Sharing experiences of 15 inmates and their battle for care, the
author uncovers the truth about capital punishment and what goes on
in our prison system. As an experienced physician, Paul Singh, MD,
DO, Ph.D., was stunned by the cruelty that inmates with physical
and mental conditions endured. Denials for treatment, gross
incompetence, deadly neglect, reckless infliction of pain and
falsified medical records, produced life-threatening conditions,
emotional deterioration, loss of limbs, and even death. His expos
reveals the shocking truth about the violations of fundamental
Constitutional rights in our prison system, so egregious one might
think the prisons were in countries with barbaric dictators where
basic human rights do not exist.
Introduction to Food Engineering, Sixth Edition brings a much more
in-depth and didactic presentation of classic food
engineering topics, such as the relationship of engineering to the
chemistry, microbiology, nutrition and processing of foods.Â
The book brings more quantitative analyses and problem-solving
content, adding more descriptive topics at the end of each chapter
to facilitate teaching and student comprehension. Topics cover
engineering fundamentals, principles of food processing and
preservation operations, solids handling, microbial bioreactions,
inactivation and inhibition of microorganisms, and a brief
Introduction to economic considerations and regulations. This
approach facilitates comprehensive learning that has proven
valuable beyond the classroom as a lifetime professional reference.
Kismet takes a scientific look at the brain itself, presenting
research that supports the naturalistic stance that the mind is
identical to the brain. And if mind is identical to the brain, says
Singh, then we are all robots whose destinies are predetermined.
Singh argues that if we take seriously the idea that the mind is
the brain then it follows logically that free will must be an
illusion, that there can be no consciousness independent of the
brain, and that there can be no substantial self that exists
independently from the brain. He further argues that there can be
no such thing as absolute moral responsibility.
When Paul Singh left India to flee a land filled with corruption,
he chose America to make his home, a country he admired for its
freedom and justice. Decades after his arrival, his idealistic
vision of our nation died while being targeted and framed by the
very government he trusted. Assured by the FDA that the most widely
used IUD in Europe was approved for use here, he continued using it
for two years while the FDA and DOJ tracked his every move to build
a case against him for using the device. Singh knew nothing about
this until a team of armed agents raided his office and expelled
undressed female patients from their exam rooms. The FDA then
fabricated documents, destroyed and suppressed evidence,
intimidated witnesses, and coerced him into signing a plea deal by
threatening to imprison his wife, as well, giving him two hours to
sign it...or else. Singh has since learned how widespread
corruption in our criminal justice system is, with prosecutors who
will lie and incarcerate innocent citizens without due process, to
further their careers. Singh cites various statutes, case laws and
books by top-level insiders to prove how laws were broken by
corrupt prosecutors. He shows how our vision of America based on
ideals of our founding fathers, and the reality of American
justice, are no longer aligned. Guilty at Gunpoint with this
companion Guide, The Death of the Rule of Law should be required
reading for every law student and anyone interested in the way
justice is administered in the United States. Paul Singh is an
American research-scientist, a biochemist, a surgeon-physician and
professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology. He is the author of
critically acclaimed works of investigation in areas of science,
philosophy, politics and medicine. His recent books include,
Discovering Our World, The Great Illusion, The Seduction of
Religion, The Death of the Rule of Law, Prison Torture in America
and Prison Papers.
Food Storage Stability addresses one of the foremost problems faced by food processors - how to stabilize food once it is harvested. Using a holistic approach, the book discusses the changes responsible for food quality deterioration and considers strategies for minimizing or eliminating these degradative changes. Topics include: consumer perceptions and preferences, cellular changes, conversion of major constituents to more stable products, the effect of color and texture, packaging issues, and practical strategies for storing foods frozen, chilled, or at ambient temperature. Food Storage Stability is the only treatment of this subject that covers the diverse factors that influence quality retention in foods and integrates basic concepts in storage stability with practical applications. Food scientists and technologists concerned with changes in food quality are interested in ensuring that safe and appealing food products reach consumers - this is the book that will assist them with that important goal.
Written from the expertise of an agricultural engineering
background, this exciting new book presents the most useful
numerical methods and their complete program listings.
Food engineering has become increasingly important in the food industry over the years, as food engineers play a key role in developing new food products and improved manufacturing processes. While other textbooks have covered some aspects of this emerging field, this is the first applications-oriented handbook to cover food engineering processes and manufacturing techniques.
A major portion of Handbook of Food Engineering Practice is devoted to defining and explaining essential food operations such as pumping systems, food preservation, and sterilization, as well as freezing and drying. Membranes and evaporator systems and packaging materials and their properties are examined as well. The handbook provides information on how to design accelerated storage studies and determine the temperature tolerance of foods, both of which are important in predicting shelf life. The book also examines the importance of physical and rheological properties of foods, with a special look at the rheology of dough and the design of processing systems for the manufacture of dough.
The final third of the book provides useful supporting material that applies to all of the previously discussed unit operations, including cost/profit analysis methods, simulation procedures, sanitary guidelines, and process controller design. The book also includes a survey of food chemistry, a critical area of science for food engineers.

In Prison Torture in America, Paul Singh MD, DO, PhD, shared the
experiences of 15 inmates and their battle for medical care. Prison
Papers, a companion book, provides medical and administrative
records, inmate correspondence and legal documents as proof of
those testimonies and shocking tales. As an experienced physician,
Singh was stunned by the cruelty that inmates with physical and
mental conditions endured. Denials for treatment, gross
incompetence, deadly neglect, reckless infliction of pain and
falsified medical records -- despite intervention from the courts
-- produced life-threatening conditions, emotional deterioration,

Cereals, legumes, oilseeds, fruits, and vegetables are the most
important food crops in the world, with cereal grains contributing
the bulk of food calories and proteins worldwide. Generally, the
supply of grains and other food can be enhanced by increasing
production and by reducing postharvest losses. While food
production has increased significantly over the last few decades,
minimizing huge postharvest losses as well as utilizing their
by-products/wastes is the optimal way for a country to become
self-sufficient in food. Postharvest Technology and Food Process
Engineering combines these two subject areas as it covers both the
primary processing of cereals, pulses, fruits, and vegetables and
utilization of by-products/biomass. This book covers postharvest
food preservation and processing methods, with an emphasis on
grains. It is divided into five parts: Grain-Properties, Drying and
Dryers Grain Storage Parboiling and Milling By-Products/Biomass
Utilization Food Process Engineering The text covers grain
structure and composition, psychrometry, the theory and methods of
grain drying, and design, testing, specification and selection of
grain dryers. It describes processes such as parboiling of grain,
hydrothermal treatment of grain, and milling of rice and other
grains and pulses. The text also addresses biomass utilization and
conversion technologies for energy, chemicals, food, and feed. The
final section on food process engineering examines postharvest
management including cooling, and packaging, and discusses
preservation and processing, factors that affect deterioration, and
various industrial preservation methods of fruits and vegetables.
It also provides an overview of food chemistry and covers food
engineering operations, including fluid mechanics and heat
transfer.

Big History traces the chronology of our universe from before the
Big Bang to now. It raises the most important questions that
concern us all and then provides answers from the naturalistic
point of view. Where did everything come from? How did we get here?
Why are humans so biologically similar? Why do we let small
differences divide us? Paul Singh draws on the latest findings from
the physical and biological sciences, astronomy and cosmology,
geology and genetics, and pre-history and archaeology in search of
answers to these and many other questions. He lucidly and
engagingly demonstrates; the answers science gives about ourselves
and the universe in which we live are incomparably more surprising
and interesting than any mythical tale of a creator ever devised by
any human culture. Indeed, science's proud journey of exploration
and discovery is humanity's finest narrative yet, about how we
trusted our intelligence to find out what we really are and who we
can be intrepidly going wherever the evidence led. Even though
science reveals that humanity may have no special place in the
universe, humanity is truly special because of our ability to
comprehend our universe to a large extent. Thus, this inspiring
story of exploration and discovery is a celebration not only of
science and its own journey but also of ourselves.
The Seduction of Religion offers an illuminating and provocative
guide to the religions of the world, focusing on the irrationality
of religious beliefs. The point of this book is not to preach
atheism so much as it is to encourage its readers to reflect more
carefully on why they believe what they believe. Every religion
thinks it is the true religion. But clearly they cannot all be
right. The Seduction of Religion places each of the major religions
in its historical context and examines some of their most important
doctrines in the light of reason and common sense. At the same
time, it treats its reader to a host of amusing facts and anecdotes
about the various religions that make the book enjoyable to read.
At the heart of the book is a paradox: All religions claim to be
the one true religion, but if any of them is right then all the
others are wrong. The Seduction of Religion introduces its readers
to the fascinating history of religions--a history that is the
outworking of this thought-provoking paradox. .
