  In this revelatory and original book, award-winning author of the acclaimed surf memoir On a Wave illuminates the connection between waves, addiction, and recovery, exploring what surfing can teach us about the powerful undertow of addictive behaviors and the ways to swim free of them. 
   
  Addiction is arguably the dominant feature of contemporary life: sex, gambling, exercise, eating, shopping, Internet use—there's virtually no pleasurable activity that can't morph into a destructive obsession. For Americans under the age of fifty-five, the leading cause of death is drug overdose. But there is another side of addiction. 
  In some instances, the very activities that can lead to addiction can also lead out of it. As neurologists have recently discovered, surfing is a kind of study in the mechanism of addiction, delivering dopamine to the ""pleasure"" center of the brain and reshaping priorities and desire in a feedback loop of narrowing focus. Thad Ziolkowski knows this dynamic intimately. A lifelong surfer, he has been surrounded by addiction since his boyhood. In this unique, groundbreaking book, part addiction memoir, part sociological study, part spiritual odyssey, Ziolkowski dismantles the myth of surfing as a radiantly wholesome lifestyle immune to the darker temptations of the culture and discovers among the rubble a new way to understand and ultimately overcome addiction.  
  Combining his own story with insights from scientists, progressive thinkers and the experiences of top surfers and addicts from around the world, Ziolkowski shows how getting on a board and catching a wave is a unique and deeply instructive means of riding out of the darkness and back into the light. Yet while surfing is his salvation, its lessons can applied to other activities that can pull us free from the lethal undertow of addiction and save lives.

  Given that there’s such little margin for error in a submersible, many submarine losses remain sources of intrigue and mystery, and few rival the disappearance of the Soviet submarine K-129 in 1968. The Cold War was in high gear, and under the waters of the world’s oceans, Soviet and American submarines were in intense competition, pushing the boundaries of new technologies. Some of these submarines carried nuclear missiles that carried more destructive power than all the bombs dropped by the U.S. Army Air Force throughout World War II, including the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Other submarines, the hunter-killers, were designed to find and destroy these missile-carrying submarines. All of these submarines engaged in their activities while aiming to avoid detection by the other side, establishing a clandestine conflict that was carried out far from the gaze of the public but still strategically vital. If either side could gain a notable advantage, it could abruptly change the fragile balance of power. 
  	Both sides lost submarines in the 1960s, but when the Soviets lost K-129 in 1968, it triggered one of the most interesting episodes of the Cold War, and something that reads like the plot of a techno-thriller. A race developed between the Americans and Soviets to locate the wreck, and when the Americans found it, they realized the submarine sunk in one of the deepest parts of the ocean, far beyond the depths at which conventional divers or submarines could operate. As a result, the CIA, aided by eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes, clandestinely began a lengthy and incredibly expensive project to build equipment that might allow them to recover and examine parts of the sunken submarine.  
  	That operation, Project Azarian, is still controversial over 50 years later.

  The Encyclopedia of Out of Place...

  Out of Place Artifacts is a fascinating subject. There are too many of these unusual objects for them to be fakes. I’ve already written several books on this subject including “Strange Objects Which Should Not Exist”, “More Out of Place Objects”, and “A 300 Million Year Old Civilization Existed on Earth”. 
   In this book I’ve compiled everything I could find out about these unusual finds from my prior three books and additional research. 54 artifacts are covered in detail. 
   I’ve included all of this information except that specifically related to Aliens and UFOs since that information is in my books on those topics. 
   The information here is presented in five parts: 
   Part A: Artifacts Found in Historical Times 
  Part B: Very Ancient Objects to Millions of Years Old 
  Part C: A Civilization 300 Million Years Ago 
  Part D: Human Footprints in Rock 
  Part E: Artifacts of Undetermined Ages 
   I hope you find all of this information as interesting as I do since it changes our understanding of the history of our planet in incredible ways.

  Born of the Water Born of the...

  When the Holy Spirit reveled to the author, Ernest Martin, a veterinarian with a medical background, that the spiritual birth was identical to the physical birth, this revelation became a life-changing experience. People are always asking and seeking miracles. What is a greater miracle than a sperm uniting with an ovum (egg) and becoming a living cell with the potential to develop into a human being? That living cell (zygote) does not have any resemblance to a fetus. From the process of fertilization to the growth process, it is all programmed in the zygote to divide and multiply and to eventually liken to its mother or dad or a combination of both. 
  Just like when we receive Jesus as our Savior, we become a whole spiritual being in the image of God. We don't look or act much like Jesus at this stage. We look more like the zygote, but we are complete in Jesus. If we desire the sincere milk of the Word and then progress to the meat of the Word, we will grow up into the full stature of Jesus. This process is so well-defined in the physical birth process that we can see how we grow as we spend time in the Word that we may eventually look and act like Jesus Christ. 
  What a miracle and life-changing event to understand the growth process ordained and carried out by God Almighty.

  Love, Demystified – Feel Like Getting Hot Under the Sheets? New Book Shares Why Sex is Always on Our Minds 
  With sex holding such a prominent place in the human experience, Dr Jasmine's new book – Love, Demystified, takes readers on a unique journey into better understanding that there's so much more to love than what happens under the sheets, in the back of the car, or on the kitchen table. You will learn all about the timeless, and modern love mysteries: the soulmate, the muse, the dark passion, the one night stand, love as a drug and so much more. 
  When you are "vibing" with someone, you could feel great or you might sense that they are toxic, right? But did you know, that the 'vibes', or 'vibrations', are the actual tangible essence of the universe – that energy which connects all entities. Published on the 2d of July, 2024, Love Demystified by Dr Jasmine (who writes under a pseudonym) enthralls readers as she sets out her intriguing beliefs around how Love, God and electromagnetic energy are all one of the same thing; using school level physics to demonstrate her claims. 
  If you’ve had enough of ordering your next lover, like a pizza, from a dating App, or treating your ‘faulty’ partner like a washing machine (isn’t it so much easier to get a new one than to repair an old one?), then Love, demystified, will show you how to nurture a lifelong relationship that transcends the act of sex and opens participants up to the deepest and infinite layers of a person. Whilst also leading to the highest levels of lovemaking pleasures.  
   And as an accidental by product, embracing love in this way also results in you finding, and accomplishing, your life’s purpose.
