Book Description
Pop Quiz: • Have you ever woken up and felt bad about yourself for no reason whatsoever? • Have you spent time trying to figure out how to get into the popular group at school? • Have you ever been embarrassed by your dad singing in the car with your friends? • Have you noticed that things are starting to feel different than ever before? • Do you change your opinion—or even your personality around different friends? • Do you get overwhelmed with all of the thoughts and feelings bouncing around inside of you? If you answered yes to even one of these questions, you passed the quiz. That means you’re a normal girl, who is going through the confusing changes of growing up! Sometimes it might feel like you woke up in a whole new world—kind of like Dorothy, in the Wizard of Oz. The good news is, you’re not alone. Melissa and Sissy, the authors of this book, think they can help you figure out some of the big questions in your life. Even if you haven’t asked them out loud, chances are you’ve started to wonder: • Who am I? • What do I want? • What should I do? • Who do I want to be? While they’re no longer teenagers, Melissa and Sissy remember a bit about what it was like to be 11 or 12—almost a teenager. But more than that, they talk with girls who are a lot like you every day—girls who are feeling confused or overwhelmed, who are feeling like they’re changing in ways they don’t understand—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—and they feel like their lives are out of their own control. In this book, Melissa and Sissy, along with girls your age, will share some insight into what’s going on in your life. You’ll find that you’re not going crazy—you’re just growing up and becoming the person God has created you to be.

Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
This edition of I'M HERE TO WIN is an enhanced e-book with exclusive embedded video from the author. In I'M HERE TO WIN, Chris "Macca" McCormack opens his playbook and reveals everything it takes-mind, body, and spirit-to become a champion. Now he shares the story of his triumphs and the never-say-die dedication that has made him the world's most successful triathlete. In 2010, at the age of 37, Macca beat the odds and won the Ford Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii for a second time in what many called the most dramatic finish in the race's history. Macca's journey to athletic greatness is more than just one of physical perseverance. After coming in fourth in Hawaii in 2009, Macca returned to the island on a mission: He was there to win. A game plan containing a new strategic approach to winning brought him first across the finish line. Chris McCormack has dedicated his life to training for-and winning-the Ironman Hawaii, one of the most grueling tests of mental and physical endurance in the world. The race challenges athletes to swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, and run a full marathon, 26.2 miles, using all their strength and willpower to overcome the incredibly harsh conditions. In I'M HERE TO WIN Macca provides concrete training advice for everyone-from weekend warriors who casually compete to seasoned veterans who race every week to armchair athletes looking for an extra push-and provides insight into the mind of a great champion with excitement and inspiration on every page.

The Six Pillars of Calculus: Biology Edition
Author: Lorenzo Sadun
Publisher: American Mathematical Society
ISBN: 1470469960
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
The Six Pillars of Calculus: Biology Edition is a conceptual and practical introduction to differential and integral calculus for use in a one- or two-semester course. By boiling calculus down to six common-sense ideas, the text invites students to make calculus an integral part of how they view the world. Each pillar is introduced by tackling and solving a challenging, realistic problem. This engaging process of discovery encourages students to wrestle with the material and understand the reasoning behind the techniques they are learning—to focus on when and why to use the tools of calculus, not just on how to apply formulas. Modeling and differential equations are front and center. Solutions begin with numerical approximations; derivatives and integrals emerge naturally as refinements of those approximations. Students use and modify computer programs to reinforce their understanding of each algorithm. The Biology Edition of the Six Pillars series has been extensively field-tested at the University of Texas. It features hundreds of examples and problems specifically designed for students in the life sciences. The core ideas are introduced by modeling the spread of disease, tracking changes in the amount of $mathrm{CO}_{2}$ in the atmosphere, and optimizing blood flow in the body. Along the way, students learn about optimal drug delivery, population dynamics, chemical equilibria, and probability.

The Quantum Enzyme Code (The Woman who Discovered the Cure for AIDS)
Author: Matthew David Frango
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595393810
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 622
Book Description
This novel, part romance, part science fiction, part thriller, is the story of a famous child prodigy in mathematics and music, Dianna Utterson, who, later as a PHD student in biophysics, develops a fool-proof, anti-mutagenic vaccine against AIDS. It's also a story of a jealous medical student's obsession to steal the genetic code and Fourier analysis developed by his lover, Dianna, needed by his future pharmaceutical corporation to manufacture her wonder AIDS drug. The book's most interesting sub-plot is the Jesuit-controlled, Pythagorean secrecy surrounding her cure and its conflict with traditional Vatican theology. With clear allusions to quantum physics, and molecular biology as developed by the American James Watson, and the British Scientists Francis Crick and Rosalind Franklin, this novel is ideal for high school and college-age students, and those readers interested in the magic of bio-medical research in its quest to find cures for mankind's most elusive diseases. It's a lasting work that inspires readers to appreciate science through the uplifting experience of a disarming, beatific heroine, Dianna Utterson. --- Wayne Kappel, Ph.D, recipient of the Distinguished Teacher White House Commission on Presidential Scholars award, 1997
