Introduction
In 1976, a young Oxford biologist published a book called The Selfish Gene. To Richard Dawkins’ own surprise and sometimes alarm, it became widely discussed, often misunderstood, and highly influential. The Selfish Gene is now well established as a classic exposition of evolutionary ideas for academic and lay readers alike. Its author, propelled to fame, went on to display the range and depth of his analytical skills and literary abilities in a string of best-sellers: The Extended Phenotype (intended primarily for fellow biologists), The Blind Watchmaker, River Out of Eden, Climbing Mount Improbable, Unweaving the Rainbow, and The Ancestor’s Tale. A collection of his essays was published as A Devil’s Chaplain. Increasingly involved in public debate on science and rationalism, Dawkins has become a familiar figure in the media, and a leading champion of atheism. To find professional scientists with a similar public profile on non-scientific issues, one has to return to the days of J. B. S. Haldane and before him T. H. Huxley in the UK, and perhaps Einstein in the USA. In 1995, Dr Charles Simonyi endowed a chair for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University that enabled Dawkins, as the first holder, to concentrate on his writing. This collection of essays considers the range of Dawkins’ influence as scientist, writer, and public figure. Inevitably, though, his seminal work, The Selfish Gene, takes pride of place among his achievements and thus forms the primary focus of this volume. The Selfish Gene reached so many audiences that one person is unlikely to know of them all. The essays of the first few sections illustrate the range of the book’s influence, with distinguished authors from many fields explaining how its ideas have affected them personally and professionally.

Introduction
Most traditional histories of fairy tales begin with an unlettered country folk that invents fairy tales and then passes them along by word of mouth from generation to generation. Somewhat less frequently, fairy tales have been presented as disintegrations of ancient myth, as the remains of paleolithic beliefs, as fictionalized remnants of elementary planetary observations, or as evidence of universal archetypes. Such explanations have resulted in a sense that fairy tales’ origins are elusive, a sense of elusiveness that has shaped grand narratives of the genre as well as references to fairy tales in books about history, literature (including children’s literature), psychology, and folklore. It has been said so often that the folk invented and disseminated fairy tales that this assumption has become an unquestioned proposition. It may therefore surprise readers that folk invention and transmission of fairy tales has no basis in verifiable fact. Literary analysis undermines it, literary history rejects it,
social history repudiates it, and publishing history (whether of manuscripts or of books) contradicts it.

Introduction
The boundless energy of youth often must give way to the laws of physics. All too often I’ve seen bright ideas flounder for a lack of fundamental knowledge. If this book can foster the development of the art, if it can encourage and educate the robotic community, if it can provide the missing ingredients—the secret sauce—then I did my job right. If you have a sense that a robot is more than wires and wheels, then this book is for you. Math rules physics, and physics rules robots. This book sheds light on the math and physics behind a robot design, and does so in an accessible way. The text was written for all ages, from high school through college and beyond. The math used in the book includes algebra, calculus, and differential equations. For readers unacquainted with these subjects, I made sure the text “returns to Earth” often. Nobody should be left behind. The laws of physics and math are evident in everyday life, and several examples are given in this book. Throughout the history of science and technology, the path to great discoveries has almost always started with the observation of simple events. Newton’s apple, Einstein’s empty room in space, and Shannon’s word games are clear examples. Proceeding from an intuitive, personal understanding of the basic laws of physics and math, you can take your understanding further. Using this knowledge, you can predict the behavior of your robot in advance. As problems crop up, you’ll have the basic knowledge to move effectively toward solutions. Throughout the book, I’ve also thrown in experience gained from 32 years of engineering design. I can’t be there when you build your robot, but I can put tools in your belt and pass on such wisdom as we both can sit still for. Originally, I started this project for the fame, fortune, and groupies. As the chapters rolled out, I got my true rewards. I relearned the basic technologies to better explain them. I dug into the larger questions lurking behind the equations and technology. And as the book developed, I found an outlet f r other thoughts I’ve had for quite some time. I hope my philosophical asides prove entertaining.

Introduction
The idea of writing this book arose from frequent encounters with cardiologists in training and intensivist colleagues who highlighted the contribution of echocardiographic studies to the evaluation of difficult cases. In this, our experience only mirrored the growing role of echocardiography in the immediate management of hemodynamically unstable or acutely ill patients, as increasingly acknowledged in the literature.1–3
Echocardiography is the most versatile cardiac imaging technology readily available today at the patient’s bedside. Its superb diagnostic input relates to the ability to identify any hemodynamic condition and cardiac pathology that implies a morphologic and/ or a flow pattern change. Impressive technological advances over the last half century (Table I.1) and the advent of small, portable, and yet powerful echocardiographic machines pushed this technique in the frontline of diagnostic strategies when dealing with critically ill patients. Indeed, we are witnessing a change of medical practice, whereby, the management of hemodynamically unstable patients relies less on invasive data and increasingly more on the noninvasive assessment immediately obtainable with echocardiography.
It is the aim of this book to be a step-by-step, how- and whatto- do, easy to use guide for the benefit of cardiology and intensive care doctors and sonographers faced with critically ill patients for whom major therapeutic decisions could depend on the information provided by a timely and accurate echocardiographic examination. It tries to address what was perceived to be the practical needs of cardiology trainees and of intensivists faced with the increased use of echocardiography in an acute care setting. Because of the intended dual audience of this book, both pure “cardiological” topics such as aortic pathology, valvular emergencies, mechanical complications of myocardial infarction, or tamponade and more “intensive care” or “mixed” situations such as pulmonary embolism, resuscitation, sepsis, and the need for filling status assessment are covered.

Introduction
What if you could get, for free, a miracle substance to alleviate symptoms of pain, depression, chronic fatigue, attention deficit disorder, stress, hypertension, back pain, peptic ulcer disease, migraines, arthritis pain, colitis, chronic constipation, kidney stones, heartburn, high cholesterol, morning sickness, and obesity? You can. This wonder elixir is something we often overlook, yet it is available in unlimited quantities in almost every household.
It is almost too simple to believe that even the water we get from our taps has the power to reduce and eliminate severe medical conditions. Yet in the next few pages you will see how water should be the treatment of choice for pain, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases. Instead of reaching for more drugs, that are increasingly expensive and often have negative side effects, we should drink more water instead. The water you use to treat your ailments doesn't have to be spring water or distilled; purified water from your household tap will do just as well.

Introduction
The seeming simplicity of our daily activities is greatly contrasted by the complexity of our true nature—quite a paradox, no doubt. It is simple in that, on the outside, the goals of our body may appear few. We internalize food, water, and oxygen while at the same time ridding ourselves of carbon dioxide and other waste materials. These operations support reproduction, growth, maintenance, and defense. Yet on the inside our body may seem very complex as various organs participate in a tremendous number of complicated processes intended to meet the simple goals previously mentioned. Nutrition is just one part of this paradoxical relationship. The objective of nutrition is simple: to supply our body with all of the necessary nutrients, and in appropriate quantities, to promote optimal health and function. However, in practice, nutrition is far from that simple. There seem to be too many nutrients, controversial nutrients, and different conditions, such as growth, pregnancy, and exercise, to allow nutrition to be a simple topic. Although we have long appreciated food, it has only been in the more recent years that we have really begun to understand the finer relationship between food and our body. Most nutrients have been identified within the last century or so and right now nutrition is one of the most prevalent areas of scientific research. This is to say that our understanding of nutrition is by no means complete. It continues to evolve in conjunction with the most current nutrition research. It seems that not a week goes by without hearing about yet another discovery in nutrition. It is hard to believe that just a few decades ago the basic four food groups were pretty much all the nutrition known by most people. Today nutrition deeply penetrates into many aspects of our lives, including preventative and treatment medicine, philosophy, exercise training, and weight management. Our diet has been linked to cardiovascular health, cancer, bowel function, moods, and brain activity, along with many other health domains. We no longer eat merely to satisfy hunger. Without doubt, nutrition has become a matter of great curiosity and/or concern for most of us today.

Introduction
Positive Attitude: What Is It?
What does having a positive attitude then really boil down to, our thoughts, actions, patterns, habits, and behavior have us using, targeting and utilizing our energy and enthusiasm in a particular way. We think, act and do…If you are mainly positive, you will be focused on good things, happy thoughts, and successful outcomes, seeing the glass half-full to an extent. Negatively, you will be focusing on bad things, sad thoughts, unsuccessful outcomes and act and behave negatively too. Your goals and energy will not be focused and purposefully driven towards success, half-hearted at best. There is an undeniable link between personal performance, confidence and even health and our positive thoughts. Matching, triggering neuro-chemical and physical responses, increased mental alertness and release of physical energy, improved respiration and circulation, boosts our abilities. The reverse is true, triggering the fight or flight response and instinct when we are decisively negative. Which can lead to loss of
energy, creativity, motivation and lower selfesteem. You can effectively turn this habit of positive thinking into a power tool boosting not only your life, success and future, but also your health and wellbeing. There are numerous self-help books, products and even training courses that you can take to learn more about endorphins for example and how positive thoughts and can and motivate your day, towards more positive outcomes.

Introduction
In selecting material for this collection I have done my best to find puzzles that are unusual and entertaining, that call for only the most elementary knowledge of mathematics, but at the same time provide stimulating glimpses into higher levels of mathematical thinking. The puzzles (many of which appeared in my column "On the Light Side" that ran in Science World) have been grouped into sections, each dealing with a different area of mathematics. Brief comments at the beginning of each section suggest something of the nature and importance of the kind of mathematics one must use in tackling the puzzles of that section. In the answers, I have tried to go into as much detail as space permits in explaining how each problem is solved, and pointing out some of the inviting paths that wind away from the problems into lusher areas of the mathematical jungle. Perhaps in playing with these puzzles you will discover that mathematics is more delightful than you expected. Perhaps this will make you want to study the
subject in earnest, or less hesitant about taking up the study of a science for which a knowledge of advanced mathematics will eventually be required.
Surely no one today can doubt the enormous practical value of mathematics. Without its use as a tool, the discoveries and achievements of modem science would have been impossible. But many people do not realize that mathematicians actually enjoy mathematics. Take my word for it, there is as much satisfaction in knocking over an interesting problem with a well-aimed thought as there is in knocking over ten wooden pins with a well-aimed bowling ball. In one of L. Frank Baum's funniest fantasies, The Emerald City of Oz, Dorothy (together with the Wizard and her uncle and aunt) visit the city of Fuddlecumjig in the Quadling section of Oz. Its remarkable inhabitants, the Fuddles, are made of pieces of painted wood cleverly fitted together like three-dimensional jigsaw puzzles. As soon as an outsider approaches they scatter in a heap of disconnected pieces on the Hoor so that the visitor will have the pleasure of putting them together again. As Dorothy's party leaves the city, Aunt Em remarks:
"Those are certainly strange people, but I really can't see what use they are, at all." "Why, they amused us for several hours," replies the Wizard. "That is being of use to us, I'm sure." "I think they're more fun than playing solitaire or mumbletypeg," Uncle Henry adds. "For my part, I'm glad we visited the Fuddles."

A bad book review propels this farcical thriller from bestseller Koontz. Bestselling author Cullen "Cubby" Greenwich is mortified when Shearman Waxx, "the nation's premier literary critic," savages his work. Cubby manages to find the "syphilitic swine" at Roxie's Bistro in Newport Beach, Calif., where the author's six-year-old prodigy son nearly pees by accident on Waxx in the restaurant's men's room. In retaliation, Waxx threatens Cubby with doom and gets things started nicely by blowing up his house. With almost superhuman ease, the book critic keeps track of Cubby and his family as they flee for their lives.
