“I sought clarity.” So begins The Edge, which documents the parallel journeys of a martial arts master and his student. It is a record of the insights Ray Fisher has gleaned during his more than thirty years of intensive practice--insights into matters both practical and spiritual--and a bold conceptualization of the martial arts as a way of life. Alongside this, The Edge tells the story of co-author Robert Lurie's slow and sometimes painful transition, under Fisher's tutelage, from being “a man forever seated, bathed in the flickering glow of a monitor” into a more fully integrated human being: someone in whom the physical (which had always been given short shrift) could now take its place alongside, and perhaps even rein in, the cerebral. The Edge is not just a book for martial artists. Rather, it is a book for anyone who has ever felt the stirring of a desire for self-transformation.

Many text books have been written on the subject "Exploration Geophysics". The majority of these texts focus on the theory and the mathematical treatment of the subject matter but lack treatment of practical aspects of geophysical exploration. This text is written in simple English to explain the physical meaning of jargon, or terms used in the industry. It describes how seismic data is acquired in 2-D and 3-D, how they are processed to convert the raw data to seismic vertical and horizontal cross sections, that are geologically meaningful, and how these and other data are interpreted to delineate a prospect. Workshops are included after each chapter and are designed to reinforce learning of the concepts presented. Key Features: Written in simple easy to understand language Heavily illustrated to aid in understanding the text End of chapter "Key words and workshop" The text includes several appendices and answers for the selected workshop problems
