If you want to understand what people REALLY think about the virus (people just like you), then read on: 'Spilling the Beans on the Virus' opens the door: it allows people to tell their Covid story, allows people to tell others how they feel, how Covid has affected them, reveals their concerns and their beliefs.In this book, people from across the globe talk candidly: about the virus, the vaccine, the lockdown. They give their thoughts on health services, on scientists, on decision-makers. They reveal what they think about conspiracy theories. They offer their predictions for the future."The Virus has been with us for a year now, and I'm bored with the statistics, bored with what politicians are saying, bored with what the media is telling us," the author says with a hint of despair."I'd much rather hear what real people have to say. I actually don't care where they're from, I don't care about their ethnicity, their gender, their religion, their politics. Quite simply, I just want to hear what they have to say."So, what experience does David have in this field? Well, very little to be honest. He simply found time on his hands due to the lockdown, and an itch that needed to be scratched. He simply asked people (most of whom he didn't know) to answer some pertinent questions on the virus, put it all together and came up with this book."I just wanted to hear THEIR story, with no trolling and no abuse - just thoughts and opinions from across the spectrum. In fact, one contributor personally thanked me for giving her the opportunity to vent without fear of a backlash!"If you want to know what other people think about the virus, this book will tell you. Here you will find people's opinions, in their own words: "I'm not sure there is ever going to be normality on this planet unless we all have the vaccine - whether we like it or not..." (CN, South Africa)"Yep, some people have had way too much time on their hands, and then have slipped down the conspiracy rabbit holes surrounding us!" (LM, Portugal)"What I find so shocking, but then again not surprising, is that curtain twitchers have found an outlet on social media and neighbourhood chats." (Stuart Chapman, Lymington/UK)"You are being constantly bombarded with Government propaganda which tells you to (and I quote directly): 'Stick to the rules. If you bend the rules, people WILL DIE'." (MH, Devon/UK)"Who do I blame? Honestly? Ourselves! People are ignorant. All we had to do was stay home and stay isolated last year and it would never have got to this stage." (JH-A, Portugal)"After a few weeks all the skin on his head and face started to peel off! Long Covid? Who knows?!" (AG, Blackburn/UK)"The Government brainwashes people; the Covid deniers also brainwash people... The truth is probably the grey area in between the two..." (GC, Canada)This book is an eye-opener. Everyone has a different opinion - and each opinion should be read and respected, whether you agree with it or not.If you want to understand what others are thinking, then scroll up and click the 'Buy Now' button.

This book looks at the early history of nuclear power, at what happened next, and at its longer-term prospects. The main question is: can nuclear power overcome the problems that have emerged? It was once touted as the ultimate energy source, freeing mankind from reliance on dirty, expensive fossil energy. Sixty years on, nuclear only supplies around 11.5% of global energy and is being challenged by cheaper energy options. While the costs of renewable sources, like wind and solar, are falling rapidly, nuclear costs have remained stubbornly high. Its development has also been slowed by a range of other problems, including a spate of major accidents, security concerns and the as yet unresolved issue of what to do with the wastes that it produces. In response, a new generation of nuclear reactors is being developed, many of them actually revised versions of the ideas first looked at in the earlier phase. Will this new generation of reactors bring nuclear energy to the forefront of energy production in the future?

Why do Christians believe what they believe? The early Christians contested their theology for 300 hundred years in Greek and Roman Hellenistic culture. Not surprisingly, the educated Christian, priest, and bishop developed his theology based on what everyone knew to be true: the Hellenistic science and philosophy that was taught at school and university. We now know what was taught and where the Christian theologian started his quest to understand Jesus and the Bible.You will find out what every educated person knew to be true when the New Testament was written and Christianity was defined. You will discover what was accepted from Hellenistic culture, what was changed, and what was rejected to develop Christian theology. You will learn how the ideas of the person, equality, free-will, psychology, and salvation were taken from the Hellenism  and made into Christian  theology. You will know how to lead the truly Christian life according to the Early Church.On the cover John Chrysostom, doctor of the Catholic Church and chief theologian of the Orthodox Church looks back to Plato and Aristotle. Christ came in the fullness of time (Galatians 4:4) when the best of Greek thought and Christian revelation were joined just as Christ Jesus united God and man. When I retired from state mental health, I wanted my 1970s doctoral work at the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley done before computers to survive. I did not complete the work and was awarded a MA. I was one of 1960s Jesus People, a Navigator attracted to the Early Church and Russian Orthodoxy. I lived in rural areas, so attended the Episcopal Church, worked on the Church Army and with the Salvation Army. I now attend a charismatic church and a Missouri Synod Lutheran Church. I have 4 kids and 8 grandkids. Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciple. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8: 31-32) 

This book looks at energy transitions being made in developing countries, focusing on the adoption of renewable energy systems in Africa, for example under the UN Sustainable Energy for All programme, but also by the EU in the Former Soviet countries of Eastern and Central Europe.

Young Jaimie, a high school senior, holes himself up in an isolated cabin on a New Hampshire lake to mourn the tragic death of his girlfriend. He expects to be alone. So who is that swimmer he sees through the mist, out on the lake? What is the wailing he hears as night falls...the cry of the loon? Maybe Jannie had something else in mind when she made him promise they would be together forever. After all, hadn't they been voted The Couple Most Likely to Stay Together?
