Exolition, which follows on from the first volume of Beyond Our World, is a more personal account, recounting a series of experiences that the author lived and is sharing. From journeys in spirit to higher dimensions, to earthly journeys with enriching encounters, abductions, secret space program missions . . . and that "improbable" reunion with a Frenchman he knew during his twenty years of service . . . All of this will lead David to reenter Exolition. But what is Exolition? It's a new concept, a highly spiritual teaching passed on by Ezahyel and Black Eagle. It sets in motion all the beliefs on Earth, old and new. But the culmination will undoubtedly be unconditional love. The universal love that will lead us all (eventually) to this new world that is coming, including our reintegration into the great galactic community. So hang on tight, because if the first volume didn't rock your world, this one will really shake you up

"I am a stellar soul from the Great Central Sun experiencing earth through this human avatar. I quickly remembered that I was not from this world. From the age of six to forty-six, very few knew of my experience (except for those close to me). It all began one evening in the summer of 1981, when I was playing outside. I saw a bluish-white light come down from the sky and position itself right above me. It just stood there, motionless. The moment seemed to last forever. When the object had gone back to the vertical and at an incredible speed, I found myself in front of a being, which was obviously not terrestrial: humanoid in shape, bluish skin with slight silver highlights, large green eyes and long, deep black hair... It was Ezahyel, my brother from the Pleiades. He would come back to see me so that I would not forget who I was and where I came from. Forty years later, my first book was published: Au-Del De Notre Monde, in which I relate my personal, spiritual, universal and galactic experiences."

This book features five peer-reviewed reviews on the different applications of phenotyping techniques across agriculture. The first chapter outlines how plant phenotyping has developed over recent decades, driven by factors such as advances in optical sensors, image analysis and automation as well as multidisciplinary cooperation in establishing facilities for high-throughput plant phenotyping. The second chapter reviews the importance of phenotyping in plant breeding programmes and considers the role of phenomics in boosting the genetic gain in grain yields. Using high-throughput phenotyping techniques as a cost-efficient method for phenotypic data acquisition is also discussed. The third chapter examines recent advances in phenotyping to identify drought-resistance traits in cereal roots. It also reviews current root phenotyping strategies and challenges. The fourth chapter considers the application of phenotyping techniques based on existing plant cohort research in plant factories with artificial lighting (PFALs). The chapter also explores the possibility of plant phenotype-based environmental control in PFALs. The final chapter provides an overview of the imaging techniques used in seed phenotyping, focussing primarily on the recent advances in X-ray imaging and the main parameters required to produce optimal image data.

Ludwig von Bertalanffy's theory of laws is applicable to virtually every scientific field. This conceptual approach has had a profound impact on biology, economics, psychology, and demography, with new relevancies today. Gathered here are Ludwig von Bertalanffy's writings on general system theory, selected and edited to show the evolution of systems theory and to present its applications to problem-solving. The new foreword by University of Vienna system theory professor, Wolfgang Hofkirchner, and Centre for Systems Philosophy director, David Rousseau, discusses the theory s contemporary applications.

This book expands the foundations of general systems theory to enable progress beyond the rich heuristic practices available today. It establishes a foundational framework for the development of scientific transdisciplinary systems principles and shows how these can amplify the potential of individuals and teams working in multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary contexts or striving to translate their progress across disciplinary boundaries. Three general scientific systems principles are presented, and their relevance to the design, analysis, management and transformation of systems is explored. Applying lessons from the history and philosophy science, this book disambiguates key concepts of general systemology, clarifies the role of general systemology within the field of systemology, and explains how general systemology supports other forms of transdisciplinarity. These insights are used to develop new perspectives, strategies and tools for addressing long-standing challenges to the advancement and transdisciplinary application of general insights into the nature of complex systems. The material presented in this book includes comprehensive models of the structure of systemology as a disciplinary field, the structure and significance of the general systems worldview, and the role of general systemology as the heart of systems science, systems engineering and systems practice. It explains what a fully-fledged general theory of systems would look like, what its potential is, what routes are available to us to develop it further, and how to leverage the knowledge we have attained so far. Many examples and analogies show how general systemology has the potential to enable scientific discovery, insightful theory building, and practical innovation in all the disciplines as they study, design, nurture or transform complex systems. This book is essential reading for anyone wishing to master the concepts, terminology, models and strategies needed to make effective use of current general systems knowledge and to engage in the further development of the philosophy, science, and practice of general systemology.
