Summary

Whether it is true or not that not more than twelve persons in all the world are able to understand Einstein's Theory, it is nevertheless a fact that there is a constant demand for information about this much-debated topic of relativity. The books published on the subject are so technical that only a person trained in pure physics and higher mathematics is able to fully understand them. In order to make a popular explanation of this far-reaching theory available, the present book is published.
Professor Lorentz is credited by Einstein with sharing the development of his theory. He is doubtless better able than any other man—except the author himself—to explain this scientific discovery.
Available since: 02/10/2023.

  • The Third History of Man - cover

    The Third History of Man

    In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
    The Third History of Man leaves bacteria in the rear-view mirror and jumps to viruses and viral infections, the cold, the flu and COVID-19, not just another flu. We’ll cover epidemics, pandemics, and vaccines, the pox infections, and the Spock principle that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few … or the one. From COVID and the rise of Zoom, we’ll venture into the rise of Homo sapiensand the fall of Neanderthals, the high sea adventures of Darwin aboard and the high sea adventures of dementia. Our travels will take us along the Silk Road and Spice Trade, another visit with the Age of Discovery when masted ships and European explorers went looking for that elusive sea route to the Far East, and looking for gold, annihilating huge swaths of indigenous Americans at every port of disembarkation, not by the pointy end of a sword, but by tiny infectious microbes. We’ll examine colonialism at its finest, the sordid European history of imperialism and the land grab into Africa and the New World Americas.

    Technology has transformed every aspect of modern life, reshaping the way people communicate, work, learn, and even think. The rapid evolution of digital tools, artificial intelligence, and automation has created new opportunities for innovation and progress. At the same time, it has introduced complex challenges, raising questions about privacy, security, and the ethical implications of technological advancement. While some argue that technology is a force for good, improving efficiency and convenience, others warn of its unintended consequences, such as addiction, misinformation, and social disconnection.  
      
    The digital revolution has promised to connect the world like never before, making information more accessible and enabling instant communication across continents. However, the same tools that foster global connectivity also contribute to a decline in real-world interactions. Social media platforms, for example, offer a space for people to share ideas, but they have also been linked to mental health issues, cyberbullying, and the spread of false information. Additionally, concerns about surveillance and data privacy have grown, as companies and governments collect vast amounts of personal information, often without users' full awareness or consent.  
      
    Another major area of technological impact is the workforce. Automation and artificial intelligence are changing the job market, replacing certain human roles while creating new ones. While these advancements increase efficiency and reduce costs, they also raise concerns about job displacement and economic inequality. Many industries, from manufacturing to customer service, have seen a shift toward AI-driven processes, leaving workers struggling to adapt. At the same time, some experts believe that technology can enhance human capabilities rather than replace them, leading to a future where humans and machines collaborate rather than compete.

    How and why did humans begin to treat sick and injured animals? And how did those practices, and the associated attitudes, evolve from prehistory to the present day? 
     
     
     
    To answer these questions, Dr. Schott shares stories of twenty-two different animal healers and veterinarians from across eras and continents, examining the always fascinating, often unexpected, and sometimes hilarious veterinary methods employed by these people and their colleagues. But at the heart of the tale lies the evolution of the human-animal bond, which has been more cyclical than linear. 
     
     
     
    James Herriot will be familiar to many people, but most of the other featured vets will be new. They range from Palakapya, who treated fighting elephants in India almost 3,000 years ago, to Dr. Louis Camuti, who had the first feline house call practice anywhere, tending to the cats of celebrities in mid-twentieth-century Manhattan. Along the way, we see every kind of person trying to heal every kind of creature. 
     
     
     
    Whether you have a passion for animals, the history of the medical sciences, or just quirky history, this light-hearted exploration of the empathetic relationship between man and beast will entertain and delight.
