have to suit up to face their incendiary super-villain boss, Powderkeg! Then, when Carol Danvers takes on the Captain Marvel name, how does Monica feel about it? There may be trouble on the high seas for this pair of mighty Marvels!

I'm a photon / by Vavagiakis, Eve M.,Dr.,author.; Malbrough, Mike,illustrator.(CARDINAL)343052;
Includes bibliographical references."Fascinating photons make up light, from X-rays and microwaves to the colors of the rainbow. Scientists use tiny photons to study and create things big and small, like using a precise laser in an experiment or learning about the origins of the universe itself. Complex concepts are presented in a fun and readable style as physicist Dr. Eve Vavagiakis shines a light on these unique elementary particles and the many ways they appear and behave"--

Magnificent mind at any age : natural ways to unleash your brain's maximum potential / by Amen, Daniel G.(CARDINAL)368600;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 287-317) and index.It all starts with your brain: how you think, how you feel, how you interact with others, and how well you succeed in realizing your goals and dreams. When your brain works right, so do you. When it's out of balance, you feel frustrated, or worse. Yet amid all the advice about how to keep the rest of our body strong and healthy, we hear very little about how to keep the most complex and magnificent organ of all in top working order. Here, Dr. Amen explains in accessible language the range of options available, including proper diet, natural supplements and vitamins, exercise, positive thinking habits, and, if needed, medication. He also pinpoints specific ways to tailor behavior, nutrition, and lifestyle to deal effectively with common mental challenges such as memory problems, anxiety and depression, attention deficit disorder, and insomnia.--From publisher description.
