I read "Guns, Germs and Steel," Jared Diamond. Fascinating work. Best seller and Pulitzer Prize. Why did some societies build large technological civilizations and some stayed primitive. It is not about biological differences. It is about geography and agriculture that came from that.
Why that the Aztec/Inca societies were invaded by Spain instead of why did they not invade Spain?
Get started reading and you will not put it down!

I was really never a reader but I used to read a lot of hunting and shooting mags. Being a hunter safety instructor I receive a subscription to PA Game News. I page thru it and read a story or two and the field notes but thats about it. I spend my spare time on these forums and when we retire for the evening I read a couple chapters of the Bible. I've read the NT a few times but lately I've been concentrating on the OT. i know all the usual stories but when you read them and study them you get a better understanding of how God works and how the OT is tied into the new.
Did you know that Jesus fulfilled over 300 prophecies from the OT? The odds of one person fulfilling only 8 of them is astronomical but Jesus fulfilled over 300!

When the reader is ready this book will appear.
"An Unlikely Prophet," Alvin Schwartz. the author of Batman and Superman. He thinks he had an idea about Superman that Schwartz created that identity and the "created Superman became an identity who wrote the articles.
I know that many writers create a character and that character assumes an identity in the author's life. The author takes dictation from that character for the books and stories.
In the vein of Dan Millman (Way of the Peaceful Warrior), Carlos Castaneda. Schwartz puts forth a quantum journey of exploration and creation. Exactly how do thoughts create physicality, especially do we create people? Simple, powerful and understanding! Mind altering and mind bending, a fresh new look at our lives.
Call it science fiction? Solid reality? An easy read.
I think we are moving past the predictability of Newtonian physics and into the "spooky" world of creation of Quantum physics.
