This book shows that, to understand the human condition better, we must develop a keener appreciation for the subtle interactions between nature and nurture. First, Dr. Steen confronts the dark history of eugenics, and the horrifying legacy of the Nazis. He then proceeds to illuminate the latest advances in molecular biology and behavioral genetics. He explains fascinating results that have emerged from "split-twin" experiments, in which eerie parallels were found between twins separated at birth. He clarifies how the Human Genome Project might help create a new understanding of the human condition and how it may ultimately help alleviate some of the major health and even behavioral problems facing society today

Celestial Twins

ISBN: 9789654943543
Category : Astrology
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
From the ancient days of the King Solomon to the modern times of Mark Twain’s romance The Prince and the Pauper, there were numerous legends and folk stories about entwined destinies of the people who shared the same date of birth. Many thinkers and astrologers have tried to explore this phenomenon, but there were no solid facts confirming these legends. Celestial Twins is the first evidence-based work that establishes the historical truth behind such myths, exploring 17 representative life stories. It begins as a tale of one curious observation of meaningful interconnectedness between life-paths of two historical personalities born on the same day of the same year. This accidental observation led to a systematic 15-year study of well-known celestial twins in which cases of such entwined life stories were detected and studied. This research led to the discovery of a new phenomenon—the Effect of Celestial Twins (ECT)—which demonstrates that though each human being is unique, there is fairly exact matching between the biographical data of celestial twins. All personages in these stories are well-known historical characters, such as Ernest Hemingway, Oscar Wilde, Nancy Astor, King George VI, Carl Gustav Jung, and Pablo Casals. Each of them was believed to have an unprecedented life path; and yet each person in these stories had a “twin” who had the same unique life task, used the same methods to complete it, and gained the same results.

Book Description
Topaz-eyed, tawny-haired Morgan Todd of Faux Hall is on the verge of glorious womanhood. Though sent to England's King Henry VIII's court as a lady-in-waiting on Queen Anne Boleyn, Morgan has one unwavering desire: to be reunited with the man she loves, Sean O'Connor. But Sean, a Catholic, is not in the good graces of the King, and by no fault of hers, Morgan is no longer the young virgin who first kissed him. Mistaken for a willing servant in a field near her family's estate, she has been ravished by a passing nobleman. Morgan's powerful uncle, Sir Thomas Cromwell, arranges a marriage for his niece to further his own ambitions. The alliance with Sir James Sinclair sends a heartsick Morgan to a loveless union and a desolate castle on the North Sea. But the cruelest blow of all is when she discovers that James's younger brother, Francis Sinclair, is the nobleman who deflowered her. Although pallid James proves to be an indifferent groom, Francis stirs Morgan in ways Sean never did. Who will bow to King Henry's defiance of the Pope and who will cling to their Catholic faith? The wrong choice can lead to torture, the Tower, and the executioner's axe. Though strong-willed and courageous, Morgan is a helpless pawn in the games of the King, Cromwell, and their toadies. Motherhood, war, and intrigue will come between them, but through it all, Morgan never stops yearning for Francis. Despite his rough North Country ways, he is an honorable man in a land of schemers. And only Francis shares the passion for life and the instincts for survival that match her own.
