  The onset of cold weather brings out the boots, coats, gloves—and the stoplight-red “Flu Shots Available Here” signs in drugstore windows. For many scientists and public health specialists alike, flu season has become a little like Russian roulette. The likelihood of a deadly pandemic outbreak of influenza is not far from reality considering the nature of some of the different viral strains. In this book, we delve into the science of the flu, starting with past pandemics and what we can learn from them.

  Saints and Animals

  St. Francis of Assisi has been for decades been depicted in illustrations, paintings, and even garden birdbaths as a saint with a love for animals.  But he is not the only Christian saint associated with animals. Early Christian martyrs, the Desert Fathers of Egypt, monks and hermits from Ireland to Italy, Belgian nuns and saintly French noblemen all have fascinating accounts of animals as part of their legends. The tendency is to either naively accept all these accounts at face value, or dismiss them outright as fables.  However, neither approach is adequate. In this series of lectures you will approach these stories as hagiography, that is, stories of the saints intended to edify, to communicate a spiritual meaning to their audience.  These stories of saints and animals in this course are designed to offer people today an idea of how earlier Christian generations understood their fellow creatures as significant, communicating important messages of their Creator.This course is part of the Learn25 collection and includes a free PDF study guide.

  Types of UFOs Observed in History

  My goal in this book is to show the different types of UFOs reported throughout history and today. 
  I’m not trying to prove whether these ships are real or not. I just thought that given the many thousands of sightings of UFOs there should be some commonalities between the sightings. 
  Some of the questions I want to answer include: 
  Are there any trends in these sightings? 
  Is there an evolution in the design of these vehicles over time? 
  Are there some common designs over time? 
  Also, some of the UFOs sighted are likely fakes or secret projects built by the US government. I tried to show that information too. 
  Just due to the number of stars in our galaxy I’m convinced that Aliens exist and have probably visited our planet thousands or even millions of year in the past-in addition to visiting in the present. 
  This collection of historical photos, drawings, and descriptions should provide you with a narrative as to how these sightings have changed over time.
