"This is a history of CHAT (Cultural-Historical Activity Theory): where it came from, how it developed, what challenges it faces when applied to technologically mediated post-bureaucratic work, and how we might further develop it to better address those challenges"--

'Our way of sitting is for you to become yourself.'In this long-overdue book from one of the most influential spiritual teachers of the last century, Shunryu Suzuki Roshi shares simple, warmhearted teachings on a practice that is fundamentally about becoming yourself. In his inimitable style, filled with humor and insight, Becoming Yourself speaks directly to the newest beginners while also serving as a touchstone and a continual source of inspiration for even the most experienced practitioners and Zen teachers.Becoming Yourself is based on the late Suzuki's lectures and brings to light many of his unpublished teachings. Throughout, Suzuki Roshi's voice is clear and resonates with the unmistakable power of true wisdom.

All the chemical elements that make up the universe - pictured, analysed, and explained. Every atom in the Universe belongs to one of 118 different types, and each of these builds an elemental substance. Some elements, such as copper and gold, are unreactive and have been extracted intact from Earth's crust by miners since prehistory. More elusive elements including arsenic and phosphorus were revealed by medieval alchemists. Since then, scientists and chemical engineers have isolated many more elements that were invisible, hidden, rare, or unstable. Once enough elements were revealed, scientists noticed patterns that chimed like notes on a keyboard, and arranged the elements into eight columns, according to the "law of octaves". This became the periodic table, now 118 elements strong, that partly describes and explains the nature of these fundamental substances. This book tells this story, element by element, from the lead and carbon of antiquity to the latest radioactive elements flickering briefly into existence in the lab. With beautiful, clear graphics, it looks at why each is different, showing how each type of atom leads to the unique chemistry of its element. Every element has: graphics of its atoms or chemical reactions, gorgeous images of the element in nature and in use by humans in technology or culture, and a big infographic data file including key information such as how it was created in the Universe, and where it crops up on Earth or in the human body. If you want to unlock the secrets of matter itself, open The Periodic Table.
