  The world stood still as whispers turned to warnings, and warnings became a reality. This book is an engaging and coarse account of how the COVID-19 crisis spread. It exposes the cracks in global preparedness, leadership failures, and the stability of everyday people. This book carries readers past the headlines, presenting a deep analysis of the chaotic early days of the pandemic. It emphasizes how misinformation, political missteps, and lack of readiness intensified the crisis, shifting what could have been a managed outbreak into a global disaster. The author also captures the full spectrum of survival, from frontline healthcare workers battling exhaustion to corporate leaders scrambling to hold businesses afloat. But it is not merely confined to being a retrospective—it’s a call to action. It pushes readers to question: Are we truly ready for the next global crisis? With its influential narration and critical insights, this book is essential for anyone aspiring to apprehend the pandemic’s lessons and the 'tomorrow' of global health security.

  Ex Machina - The God Experiment

  The philosophical exploration of reality has fascinated humanity since Plato's Allegory of the Cave and has reached new dimensions through technological and intellectual breakthroughs. From Descartes' skepticism of sensory perceptions to Daniel Dennett's provocative "illusionism," the nature of our conscious experiences is continually called into question. Yet, while neuroscience defends consciousness as real, the debate remains alive, shaping scientific and societal discourses.
  With George Berkeley's subjective idealism, which defines reality as a product of perception, and the groundbreaking concepts of Mach and Einstein, our understanding of space, time, and existence has been radically transformed. These philosophical foundations pave the way for one of the most intriguing questions of our time: Are we living in a simulation? What was once the realm of science fiction now occupies the forefront of cutting-edge research inspired by quantum physics, and the theories of computation and information.In their Scientific-Philosophical work – SciPhi – Anders Indset and Florian Neukart explore the hypothesis that our universe might be part of a chain of simulations – a concept with the potential to revolutionize our understanding of existence, theology, and the laws governing the cosmos. Together they examine the roles of computability, entropy, and the boundaries of physical laws within this chain of simulations. Could a collapse occur if resources are exhausted? And what does this mean for the notion of an infinite, external entity?
  With a clear focus on experimental approaches, Indset and Neukart analyze how we might uncover evidence about the nature of our reality. Although computational boundaries are still to be overcome,the authors, through observations and analysis on the simulation theories, open new perspectives on the profound questions of existence – while acknowledging the limits of current scientific knowledge.
  A compelling and profound book that encourages readers to think beyond the nature of reality and redefine the mystery of our existence.

  Sleep Paralysis - The Science...

  Sleep paralysis is one of the most mysterious and terrifying sleep phenomena known to humankind. Those who experience it describe waking up in the middle of the night, fully aware of their surroundings but unable to move. A crushing weight on the chest, an overwhelming sense of dread, and eerie hallucinations—shadowy figures, whispers, or even demonic entities—often accompany the experience. For centuries, people have attributed these encounters to supernatural forces, from demonic attacks to alien abductions. However, modern science has begun to uncover the true nature of sleep paralysis, revealing it as a complex interplay between the brain, body, and sleep cycles.  
    
  Despite being a well-documented occurrence, sleep paralysis remains shrouded in fear and misunderstanding. Many who suffer from it have no idea what is happening to them, leading to unnecessary distress and anxiety. While some dismiss it as a mere trick of the mind, others are convinced it is something more—an unexplained bridge between the waking world and the unknown. The debate between scientific explanations and paranormal interpretations has persisted for generations, making sleep paralysis one of the most intriguing topics in both medical and supernatural studies.  
    
  Historically, cultures around the world have attempted to explain this chilling phenomenon through folklore and mythology. In Scandinavian legend, the “Mare” was an evil spirit that sat on people’s chests at night, suffocating them as they slept. In Japan, the kanashibari, meaning “bound in metal,” was believed to be the work of vengeful spirits. Similarly, in parts of Africa and the Caribbean, the experience has been linked to black magic or ancestral spirits seeking revenge. These eerie similarities across different cultures suggest that sleep paralysis has been a universal human experience, yet its interpretations have varied dramatically depending on societal beliefs.

  The 4.4-billion-year history of the oceans and their role in Earth's climate systemIt has often been said that we know more about the moon than we do about our own oceans. In fact, we know a great deal more about the oceans than many people realize. Scientists know that our actions today are shaping the oceans and climate of tomorrow—and that if we continue to act recklessly, the consequences will be dire. In this timely and accessible book, Eelco Rohling traces the 4.4 billion-year history of Earth’s oceans while also shedding light on the critical role they play in our planet’s climate system.Beginning with the formation of primeval Earth and the earliest appearance of oceans, Rohling takes readers on a journey through prehistory to the present age, vividly describing the major events in the ocean’s evolution—from snowball and greenhouse Earth to the end-Permian mass extinction, the breakup of the Pangaea supercontinent, and the changing climate of today. Along the way, he explores the close interrelationships of the oceans, climate, solid Earth processes, and life, using the context of Earth and ocean history to provide perspective on humankind’s impacts on the health and habitability of our planet—and on what the future may hold for us.An invaluable introduction to the cutting-edge science of paleoceanography, The Oceans enables you to make your own informed opinions about the environmental challenges we face as a result of humanity’s unrelenting drive to exploit the world ocean and its vital resources.

  A long-treasured but forgotten classic of folk healing, with an introduction and commentary by the author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil. 
   
   
   
  Ossman & Steel's Guide to Health or Household Instructor (its original title) is a collection of spells, remedies, and charms. The book draws from the old Pennsylvania Dutch and German powwow healing practices that in turn helped shape Appalachian folk healing, conjure, root work, and many folk healing traditions in America. Jake Richards, author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil, puts these remedies in context, with practical advice for modern-day "backwoods" healers interested in using them today. 
   
   
   
  The first part contains spells and charms for healing wounds, sties, broken bones, maladies, and illnesses of all sorts. The second part includes other folk remedies using ingredients based on sympathetic reasoning, including sulfuric acid, gunpowder, or other substances for swelling, toothache, headache, and so on. These remedies are presented here for historic interest, to help better understand how folk medicine evolved in America. It is Jake Richards's hope that reintroducing this work will reestablish its position as a useful household helper in the library of every witch or country healer.
