This book examines the claims of human-induced global warming made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) using proper journalistic and investigative techniques. It explains how it was a premeditated, orchestrated deception, using science to impose a political agenda. It fooled a majority-including most scientists. This book uses the same approach used in investigative journalism. It examines the Who, What, Where, When, Why and How.Dr. Ball served nine years in the Canadian Air Force before obtaining a B.A. (Hons) from the University of Winnipeg, an M.A. from the University of Manitoba and a PhD in Historical Climatology from Queen Mary College, the University of London, England. He taught for 25 years at the University of Winnipeg and as an adjunct professor at the University of Manitoba.

Tim came to Canada from England in 1957 at the age of 17. He worked in Toronto and Sudbury until 1960 when he joined the RCAF as an Aircrew Radio Operator. He was trained in Winnipeg, where he met and married Marty, who was a student nurse at St. Boniface Hospital. Tim became interested in the climate while on Search and Rescue in the north out of Winnipeg. He got out of the Airforce in September 1968 and went to University. He received his BA Honours at the University of Winnipeg, (United College), and his Masters (Climatology) at the University of Manitoba. He taught as a lecturer at the University of Winnipeg in 1972 and completed his PhD, (Climatology) at Queen Mary College at the University of London, England. Tim spent the better part of his career trying to convince the world that 'Anthropogenic Global Warming' was a man-made hoax. He fought lawsuits, death threats, website hackings, lies and attacks, too numerous to mention. A sense of humour unequaled. Generous to a fault.

Clarence Darrow has long been an icon for many lawyers-the "Attorney for the Damned," as he was dubbed by journalist Lincoln Steffens. But the Darrow legend doesn't square with the facts. Blowhard pulls back the curtain and exposes the real Darrow-the Darrow who believed the ends justified the means and that justice was nothing more than "a pattern according to our own personal conceptions." The Darrow who kidnapped and intimidated witnesses. The Darrow who bribed jurors. The Darrow who believed truth was expendable in pursuit of his own goals.You'll never be able to look at Clarence Darrow the same way again.

As the honored guest at a Hong Kong medical conference, neurosurgeon Lucas McCrae prepares to demonstrate a surgical procedure by removing a cloth covering a cadaver head and is overwhelmed to see the face of his lifelong friend, Andy Baer, staring back at him. Stunned, McCrae races back to Seattle to discover Andy missing. As he digs into his friend's disappearance, suspicion grows that he was "harvested" by the owner of a legitimate funeral business who makes a fortune dealing body parts for medical research. Teaming up with an unlikely pair-a beautiful, hardnosed female detective and a gang member whose family was victimized by the body parts ring-McCrae exposes a macabre web of corruption. Wyler's Dead Ringer is the quintessential, breath-stealing medical thriller.

Eight hundred years from now and a hundred light years from Earth, at the periphery of a vast interstellar civilization, humanity itself is changing-each individual injected at birth with 'nanites,' marvels of nanoscale technology that function in ways that are indispensable for almost every important transaction in life. This nexus between biology and technology is at the point of transforming the core of what it means to be human, with the next generation of nanites to impinge on the very thoughts of Homo sapiens. Not everyone acquiesces to this vision of what humanity is becoming. The Free Range-at the far fringes of the colonized Spiral Arm and settled by individualists, free-thinkers, humanists-opposes this biomechanization of the spirit, to the death. Their struggle to preserve their own identity, their faiths, to prevent the hivemind from overcoming their culture as well, has given rise to a terrific resistance which, unfortunately for the free rangers, is ending badly. One young free ranger, Enguerrand Duprey, has been abducted and compelled to act as bounty hunter for one of the most powerful men among hundreds of billions. The impossible realm into which Enguerrand is sent and the unfathomable quarry he is forced to seek sets off a series of events that strains the very fabric of the cosmos itself, daring to put effect before cause and setting into motion the most frightening event imaginable, one that will change not one universe, but two, and exposing something age-changing about the very nature of nature itself.

For centuries and millennia, in cultures throughout the world, what Jack Kerwick and Al Ridenhour here refer to as the persona of "the Warrior-Scholar" was extolled as an ideal of human excellence to be embodied by those upon whom the social order depended for its preservation and success. This ideal has largely been lost, and lost particularly to the contemporary Western world. It is the authors' contention that the West would be well-served by restoring this ideal to the pride of place that it once enjoyed.While it's undoubtedly true that, in the vast majority of instances, the Warrior-Scholar ideal was equated with an ideal of manhood, from early on in its recorded history, no less a figure than Plato argued for the inclusion of women among the guardian class in his ideal Republic. The authors do not intend to second guess Plato. Rather, they make it clear that while the Warrior-Scholar ideal certainly offers an ideal of manhood, it offers females an ideal worth pursuing as well. The martial dispositions of the warrior, the intellectual strengths of the scholar, and the seamless combination of these two sets of virtues in one and the same person are equally available to men and women alike.Kerwick and Ridenhour don't presume to offer an historical analysis of either the rise or demise of the Warrior-Scholar throughout the ages. What their essays supply us with is a vision, a moral vision, and some guidance for how, here and now, individuals who are interested in manifesting this vision in their own lives can begin doing so.

Renowned neurosurgeon, Jon Ritter, is on the verge of a medical breakthrough that will change the world. His ground-breaking surgical treatment-using transplanted non-human stem cells-is set to eradicate the scourge of Alzheimer's disease and give hope to millions.But, when the procedure is slated for testing, everything comes to an abrupt and terrifying halt. Ritter's colleague is gunned down and Ritter himself is threatened by a radical anti-abortion group that not only claims responsibility, but promises more of the same.Faced with a dangerous reality, but determined to succeed, Ritter turns to a long-time colleague to conduct a clandestine clinical trial in Seoul, Korea. But after successful trials, Ritter and his allies are thrown into a horrifying nightmare scenario: the trial patients were murdered and Ritter is the number one suspect. Aided by his beautiful lab assistant, Yeonhee Lee, Ritter flees the country and becomes the target of an international manhunt involving Korean Police, the FBI, zealous fanatics, and a coldly efficient assassin.

What's wrong with a miniscule of malice, a dash of detestation, or a small helping of hatred?Well, a lot.But, according to journalist and activist KM Patten, hatred can also have benefits. In the age of social media, everyone has the opportunity to express their own favorite flavor of hate. The question before us, then, is how best to channel that most primitive of emotions to bring about positive change.Originally published in 2019, Patten's essay is a response to CB Robertson's book In Defense of Hatred and uses Robertson's arguments as a springboard to discuss a variety of topics including religion, war, intersectionality and "systems of power."

History shows popular beliefs about environmental hazards and health risks-whether alarmist or dismissive-are often wrong. Leaded paint never protected human health. Acid mine drainage never protected us against Typhoid fever. Sulfur dioxide never prevented blindness or cleansed lungs. Banning straws won't alleviate oceanic plastic pollution. Government programs for re-powering with alternative energy won't arrest global climate change.This thought-provoking book argues that we should "Hold It" long enough to follow facts and science before accepting environmental misconceptions.

When progressive rock band King Crimson released Starless and Bible Black in 1974, very few recognized the astonishing virtuosity captured in the album's 11-minute instrumental capstone, "Fracture." Three minutes into the piece, guitarist Robert Fripp begins playing a quiet, non-stop barrage of notes called a "moto perpetuo," an Italian term for "perpetual motion." Fripp's moto perpetuo requires intense right-hand string-skipping, and picking capabilities only a handful of guitarists around the world possess.Musician Anthony Garone was challenged by his father to learn Fracture in 1998. As a 16-year-old who practiced six or more hours every day, he could not understand why he could play other technical pieces of music, but not Fracture. Over the years, he published blog posts and videos about his efforts. Garone kept working in isolated frustration until he enrolled in a week-long guitar instruction course led by Fripp in rural Mexico in 2015. That week was transformative.It was in Mexico that Garone learned the mechanics of Fripp's very unique right-hand technique. To properly play Fracture, Garone had to re-learn how to play guitar, sit, stand, and breathe. It would also require meditation and a new way of using his body.Following many months of remedial guitar practice, Garone re-trained himself to play guitar. In 2016, he was finally able to play small pieces of Fracture without any pain or frustration. He documented his progress, work, and learnings on his Make Weird Music YouTube channel in a series called Failure to Fracture. The videos garnered hundreds of thousands of views and praise from Fripp himself, who wrote "Fracture is impossible to play, cf. Anthony Garone."Failure to Fracture (the book) captures Garone's transformative 22-year journey. The story begins with his time as a teenager developing a friendship with guitar hero Steve Vai in 1996. It ends with video performances of both Fracture and the even more difficult "sequel" composition, FraKctured, written and performed in Fripp's own New Standard Tuning. It is a book about achieving the impossible, overcoming one's limitations, and retraining the mind and body.

This is a true storybook adventure about us-you and me-along with countless other truly exceptional Homo sapiens who made our lives possible: So it''s about people who invented languages, cultures and cooperative societies; who sought spiritual and scientific understanding of the world and Universe; who created marvelous arts, architectures, tools and machines inconceivable to previous generations; and who continue to surprise us with future transformative discoveries and inventions that remain unimaginable today.The story-our story-begins a very long time ago, 13.7 billion years ago, about 5.3 billion before our planet was born 4.5 billion years ago. It then took about another 4 billion years for Earth to become teeming with simple, single-celled organisms that eventually evolved into you and me.Within only the last ten thousand years some of those Homo sapiens ancestors of ours invented agriculture, battled and domesticated larger animals for food and clothing, competitively warred against each other and Neanderthal hunter-gatherers, established settlements, cities and empires, built great pyramids and cathedrals, formulated complex cultures and laws, developed advanced scientific methods and philosophies, and composed inspirational literature, music and sonnets.Some inventive and adventuresome Sapiens contemplated the architecture and workings of a celestial Universe and applied that knowledge to guide voyages of discovery, trade, conquest and migration to extend domains and dominions.Others-within little more than the last century-have harnessed the power of lightning and atoms, have mastered flight, have traveled many times faster than the speed of sound, have transmitted information from everywhere to everywhere else via orbital satellites, have walked on the Moon, and have conceived artificial brains that can already outsmart their human creators.After all, if humans can invent machines which are increasingly smarter than we are, where does this lead? Are we in a sense "playing God" in a way that will render human reasoning obsolete?Future human historians-should any survive-will determine whether our truly exceptional creativity led us to outsmart ourselves.
