Karen Armstrong, a former nun, focuses on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, with insights into the work of Western history’s great theologians and philosophers.   Can humanity persist without some idea of God? Far from moving into an era of pure atheism, Armstrong believes that God as a construct is more crucial now than ever. God is not “dead,” God has not abandoned us, God merely shape-shifts to adapt to new contexts, whether that context is medieval agrarianism, nineteenth-century romanticism, or twenty-first-century post-modern techno-urbanism.   Armstrong’s in-depth examination of monotheism provides a foundation for the curious novice while not holding back on academic concepts and obscure but fascinating historical accounts.   The summary and analysis in this ebook are intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to a great work of nonfiction.

Alien Secrets: Powers Methods...

Scott Campbell

After writing four summary books about aliens, I decided to compile their most relevant content, with physicists’ recent insight concerning how they achieve their aerial and submerged acrobatics and high speeds, and other tricks, into a single full-length book.
Based on my four previous books, we can add this to the other top alien secrets to have our final list to explore in this book:
01 Life on Earth arose from alien genetically engineered DNA.
02 In addition to their spacecraft's astounding and mind-boggling motion, aliens have other surprising skillsets as the ultimate scientists. Aliens are experts at cloning. They can erase selected memories in Humans, install material implants, communicate telepathically, shut down or manipulate electronic systems like missiles, temporarily paralyze, beam people or objects into their ships, and control spacetime through the mastery of physics at the quantum level. They likely apply quantum AI and quantum computers to achieve their technological prowess.
03 Based on ancient history and myths, aliens influenced our first civilizations and ours now, as well as everything in between. They were perceived as gods, which led to the Abrahamic religions that replaced ruling councils of aliens with the concept of a monotheistic god.
04 Some aliens have expanding hybridization programs with Humans stemming from abductions.
05 Some aliens have shown hostility regarding our proliferation of nuclear weapons and space exploration, particularly the moon.
06 Some aliens continue to plot to infiltrate our populations and control Earth.
Takeaway: Studying current alien technology and skillsets and funding relevant research leads modern Humans to mastery of the same and will help guarantee our survival as a species.

The Global War on Tobacco -...

Heather Wipfli

“A major contribution not just to tobacco control research but also to research on global governance and public health . . . thorough [and] compelling.” —Frank J. Chaloupka IV, Institute for Health Research and Policy, University of Illinois–Chicago 
 
As the era of globalization progressed, the tobacco industry capitalized on its elements—including trade liberalization, foreign direct investment, and global communications—to expand into countries where effective tobacco control programs were not in place. As a consequence, tobacco became the leading cause of preventable death in the world, killing more people each year than HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. 
 
In the mid-1990s, a committed group of public health professionals and institutions sought to challenge the tobacco industry’s expansion by negotiating a binding international law under the auspices of the World Health Organization. The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC)—the first collective global response to the causation of avoidable chronic disease—was one of the most quickly ratified treaties in United Nations history. In The Global War on Tobacco, Heather Wipfli tells the engaging story of the FCTC, from its start as an unlikely civil society proposal to its enactment in 178 countries as of June 2014. Wipfli also reveals how globalization offers anti-tobacco advocates significant cooperative opportunities to share knowledge and address cross-border public health problems. 
 
The book—the first to delve deeply into the origin and development of the FCTC—seeks to advance understanding of how non-state actors, transnational networks, and international institutionalization can impact global governance for health. Case studies from a variety of diverse high-, middle-, and low-income countries provide real-world examples of the success or failure of tobacco control. Written with public health professionals and students in mind, The Global War on Tobacco is a fascinating look at how international relations is changing to respond to the modern global marketplace and protect human health.
