Despite rapid increases in knowledge, malaria continues to kill
more than a million people each year and causes symptomatic disease
in a further 300 million individuals. This volume brings some of
the world's best investigators to describe recent advances in both
the scientific and clinical aspects of malaria, and bridges between
the two.
Education, Liberal Democracy and Populism: Arguments from Plato,
Locke, Rousseau and Mill provides a lucid and critical guide
shedding light on the continuing relevance of earlier thinkers to
the debates between populists and liberals about the nature of
education in democratic societies. The book discusses the
relationship Rousseau and Plato posited between education and
society, and contrasts their work with the development of liberal
thinking about education from John Locke, and John Stuart Mill's
arguments for the importance of education to representative
democracy. It explores some of the roots of populism and offer a
broader perspective from which to assess the questions which
populists pose and the answers which liberals offer. The book makes
a substantial contribution to the current debate about democracy,
by emphasising the central importance of education to political
thought and practice, and suggests that only an education system
based on liberal democratic principles can offer the possibility of
a genuinely free society. This book is ideal reading for
researchers and post-graduate students in education, politics,
philosophy and history. It will also be of great interest to
Educational practitioners and policy makers.

The great stoic philosopher, playwright and Roman statesman of the
first century, Lucius Annaeus Seneca, exercised enormous influence
for nearly fifteen years as tutor and political advisor to the
Emperor Nero until forced to commit suicide by his former pupil. In
the hands of Annales School historian Paul Veyne, the dramatic
story of his life - one of power, politics and intrigue - becomes a
mirror of the time in which he lived.
Seneca's philosophical writings remain our core source for stoic
thought, and their immense influence continues to be felt. Veyne's
authoritative exposition of stoicism and the interconnections
between Seneca's life and thought, make this book ideal reading for
anyone interested in Roman history and philosophy. This compact and
compelling book is a brilliant introduction to the life and
philosophy of one of the ancient world's greatest thinkers by one
of the great historians of our own time.

Judd Nelson and C. Thomas Howell star in this sci-fi drama directed
by Brian T. Jaynes. When small-town sheriff Jim Taylor (Holt Boggs)
suspects that the legend of the Sasquatch might not be a legend
after all, he teams up with Mafioso Zeke (Howell) to hunt the
creature that has baffled scientists for years. As they get closer
to the truth the pair realise that they are not just hunting one
animal but that they are up against an entire army.
A hilarious parody for anyone who's going to college, been in
college, thinking about college, or knows someone in college.
Native Americans have fought gallantly in every conflict since the
War for Independence, mostly under the stars and stripes, but some
under the stars and bars of the Confederacy. That said, the
greatest contribution of Native Americans in wartime was their use
as code talkers during World Wars I and II. This book chronicles
the experiences of these men in both wars.
Fukuyama's concept of the End of History has been one of the most
widely debated theories of international politics since the end of
the Cold War. This book discusses Fukuyama's claim that liberal
democracy alone is able to satisfy the human aspiration for freedom
and dignity, and explores the way in which his thinking is part of
a philosophical tradition which includes Kant, Hegel and Marx. Two
new chapters in this second edition discuss the ways in which
Fukuyama's thinking has developed - they include his celebrated and
controversial criticism of neoconservatism and his complex
intellectual relationship to Samuel Huntington, whose Clash of
Civilization thesis he rejects but whose notion of political decay
is central to his more recent work. The authors here argue that
Fukuyama's continuing fundamental contributions to debates
concerning the spread of democracy and threat of global terror mark
him out as one of the most important thinkers of the twenty-first
century.
The Fallacy of God, A Religious Conspiracy: No one could study the
Bible with an open mind and still believe that the scribble written
inside was ever inspired by some loving entity. The Bible is filled
with contradictions and superstitious beliefs of an angry, jealous,
man-made controlling God. Only through blind faith, the act of
unthinking, could anyone possibly believe that the immoral,
unjustified, homicidal stories of a greedy Creator were not just
fabrications and old mythological legends compiled into religious
propaganda. Religious leaders grow fat with money while they preach
of giving and not living for materialistic possessions. They are
hypocritical pretenders to what they teach. We should all blindly
follow and obey, for any one of us who doubts the existence of God
will face His wrath of eternal Hellfire? Its basic dogma, of one
true religion, breeds hatred between brothers and wars throughout
our world, and we must live in fear of the coming Battle of
Armageddon. Christianity is blasphemous to what Jesus believed, and
the Shroud of Turin is a fraudulent sham, no one was ever
resurrected from the dead. Some of the information presented in
this book is from my anti-religious series including "Empirical
Truth," and "Jesus Christ Revolutionary Mythology." If you want to
know how rapacious the Bible truly is, you will want to read this
book.
Bible Babble Bull (Second Edition) is a compilation of some of the
most controversial topics expressed in my five book series on
religion including Empirical Truth, and Bible Propaganda: there is
also a new updated chapter on the Shroud of Turin. The Bible is an
immoral book, and the act of following an immoral book by blind
faith alone is an amoral act. We should not be teaching from an old
superstitious book that which we do not really understand or know
what is written within its pages. I have included many Bible
Scriptures, including chapter and verse for you to read and or look
up in any Bible. It is unfortunate that we, humankind believed in
Biblical Mythology when the process of multi-copies became
possible, as one large book makes people believe that it must be
the truth; but the Bible is not a book about one God, most of its
stories were taken form much earlier long forgotten and debunked
past gods. Darwinism is cruel; survival of the fittest, yet with
increasing knowledge, civilizations can evolve to have an
ameliorate world; while the Bible is immoral, and by its very
nature will always be immoral.

While there are thousands of books about leadership, and while most
of them are excellent reads, there are very few - if any - that can
show you, with real reliability, how to improve your own leadership
performance. This is that rare book. We spent years researching
leaders around the world to understand why the best are the best.
Along the way, we discovered something amazing: why leaders fail.
Leaders fail not because they're bad people, or because they lack
the personality traits that make for good leadership. They fail
because they have a philosophy of leadership that sets them up to
fail. If you understand your own philosophy of leadership and make
changes where they are needed, you will improve your leadership
performance. It's that simple, and the science is right here.
The Bible is the largest book of war ever compiled; it should be
called God's Evil Word. "Bible Propaganda II" is based on how the
act of blindly following the Word of God invites charlatans to take
advantages of others who would follow them credulously down a path
of deception. Unlike the first part, "Bible Propaganda," this book
only examined scriptures in the first four chapters. The greater
part of this book "The War on Earth, from Satan's Eyes" is a sci-fi
loosely based around the Battle of Armageddon, as Michael leads
Yahweh's vast armies against any and all who would not bow down to
tyranny. A terrorist group takes over the Mosque demanding that the
Holy Temple be rebuilt: they are in control of seven nuclear bombs.
This escalates into WWIII, which then turns into the Battle of
Armageddon. The bottom-line is that in presenting this fictional
story from a different point of view, we can clearly see how
ridiculous the religious belief in blind faith, called
Bible-Babble-Bull, truly is. Bible prophecy is nothing more than
exciting Bible fantasy.
"Empirical Truth," "Pantheistic-Atheism." This book will show that
the Bible is an immoral old book that we should not be brainwashing
our children into believing, especially by blind-faith. That more
evil has come about from the Bible than good. That humanity chose
to live with ethics and morals long before we had religious
rulings. That evolution is correct, and you will not be fooled by
Intelligent Design Enforcers. You will expand your mind using
science, philosophy, history, and abstract thinking in a journey
from caveman to our modern society to free our minds from
Bible-Babble-Bull. Then you will be introduced to the positive
philosophy of "Empirical Truth." Including the healing "Powers of
Light Vibrations," which can fill the void left inside of you, as
you toss away all the fears that you lived with for so long from
the emotional and disturbing propaganda of religion.
No matter what you think or believe in life, the mythology of
Christianity revolutionized the entire world. Now, from the Author
of "Empirical Truth" and the "Power of Light Vibrations" comes a
new work called "Jesus Christ: Revolutionary Mythology." As a proud
Pantheistic-Atheist, Christians are always telling me that because
I am an Atheist I do not believe in anything, this is growing old.
I inform them that because I am a freethinker that I believe in
more things than they. In responding to their way of thinking it is
they who do not believe in anything. There is no god, and the
belief in Jesus Christ is the myth of celestial bodies and the
legend of a man who may or may not have existed. It is a shame that
the world has been placed into mayhem by the mythological sayings
of Paul, the true founder of Christianity, a megalomaniac who
fooled so many into believing that he was following the teachings
of Jesus Christ. Was there a connection between Jesus' Birthday and
9/11? This book is about finding out the truth. Who was Jesus
Christ? Many Christian's faith may be dismayed by the answers.
From the Author of the "Power of Light Vibrations" and "Empirical
Truth, Pantheistic-Atheism" comes "Bible Propaganda: The War in
Heaven from Satan's Eyes." You will learn how the Bible is a book
of misinformation, and that God is a rapacious and avarice slave
master, the "Bully of the Bible." This book was compiled from Bible
Scripture, and the philosophy of "Empirical Truth" including an
intriguing original, abstract fictional scenerio of the "War in
Heaven" as told in part from Lucifer's point of view with a twist
on how it was Satan, and not God who gave humankind freewill. And
so God became enraged with insane jealousy punishing all who did
not bow down to Him. This is what begot the "War in Heaven," with
Satan and His Angels fighting a losing battle in defending our
right to have freedom. I do not believe in Devils or Angels, this
is another account of what I have coined "Bible-Babble-Bull."
The "Power of Light Vibrations," years ago I was crippled in an
accident; doctors told me that I would never walk. This book is the
result of the research that helped me to overcome the odds and walk
again. It is a new way to improve your health and situation using
the positive energy that surrounds us. Similar books like this are
missing a critical part; understanding and using the energy
obtained in "Light Vibrations" is the essential key in making it
work. It includes several charts, and sections on the "Law of
Attraction," "Positive Thinking," "Words of Power," "Six Secrets of
Success," "Seven Steps of Reality," and the "Eight Steps to Healthy
and Motivational Living," including several other psychological
teachings from my studies and collective works found in the
philosophy of "Empirical Truth."
This is an introduction to the new innovation of secular religion
called "Pantheistic-Atheism." It is a way for us to live moral and
ethical lives without a biblical God. A philosophy that all people
can use to live together to make an ameliorated new world. We
should not be trying to destroy ourselves in fulfilling some old
superstitious biblical prophecy full of hatred and wars. Although
this book includes a chapter on "Bible Propaganda," and additional
information on why religion is fraudulent portraying God as the
"Bully of the Bible." It is mainly about living successful positive
lives. Therefore, it does not include sections on the superstitious
immoral atrocities of the Bible, nor its true origin, the fact of
Evolution versus Intelligent Design Enforcers, and many other
subjects of "Bible-Babble-Bull" that are included in his
anti-religious book called "Empirical Truth."
