The author of this e-book is an engineer and physicist who specialized in space technologies. After a few years at the European Space Agency, he occupied for some 30 years the position of director of studies in a Paris-based industrial think tank. He is the father of ten children. After his retirement, he endeavored to obtain a degree in theology in an academic institution frequented by numerous seminarians and members of religious orders. He was appalled by what he discovered there. It has been said that in the Bible everything can be put in doubt with the exception of the footnotes. This is exactly what he found out. Where he had expected to receive an in-depth intellectual introduction to theological matters, he found himself subjected to a sort of brain washing aiming at replacing all what he had learned in his childhood and in a lifetime as a practicing catholic by the most futile modern fantasies and in particular by the imaginations of the theory of evolution. Evolution is for our time what Arianism was in the first centuries: the major heresy. It is even more than an heresy, an anti-theology which attributes to materialistic processes what used to be and should always be attributed to God's power and love. Nevertheless a large crowd of theologians, exegetes, professors and bishops adhere to this theory with an enthusiasm that they justify by claiming that science has proven its adequation to reality without any doubt. Evolution is more than a theory, they claim, this is the consensus of the scientists and it would be a sin against truth not to admit it. Refusing to accept that, the author decided to inquire about the scientific foundations of evolution. He quickly discovered that not only were such foundations most unconvincing, but that several of the most vocal defenders of the theory candidly admitted the patent absurdity of some of its constructs (Richard Lewontin) and that their aim was purely ideological or rather anti-religious. The results of his work were published in two books : “La terrible Responsabilité de l'exégèse moderne dans la crise de l'Église” (Edilivre, Paris, 2015) and “Modern Exegesis, the Theory of Evolution and the Decline of Catholicism in the West” (2016, Available on Amazon). The present e-book summarizes the scientific arguments opposing evolution with a special focus on the time line of the beginnings of mankind.

The book tells the story of how we never evolved to exercise - to do voluntary physical activity for the sake of health. Using his own research and experiences throughout the world, the author recounts how and why humans evolved to walk, run, dig, and do other necessary and rewarding physical activities while avoiding needless exertion. Drawing on insights from biology and anthropology, the author suggests how we can make exercise more enjoyable, rather that shaming and blaming people for avoiding it

Each of us will know physical pain in our lives, but none of us knows when it will come or how long it will stay. Today as much as 10 percent of the population of the United States suffers from chronic pain. It is more widespread, misdiagnosed, and undertreated than any major disease. While recent research has shown that pain produces pathological changes to the brain and spinal cord, many doctors and patients still labor under misguided cultural notions and outdated scientific dogmas that prevent proper treatment, to devastating effect. In The Pain Chronicles, a singular and deeply humane work, Melanie Thernstrom traces conceptions of pain throughout the ages—from ancient Babylonian pain-banishing spells to modern brain imaging—to reveal the elusive, mysterious nature of pain itself. Interweaving first-person reflections on her own battle with chronic pain, incisive reportage from leading-edge pain clinics and medical research, and insights from a wide range of disciplines—science, history, religion, philosophy, anthropology, literature, and art—Thernstrom shows that when dealing with pain we are neither as advanced as we imagine nor as helpless as we may fear. Both a personal meditation and an intellectual exploration, The Pain Chronicles illuminates and makes sense of the all-too-human experience of pain—and confronts with extraordinary grace and empathy its peculiar traits, its harrowing effects, and its various antidotes.

The death penalty remains one of the most controversial issues in the United States. Its proponents claim many things in their defense of its continued application. For example, they claim that it deters crime, that death by lethal injection is painless and humane, that it is racially neutral, and that it provides closure to families of the victims. In this comprehensive review of the major death penalty issues, the authors systematically dismantle each one of these myths about capital punishment in a hard-hitting critique of how our social, political, and community leaders have used fear and myth (symbolic politics) to misrepresent the death penalty as a public policy issue. They successfully demonstrate how our political and community leaders have used myth and emotional appeals to misrepresent the facts about capital executions. Successive chapters address the following topics: the notion of community bonding, the expectation of effective crime fighting, the desire for equal justice, deterrence, the hope for fidelity to the Constitution, the claim of error-free justice, closure, retribution, cost-effectiveness, and the messianic desires of some politicians. In each of these areas the authors quote from death penalty advocates making these claims and then proceed to analyze and ultimately dismember the claimed advantages of the death penalty.
