Cellular Automata: Theory and Experiment by Howard Gutowiz, ISBN 0262570866
Cellular automata, dynamic systems in which space and time are discrete, are yielding interesting applications in both the physical and natural sciences. The thirty four contributions in this book cover many aspects of contemporary studies on cellular automata and include reviews, research reports, and guides to recent literature and available software. Chapters cover mathematical analysis, the structure of the space of cellular automata, learning rules with specified properties: cellular automata in biology, physics, chemistry, and computation theory; and generalizations of cellular automata in neural nets, Boolean nets, and coupled map lattices.Current work on cellular automata may be viewed as revolving around two central and closely related problems: the forward problem and the inverse problem. The forward problem concerns the description of properties of given cellular automata. Properties considered include reversibility, invariants, criticality, fractal dimension, and computational power. The role of cellular automata in computation theory is seen as a particularly exciting venue for exploring parallel computers as theoretical and practical tools in mathematical physics.The inverse problem, an area of study gaining prominence particularly in the natural sciences, involves designing rules that possess specified properties or perform specified task. A long-term goal is to develop a set of techniques that can find a rule or set of rules that can reproduce quantitative observations of a physical system. Studies of the inverse problem take up the organization and structure of the set of automata, in particular the parameterization of the space of cellular automata. Optimization andlearning techniques, like the genetic algorithm and adaptive stochastic cellular automata are applied to find cellular automaton rules that model such physical phenomena as crystal growth or perform such adaptive-learning tasks as balancing an inverted pole.
First Signals: The Evolution of Multicellular Development by John Tyler Bonner, ISBN 0691070385
The enormous recent success of molecular developmental biology has yielded a vast amount of new information on the details of development. So much so that we risk losing sight of the underlying principles that apply to all development. To cut through this thicket, John Tyler Bonner ponders a moment in evolution when development was at its most basic--the moment when signaling between cells began. Although multicellularity arose numerous times, most of those events happened many millions of years...

Quilting
Mary Jo Hiney, the prolific and popular author of such books as "Quiltagami" and "Sewing for the First Time(R)," creates a brilliantly creative collection for the quilter on the go. All these projects are perfect to take and do anywhere, and they transform traditional styles with contemporary touches such as beading, embroidery, and strong graphics. Use the yoyo technique to create a silk case ideal for a cell phone. Make a small handbag with a rope handle out of needle-turn and freezer paper applique....

Our Lady of the Flowers by Jean Genet, ISBN 0802130135
'Our Lady of the Flowers', which is often considered to be Genet's masterpiece, was written entirely in the solitude of a prison cell. the exceptional value of the work lies in its ambiguity.

Thoughts by Tionne Watkins, ISBN 0061051837
When TLC was between albums, I had no way to release my creativity.One night, feeling put-out by my boyfriend and wondering about how much women had to go through to make a relationship work, I sat down and started writing poems. "Unpretty" was the first. Up until then, I hadn't realized how badly I needed to release what I was feeling inside. They were my thoughts from the heart, and my art.
The poems cover a whole range of topics: Love, relationships, heartbreak, body image, family, society,...
