1. Evolution's Fatal Flaw - Mother Nature's Report Card by Ronald Standerfer
   
   In "Evolution's Fatal Flaw", a carefully researched and well written book, author Lawrence Wood sets out to validate two controversial and often debated claims: that evolution is the proper explanation for our origins; and that evolution is all about the survival of the species, not as one might suppose, about the survival of the individual. It is a monumental undertaking fraught with scientific and philosophical mine fields, all which he traverses with caution and ease.
   
   
2. Review of How To Read a Book - The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading by Avil Beckford
   
   Mortimer Adler and Charles Van Doren in their groundbreaking book How To Read A Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading, say people read for: entertainment, information or understanding. The authors also state that, "Enlightenment is achieved only when, in addition to knowing what an author says, you know what he means and why he says it." This suggests that when you read, you have to interact with the words on the page, have to think about what the authors are saying, and why they are saying what they are saying.

4. Einstein's Telescope - The Hunt For Dark Matter and Dark Energy in the Universe - Book Review by Anthony Moschetti
   
   A few years ago scientist thought they were well on the way to understanding the universe. Then they found out that the normal matter that we all know made up only 5 percent of the universe. The rest is 23 percent dark matter and 73 percent dark energy. The only thing dark matter has in common with normal matter is that it behaves the same way with respect to gravity. Einstein's telescope is the bending of light by objects in space which helps scientist study dark matter.
   
   
5. Book Review - Outliers - The Story of Success by Dr. Farid A. Muna
   
   Outliers: The Story of Success By Malcolm Gladwell Little, Brown and Company, November 2008. Malcolm Gladwell is the bestselling author of The Tipping Point and Blink. His latest book, Outliers, has been on the best seller list of The New York Times for eight straight months, since it was published in November 2008. Gladwell's engaging and journalistic writing style and his talent for simplifying complex issues, I believe, are his secrets of success. And these are the reasons why his books are both controversial and popular. His latest book is no exception.

14. Man's Place in the Universe by Werner Thurau
    
    This articles traces the position assigned to man in the universe, from the central position of importance in the Middle Ages, to the lesser one given by Galileo and Newton and then to the utter insignificance of man in the cosmology of physics leading up to string particle theory, with their possible multiple universes. This continuous trend of ever diminishing importance given to the role of man in the scheme of things was abruptly reversed by the work done in quantum mechanics. In the implications of quantum theory, man emerged as a vital factor in the role of observer, without whom there would be no experimental results. Given these thoroughly conflicting and confusing results from physics since the seventeenth century, what might we today say about man's true standing in the world? Where does he really fit in? A possible solution is suggested.
    
    
15. Reality Check by Werner Thurau
    
    Einstein, apart from giving the world relativity, was also a founder of quantum theory with his insistence, unrecognized for decades by other physicists, that light had a corpuscular structure, as well as a wave form. Niels Bohr was a leading proponent of the fully developed quantum theory, which had implications which Einstein could not accept and which he spent a lifetime trying to disprove. Einstein insisted that everything in the world, from large objects to small particles, had to be independently real, that is its existence in no way depended on a human presence, or a human observation of the object involved. Quantum theory, which Bohr defended, reached quite other and startling conclusions, which continue to defy common sense today. The core dispute here involves the concept of reality in modern physics and this article provides a very brief overview of the problem, as well as suggesting a solution.

17. Mass and Matter by Werner Thurau
    
    This articles suggests that the word "matter", which we normally use for everyday objects perceived in nature, should be limited to solids, liquids and gases made of atomic/molecular structures. While this would include everything we perceive through our senses, including all the visible galaxies in the universe, it makes up only about 5% of the contents of the universe.
    
    
18. Force in Modern Physics by Werner Thurau
    
    The article deals with three aspects of the concept force: the mathematical expressions of how it operates, what a force actually is and how it is transmitted. Of these three, the first aspect was thought to be completely answered by Einsteins corrections and refinements of Newton's classical law of gravity. However, the latest results of trajectories by Pioneer and other space craft show that some anomalies are not explained by any present theory.

28. Life! Single Verse Diverse Origin by Ayele Teklemariam
    
    Thus Global environmental diversity predates life's Global diversity as there are Global uniformities. One fact that is self evident and beyond question at least for now is the existence the Global uniformity that is instrumental in initiating life and basic constituents of life are same everywhere and nowhere else but on earth. It is asserted in the theory that the trajectory life to tool the form a tree branch because of the environmental variations it encountered along the path of development, but why not be a grass instead of a tree and follow its independent path there off if the cause for it branching off is present from the outset ?
