Evigt liv genom kloning, är det möjligt? Ja, och det är dessutom bara början på hur vetenskapen och tekniken kommer att förändra våra liv och vårt samhälle. Det förklarar Rael i boken "Yes to human cloning". Rael blev världskänd år 2000 när företaget Clonaid annonserade att man lyckats klona fram en människa. Rael grundade Clonaid 1998 men har idag inte längre några bindningar till företaget. Rael ger i boken en fantastisk vision av hur vi inom kort kan ha ett samhälle utan föroreningar, utan arbetsplikt och där vi kan få mat på bordet endast genom att be en maskin om det. Allt detta tack vare framsteg inom genetik, nanoteknologi, kloning, rymdfart med mera. Ytterligare ämnen som Rael tar upp i sin bok är.. - Artificiell intelligens gör datorer och robotar smartare än människor. - Framtidens självförsörjande hus. - Genmodifierad mat innebär slutet på svält. - Biologiska robotar. - Rymdfarten avlivar myten om en Gud. - Ett samhälle inriktat på nöje. Enligt Rael kommer den här förändringen under en tjugoårsperiod. Det handlar inte om science fiction, vilket det kan verka som vid första anblicken. Rael grundar sina visioner på det möte han hade 1973 med en representant för en utomjordisk civilisation. Vid mötet fick Rael bland annat inblick i hur den utomjordiska civilisationens samhälle fungerar, samt kunskap om vilken framtid som väntar oss på jorden om vi använder vetenskapen för mänsklighetens bästa. Detta till skillnad från att använda den för militära ändamål.

In this rich and savvy collection of commentaries on the events, people and issues that shape and define our world, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and New York Times bestselling author Ellen Goodman cuts to the heart of the stories and controversies that helped to define our times. For over twenty-five years, nationally syndicated columnist Ellen Goodman has been training her lens on contemporary American life. A marvelously direct writer with keen insight into what makes the average American tick, laugh and occasionally boil with rage, Goodman takes her measure of the national psyche in a voice that is at once perceptive, witty and deeply humane. Paper Trail, her first collection in more than ten years, journeys through an era that has been golden in its advances and bleak in its disappointments. In a voice both reasoned and impassioned, she makes sense of the cultural debates that have captured our attention and sometimes become national obsessions. She wrestles with the close-to-the-bone issues of abortion, working mothers and gay marriage, the struggles for civil liberties and equal rights, and the moral complexity of assisted suicide and biotech babies. As she wends through the era of the Clinton scandals and the "amBushing" of America, the dot-com boom and bust, the horrors of September 11 and the War on Terrorism, Goodman pauses to celebrate some of our lost icons, including Jackie Onassis, Princess Diana and Doctor Spock. She reminds us as well of the fleeting fame of such instant celebrities as Elian Gonzalez and Lorena Bobbitt. The lines that separate public and private life dissolve under Goodman's scrutiny as she shows us how Washington politics, Silicon Valley technology and the national media culture infiltrate our jobs, relationships and minds. With the trademark clarity that readers count on, she walks us through the dilemmas posed by new technologies that range from cloning to cell phones and makes us laugh at the vagaries of Viagra and Botox and unreality TV. And in a world that sometimes seems to be stuck on fast forward, she holds on to values as timeless as a family Thanksgiving and a summer porch in Maine. Including more than 160 of Ellen Goodman's lively and stylish columns, this timely collection walks us along the paper trail in a voice that is both crystal clear and original.

Reader, you may wonder: Is this a science fiction story with human clones? Or is this a spiritual novel related to God? It is both. Two ETs come to Earth, for a vacation. They analyze and they worry about what is happening on our planet. They don't understand why the elite control the lives of people. They don't comprehend why ordinary Humans so feebly react to that. But the beginning of the 21st century was a time of Great Awakening. The pivotal moment was the subtle split of Earth's magnetic field. It allowed the creation of two densities, two worlds. Follow the thrilling events that lead to that moment. Read the story of people who softly act and change their worldview. Read about Humans as spiritual beings in a material world. Those two ETs teach them to have a dialogue with the Divine Self Within. They help Humans to be aware, like themselves, of being clones of God. Then they can be empowered and change the world for good. With those two ETs and enlightened Humans, embark on this odyssey!

This book offers a critical analysis of the complex relationship between violence and belonging, by exploring the ways sexual, ethnic or national belonging can work through, rather than against, violence. Based on an ethnographic study of Russian-speaking, queer immigrants in Israel/Palestine and in cyberspace, it gives an insight into the world of hate speech and fantasies of torture and sexual abuse; of tormented subjectivities and uncanny homes; of ghostly hauntings from the past and anxieties about the present and future. The author raises questions about the responsibilities of national homemaking, the complicity of queerness within violent regimes of colonialism and war, and the ambivalence of immigrant belonging at the intersection of marginality and privilege. Drawing from scholarship on migration, diaspora and race studies, feminist and queer theory, psychoanalysis and studies on cyberculture, the book traces the interplay between the different forms of violence - physical and verbal, social and psychic, material and discursive - and offers novel insights into the analysis of nationalism, on-line sociality and queer migranthood.

Jesus stated that with faith in Him we would accomplish greater things than He. Jesus saved the lost, healed the sick, ministered to the multitudes, and raised the dead. Accordingly, the modern church should be doing much more. So what's the problem? Why do we fall short of our Savior's standard? Quite bluntly, Christianity has caught a chronic case of apathy! In The Cure for Common Christianity, using a command of theology and a unique, witty writing style, Pastor Tommy Galloway outlines the formula to alleviate this Church crisis. The problems are complex and the symptoms are multi-faceted; the cure is simple-a full-fledged return to the basics of Christianity. The world is disillusioned by the corruption and complacency plaguing our houses of worship. Christians cannot waste time. A spiritually sick world is waiting for a healthy Church to offer hope. They are waiting for - The Cure for Common Christianity. Pastor Tommy Galloway began his ministry at age sixteen. Upon completion of high school in Calhoun City, Mississippi, he attended Jackson College of Ministries and received a degree in Theology. He served as Youth Pastor in Longview, Texas, before beginning evangelistic work throughout the United States. In 1984, he married Candace Greene. They continued evangelistic work until 1988, when they were elected pastors of Powell's Grove Pentecostal Church in Jayess, Mississippi. After pastoring there for six years, they moved to Tupelo, Mississippi, in 1994, to begin evangelistic work again. In 1996, they founded Word of Life Church where they still serve as Senior Pastors. Pastor Tommy's vision is, "Lead Locally, Reach Regionally, and Grow Globally." Although pastoring the phenomenal people of Word of Life Church is his first calling, he still ministers at evangelistic crusades throughout America and other countries. Tommy and Candi have three children, Landon, Kristian, and Alexis.

Here I write of life in a language permeated by fear... dreadfully suppressed memories of the child beaten by a drunken father, waiting for fate to forgive me. A carbon copy repeated in brutal patterns and destroying the faith of my family: my wife and two daughters. They bore the brunt of my alcoholic dependence, which ultimately resulted in divorce and alienation. This tormented man, when challenged about being drunk and abusive, plunged further into darkness... The lonely period without a word from them and then finally seeking help in rehabilitation... five years of sobriety leading to forgiveness and reconciliation... This book of verse is a visionary journey.
