    This was the first book, the very first, to issue a warning about the biggest crisis in science and public health. The author began sounding the alarm as a newspaper publisher in the 80s. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. brought the book to the world's attention when he recommended it to his 600,000 followers on his Instagram account in April, 2020. America is now listening. 
    This little book is a chapter from The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up Volume Two, a book that combines the history of AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome with a trenchant political analysis of the science and scientists that got everything terribly wrong. 
    In his bestseller, The Real Anthony Fauci, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called Charles Ortleb, "Dr. Fauci's perennial Boswell." As the publisher and editor-in-chief of New York Native, he was the first person to devote a newspaper to the coverage of AIDS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and the careers of Robert Gallo and Anthony Fauci. Randy Shilts praised his newspaper's pioneering AIDS reporting in And the Band Played On. In Rolling Stone, David Black said New York Native deserved a Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the epidemic. 
    This book is the first book to conceptualize the medical and scientific corruption of the last four decades as a medical and scientific Ponzi scheme. It is a radical new way of looking at medical and scientific fraud that has been promoted and enabled for decades. There are ten elements that the author has identified in a medical and scientific Ponzi scheme that have hidden the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemic.

    Urbanization refers to the process by which an increasing proportion of a population comes to reside in urban areas, often transforming rural landscapes into bustling cities. It is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon that encompasses social, economic, cultural, and environmental changes. The rapid expansion of urban areas is one of the most defining features of modern society, reflecting humanity's growing tendency to cluster in cities for opportunities, convenience, and better access to resources. 
    Historically, urbanization began with the establishment of early agricultural settlements, which served as hubs for trade and governance. Over time, these settlements grew into cities as advancements in technology, transportation, and infrastructure facilitated their expansion. The Industrial Revolution, in particular, marked a pivotal moment in the history of urbanization, drawing large numbers of people into urban centers in search of work and prosperity. Today, urbanization continues at an unprecedented pace, driven by industrial growth, globalization, and population migration from rural to urban regions. 
    The scope of urbanization extends far beyond the mere growth of cities. It profoundly influences nearly every aspect of human life, from economic development to social interactions and environmental sustainability. Economically, cities serve as engines of growth, innovation, and creativity, offering concentrated markets, skilled labor, and access to advanced infrastructure. Socially, urban areas often promote cultural exchange and diversity, creating spaces where people from different backgrounds can interact and collaborate. However, this growth also comes with challenges, such as overcrowding, inequality, and the strain on public services and infrastructure.

    Somewhere between myths and hard facts you find Nome, poised also between yesterday and tomorrow. Drawing on his background in anthropology and an equal passion for history, Michael Engelhard surveys the seam that links two neighboring continents through the lens of one pivotal city. The region's legacy of millennia shines on pages enriched by this writer's recollections—from mammoths to Cold War monuments, from a spa turned orphanage, to cyclist miners and shaman hoards. Meet the explorers and adventurers, reindeer herders and hustlers, the dancers, drummers, dreamers, warriors, walrus-tusk carvers, and whalers, clergy, foragers, and photographers who shaped a place of conflicting visions as thoroughly as it shaped them.
