  The Book of Deuteronomy is the fifth book of the Torah, and the fifth book of the Christian Old Testament. Chapters 1-30 of the book consist of three sermons or speeches delivered to the Israelites by Moses on the Plains of Moab, shortly before they enter the Promised Land. The first sermon recounts the forty years of wilderness wanderings which had led to that moment, and ends with an exhortation to observe the law. The second sermon reminds the Israelites of the need to follow Yahweh and the laws (or teachings) he has given them, on which their possession of the land depends. The third sermon offers the comfort that, even should the nation of Israel prove unfaithful and so lose the land, with repentance all can be restored. The final four chapters (31-34) contain the Song of Moses, the Blessing of Moses, and the narratives recounting the passing of the mantle of leadership from Moses to Joshua and, finally, the death of Moses on Mount Nebo.

  The Third 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 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.

  In a world where opinions are plentiful and voices compete for attention, Principles of Persuasion offers a measured and thoughtful exploration of the delicate art of changing minds, not through loud insistence, but through gentle persuasion.
  
  Drawing upon the enduring traditions of logic, rhetoric, and the ever-shifting influence of circumstance, this work examines the subtle forces that shape belief, inspire agreement, and guide human decision. It is not a treatise on manipulation, but a meditation upon persuasion as a refined craft, an exchange between speaker and listener.
  
  Witty in its reflections, yet gracious in its tone, it reveals that true persuasion is neither a matter of force nor a matter of flattery, but a cultivated art founded on integrity, clarity, and mutual respect. These pages offer not a manual of tricks, but an invitation to influence with honour and purpose.
  
  Let this be your invitation to persuade and influence with its enduring principles.
