Unravel the myth of a singular life purpose ingrained in religious teachings and societal notions
"A valuable contribution to the reflection on the relationship between science and religion, presenting very sound arguments with abundant documentation and a casual style that makes for an enriching and gratifying read." --Fernando Sols, professor of condensed matter physics, Complutense University of Madrid Here is the book you need to challenge atheists and agnostics to defend their ideologies logically and rationally and to fortify your own beliefs. In this distinctive book, which draws from all fields of science, José Carlos González-Hurtado presents a preponderance of empirical evidence for theism in a way that you can easily understand and explains how atheism twists reality to justify its view by "selective skepticism." This thoroughly documented incisive work will strengthen your view of the existence of God, regardless of your beliefs about evolution or lack of religious affiliation. González-Hurtado explains how the majority of mathematicians and scientists who are remembered for remarkable discoveries in mathematics, physics, quantum mechanics, chemistry, cosmology, biology, and more were theists -- and he provides many of their accounts. In these enlightening pages, you will find: How the Second Law of Thermodynamics, cited by Albert Einstein as the most important, points to God Answers about the Big Bang Theory, evolution, and other much-debated questions How NASA explorers confirmed the standard cosmological argument Ways in which mathematical theorems, statistics, and probabilities indicate God's existence Twenty constants that allow us to exist, and seven aspects of St. Anselm's ontological argument for God How St. Augustine's words were verified by scienceIn addition, González-Hurtado illustrates why string theory and multiverses are best left for Hollywood movies, how verified results in cosmic microwave background and other observations verify the creation of the universe, and how multiple attempts to support the "theory of the bouncing universe" are disproved.Although the science behind a Necessary Being is irrefutable, a small but vocal number of scientists refuse to accept the evidence. Some oppressive regimes have gone so far as to persecute or kill those who espouse cosmology, but Hurtado exposes these crimes and debunks their illogical thinking. You will learn the difference between creationism and Intelligent Design and what it really means to live by Darwinian laws. As even Stephen Hawking admitted, "The universe has not always existed; on the contrary, the universe, and time itself, had a beginning with the Big Bang."

"There are tennis courts everywhere in the world, and Nick Pachelli has curated two hundred of the most beautiful and significant ones out there, from Arthur Ashe and Wimbledon to the stunning dusty red clay courts of the Tennis Club Argentino in Buenos Aires to the Il San Pietro, tucked into the magical cliffs of Positano, Italy. The Tennis Court is a stunning visual salute to the tennis court as not only a sporting destination, but a cultural gathering ground shared around the world. Through breathtaking photography and brief descriptions of each court, the book will take readers through the history, architecture, and the experience of being at each of the courts, for example, surface materials and what it's like to play on the crisp grass courts of the All England Club or watching the masters on red clay in Monte Carlo. Or how it feels to watch a match at the Roy Emerson Arena in Gstaad, nestled at the base of the Swiss Alps, or the Il San Pietro Positano, tucked into the rocky coastline of Southern Italy, both courts set against stunning vistas and dramatic backgrounds. The Tennis Court will appeal to students of the game, avid travelers, design enthusiasts, aspiring adventurers, and players, alike, whether stored on a shelf, in an overhead bin, or tucked inside a racquet bag"--
The country is in chaos. Everywhere you look, it seems America has lost its collective mind. This mass formation psychosis has disconnected the public from the truth and each other. Anxiety is a pandemic, and few have little faith in any of our institutions, not knowing what to believe. Our constitutional protections as citizens are under attack. The situation we find ourselves in is not a result of a miscalculation but a planned deconstruction of the country by our enemies. This attack has been largely carried out with weapons of misinformation and disinformation from the media, our government, social media, and nongovernmental organizations. The citizenry of this country must regain a natural skepticism and question everything, resisting the temptation to trust the government to do everything for us. We must restore our mental autonomy and ability to think for ourselves instead of being told what to think. America's Systemic Psychosis provides the diagnosis of our problem, explains how the current psychosis and disconnect from the truth has come to pass, and the steps we all need to take to get our minds back, finding sanity and stability once again.

The beautiful Brentwood area of Contra Costa County is the oldest continuously populated community in California inland from the great coastal centers. Californios eschewed this challenging portion of the Central Valley, so pioneering physician John Marsh established a permanent settlement here in 1837 at his Rancho Los Meganos. Soon, the burgeoning viniculture, wheat, orchard, and cattle operations attracted many Gold Rush miners back to their original agricultural callings, now in the California Delta. The 1860s arrival of British agribusiness concern Balfour Guthrie Investment Company soon established the largest grain-export and fruit-packing venture in the West. Brentwood Township, established in 1878 and named for Marsh's ancestral home in England, includes some of the state's most bountiful land. The region fostered the greatest wheat production west of the Mississippi River during the 19th century. Carol A. Jensen, author of Arcadia Publishing's Byron Hot Springs, The California Delta, and East Contra Costa County, presents here in vintage photography the best of Brentwood, culled from local archives and collections. Combined with Jensen's prose, these images showcase Brentwood's progression from rural beginnings as an agricultural stronghold to the modern city of houses, shops, schools, and places of worship we know today.
The history of Cherry Hills Village is about the trailblazers, settlers, visionaries, and others who came to Colorado from disparate places and backgrounds with their dreams in hand and a vision of a life in the Rocky Mountains. This cast of characters created a narrative of westward expansion--a saga of migration, discovery, opportunity, and hope. Here, natives and newcomers raised families, started businesses, created a city, and established multigenerational legacies. For millennia, the area has been continuously inhabited by different cultures, including prehistoric and Indigenous peoples, followed by European immigrants. Early and more recent residents alike knew that there was something special about the place that would become Cherry Hills Village. Dino G. Maniatis is a first-generation Colorado native who has worked in real estate and property management for over 20 years. As a soldier and strategic intelligence officer in the US Army, Major Maniatis is assigned to Army Space and Missile Defense Command. He is a longtime resident of Cherry Hills Village, where he lives with his wife, Kristin, a physician, and their daughters Angelina and Kristina. He has served on various city committees and published a short history about the city and an official poem for its 75th anniversary.
"Do you know anyone who's truly living "The Good Life"? Traditionally, philosophers have seen it as an equation: The Good Life = Happiness + Meaning. But, if it's really that simple, why don't more of us achieve that truly "good" life? Emerging research in psychological and philosophical circles is showing us that there is more to the good life than the current-and even ancient-conversation suggests, and the results are exhilarating. Researchers have identified the missing constant in this equation as psychological richness. Lorraine Besser, a founding investigator in these studies, calls this "The Interesting." Put simply, "The Interesting" is an experience that captivates you, engages you, helps you let go of whatever is holding you back from fully engaging in the world around you. It's different for everyone, and everyone can obtain and strengthen the skills necessary to access it. The agency we have in making our lives psychologically rich is both empowering and exciting. Perfect for devotees of Ryan Holliday, Katherine May, and Gretchen Rubin, Besser's groundbreaking manifesto marries a thoughtful approach with real world applications. She offers delightful stories, tools, and mindsets we can use to "keep it interesting" as we reach toward fuller, more satisfying lives"--
