Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is full of big questions. Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? Where do the universe, earth, and humans come from? Do humans have free will? What is the meaning of life and death? Do humans and animals have souls and spirits? Where do good and evil come from? Who is Satan? What was his original offense? Why does the devil tempt humans? Why is there pain and suffering? Can the nefarious attitudes in human spirits change for the better? Before the Beginning to Beyond the End clearly presents answers to the above questions based in Scripture. The book seeks to unpack the creation of the world and its implications for mankind through the lens of the Bible. Furthermore, it expounds on the cause for human’s fall, God’s redemption plan, Jesus’s fulfillment of Messianic prophecies, future events in the world, and what will happen to us beyond the end of time.

Book excerpt: Dr. Elsersawi, a pioneer in the filed of electricity and its effect in living things, challenges the traditional mechanistic in our thinking about the living inner process of magnetism. He found clues to the interaction between electromagnetic field and the human body. Like the gravity of the earth and the quantum in the universe, the magnet has different effect on different regions of the earth and the universe. The strength and location of natural magnetic fields on the earth can influence our minds, alter our character, and noticeably affect our health. The text explains the effect of magnetic fields on humans at different altitudes on the earth. For example, the intensity of magnetic fields at the two poles is greater than at the equator. This reference explores the sources, characteristics, health hazards and benefits of electromagnetic fields (EM), of low-frequency fields and of radio frequency radiations. Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) is also expressed in pain relief, osteoporosis treatment, fibromyalgia treatment, fracture healing, rheumatic pain, and stress reduction. More over, electricity and electromagnetic fields do affect the spiritual quality of the human. Electricity can vibrate cells, nerves, bones, organs, and change the chemical reaction and metabolism. Disharmonious or unbalanced vibrations show themselves in many ways including discomfort, disease, illness, fatigue, and a variety of different symptoms. Higher vibrations mean healthy body, and low vibrations mean an ailing body. Interestingly, particular electromagnetic waves can cause degenerative disorder of the central nervous system (the brain), which leads to Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases, and impairments both in sequence learning, and in the initiation and termination of voluntary movements. The book contains materials describing different waves of EM of alpha, beta and Gamma to explain their interaction with biological systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How encounters with strongly electric fish informed our grasp of electricity. Spark from the Deep tells the story of how human beings came to understand and use electricity by studying the evolved mechanisms of strongly electric fish. These animals can shock potential prey or would-be predators with high-powered electrical discharges. William J. Turkel asks completely fresh questions about the evolutionary, environmental, and historical aspects of people’s interest in electric fish. Stimulated by painful encounters with electric catfish, torpedos, and electric eels, people learned to harness the power of electric shock for medical therapies and eventually developed technologies to store, transmit, and control electricity. Now we look to these fish as an inspiration for engineering new sensors, computer interfaces, autonomous undersea robots, and energy-efficient batteries. Praise for Spark from the Deep “This beautifully written and exhaustively researched book traces the links between experiments on strongly electric fish and scientific understanding of electricity . . . Turkel’s book is a joy to read; it will entertain and educate scientists, historians, and anyone with an interest in the natural world.” —Choice “Turkel’s book convincingly reminds us that all the laptops and gadgets we surround ourselves with are remixes; altered versions of strongly electric fish. For that strange and insightful observation, this book ought to be widely read and enjoyed.” —Chris Conway, Endeavour “[I]t is refreshing to explore a book which takes seriously ancient encounters with manifestations of natural electricity as precursors to more recent innovations.” —James F. Stark, The British Journal for the History of Science
