Twisted Fate
Twisted Fate Synopsis Linda Boroff lindaboroff2927@gmail.com Set in the late 2020s, the novel follows the struggles of young Silicon Valley worker Zoe Ohrbach and her boyfriend Brian Snyder, amidst an outbreak of a new prion (“Mad Cow”) disease that gradually turns people into psychopaths. Prions, discovered in 1982, are not alive like bacteria or viruses, but are instead twisted bits of protein in the brain. They cause “Mad Cow” or in humans the horrifying variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD). Prion diseases are incurable and have extremely long incubation periods—even decades. There is no vaccine. “Prions are like an enemy within, the alien in some B-movie that transforms people to an evil version,” says prion biologist Edward Hoover of Colorado State University. “The immune system doesn’t see them coming.” This particular prion has been spreading unsuspected for decades.

Unfolding: Slow Down, Drop In, Dare More
Unfolding is a book women want to share with each other — mothers, daughters, sisters and friends — because it reflects and leads back to their own wise self. Unfolding speaks to a woman’s heart not her intellect. Some books are about information. For example, they tell you how far it is to the moon and the circumference of it. Some books are how to books. They tell you how to reach the moon. Metaphorically speaking, Unfolding is about falling in love with the moon. It speaks directly to your experience bringing you into the moment rather than telling you “how to do it,” it takes you there.

How do we get to be who we are? We all have a story. I thought I knew mine…poor kid with a dysfunctional childhood made good, combat veteran, high tech CEO. Except that I accidentally discovered the shock of my life in 1995 (at age 49)…my genetics weren’t what I thought. “Dad” wasn’t biological. I was “misattributed” , a word totally unfamiliar to me. My birth certificate and DNA didn’t jive. And I learned an added shocker…2 to 4 percent of us (some experts believe that number is much higher) have joined this genealogical bewilderment club. How can that be? Not adopted or a product of an extra marital affair, I learned that, like me, over a million people were “semi-adopted” in a hush-hush process where parents were fully complicit…artificial insemination by an anonymous donor.

What if…? THE FANTASTIC MULTIVERSE OF Leonardo da Vinci – MYSTERIOUS MACHINES, CODES and DIGITAL ART: Dreams, fantasies and new works of art … manuscripts and works of Leonardo da Vinci
What if the Mona Lisa was a marble statue? What if Leonardo had carved David in place of Michelangelo? If “another Leonardo”, in another universe, had studied an alien dragonfly, how would his design of the flying machine have changed? A fantastic digital artistic journey, curious, strange and incomprehensible works, projects and machines. Hundreds of unpublished fantastic illustrations inspired by the history and manuscripts of Leonardo da Vinci, a tribute to Leonardo from the digital age. If there was the possibility of a multiverse, an infinite possibility of worlds to explore with the imagination, why not imagine the projects of other Leonardo da Vinci. This fantastic, irreverent and crazy game is also useful for understanding the real Leonardo. What was, for example, the Last Supper? Was “story” true? No, because, the scene painted by Leonardo represented an imaginary Jesus, not a historical one, in an invented environment, painted by the artist to create a new “visual story”. I hope these “visual stories” help stimulate the imagination and creativity of the viewer. Curiosity will also lead you to discover Leonardo’s real manuscripts and how much fascination they still represent for everyone.
What They Want Us To Know: Messages of Hope, Unity and Meaning from the Animal Kingdom
What They Want Us To Know: Messages of Hope, Meaning and Unity from the Animal Kingdom is a simple yet profound book that decodes powerful messages of tolerance, acceptance and unity from members of the animal kingdom.

This book can help each of us expand our capacity to give and receive love.” The premise of the book is simple: to find unity and connection in all living beings. A culmination of McWhorter’s lifetime connection to animals, the book shares conversations with both wild and domestic animals including an Orca, Rattlesnake, Horse, Owl, Dog, and more. The book also teaches readers how to incorporate these messages into their daily lives in order to walk with more awareness and begin to see all life as worthy and valuable.

Whispers and Wailings: Untold Stories Of Migrant Workers In The Middle East
The book “Whispers and Wailings” is based on eight years of research. The author, Prof. Khan Mosleh, has been in various countries in the Middle East since January 1, 2012, for employment and teaching. In this long journey, he has come in contact with thousands of Bangladeshi immigrant workers and heard the tragic history of their lives. Although the workers are termed ‘remittance fighters,’ they are neglected on their own country’s soil. In the Middle East, they are called ‘Miskin.’ These heroic workers sacrifice their happiness for 12 to 14 hours daily and seven days a week or some 29 days a month and bring smiles to the faces of the country and family. When the author came in contact with Hossein, a housemaid in a neighboring house, in 2016, he came to know the details of his daily life. After seeing Hossein up close and knowing his unknown life story, a latent desire arose in the author’s mind that these workers need to tell the unknown chapter to the world. He started recording different people’s words little by little, which continued until now. The book tells the migrant workers’ life stories and describes the Middle East’s geographical and social aspects to acquaint the readers.
Why We Hate: Understanding the Roots of Human Conflict
An insightful and probing exploration of the contradiction between humans’ enormous capacity for hatred and their evolutionary development as a social species Why We Hate tackles a pressing issue of both longstanding interest and fresh relevance: why a social species like Homo sapiens should nevertheless be so hateful to itself. We go to war and are prejudiced against our fellow human beings. We discriminate on the basis of nationality, class, race, sexual orientation, religion, and gender. Why are humans at once so social and so hateful to each other? In this book, prominent philosopher Michael Ruse looks at scientific understandings of human hatred, particularly Darwinian evolutionary theory. He finds the secret to this paradox in our tribal evolutionary past, when we moved ten thousand years ago from being hunter-gatherers to agriculturalists–a shift that paved the way for modern civilization. Simply put, as Ruse paraphrases, “our modern skulls house Stone Age minds.” Combining rigorous argument with an engaging and accessible style, Ruse makes frequent use of historical examples, examining the history of two World Wars, and the U.S. offensive against Iraq. He also gives many pertinent and up-to-date examples of prejudice, including the significance of Brexit and the systemic racism that lead to the Black Lives Matter movement. Ruse pays special attention to egregious cases of hatred, such as the treatment of Jews by the Third Reich, and to pressing contemporary issues, including the status of women. Ruse concludes with constructive suggestions for ways in which we might reconcile the contradictory aspects of our nature. Why We Hate will be of interest and value to a wide range of readers interested in the role of human nature in current events, as well as to readers interested in philosophy, the life sciences, social sciences (especially anthropology and archaeology), and beyond.
