Book Description
Racial identity is one of the defining characteristics of the 20th century. In this study, Frank Furedi traces the history of Western colonial racist ideology and its role in the subjugation of the peoples of the non-West. His central theme is the changing perception of racism in the West and how the use of "race" has altered during the course of the 20th century. Focusing on World War II as the crucial turning point in racist ideology, Furedi argues that the defeat of Nazism left the West uneasy with its own racist past. He assesses how this was redefined in the postwar period, especially during the Cold War, and demonstrates that although white supremacist views became obsolete in international affairs, Western nations sought to portray racism as a natural part of the human condition. As a result the West continued to adopt the moral high ground well into the postwar period, to the ultimate detriment of the nations of the non-West.

Book Description
In the annals of espionage, one name towers above all others: that of H. A. R. "Kim" Philby, the ringleader of the legendary Cambridge spies. A member of the British establishment, Philby joined the Secret Intelligence Service in 1940, rose to the head of Soviet counterintelligence, and, as M16's liaison with the CIA and the FBI, betrayed every secret of Allied operations to the Russians, fatally compromising covert actions to roll back the Iron Curtain in the early years of the Cold War. Written from Moscow in 1967, My Silent War shook the world and introduced a new archetype in fiction: the unrepentant spy. It inspired John Le Carre's Smiley novels and the later espionage novels of Graham Greene. Kim Philby was history's most successful spy. He was also an exceptional writer who gave us the great iconic story of the Cold War and revolutionized, in the process, the art of espionage writing.

Book Description
As the head of Swedish Intelligence in Brussels Bente Jensen has many enemies, even among those who ought to be her allies, like Jonathan Green of MI6. In a city heaving with competing espionage agencies he is the person she fears and distrusts most. She has good reason. They share a past. Green has been part of an MI6 conspiracy to hold, interrogate, torture and kill its political prisoners in a safe house in Syria. This explosive information has been leaked to Bente by a conscience-stricken British operative. When it is clear she can expose this operation MI6 uses its full arsenal of dirty tricks to shame her, disgrace her, destroy her relationships and remove her from active service. But Green's private life has more in common with Bente's than he acknowledges. He is far from fireproof himself. Both spies will find themselves targets of the UK establishment's precisely calculated revenge. Like its highly acclaimed predecessor Into A Raging Blaze Andreas Norman's new novel is a morally and politically complex international thriller. Its nail-biting plot and sympathetic characters show the tragic human consequences of private and public treachery.

Book Description
Ben Bova's The Silent War is the breakneck continuation to The Asteroid Wars series that can end only in earth's salvation--or the annihilation of all that humankind has ever accomplished in space. When corporations go to war, standard business practice goes out the window. Astro Corporation is led by indomitable Texan Pancho Lane, Humphries Space Systems by the rich and ruthless Martin Humphries, and their fight is over nothing less than resources of the Asteroid Belt itself. As fighting escalates, the lines between commerce and politics, boardroom and bedroom, blur--and the keys to victory will include physics, nanotechnology, and cold hard cash. As they fight it out, the lives of thousands of innocents hang in the balance, including the rock rats who make their living off the asteroids, and the inhabitants of Selene City on Earth's moon. As if matters weren't complicated enough, the shadowy Yamagata corporation sets its sights on taking advantage of other people's quarrels, and space pirate Lars Fuchs decides it's time to make good on his own personal vendetta.

Book Description
According to Natalie Knight, Natural Healer and Health Coach, "The Silent War is a raw, bluntly honest, inspiring guide to rebuilding lives, perceptions and relationships after Combat or other traumatic events. PTSD is not just a soldier thing." This is literary journey into the mind and life of someone who is dealing with PTSD. Please don't confuse the purpose of this book, it is not written as a medical journal or a psychological textbook, or even as a life empowerment book. This is a real life toolbox with practical working techniques and knowledge to help rebuild misperceptions and misjudgments both, by and toward the person experiencing PTSD and those around them. Using his own life and experiences in dealing with PTSD after combat as a base line for discussion and point of reference for the reader, Cloud Mykals has created a guide, ready to be put into use, so as to give perspective, and provide hope to the person struggling with the PTSD; as well as, the loved ones of this person. Often times family members or loved ones of those suffering from PTSD are hurting as well from the rifts caused in their relationships due to simply not having a point of reference or understanding as to what or even how their loved one, thinks or truly feels. Many time the one with PTSD can not convey these thoughts or feelings and thus vital communication begins to breakdown. The combination of being unable to convey these feelings to the loved one, and the misconceptions, misunderstandings, and misperceptions between them can cause larger revolving issues of resentment, bitterness, confusion, uncertainty, then feelings of being unloved or unwanted and alone within themselves begin to take hold. These feelings only heighten the ever-darkening effects of PTSD. This can cause rising tensions on both sides and without help can all to often lead to disastrous ends, with both, hearts, and relationships damaged on every level and let's not forget the more tragic ends such as veteran suicide. Cloud Mykals knows from experience that dealing with these dark, powerful, and at times seemingly hopeless thoughts and negative feelings can leave you in a world of confused reality, plagued by psychological shifts which have physical effects. It can become both depressing and frightening. Cloud spent many years going through this dark and twisted rollercoaster and on going effects of PTSD after his time in combat during the IRAQ War. For many others it may an abusive relationship, a life changing accident, or a myriad of other scenarios. Whether it is you or your loved one who may be a veteran or a civilian matters not, the heart and mind of us all as well as the pain we experience is much the same. "I have compiled years of my personal life, experience and knowledge in this book to show that lives can be rebuilt and relationships can be mended. "The Silent War" within can be won. A new life awaits, I have already lived exactly where you are; perhaps, our exact situations bringing us to those places were different but either way we are much the same. I extend my hand in friendship to you. Your life has meaning, and worth and you are not alone. Take the knowledge in this book as my gift to you, and pass it on with more of your own to others so that together we may save as many lives and relationships as we can." - Cloud Mykals

Book Description
This book includes the author's interesting scientific finding that reverses the present research conclusion about how to traditionally inhibit the tumor growth and her own experiments and testimonies on parasitic fungi. This book is written for healthy families who wish to consciously stay healthy or take care of patients; for unhealthy families and patients who are diagnosed with autoimmune diseases or who struggle with their unknown illnesses; for litigants who were forced to abandon their houses due to mold invasions; for healthcare providers who failed to find a cause of patients' illnesses; and for personal injury or medical malpractice lawyers who are representing ill clients who are struggling with "The Most Common, The Most Deadly" fungal infections. This book is introduced as a landmark to inspire people including cancer patients and healthcare providers about the anciently misdiagnosed illness "Cancer," which is caused by parasitic fungi, is misdiagnosed as flu or a cold in the beginning, and is erroneously treated with wrong medications in the middle of the progress only to discover that the cancer is treated by antifungal medications in the end. This book is intended to educate readers about parasitic fungi that mutate fungal genes to survive in the hosts yielding cancerous cells and that the parasitic fungi are the cause of autoimmune diseases. The main goal of this book is to help children and families who are left behind without treatments under the guise of a false psychological theory "Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy (faking illness)." This book is intended to enlighten readers about risks of parasitic fungi that destruct health, homes, offices, schools, hospitals, and further family relationships, and that construct expensive lawsuits, social distrusts, unnecessary public and medical expenses and secondary victims. This book is aimed at past, present, and future patients who are programmed to fail to get a medical help for early cancer test and treatment under the present insurance policies, immunity laws, and medical malpractice laws that govern millions of health insurance policyholders, healthcare providers, and government-funded medical facilities. The author discusses why GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) Vitamins cause antifungal and antibiotic resistances and why GMO Vitamins may initiate or exacerbate autoimmune diseases. This book discusses "causes and effects" and "possible treatments" of autoimmune diseases that are caused by an untreated fungal infection. This book explains why the early signs of autoimmune diseases are neglected either by patients or by healthcare providers, how autoimmune diseases are initiated by a fungal mutation, why the autoimmune diseases respond to antifungal agents, and how curable diseases turn to incurable diseases. This book explains why fungal disruptions in human metabolisms result in "the various names of illnesses" in the beginning and "autoimmune diseases" in the end. This book suggests that a high level of LDL Cholesterol (known as bad Cholesterol) of patients may be a consequence of chronic and acute fungal infections and the LDL Cholesterol may be a fungal sterol that was horizontally transferred from the parasitic fungi that mutate their genes in the hosts to survive from the hosts' antibodies. This book explains how harmful acids are produced when parasitic fungi are hosted by humans and animals, how alcohol (fungal urine) and tobaccos may chemically make more Ergosterol or Lanosterol in the hosts and how patients can repair their damaged cells. This book explains how cancer tumors and cysts can be treated and how female patients can resume their menopause and become pregnant. This book is not a substitute of a medical diagnosis or a prescription to treat their illness.
