On the Status of Man in the Universe. From Galileo to Darwin, and the Church.
About three years ago I encountered a book that told the story of Charles Darwin and his work; On the Origin of Species, from a unique perspective.

Politics, Entertainment, and When HISTORY Repeats Itself
In the long run of my studies on the histories of old and fairly recent societies of the world, I discovered something that keeps repeating itself in the course of Man’s stay on Earth.

Another View of Technology
History! Let’s look at it from another Perspective. From the Perspective of the Man who asks Questions; even to Himself.. from my Perspective . The White Man didn’t conquer Africa..
