    This groundbreaking book invites world leaders to follow science, yet urges an open dialogue in the pursuit of truth, steering clear of Big Pharma's marketing propaganda. John delves into how the universe perpetually reinvents itself in a Steady State, eschewing the traditional big bang theory, through his father's concept of 'symmetrical impermanence' (SI). He posits that Jupiter was once a binary twin to the sun, which, after collapsing in a supernova, gave birth to the planets.
    
    John tackles Chalmers' 'hard' problem of consciousness using the wave-particle interchangeability (WPI) principle found in electromagnetic fields—the same principle that powers cell phones. He theorizes that the music of life emanates from primary energy as electromagnetic waves, which coalesce into a 'One Mind' comprising a nested hierarchy of sub-minds. According to his theory, our brains transform these waves into protons, constructing our bodies with conscious awareness and enabling us to experience and adapt to hostile environments.
    
    He advocates for a Campaign for Open Science and Medicine (COSAM) to foster a shift towards holistic thinking, aiming to safeguard humanity's future.

    Eurotrash - Why America Must...

    Why should America try to be more like countries that are worse in nearly every way?  
    Europe has been declining under the weight of its antiquated institutions, economic fatigue, moral anemia and cultural surrender. Yet American politicians, technocrats, academics, and pundits argue, with increasing popularity, that Americans should look across the Atlantic for solutions to the nation’s problems, including on issues like health care, the welfare state, immigration, and a bloated bureaucracy. 
    In Eurotrash, David Harsanyi argues we are looking in the wrong place. By every economic and societal measure, the United States is more tolerant than Europe. It is more welcoming of immigrants, but also far more successful at assimilating them. Minorities do far better in United States. Our economy is dominant. Only one European company appears in top 10 corporate powerhouses in the world and only seven in the top 50. Americans make up nearly half of the list. 
    Americans are far more charitable and happier than Europeans. Our slightly lower life expectancy and our slightly higher infant mortality rate are not a result of substandard care, but a statistical misunderstanding based on the fact we treat every life as one worth saving. 
    In this biting, fast-moving, and well-researched polemic, Harsanyi debunks prevailing notions about European supremacy and makes an unapologetic case for American exceptionalism, offering insight and reasoned arguments to counter current policy prescriptions.

    Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor (Kaiser) and King of Prussia, ruled from June 15, 1888, until his abdication on November 9, 1918, marking the end of the German Empire. His reign was tumultuous, characterized by grand ambitions and disastrous decisions that not only reshaped Germany but also contributed to the broader context of global conflict. Although Wilhelm's creation of a powerful navy and his drive to position Germany as a dominant world power earned him recognition, his erratic public statements and volatile foreign policy alienated many, making him a central figure in the lead-up to World War I. 
    Born in 1859 to Prince Frederick William of Prussia and Victoria, Princess Royal of the United Kingdom, Wilhelm II was part of a deeply interconnected European royal family. His mother, Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter, brought him into a web of political alliances that spanned several major European nations. Wilhelm’s father, Frederick III, briefly held the throne for only 99 days in 1888 before his untimely death, making it a year of remarkable transitions. Just months after his father’s passing, Wilhelm succeeded to the throne during what historians refer to as the "Year of the Three Emperors," as Wilhelm’s grandfather, Wilhelm I, had also died earlier that year.

    More than 5 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer's disease or a related form of dementia. By the year 2030, experts estimate that as many as 66 million people will be faced with this life-altering disease. These statistics impact millions of caregivers. Compared with all types of caregivers, those who assist someone with dementia experience the highest levels of burnout, depression, poor health, and premature death. A Dignified Life, Revised and Expanded offers hope and help. 
     
     
     
    Ten years ago, the first edition of A Dignified Life changed the way the caregiving community approached Alzheimer's disease by showing caregivers how to act as a Best Friend to the person. Firmly grounded in the latest knowledge about dementia, this expanded edition offers a wealth of tips and advice. 
     
     
     
    While medical treatment of the disease hasn't changed, our understanding and awareness of treating people in a more caring way has changed. With no cure, respectful care by effective and compassionate care partners is the only real "treatment" available. The Best Friends Approach is successful because it sustains people's connection to their world, their loved ones, and themselves. A Dignified Life shows how to bring dignity, meaning, and peace of mind to the lives of both those who have Alzheimer's and dementia and those who care for them.
