This book is an introduction to Karma. In the west we talk of karma as if it were something like a justice system. A system that includes a mechanism that recognizes and establishes the value of good and bad karmic actions, whether they are accidental or intentional. It ensures all involved receive “their just deserts” according to the value/cost of their actions. Another western view of karma is something like an Excel worksheet containing a record of all good and bad karmic actions by a person. Karma from good actions wipes out, or offsets bad actions, four units of good karma offsets...

Hello and welcome to my book on Aging and Diabetes. We may live longer than we did 100 years ago, but there are new limitations and challenges that earlier generations did not face. The Stoic philosophers will often be quoted in this book, they had a view of life that applies just as much today as in their time. Our life is what our thoughts make it. Do every act of your life as if it were your last. In a word, your life is short. You must make the most of the present with the aid of reason and justice. Since it is possible that you may be quitting life at this very moment, govern every act...

He describes how all living things evolve in the face of survival pressures and opportunities by adapting and changing. Since Darwin’s original published work, “On the Origin of Species” in 1859, many advances have been made. Archaeology with its extended view of this planet’s fossil evidence shows how over long periods of time animals and plants change. Darwin’s finches who live on different islands in the ...
