James Webb Space Telescope...

Martin K. Ettington

The James Webb Space Telescope or JWST was launched on Christmas in 2021 to provide the most sensitive telescopic views of the Universe. 
It has already revolutionized our real world views of the early Universe and these observations question our current theories of the creation of the Universe. 
This book gets into the history of the JWST, the instruments it carries, new observations, and ideas of what these anomalies mean. 
We review some of the most important observations made to date, and finally, some theories of how to explain these incredible views of the early reality of the Universe. 
There are also some other anomalies in Space which are mentioned which were known before the JWST existed which also question the current Big Bang paradigm. 
We are living in a revolutionary period of Astronomy much like the questions which occurred to Astronomers and Physicists in the early 20th Century which led to the theories we have today on Universe creation. 
I’m sure that new paradigms will be the result of the current confusion which will contribute to new theories and better understandings of the world we live in.

Fragmented - A Doctor's Quest to...

MD Ilana Yurkiewicz

There's an unspoken assumption when we go to see a doctor: the doctor knows our medical story and is making decisions based on that story. But reality often falls short. Medical records vanish when we switch doctors. Critical details of life-saving treatment plans get lost in muddled electronic charts. The doctors we see change according to specialty, hospital shifts, or an insurer's whims. 
 
  
 
In this gripping narrative from medicine's front lines, Ilana Yurkiewicz reveals how a system that doesn't talk to itself puts insupportable burdens on physicians, patients, and caregivers. The stories she tells are at once harrowing and commonplace. A patient narrowly averts an unnecessary, invasive heart procedure by producing a worn rhythm strip he has carried in his pocket for a decade. A man diagnosed with leukemia while visiting from abroad has thirty-one physicians, but no one he can call "his" doctor, with tragic consequences. When Yurkiewicz's own father falls ill, a culture that incentivizes health care providers to react with quick fixes leads to weeks of additional suffering. 
 
 
 
The system is hanging by a thread, and we need better solutions. Yurkiewicz issues a clear-eyed call for change, naming concrete reforms doctors and policymakers can make, and empowering patients and their loved ones to advocate for themselves in the meantime.

The mistery of Tesla and the...

Patrizia Luraschi

The Egyptian pyramid is one of the most mysterious structures we have on Earth. Many times we will have wondered, seeing the pyramid of Khufu live or in the figure, how it could is been built, chi l'ha messa lì in quel luogo, e quando; ma soprattutto per quale ragione? Consisting of two million three hundred thousand stones, and weighing six millions tons, a mass of stones perfectly embedded like a laser, carried even from distant areas, and weighing eight tons each. When they were new, the pyramids could be compared to jewels, magnificent structures, which time has hardly scratched. But the most frequent question that comes to mind about them is: who built them? And were human beings able at that time to build something so huge and perfect? Or did they accept some outside help? And why was it so important to put them there? What was the purpose of putting them there? Now we will try to explain this great mystery, which shocked even Nicola Tesla, who was almost close to replicating them, creating free energy for the whol
