    There are many fundamental issues, whether scientific, cultural, religious, and even philosophical, that we accept as fact or truth, simply because our peers have done so. Our peers have been wrong before. For two thousand years Euclidean geometry and geo-centricity was the absolute truth in scientific and religious communities. Law of some of these issues concern the origins of our domain. Origin of the universe, origin of life on earth, origin of Homo-sapiens, origin of what we categorize as civilization and origin of religion, particularly monotheistic religions. This book has endeavored to investigate these five very fundamental issues, in simple and non-scientific language as far as conceivable. To most people, these subject matters have very little or no consequence in their daily lives, and for this reason they are not explored, nor merit any time contemplating. But they are so innate and engrained in our subconscious that most people must have pondered, reflected, or discussed one or more of these issues at least a few times in their lifetime. The remarkable fact is that despite their vital and elemental relevance, people simply accept and consent to what the authorities propagate. That maybe the most convenient approach, but none of the mainline theories, regardless of where they came from, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, The Pope, Carl Sagan, Steven Hawking or any other scientists, philosophers or religious authorities are simply theories, not proven and thus still mysteries worth investigating. The book does not try to find answers. It simply investigates the flaws, inadequacies, and weaknesses in some of these theories and where possible, to explore other alternatives and options. The only purpose, and indeed hope in writing this book is to create a fertile domain in the mind of the readers, to ask question, albeit "The Right" questions. "Where there is consciousness, there is doubt."

  • - Volume 1
    av Tom Kissack
    278,-

    Jonathan's Tales, Volume 1, is a compilation of 11 magical bedtime stories told verbally to my then 6-year-old son. They are enhanced written transpositions from the audio versions captured on my android phone numbering nearly 100 recorded stories. A list of additional stories is at the end of this book. The Tales, came to life after my son's bedtime toilette, and he, snuggled in bed, arbitrarily drew from his head a binary subject and allowed me several minutes to ponder a story. These Tales located firmly in the magical realism genre were told with three principal aims. Firstly, entertainment. Secondly, erudition to increase knowledge on specific items of facts, or to whet my son's appetite to seek out more information (the notations referenced at the end of the book for each Tale act as a starting aid). Finally, didactic, a way of subtly introducing a broader morality into my son's world on an array of subjects including, but not exclusively, the power of love and friendship, of kindness and honesty and the importance of inclusivity recognising we are all, as individuals, very different.

  • - a collection of poetry
     
    187,-

    This collection of poetry deals primarily with a sense of 'positive space' in our lives, and how we come to re-acquaint ourselves with the 'here and the now', despite the clear challenges and the obstacles behind us and the unforeseen ones ahead of us. The poems try to refl ect on the inner potential of every human being - the potential to re-prioritise, to re-focus and to re-new, so as to deepen and to know our creative and most dedicated side. The author draws from personal experience, from various Biblical sources and from the writings of thirteenth century Christian mystic, Meister Eckhart, to convey his appreciation and understanding of the German term leere, and its relevance to people of all ages and backgrounds today.

    Jessica had only recently come to England from the south of France where she had been living with her grandfather, Brigadier Sir Frank Jarvis, since November 1946, so that her mother, Marie Thérèse Craven could go out to work. Her daughter was more of an inconvenience to her than a beloved child. She was very aware of the strong bond that existed between Jessica and her father, the Brigadier, and was glad of it. It meant that the child could be left in his care and out of her way.

    In the 1800s Mongoloid children were thought to be idiots. They were generally taken away at birth and put into institutions. They were neglected, sometimes starved and often died before the age of 20. Those who did live spent their whole lives and institutions. Since the mid-1970s these children are now called Down's Syndrome children.

  • - Fire and Hail, Snow and Clouds, Stormy Winds, Fulfilling His Word (Psalms 148:8)
    av Cassandra Hall
    187 - 342,-

    Stormy Winds was birthed by the Holy Spirit out of a challenging and difficult time, not only in my life but also in the nations of the world. Many, including myself, are yet to recover from these challenges. However, God, through His word as written in this book, has reassured us that despite it all, despite the long nights and dark seasons, and despite the personal changes and challenges, we, His people, need not fear-His word and promises will be fulfilled in our lives. Beyond stormy winds lies purpose. Nothing is more important than to learn how to maintain a life of purpose in the midst of painful adversity. Every sentence of this book is pregnant with wisdom, and I enjoyed the mind-expanding experience of this exciting book. I admonish you to plunge into this ocean of knowledge and watch your storms turn into blessings by God. (Bishop Victoria Beecham)

    Considering the concept of parallel universes originating and structured from the Main Universe, even on an intellectual basis, it can be calculated at least how many parallel universes there are. It can be accepted that the same living and non-living things live at a different time in each parallel universe. In this case, if a living creature is considered to live for a maximum of 150 years, in line with today's knowledge and conditions, and if the difference between different time periods is considered to be 1 second, the following result can be obtained. (150 x 365 x 24 x 60 x 60) The result of this process shows how many seconds 150 years are. In this case, it can be calculated that there are at least 4,730,400,000 parallel universes. In addition, with a calculation, it can be determined when the parallel universes will be completely free of living things or when the living things will die, and this can give an idea about when the apocalypse will occur. For this, the following information is required: the number of all living things should not increase, but should stop and go backwards, that is, enter into a process of decrease. For example, if the rate of increase in living beings is 0% after (m) years and the number of living beings at that moment (human, animal, plant, etc.) is accepted as (n) and one living creature among these living beings lives for a maximum of (k) years, then the intellectual Basically, we can say that the apocalypse may happen in the year (2024 + m + n + 2k). (On an A.D. basis.) This calculation also includes the possibility of teleportation and time travel applications at the scientific and technological level (m) years from now and the possibility of going back and forward in time (n) years.

    Maps are great, if shy, historians; their borders tell stories. Tales about the land, tales about people who drew them. They have lasting consequences. This book explores some of those borders with the most to tell us. History, biography and politics all play a part. Some of the oddest frontiers and some of the most painful consequences are examined, from Palestine to The Punjab, by way of Ireland, The Caucasus, The Balkans and Africa. Not all stories are peaceful, and the too-forgotten fights of the Opium Wars and Kurdistan are examined, along with the people who made the decisions. This book is for anyone who has spent a happy hour reading a map, and wondering just how and why some of those lines got to be where they are - mostly boundaries, but also other oddities and curiosities, and for anyone perplexed by a news story from an exotic land, far away in place or time. Copiously illustrated with maps and pictures, it is illuminating, enjoyable and, hopefully, disturbing.
