    "Origins of Chinese Civilization: A History of China" by Hui Wang takes you on a journey through China's ancient past, told in a way that feels like you're listening to an elder recounting myths around a campfire. The book starts with Fuxi, the first leader, whose inventions like the Eight Trigrams and fishing nets shaped early Chinese culture. The story moves through key figures like Nüwa, who patched the sky and shaped humanity from clay, and the Yan Emperor, who pioneered agriculture and medicine. Finally, the legendary Yellow Emperor, known as a creator of civilization, brings the narrative into a more organized and developed era. 
    The legends are filled with fascinating myths—like Fuxi's miraculous birth from a footprint, or Nüwa molding people from earth, and the rise of agriculture through Emperor Yan's curiosity about plants. The author doesn't simply recite the historical figures but adds warmth, humor, and a sense of connection, making it easy to see why these stories have endured for thousands of years. It's not just about dates and events; it's about people trying to live better, inventing things that changed their daily lives, and facing challenges with creativity and resilience. This book is perfect for those who want to explore Chinese history not through dry facts but with lively storytelling that brings ancient China to life.

    Really Granddad?

    A young girl climbs up on her grandfather’s knee, looks up at him with her big eyes and says, “Granddad, tell me another story.” And Granddad is happy to oblige. 
    These are the tales of Wayne Sherrard. Some are homespun, workaday little family stories and some are far more dramatic – from encountering the vengeful side of gophers and discovering the personalities of cows to creating a (short-lived) teen pirate radio station and fighting to get maple tree sap. The settings are fascinating rural locations in the Canadian Maritimes, Ontario, Europe, Alberta, and Canada's Arctic. They succinctly capture memorable moments of life for a boy growing up in an air force family during the fifties and sixties and entering young manhood in the 1970s. 
    Really, Granddad? is a collection of fifty very short, highly entertaining, positive stories for both children and adults. This book chronicles the arc of a mischievous little boy to a young man of ethics, and celebrates the power and beauty of family love across the generations.

  • Organ Harvesting - The Black Market for Human Organs and Its Global Impact - cover

    Organ Harvesting - The Black...

    Organ harvesting represents one of the most pressing and disturbing ethical challenges of our time. This practice involves the removal of organs from individuals, often without consent, for transplantation or sale on the black market. While organ transplantation has revolutionized modern medicine, saving countless lives, the dark underbelly of the industry reveals a stark contrast—one where human rights are systematically violated, and vulnerable populations are exploited. The global demand for organs far exceeds the legal supply, creating a lucrative black market that preys on the world’s most marginalized individuals.  
      
    Throughout history, organ transplantation has been hailed as a miraculous medical advancement, but the unintended consequences of this progress have given rise to a shadowy network of illegal activities. This network spans continents, involving organized crime syndicates, complicit healthcare professionals, and corrupt officials. Victims are often coerced, deceived, or forced into giving up their organs, leaving them physically and emotionally scarred. These individuals, frequently from impoverished or war-torn regions, become collateral damage in a system driven by desperation and profit.  
      
    At the heart of this issue lies a complex web of ethical, social, and economic dilemmas. The disparity between the demand and supply of organs has fueled an industry that operates beyond the reach of law enforcement. Many nations struggle to implement effective regulations, and international efforts to combat organ trafficking are hindered by jurisdictional and logistical challenges. Compounding the problem are cultural and religious beliefs, which can influence attitudes toward organ donation and exacerbate the shortage of legally available organs.
