Humankind. At the same time, it's best friend and its worst enemy. We're capable of the Declaration of Human Rights and Genocide, sending a man to the moon and polluting our oceans.

Atomic Audit


Book Description

Since 1945, the United States has manufactured and deployed more than 70,000 nuclear weapons to deter and if necessary fight a nuclear war. Some observers believe the absence of a third world war confirms that these weapons were a prudent and cost-effective response to the uncertainty and fear surrounding the Soviet Union's military and political ambitions during the cold war. As early as 1950, nuclear weapons were considered relatively inexpensive— providing "a bigger bang for a buck"—and were thoroughly integrated into U.S. forces on that basis. Yet this assumption was never validated. Indeed, for more than fifty years scant attention has been paid to the enormous costs of this effort—more than $5 trillion thus far—and its short and long-term consequences for the nation. Based on four years of extensive research, Atomic Audit is the first book to document the comprehensive costs of U.S. nuclear weapons, assembling for the first time anywhere the actual and estimated expenditures for the program since its creation in 1940. The authors provide a unique perspective on U.S. nuclear policy and nuclear weapons, tracking their development from the Manhattan Project of World War II to the present day and assessing each aspect of the program, including research, development, testing, and production; deployment; command, control, communications, and intelligence; and defensive measures. They also examine the costs of dismantling nuclear weapons, the management and disposal of large quantities of toxic and radioactive wastes left over from their production, compensation for persons harmed by nuclear weapons activities, nuclear secrecy, and the economic implications of nuclear deterrence. Utilizing archival and newly declassified government documents and data, this richly documented book demonstrates how a variety of factors—the open-ended nature of nuclear deterrence, faulty assumptions about the cost-effectiveness of nuclear weapons, regular misrepresentati




The Buddha Pill


Book Description

Millions of people meditate daily but can meditative practices really make us ‘better’ people? In The Buddha Pill, pioneering psychologists Dr Miguel Farias and Catherine Wikholm put meditation and mindfulness under the microscope. Separating fact from fiction, they reveal what scientific research – including their groundbreaking study on yoga and meditation with prisoners – tells us about the benefits and limitations of these techniques for improving our lives. As well as illuminating the potential, the authors argue that these practices may have unexpected consequences, and that peace and happiness may not always be the end result. Offering a compelling examination of research on transcendental meditation to recent brain-imaging studies on the effects of mindfulness and yoga, and with fascinating contributions from spiritual teachers and therapists, Farias and Wikholm weave together a unique story about the science and the delusions of personal change.

Origin of Woman


Book Description

In no country around the world are women treated with equality. Patriarchy is rampant, and affects women physically, economically, and professionally. Will the equal rights movements obtain justice? Are women destined to be a second-class gender or will they become equal citizens? Women have so much to offer society. They are teachers, family builders, listeners, peacemakers, counselors. In the COVID-19 crisis, what would we do without their compassion, caring, sharing, and support? What lurks behind closed doors with male chauvinism is unspeakable. Reported violence and statistics do not tell the story of mental heartbreak, insults, ignorance, and hardship. Scars that mar little girls for life, secrets of obsessions, passions, and overpowering impositions. All we know is but the tip of the iceberg. Women aspire to warm relationships between the genders. They want loving homes, fulfilling roles in society, support in parenting, partnerships for our children. A woman craves sensitivity, empathy, being understood, emotional connection. They desire a gentleman, compliments, conversation, looking into their eyes, romance, and appreciation. How long can we afford to have gender war, suspicion, the waning of binding relationships? Online masculine domination in pornography and match-making for fast sex could be pounding the final nail in the coffin. How can we not only save the genders from one another but draw them closer together? If men don't participate in this challenge it's a lost cause. Marcel R. says about the author's approach to this commentary on Genesis 2, based on Biblical Hebrew, "A good lesson on word meanings and how to study them. It is not always what we think or what we have been taught. We need to understand what the authors meant when they wrote this." It's clarification time. If you've got an open mind and are looking for forthright insight into a controversial subject, then you need to get Origin of Woman. It answers the question where did woman come from? It reveals their equality with the masculine gender but their marked differences as well, and why. Get the book and discover the astonishing potential of women and their essential role in the 21st century.
