Simplifying Complexity: Life is Uncertain Unfair and Unequal

Bruce J. West

Sinopsis

In life, we often face unavoidable complexities in terms of our ability to understand or influence outcomes. Some questions which arise due to these complexities are: Why can’t the future be made certain? Why do the some people or events always end up at the center of controversy? Why do only a select few get ahead of their peers? Each question pertains to three central elements of complexities and these elements are: uncertainty, inequality and unfairness.
Simplifying Complexity explains the scientific study of complex cognitive networks, as well as the methods scientists use to parse difficult problems into manageable pieces. Readers are introduced to scientific methodology and thought processes, followed by a discourse on perspectives on the three elements of complexity through concepts such as normal and non-normal statistics, scaling and complexity management.  
Simplifying Complexity combines basic cognitive science and scientific philosophy for both advanced students (in the fields of sociology, cognitive science, complex networks and change management) and for general readers looking for a more scientific guide to understanding and managing the nature of change in a complex world.

The TR-3B Black Manta - What is...

Martin K. Ettington

The TR-3B, or Black Manta, or Astra is one of the most fascinating potentially top secret aircraft ever created by the United States military. 
The big reason for this is that this craft is supposed to use anti-gravity technology. This technology is discussed a lot in this book. 
Also, what other evidence is there for the existence of this craft? There are lots of unknowns here but there are also enough pictures of this aircraft that you can’t just discount sightings as being something else which the observers misinterpreted. 
There are even anti-gravity patents by US government researchers which might be applicable to the reality of the TR-3B. 
Overall, the existence of this craft is a huge mystery which still needs exploration and solutions to what it really is. 
This is what I’m trying to do in this book.

VERNE CODE THE - The Secret of...

Jesús Cediel

It happened more than 450,000 years ago. Beings from outer space came to planet Earth in search of resources: fuel for a distant planet.It all began in Sumer, in ancient Mesopotamia. You may think this is an outlandish story by someone who has not slept for some days, but everything you will read is well documented in the most ancient writings known to mankind: the Enuma Elish, Atrahasis, the Epic of Gilgamesh, and many more.These writings, made in cuneiform on clay, have served as a source of inspiration for books of such importance as Genesis and Exodus in the Bible… although over time, the true knowledge has been mutated or mutilated for ideological or religious reasons. 
Over many years of research, Cediel has been able to verify that the facts are clear and undeniable…it just happens that they are so difficult to believe that science prefers not to accept them, because they do not conform to the historical paradigm.Finally, after years of research, and motivated by a shamanic experience, he has decided to committed his ideas to print: The Verne Code is the result.The Verne Code speaks of penicillin before Fleming, air travel before the first modern plane, of ancient maps of great precision charting places only discovered in the 20th century, of the human genome before Craig Venter, of cloning before Dolly the sheep, of nuclear explosions before Hiroshima and Nagasaki, about the quest for immortality before Geron Corporation; a treasure trove of ancient secrets waiting to be discovered. 
Cediel shows evidence of the extraterrestrial origin of humankind. The Verne Code is an exciting journey from the knowledge that existed in the most remote antiquity, to the frontiers of current scientific knowledge. The result is an anthropogenesis, a cosmogenesis, a theory of aging and a breakthrough theory on Atlantis. Cediel also explains the importance of the Sun and anticipates the spiritual paradigm that will rule in the astrological age of Aquarius-Leo.

Through the Firewall - The...

Boyd Clewis

Boyd Clewis has defied the odds and gravity. He was born dead, changed schools and homes as a child more times than he can count, became a teenage father and a track star, had more than one close brush with the law, and endured unimaginable family tragedy – all by the time he was barely old enough to drink.

He found a brief silver lining in the darkness. When it didn’t last, he found himself unable to even get a job in the produce section at Wal Mart. He refused to fail, and in the process, learned how to turn crisis into opportunity – over and over again. As he relentlessly pursued success, his trajectory shot straight upwards: international success, speaking on major stages – and love. Even then, there were days he couldn’t get out of bed.

Yet again, he reinvented himself, failed, and learned from it. Then, from a place most would consider their peak, he started from scratch to build his own business from the ground up. In the process, he learned what it truly meant to manage success. It can fulfill or destroy you, and it can bring your family closer, or tear it apart. It can isolate you from your community, or raise everyone around you up.

For better or worse, what you focus on determines your character and the trajectory of your life. Focus on any one thing to the exclusion of others, and everything you built can fall apart. There are two sides to every coin, and every seeming misfortune contains a lesson. There’s an alchemy to turning adversity to wisdom, and curses into blessings, and this is the story of how it worked for Boyd, and how it can work for you.

Tackle Football and Traumatic...

Daniel S. Goldberg, Christopher...

American tackle football is an industry like any other. And like many industries, it sells a product that is dangerous to those who use it—or, in this case, those who play it. Daniel S. Goldberg explores the connections among traumatic brain injury, collision sports, and the industry's continuing efforts to manufacture doubt. Focusing especially on youths and adolescents—the most vulnerable population that comprises over 99% of tackle football players in the US—Goldberg addresses the ethical and social implications of their participation in tackle football. 
 
 
 
As the tackle football industry has consistently worked to mask the health hazards, it has used a particular tool that has proved highly effective in achieving this subterfuge: the manufacture of doubt. Goldberg advocates for using public health laws as a tool for countering these efforts at obfuscation, and he outlines specific policy proposals intended to address the population health and ethical problems presented by tackle football. 
 
 
 
The book draws on public health ethics, public health law, and the histories of occupational and public health to assess the limits of parental choice to expose their children to risks of injury. Chris Nowinski, former Harvard football player and WWE wrestler, provides a timely and insider's perspective on these critical issues in the foreword.
