  The Third History of Man

  MD John Bershof

  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 Third History of Man leaves bacteria in the rear-view mirror and jumps to viruses and viral infections, the cold, the flu and COVID-19, not just another flu. We’ll cover epidemics, pandemics, and vaccines, the pox infections, and the Spock principle that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few … or the one. From COVID and the rise of Zoom, we’ll venture into the rise of Homo sapiensand the fall of Neanderthals, the high sea adventures of Darwin aboard and the high sea adventures of dementia. Our travels will take us along the Silk Road and Spice Trade, another visit with the Age of Discovery when masted ships and European explorers went looking for that elusive sea route to the Far East, and looking for gold, annihilating huge swaths of indigenous Americans at every port of disembarkation, not by the pointy end of a sword, but by tiny infectious microbes. We’ll examine colonialism at its finest, the sordid European history of imperialism and the land grab into Africa and the New World Americas.

  BRAIN TRAINING: THE BASICS OF...

  The human brain, at the center of the human nervous system, is a highly complex organ. The brain tracks and regulates the actions and reactions of the body. The brain receives sensory information on an ongoing basis, and analyzes the data quickly and then responds, controlling body actions and functions. 
  How the brain works and what affects our thought habits is a subject that is still being studied by scientists and medical professionals. Still, there is no question that the human brain can be conditioned through simple games, puzzles and riddles to function at a higher capacity and thereby improve memory, reaction time, strategic thinking and other aspects of our brains. 
  What you have to realize first is that several areas play vital roles in assessing your brain fitness and preparing your brain. I assume that when you read this book, you are already aware of the importance of maintaining your brain health. You're still only aware of minimal scope though. This is the shortcoming of fast brain training games: they operate only on brain exercise. Ignored are the other three pillars of brain fitness: physical activity, stress management, and proper nutrition. 
  The internet world will help you improve your brain function while sitting lazily on your couch. A clinically proven system such as Brain HQ will help you improve your memory by simply performing your brain training exercises, or thinking quicker. 
  Here are little contents you find in from this book:Brain Training And CompanyWhy Memory ImprovesAre You The Strongest Thing In The Brain?How to Keep Things in Mind by Changing BehaviorsImprovement of Brain Drills, Ensuring MemoryTransform Into Reality Your Dream of Running a Fully Functional MindHow Brain Exercises a Good Memory
