Bara Cohen grew up in a non-practicing Jewish home, was a child prodigy with an unusual love of plants, but now, at the age of twenty-one, is the youngest professor of physics at Yale University in America, and a bordering atheist. And yet, Bara wanted to believe that there is more to life than mere scientific facts. Facts, he knew, which often must be adjusted as new discoveries are made. At the age of fourteen Bara had an unexpected vision which made him fear for his sanity, but rather resulted in a change of studies, from botany to physics. A call from Michael, an older friend who used to study botany with him, led to them going to Israel, where, in a most unusual manner, Bara came across a treasure buried in the side of a riverbank. It was an ancient ring with an inscription in an archaic form of the already archaic Paleo-Hebrew on the inside. This ring with its unusual inscription would put Bara on an exhilarating journey discovering the amazing hidden mystery of the Story of Creation in Bereisheet of the Jewish Torah, or Genesis 1 in the Christian Holy Bible. Thanks to the ring Bara found, he, together with Doctor Abdiel Ben-Ezra, a Messianic-Jew, and head of Archaeology at Jerusalem Museum, and later joined by Shesh Yamim, a student of Doctor Ben-Ezra, found a completely new way of looking at the Story of Creation, which left them breathtakingly stunned right from the start. Bara's name means "he (meaning the masculine God) created, or creating," and Bara ended up where you never thought he'd be...!

This interesting essay, developed with a philosophical approach, has the advantage of crossing and taking inspiration from various disciplines for the understanding of some very topical contemporary phenomena. Analyzing some authors of classical Western philosophy and comparing them with other thinkers from other geographical areas (among them some intellectuals of Islamic current), the author confronts the reader with a great reflection on how we see the world today, often influenced by the powerful communication weapon represented by the WEB. Through the use of simple examples, it will be almost natural to understand that phenomena such as extremism (described as a blatant phenomenon against the difficulties of life and the problems of societies), common sense, justice, populism are innate in man's ability to relate to each other, emerging in a sort of sense a common destiny of human beings.

Happy Moments, is a collection of small stories that apparently seem to be disconnected. But Connor, Corbet, Eric, Gabriela, Ingrid, Jake, Lawrence, Lea and Sheyenne, share a common value: their family ties and friendship, that are so important in the growth of a person. These characters, reflecting the experience and the background of the Author, do not care about physical appearance, but live and coexist with the security that even a flaw can hide a special ability, a personal genius, in a sense the acceptance of ourselves.

This psychological thriller is inspired by true stories. An extremely brave woman finds herself in a challenging dilemma. Facing mental health issues, she needs to get out of a noxious environment. Ezra is a happy young woman who hopes to one day meet Prince Charming. You know, the one who is handsome, polite, brave, romantic, looking for his true love! Shortly after her wedding, she is quickly disillusioned. She finds out he is nothing of a prince. He is somehow linked to a secret society. People who are in close contact with this group have shown similar strange behaviors. The symptoms vary from memory loss, confusion, fatigue, mental breakdown and panic attacks. They all experienced intense fear. What happened? When Ezra turns to her prince for help, she soon discovers she is in for a long ride. Worried about her children, and their safety at stake, she must make a difficult decision. Stay and maintain a rich lifestyle, and suffer, or leave but fight. As Aristotle said, he who has overcome his fears will truly be free. Short sentences, short paragraphs, for easy reading. With a mixture of action and reflections in the minds of the aggressors (who all have devils names) and victims, The Silent Force references some actual cases of honor crimes, strange syndromes such as the so-called "Havana Syndrome", and murders by poisoning which are chilling. It is also an incredible message of hope for anyone caught in the clutches of a domineering family, victim of domestic violence, or in any toxic relationship. A thriller to read, with a single mantra: There is always a way!

Is it still possible to write something new and valuable about the Revelation? The subject of Revelation has always been an intriguing one for both believers and non-believers who, for centuries, have devoted themselves to studying and examining it. Consequently, many scholars have shared their view about it but, almost all of them, appear to be in contrast with one another. Indeed, never in time existed a continuous interpretation as every reader approaches the text from a distinct perspective. Nonetheless, it has always been evident that the key to Revelations lies within the pages of the Holy Scriptures. With this notion in mind, The Book For Our Time! - a translation of the original manuscript published in 1872 - was written in order to research and understand along with readers, to find the true end and fulfilment of Revelation and, in so doing, bring a sense of purpose to those who read it.

We leave to the reader the fantasy of discovering growth and catharsis, with that bittersweet taste of asking oneself: who are we really in the turbulence of Love? Is the Heart really a Liar?

In this intellectually seducing highly introspective erotic novel and existential testament Cosmin Stefan Georgescu takes us on the life's journey of a covert Alpha Male (but not only) exploring the multiplicity of the human psyche and labyrinthine spectrum of manly desires from the coming-of-age phase to the young self-aware libertine adventurer to the finally disenchanted mature man conscious of his own and of the human nature limits.In his new ingenuously open-hearted literary journey, he makes peace with his own contradictions and gives a compassionate look at the complexities of human nature establishing a fine balance between self-awareness, narcissistic contemplation and objective observation of detailed reality.In his novel women's bodies and intimate body parts and diversified heterosexual interaction become poetry and source of endless inspiration.This is a rare must-read for those not afraid to wander into forbidden realms of the senses and to spiral cerebral journeys enriched by ponderings and sexual depiction of the most intrinsic analytical nature.Cosmin Stefan Georgescu Born in Romania, in 1971. From an early age he was fascinated by words. He liked listening to his parents reading him bedtime stories, he used to learn a lot of poems by heart and recite them proudly.

A lot.Reading this book, we soon find ourselves floating in a complex stream of consciousness featuring cosmic journeys, epiphanies, cold wars fought online with ex-girlfriends, and a good dose of self-sabotage.
