"No Such Thing as Terminal: The Re-Discovery of the Lost Secret
German Cure for Cancer and The Fountain of Youth. " Genetic
Engineering is not just a futuristic fantasy which is often how
Hollywood portrays it to be. Rather it exists in the here and the
now and has been in existence with a technical theory that has been
giving positive results since the 1930's. These innovations have
however been secretly suppressed for a multitude of reasons not the
least of which is political power. Now in this book is discussed
one person's accidental hit on the secret cure for cancer using
genetic engineering. A cure which has existed since the 1930's and
has repeatedly been tried both in vivo and in vitro. Herein is
explored one person's speculations, scientific discoveries, and
evidence of both the credibility of the medicine and the conspiracy
of the cover-up. DNA was not first discovered by Crick and Watson
nor were they really the first to describe its structure. This was
done long before them with the advent of the invention of Quantum
Mechanics which began in earnest in 1926 with the work of
Schrodinger and earlier with the work of Von Laue in
crystallography.
Solitary Thoughts is a collection of passages meant to impart a
narrative of the author's struggles to cope in a society that is
too preoccupied with commercial self-interest. Values such as
efficiency and expedience rise to the fore in a culture polarized
between production and consumption. People are stereotyped and
assaulted with expectations that threaten their ability to live.
The author attempts to offer a glimpse of what life becomes, having
been pushed to the periphery of what is acceptable.
Montessori: Living the Good Life will surprise you more than you
can imagine. With a master's degree in theology, author Connie
Ripley Lujan delves deep into Maria's spiritual understanding of
the roots of war. Passionately she explains how we can make a
difference.
Maria Montessori discovered the secret miracle of childhood over
one hundred years ago. Her vision of peace lives on in this
passionate memoir of a disciple of her spirit.
Maria's enlightened revelation of the newborn's talent to
construct his future life with his own mind is illuminated step by
step as each chapter probes deeper into mankind's existence.
The key to assisting the new ones, Maria tells us, lies in the
adult's willingness to collaborate with the child's desire for an
appropriate environment. Education, for the child and the adult, is
the crucial element.
A thoughtful guide for mothers, fathers, grandparents, and all
educators and citizens concerned for peace in the home, schools,
and world, Montessori-Living the Good Life, about the child in your
arms and the child in your heart, is for everyone.
The author goes where no one dares to go, explicating Maria's
concepts of the origins of war and peace and how we can make a
difference.
The greatest need of professing Christians today is a better,
deeper, and fuller knowledge of Christ. The Christian life can be
described as getting to know God better every day. Every Christian
should regularly?daily?read the Word of God. We should find time
for quiet time or personal devotion. For over 20 years I have been
using commentaries in my devotions. The blessings derived from the
commentaries is overwhelming. I am writing this commentary to share
some of those blessings and lessons I have learned over the years.
This is a guide, in theory and in practice, to how current
technological changes have impacted our interaction with texts and
with each other. Henry Sussman rereads pivotal moments in literary,
philosophical and cultural modernity as anticipating the cybernetic
discourse that has increasingly defined theory since the computer
revolution. Cognitive science, psychoanalysis and systems theory
are paralleled to current trends in literary and philosophical
theory. Chapters alternate between theory and readings of literary
texts, resulting in a broad but rigorously grounded framework for
the relation between literature and computer science. This book is
a refreshing perspective on the analog-orientated tradition of
theory in the humanities - and offers the first literary-textual
genealogy of the digital.

Does it not seem strange that these patrons of truth have no actual
base for the truth they espouse? Should not these champions of
reason offer some plausible foundation for the rational thought
they employ? Who can but doubt these adversaries of God who cannot
even account for the moral sense by which they denounce Him? What
shall we say of masters of science who would deprive science of the
undergirding of truth and reason?
These are not lords of their own domain, as they might suppose.
They are squatters on a land belonging to another--mere pretenders,
plagiarizers of values not their own. Like the Prodigal Son, they
have taken the resources bequeathed by a loving Father and
squandered them in futile meanderings.
No one should take these men as seriously as they take
themselves. They are not reaching for the far horizon line. Rather
they are trapped in their tiny, cramped valley called physicality
and have chosen to ignore every other doorway to reality.
They are not men reaching for the stars. They are rather like
those who wade through muck and mire, stirring up more as they
go.
Every expert in journalism and politics has jumped into the arena
of thought with a multitude of books on their opinions The Book
FOCUS' is a look at Arrogance and Greed as an American cancer, it
applies analytical engineering skills to humanities problems in
today's world from an engineer's stand point, that of an everyday
citizen; a Joe plumber', whose had all we can take of being told we
are un-American by our politicians, it intends to speak out on
behalf of the everyday citizen who may have serious doubts as to
what is what. It offers solutions which seem to be logical and
somewhat easy to see. Though easy to see they require a major
rethinking of the constitution to fit the modern society's
situation. Simply tired of talk show host and media moguls pointing
out the problems but shy of offering difficult solutions for which
they could be held accountable. Engineers or Plumbers just aren't
satisfied with finding a cause of the problem, but are about fixing
it. That sometimes requires redesign or fix, correcting design
errors. But we do eventually FIX IT. The Lawyer wants arbitration
until either a compromise or settlement occurs. Media Moguls want
to have an endless supply of Sensational Stories. Politics may be
how it sounds, Poly (many) + Ticks (blood suckers). Political (this
or that occupation) well, draw your conclusion.
John Cowper Powys could never be straightforward or orthodox but
here he sets off with a useful purpose. 'The aim of this book,' he
declares, 'is to narrow down a vague and somewhat evasive
conception, which hitherto, like ''aristocracy'' or ''liberty'',
has come to imply a number of contradictory and even paradoxical
elements, and to give it, not, of course, a purely logical form,
but a concrete, particular, recognizable form, malleable and
yielding enough and relative enough, but with a definite and quite
unambiguous temper, tone, quality, atmosphere, of its own.' The
book is in two parts: Analysis of Culture which deals with, in
separate chapters, Philosophy, Literature, Poetry, Painting and
Religion: Application of Culture which covers Happiness, Love,
Nature, The Art of Reading, Human Relations, Destiny and Obstacles
to Culture. John Cowper Powys hoped 'that the fine word ''culture''
. . . might lend itself to an easy, humane and liberal discussion -
a sort of one-man Platonic symposium - and even turn out to
contain, among its various implications, no unworthy clue to the
narrow path of the wise upon earth.' He succeeds completely, in his
own idiosyncratic way, in achieving that. 'Mr Powys is to be
congratulated on having written a book of the kind that most needs
writing and most deserves to be read . . . Here in a dozen chapters
of glowing and eloquent prose, Mr Powys describes for very reader
that citadel which is himself, and explains to him how it may be
strengthened and upheld and on what terms it is most worth
upholding. . .' Manchester Guardian
