The Paradox of Water: The Science and Policy of Safe Drinking Water by Bhawani Venkataraman English | January 17, 2023 | ISBN: 0520343433, 0520343441 | True EPUB/PDF | 238 pages | 9.97/9.6 MB Water is a molecular marvel. Its seemingly simple formula-H2O-dictates the properties that make water both essential for life and easily contaminated. Herein lies the paradox of water: we cannot live without it, but it is easily rendered "unsafe." The Paradox of Water explores the intersection of the scientific, social, and policy implications around access to safe drinking water. Drinking water is the smallest fraction of water used by a nation. Yet, the quality of this fraction is what dictates whether a community is healthy, educated, and economically sustained.

 Paolo Barnard, Steven Quay, "The Origin of the Virus: The hidden truths behind the microbe that killed millions of people" English | ISBN: 1854571060 | 2021 | 132 pages | EPUB | 0,3 MB The Origin of the Virus is the first book to concentrate on the two most pressing issues the community of nations has had to contend with since the end of the two World Wars: where did the gravest global health crisis in one hundred years came from? And why did China withhold information that could have spared the lives of untold numbers the world over? In the book an award winning journalist teams up with two scientists of unquestioned international repute to examine the evidence. This book is a shocking account of the extreme experiments, of the cover-ups and of the collusions that led to the outbreak of the worst pandemic since the 1918 Spanish influenza and broadens the censure to include the American and British scientists who thwarted a proper investigation of the origin of COVID-19. The Origin of the Virus was written by award winning Italian journalist (Paolo Barnard) and two eminent scientist/doctors: from the USA, Dr. Steve Quay, and from the United Kingdom, Professor Angus Dalgleish. Despite its impeccable scientific grounding the book is both a readable and gripping account that for the first time allows the public to partake in what lies at the heart of the most deadly virus in modern times.
 The Opportunity Index by Lewis, Gavin; English | 2023 | ISBN: 1119840767 | 254 pages | True PDF EPUB | 18.09 MB  Ladislaus Boros, "The Mystery of Death: Awakening to Eternal Life" English | ISBN: 1948626152 | 2020 | 300 pages | EPUB | 720 KB What precisely happens at the time of death is a question that theologians have struggled over for centuries but have never answered satisfactorily. The response to this question that Ladislaus Boros gives in his monumental synthesis, The Mystery of Death, is that in death we meet Christ fully for the first time and in doing so attain to full consciousness and freedom. It is therefore only in the moment of death than humans are able to elect for or against their eternal salvation. In other words, death is a kind of judgment day, but it is we ourselves who pass judgment on ourselves. |
