Paperback. Condición: New. Combining evidence and theory, this book questions whether plant life and creatures could all evolve from a few cells, all with their own individual DNA, each with the intelligence of a thousand computers built in. It discusses the Big Bang theory, where our world began, the beauty of creation and all the world's elements. What happened 6,000 years ago that dramatically changed our world? In 1,500 years, humankind developed the ability not only to record history, but went from living in caves to building palaces. Something must have caused this change! Could it be that God created a new Adam and Eve? Are Judaism, Christianity and Islam based on myth or reality? Are we a unique combination of mind, body and spirit? And finally, what is history, and how does it shape our interpretation of the world around us?

Hardback. Condición: New. Corrina Holyoake Ilustrador. This is a fun and educational book that is part of a series of three that have been written in rhythm and rhyme to enable children to become familiar with vocabulary relating to animals: vocabulary that is fast disappearing from our English language because it is not generally being taught or learned or used."Animal Homes" uses rhyme with bright, colourful illustrations to introduce words such as sett, drey, holt and vespiary relating to homes of badgers, squirrels, otters and wasps. It encourages children to develop their vocabulary through literacy and learning. The two other books in the series do the same with gender of animals, (Animal Families) and collective nouns for birds, (A Flamboyance of Flamingos). All three books were written to encourage words that are part of our heritage to remain within our children's reach.

Paperback. Condición: New. These observations are based upon the premise that, with war having been a constant feature of humankind's evolution, a nation's security and prosperity are inextricably linked with its military strength. To illustrate the point, the author compares the revered historical cities of Venice and Aleppo. Of the two, Venice benefited from having the most advanced military capacity of mediaeval times and thus enjoyed prolonged stability while Aleppo constantly suffered at the hands of more powerful enemies. Japan more closely resembles the latter. In the postwar era, it is the states equipped with nuclear weapons that have dictated the balance of power. Indeed, the four countries of most significance to Japan's present security are its ally the United States and the hostile or potentially hostile China, Russia and North Korea - all of them nuclear-armed. As the ultimately fruitless meetings between North Korean leader Kim Jong Il and former US President Donald Trump illustrate, North Korea has absolutely no intention of giving up its nuclear and other advanced armaments. But even if it were to do so, the more menacing threat to Japan comes from China. With its militarisation of the South China Sea, its aggressive intentions towards Taiwan, its provocative behaviour around the Senkaku (Diaoyu) islands, its relentless military expansion and its determination to replace America as the regional hegemon, China represents an undoubtedly grave danger to Japan. The author proposes a two-pronged strategy. Firstly, Japan should construct a network of nuclear shelters sufficient in scale and number to protect its people - particularly in the populous urban areas that would probably be targeted by the enemy. Secondly, Japan should join NATO and avail itself of the protection afforded by American nuclear warheads and bombs while preparing itself for war. However, if joining NATO turned out to be unfeasible, Japan should instead divert the resources currently allocated to maintaining the US military presence in the country to developing its own atomic warheads and bombs as well as submarines equipped with nuclear missiles. Despite the received wisdom that Japan is forbidden by its constitution from having nuclear weapons, the author points out that the issue has been raised by various administrations in the past going as far back as that of Prime Minister Kishi Nobosuke in 1957. Moreover, the frequent port calls by US submarines and aircraft carriers laden with atomic weapons make a mockery of the Three Non-Nuclear Principles that Japan supposedly observes. With the US-Japan Security Alliance offering absolutely no guarantee of protection, the author sees no impediment to Japan abrogating it and embarking on its own nuclear weapons programme. In the postwar period, a number of countries have succeeded in developing such weapons and it is perfectly possible for Japan to do likewise. In conclusion, the author foresees a situation in which China succeeds in s.

Paperback. Condición: New. "To have been given the gift of poetry is my greatest honor. I've given others a voice in a life where we are taught not to speak. My silences will echo through the infinite".  This book was built from the words I wrote to help me find solace in a time when all I had was paper and pen. I turned the hurt I was feeling into something that can be shown, to be understood in the only way I knew how. As a lifeline, or simply a release, I used a pen to tell my story. This book is filled with my hardest goodbyes, my most welcome hellos, simple recollections of times past and a telling of a more hopeful future. There are reflections and silhouettes of stories that most people can find in their own lives, and my aim is to help you find some comfort in my ability to share that story; in times when you yourself might be unable to do that. Let these pages be a reflection of growth, of healing and of change; I hope you see a little piece of yourself in this book, as I have discovered many parts of myself whilst writing.
