"Cornerstone" is a new collection of essays offering a dazzling, contemporary spin on the origins of civilization. Pedro Azara s unique architectural and archaeological insights, enhanced by his knowledge of cuneiform script, decode the dreams, myths and ideas that gave birth to the city some 7000 years ago. Through painstaking fieldwork and the reexamination of ancient Mesopotamian texts, Azara casts fresh light on these first architects and in the process, uncovers the mysterious origins of urban culture and the aesthetic principles underpinning it. With nimble wit and a voracious intellect, Azara follows these echoes from the past through to our present day cityscapes, proof that, perhaps, our old neighbours have never really moved out. "

One person said, "I have read many a book in my life, but never one like this!" Tom moves from some of the simplest of entities in our life to some of the most complex issues of today. "It's some of those simple things that hold great value for us." He admonishes, "Follow truth, not people." He tackles such a wide variety of topics that you never know what's coming next. You may view your IQ differently than ever before! He tackles abortion, not in debate but with one simple question! He touches on alcohol, drugs, and tobacco, not in a condemning way but with thoughts he hopes will stick in your mind. This book does not come across as a preach-at-you book, rather, a passing on of thoughts to encourage you. "Don't let anyone think for you! It's your life. You're the one who has to live it and leave it!" Shootings, voting, fairness-he takes them on. Oh yes, he tackles faith. He suggests you must have a TBS to have a Bible faith. A what? A TBS? You'll see! It's a thought provoker, highly entertaining, out of the box. Surprisingly, he somewhat minimizes politics. Tom maintains it is E-C-O-N-O-M-I-C-S that we need to understand. Like what works and what doesn't work. He addresses what he calls the "what's one vote" disease. He calls evolution a hoax and backs it up. He says we need to pull out the Golden Rule, dust it off, and hang it back up. The most stirring section may be "Finding God within Your Skin." You will never look at yourself in the mirror the same ever again! He takes you into areas of thought where you've probably never been before, like down into the inner chambers of your heart...where no one goes...but you and God.

Those who claim that the Quran was written by Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) have given him a different motive for doing so and can basically be divided into the following groups - For Material Gain/ Power and Glory - To Unite the Arabs or to morally reform them - Epileptic Seizures or Self-Delusions With Muhammad being perhaps the most well documented man in human history, we can easily examine these claims and compare them to his life. Firstly, the claim that Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) wrote the Quran is not new. His own people made this claim. In response, to this claim, God revealed the following:

Bushido: A Modern Adaptation of the Ancient Code of the Samurai attempts to address the violent nature of the human spirit and to harness and redirect that trait into a constructive force for the betterment of mankind. Bushido examines the metaphor of the Warrior as it appears in human culture both historically and in the stories, philosophies and religions of mankind, drawing heavily upon the stoic martial philosophy of Feudal Japan and on the Judeo-Christian principles which have shaped the West. It is the Author's hope that this work will convey a message of self-reliance, strength and peace that our world so desperately needs.
