  Learn the stories behind this luxurious—and haunted—ocean liner . . . 
   
   
   
  For thirty-one years, the RMS Queen Mary sailed the North Atlantic. It helped defeat Hitler and was the ship of choice for the world's rich and famous. Now in retirement in the Port of Long Beach, the "Stateliest Ship Afloat" plays host to tourists, travelers—and more than six hundred spirits that roam her halls and passageways. 
   
   
   
  These choice decks remain the floating home of a few regulars, including the oft-glimpsed White Lady, as well as Little Jackie, John Henry, and, of course, Grumpy. Join paranormal investigators Brian Clune and Bob Davis as they take you to the hot spots of activity from port to starboard and relate tales from the dockside about the spirits that haunt the grandest liner ever built.

  The Second 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 Second History of Man focuses mostly on bacteria and bacterial infections as the foundation, jumping off into Darwin and evolution, gin & tonics and the discovery of the first antibiotic to treat infection (and it wasn’t penicillin), visiting with those clever chaps who cook up drugs in the lab. We’ll call upon poets & poetry, celebrities like Frank Sinatra, the Rat Pack, and Bobby Darin, the classical music of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, the tragic story of World War II, Anne Frank and the Holocaust, tuberculosis, and a few of the rich & famous who suffered from TB, travelling back in time to the Black Death which wiped out 25 percent of humans on Earth, exploring the origins of a salon and a saloon, Columbus and the Age of Discovery, the lost generations of childhood, ending with the invention of the Internet.

  The Great American Transit...

  Nicholas Dagen Bloom

  A potent re-examination of America’s history of public disinvestment in mass transit. 
    
  Many a scholar and policy analyst has lamented American dependence on cars and the corresponding lack of federal investment in public transportation throughout the latter decades of the twentieth century. But as Nicholas Dagen Bloom shows in The Great American Transit Disaster, our transit networks are so bad for a very simple reason: we wanted it this way. 
    
  Focusing on Baltimore, Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, and San Francisco, Bloom provides overwhelming evidence that transit disinvestment was a choice rather than destiny. He pinpoints three major factors that led to the decline of public transit in the United States: municipal austerity policies that denied most transit agencies the funding to sustain high-quality service; the encouragement of auto-centric planning; and white flight from dense city centers to far-flung suburbs. As Bloom makes clear, these local public policy decisions were not the product of a nefarious auto industry or any other grand conspiracy—all were widely supported by voters, who effectively shut out options for transit-friendly futures. With this book, Bloom seeks not only to dispel our accepted transit myths but hopefully to lay new tracks for today’s conversations about public transportation funding.

  "HEART WANT - LOGIC DOES NOT...

  Both, namely the Heart and Mind, are the basic ingredients for forming a humble person. 
  The heart is like a small child who if left alone will endanger himself and others, Mind is like a 
  parent who if there are no children, the completeness of the family becomes unbalanced. The 
  heart will be good if it comes from wise directions at the level of reason, but it will be bad if it 
  comes from directions to the lack of understanding of the Mind. 
  This reason is also developed into a beautiful sentence from the scholars of wisdom, namely 
  العقل السليم فى الجسم التسليم 
  "A good reason is found in a good body" 
  in that sentence, there are those who say that its application is very dialectical, meaning that not 
  only is the reason mentioned first, all humans are able to implement it. the meaning of that 
  sentence is that the body can be the first application. dialectic is one of the evidences of a fact 
  where something cannot be 
  a thing that stops statically or definitely, it is so easy to move position from the beginning to 
  point A to point B, from being at point B a minute later it can be positioned at 
  point A, the most important part in this case is Nothing Is Out of the Participation 
  of the Almighty. Namely "a good body is very strongly bound to a good mind" 
  then it becomes; 
  الجسم السليم فى العقل التسليم 
  According to the famous Cultural Expert and Scholar Emha Ainun Nadjib, the following are the 
  various kinds of inversions of a dialectic, which are the diversity of perspectives and ways of 
  thinking of every human being who is willing to process it, for the sake of continuity and 
  suitability of a life path that is carried out.
