HATCHET GARY PAULSEN One BRIAN ROBESON stared out the window of the small plane at the endless green northern wilderness below. It was a small plane, a Cessna 406—a bush-plane—and the engine was so loud, so roaring and consuming and loud, that it ruined any chance for conversation. Not that he had much to say. […]
Seeking medical care whenever you are concerned is recommended by Moms on Call. Any time that you are concerned, or notice any symptoms, call your pediatrician’s office. Sometimes babies have discreet symptoms like a fever and at other times there is just something that you can’t explain; call it mother’s intuition or a nagging feeling […]
The How and Why of Generations In the Bay of Bengal between India and Myanmar lies North Sentinel, an island about the size of Manhattan. In 2018, a 26-year-old American paid a group of fishermen to take him there. He was never seen again. North Sentinel is the home of one of the last groups […]
hypocrisy and the illusion of forms; in other words, for having combated religious prejudices. Like Jesus, who was accused by the Pharisees of corrupting the people with his teachings, Socrates was also accused by the Pharisees of his time – since they have always existed in all epochs – for corrupting the youth by proclaiming […]
A SUPERORGANISM IS A single life-form made up of other living organisms. It would be easy to gloss over that short sentence of a dozen words, but it’s a big idea—as big as they come. Why? Just think about yourself for a moment. You are made up of cells, that is, living creatures. But you […]
THIS BOOK has been three years in the writing, although the authors have collaborated on research in this exciting new field, which brings quantum physics, biochemistry and biology together, for almost two decades. But when it comes to such a cross-disciplinary area of science as quantum biology, it is impossible ever to become expert enough […]
The Promise of the Art I remember how it was before penicillin. I was a medical student at the end of World War II, before the drug became widely available for civilian use, and I watched the wards at New York’s Bellevue Hospital fill to overflowing each winter. A veritable Byzantine city unto itself, Bellevue […]
herever you are on this planet, you’ve recently given some thought to leaving it. Space is looking more promising every day. There’s no political corruption on Mars, no war on the Moon, no juvenile jokes on Uranus. Surely space settlement presents the best chance since about 50,000 BC to try out something completely new and […]
It’s been less than two years since The Plant Paradox was published. In this very short time, I’ve seen and heard the results of dramatic reversals of diseases I once thought impossible to achieve without medical intervention. These are changes that we can observe quantitatively in blood tests, and qualitatively in the reports of thousands […]
f you ever saw the old movie Fiddler on the Roof, you know how warm and emotional Jewish families can be. They are always hugging, singing, dancing, laughing, and crying together. I come from the other kind of Jewish family. The culture of my upbringing could be summed up by the phrase “Think Yiddish, act […]
hese are terrible days. These are beautiful days. Somehow both realities feel inseparable in our minds now. We have the sense that something bad might happen, and has already happened. When we read the headlines, we do not shake our heads. We nod. Yes, we think. Of course that would happen. Our moods seem tight […]
Over the past ten years, I have had the privilege of authoring two #1 New York Times bestsellers on the topic of personal finance (Money: Master the Game and Unshakeable). They succeeded not because I am an expert in the field, but because I have one important thing… access! Over four decades of work as […]
