Зачем читать • Узнать, что произойдет со временем, долголетием, экологией, интернетом в ближайшие 10 лет. • Понять, как устроен ключевой механизм перемен и почему XXI столетие вместит в себя все предыдущие 20 тысяч лет технических изменений. • Подготовиться к главным вызовам и опасностям завтрашнего дня.

Take Your Medicine with a Pinch of Salt
Did you know that medicine was based on fantasy for two thousand years? Have you ever wondered why surgeons are not called doctor? Or how you tell the difference between a quack and physician? Do you know how medicine practiced before antibiotics or vaccinations? Or before doctors understood physiology? And why amazing medical breakthroughs seldom become part of clinical practice? <br />This collection of essays for the general reader tells with wry humour the surprising, unbelievable, sometimes horrifying story of the history of medicine spanning thousands of years from centuries before Hippocrates to the present day and asks whether our expectations of medicine are unrealistic. <br />Did you know that medicine was based on fantasy for two thousand years? <br />This collection of essays for the general reader tells with wry humour the surprising, unbelievable, and sometimes horrifying story of the history of medicine spanning thousands of years from centuries before Hippocrates to the present day and suggests our expectations of medicine have often been unrealistic.

A Simple Recipe for Stealing the Wealth of a Nation
What happened? How did it all go wrong? What can we do? Who is to blame? Will the madness ever stop? What will my children do? These are just a few of the questions that many Americans are asking themselves without any real good answers.
Confused, desperate, unaware, frustrated, afraid, angry, destitute, depressed, disheartened, bewildered, hopeless, these words describe what an ever growing number of Americans are feeling today when they think about their lives and their country.
If you are like most Americans, tired of the political speak, concerned about your future, frustrated by the constant confusion that best describe our current State of the Union, then A Simple Recipe for Stealing the Wealth of a Nation, is a book you cannot afford to pass up.
Written in part using satire, A Simple Recipe for Stealing the Wealth of a Nation delivers a unique insight using historical events while revealing to the reader how certain ingredients when infused and manipulated correctly into an economy will steal away a nation’s wealth while turning it into a debtor nation allowing a select few to accumulate massive profits.
While it is not the intent of this book to teach people how to reap huge profits while stealing the wealth of a nation, There is no better way to teach patriotic Americans how to prevent this by pulling back the veil and revealing these methods. Whether you are a Democrat, Republican, Independent, Libertarian or politically unaffiliated, this is our country and while things may seem dismal today, if we come together, understand real history, see things for what they are, teach our children and take action, there is hope for a very bright future for our nation.
United We Stand Divided We Fall
28 Minutes to Midnight
The moral cliff is fast-approaching.
We're well-aware of the dangerous moral cancers exposed in Thomas E. Mahon's previous work, «Radical Chemo»: Moral Justifications, Individualism, Relativism, Secularism, Fundamentalism and Moral Compartmentalization. So what is it that we're doing? We're hitting the brakes, right? Well, not quite.
Given how we're dealing with issues like the use of the N-word, the worship of Earth, raising brats and narcissists, predicting disaster through global warming, spending obscene amounts of money to elect our presidents and fostering the continuing conflict between science and religion, we're actually accelerating toward that cliff.
Take the plunge into «28 Minutes to Midnight».
Let's take a deep breath. Let's find common ground. Let's get our moral bearings.
Most of all, let's find that brake pedal.
Thomas E. Mahon is a 26-year educator. His previous works include «Radical Chemo» and «The Last Daughter». He lives in South Florida with his wife and three children.
