  A philosophical approach to the enigma of nature and the universe approached through observation, meditation, and logical analysis of material phenomena.   Written in accessible language for the general reader, The Origin of the Universe expounds on a theory that Jan Aleksander Piasecki developed from a synthesis of data he accumulated over the years. He discusses world forces and how they combine and operate to create the universe and matter, and all living things in it. A special section discusses the soul, its design and destiny.   Attributing everything in the universe to the impact and expansion of the heat entity and the resistance and pressure of the cold entity, Piasecki moves through time and space to explain the creation of the sun, the solar system, atmosphere, water, and living forms. He draws a connection from outside forces to that which animates every “self-moving form” from within: the soul, imbued with the knowledge of its own being.   From molecules to the moon, The Origin of the Universe takes readers on a journey through the mysteries of life, those with a finite existence and those that may endure forever . . .

  The Japanese Famine of 1782-1788...

  The Tenmei era, spanning from 1781 to 1789, marked one of the most tumultuous periods in early modern Japanese history. Under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate, Japan faced a complex web of challenges that created the perfect storm for one of the country’s most devastating famines. The political leadership at the time struggled to manage internal pressures, while nature unleashed a series of disasters that exposed deep structural weaknesses in Japanese society and governance. 
  Politically, the Tokugawa regime was already under strain. After more than 150 years of relative stability, cracks had begun to appear in the shogunate’s centralized control. Corruption was increasingly evident among regional officials, and the rigid class system left little room for social mobility or adaptive governance. Daimyōs, or feudal lords, often prioritized local interests over national concerns, making unified responses to crises difficult. These issues weakened the ability of the central government to respond decisively to the hardships that were beginning to unfold. 
  Economically, Japan in the late 18th century was a fragile system, heavily reliant on rice production. Despite modest attempts at economic reform, the country remained vulnerable to crop failure, inflation, and regional imbalances. Merchant classes were rising in wealth and influence, while peasants bore the brunt of heavy taxation and poor harvests. The disconnect between economic policy and rural reality would prove fatal when disaster struck.

  Spend twenty-four hours with the ancient Egyptians. 
   
   
   
  Ancient Egypt wasn't all pyramids, sphinxes and gold sarcophagi. For your average Egyptian, life was tough, and work was hard, conducted under the burning gaze of the sun god Ra. 
   
   
   
  During the course of a day in the ancient city of Thebes (modern-day Luxor), Egypt's religious capital, we meet twenty-four Egyptians from all strata of society—from the king to the bread-maker, the priestess to the fisherman, the soldier to the midwife—and get to know what the real Egypt was like by spending an hour in their company. We encounter a different one of these characters every hour and in every chapter, and through their eyes see what an average day in ancient Egypt was really like.
