The philosophical foundation of this novel is the idea that love and aesthetic sense are the most important products of the biological evolution on Earth and maybe even in the Universe. Love is the only engine, the source, and the meaning of human existence and survival in our complex, dark, and often cruel world. When beautiful and talented journalist Michelle Rosen meets geneticist Sam Levitin, neither can imagine the exponentially developing and powerful passion that will dramatically transform their lives. Their deep and intense affection for each other will see them drawn into the miraculous transcendental spiritual world. From Michelles seeming mystical abilities to Sams extraordinary achievement at getting his dog, the Saint Bernard Chook, to speak, both will begin to unravel the amazing mysterious connections that will become the framework of their new experience. They will begin to uncover the next step in human evolution and attempt to breach the veil separating us from the Kingdom of the God of Love.

Russia Under Three Tsars

By: Michael N. Kalantar

REDISCOVERED: EYEWITNESS HISTORY Opening with an intimate, dramatic account of the assassination of Tsar Alexander II in 1881, this long-lost history describes the personalities and actions of the last tsars during the years leading up to the Russian Revolution. Glittering royals, politicians, military officers, scoundrels and anarchists all walk across these pages as they did in life during the last years of the tsars. Alexander II, Alexander III, and the last tsar—the ill-fated Nicholas II—each attempted to forestall the forces of revolution. This eyewitness history is based on exclusive access to the original manuscript memoirs of Count Loris-Melikov, Tsar Alexander II's chief minister, and by the author's personal experience in Tsar Nicholas II's government as Secretary-in-Chief of the Duma. Appendix: Interview with Count Leo Tolstoy Edited and with an introduction by Irene Vartanoff

The Sun

An Introduction

By: Michael Stix

A wealth of new experimental and theoretical results has been obtained in solar physics since the first edition of this textbook appeared in 1989. Thus all nine chapters have been thoroughly revised, and about 100 pages and many new illustrations have been added to the text. The additions include element diffusion in the solar interior, the recent neutrino experiments, methods of image restoration, observational devices used for spectroscopy and polarimetry, and new developments in helioseismology and numerical simulation. The book takes particular advantage of the results of several recent space missions, which lead to substantial progress in our understanding of the Sun, from the deep interior to the corona and solar wind.

Modern Conspiracies in America

Separating Fact from Fiction

By: Michael D. Gambone

... an excellent guide to logic and credibility for all who are curious about this complex and urgent subject." Booklist Starred Review America is awash with alleged conspiracies. It seems like today, no one with a cell phone escapes the vortex of skepticism, cynicism, paranoia, and fear that occupy our thoughts almost constantly. Seeking out valid answers in this cacophony can be confusing and deeply frustrating. In this book, historian Michael D. Gambone provides case studies of popular conspiracy theories in America from the past 100 years, from Protocol of the Elders of Zion to #stopthesteal. He offers an approach based on basic logic and historical case studies, not designed to win arguments, but to help readers separate truth from the avalanche of nonsense descending on us every day. In each case, Gambone outlines the conspiracy claim, provides historical context for the conspiracy, presents evidence of the conspiracy claim, and analyzes the claim, context, and evidence. Modern Conspiracies in American History will appeal to a broad audience of readers interested in American history and those seeking to become better informed consumers of news in an era when social media spreads misinformation widely and quickly.

The Rise and Fall of Intelligence

The Rise and Fall of Intelligence

An International Security History

By: Michael Warner

This sweeping history of the development of professional, institutionalized intelligence examines the implications of the fall of the state monopoly on espionage today and beyond. During the Cold War, only the alliances clustered around the two superpowers maintained viable intelligence endeavors, whereas a century ago, many states could aspire to be competitive at these dark arts. Today, larger states have lost their monopoly on intelligence skills and capabilities as technological and sociopolitical changes have made it possible for private organizations and even individuals to unearth secrets and influence global events. Historian Michael Warner addresses the birth of professional intelligence in Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century and the subsequent rise of US intelligence during the Cold War. He brings this history up to the present day as intelligence agencies used the struggle against terrorism and the digital revolution to improve capabilities in the 2000s. Throughout, the book examines how states and other entities use intelligence to create, exploit, and protect secret advantages against others, and emphasizes how technological advancement and ideological competition drive intelligence, improving its techniques and creating a need for intelligence and counterintelligence activities to serve and protect policymakers and commanders. The world changes intelligence and intelligence changes the world. This sweeping history of espionage and intelligence will be a welcomed by practitioners, students, and scholars of security studies, international affairs, and intelligence, as well as general audiences interested in the evolution of espionage and technology.

LIFE AS IS

LIFE AS IS

By: Dr. Michael Kleenoff

Puzzled and disturbed by the religious discord exhibited among disparate yet deeply devoted believers--the unfading urge of many to find guilt concerning the Jews; the lack of desire to understand the yearning of blacks; the ability and the need of most men to hate, to rebuke, and to discard, if not enjoy the sufferings of, a stranger--all these imperfections of humankind led M. Kleenoff to write this book. Question after question began to accumulate, forcing the author to relentlessly seek answers. Not satisfied with half-truths and encountering many dismissals in a game of zeitgeist interlaced with politically correct answers, M. Kleenoff confronts these questions with his eyes and heart wide open in the pursuit of the main task--to finally get to the bottom of human misdeeds. The author does not blame anyone; he simply attempts, through a thorough analysis, to understand why such behavior happens. He then shows the reader how to be more tolerant, understanding, and humane. Whether it comes through education, high standards of morality, or simply through relying on a higher power, the author demonstrates the way to use any of these roads, if not all, to achieve unity and happiness for all, regardless of societal dissimilarities.
