Government of Nature

For eons people have wondered about those things that go bump in the night. In the beginning most believed they were monsters coming to eat them. Human maturity has allowed us to see through these fears. The noise makers are simply living things such as opossums, raccoons, owls, and skunks. The life noise of all the different species and organisms with which we share this planet. Each wading through their own lifelong adventure. And what do these creatures want? They want what we want—a safe place to sleep, a full belly, a strong and courageous mate, and a fair chance at raising a family for a long-lasting bloodline.

Countless numbers of living things travel with and among us daily. The food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the shelter we take are all products created by these living entities. There are rules and regulations that govern nature that allow her to do what she does.

The government employed by nature! Capitalistic Biotic Republic. Wait! What?

In the Modern Tower of Babel

In the original fable of the Tower of Babel, as punishment for attempting to build a tower into the heavens, the people were relegated to an inability to communicate, each speaking a different language. Hence the term “to Babel.”

The Modern Tower of Babel refers not to multiple languages but to the increasing spread of misinformation, disinformation, and fake news. We are increasingly disadvantaged in our ability to establish fact from fiction and truth from lies. This confusion is leading to the chaos we now see across many aspects of society: In medicine, should we vaccinate our children or not? In the health of our environment, are global warming and climate change a reality, or are they a hoax? And, of course, in politics, where anything seems permissible and truth is often discarded in favor of retaining power.

But all is not lost. If we are smart enough to use modern technologies; such as AI; intelligently and with proper regulation, we can harness the wealth of information available to us and leverage modern tools to distinguish fact from fiction and rigorously evaluate evidence. But that will only happen if we use AI properly, and given our current course, that outcome is far from assured.

The Clock and the Garden

Why are some people organized, meticulous, and rigid in their everyday lives? While other people focus on the beauty in everything, including plants, animals, gardens, and a field of wildflowers. These personalities usually collide. This story is about a conversation between two such personalities—a structured grandfather clock and a free-spirited flower garden. Through their conversation, they discover the value of both order and spontaneity—reason and emotion. Ultimately, the story conveys that “we should use our heads to guide us but never forget to follow our hearts.”

Lead with Light

In a time when leadership is measured by influence rather than rank, Lead with Light offers a fresh, purpose-driven approach to mentorship. Combining timeless archetypes with contemporary executive strategy, Scott Sowell presents a mentorship model that ignites transformation through one conversation, one connection, one clear act at a time.

Blending emotional intelligence with disciplined strategy, the book introduces seven archetypal lenses—Strategist, Protector, Messenger, Healer, Connector, Illuminator, and Steward—that illuminate distinct pathways to leadership mastery. Through vivid symbolism, compelling case studies, and reflective exercises, readers learn to mentor with empathy, communicate with authenticity, and lead with moral clarity.

More than a framework, Lead with Light is a guiding philosophy for anyone seeking to elevate their impact. Whether you are a seasoned executive steering organizational change or an emerging leader expanding your influence, this book provides a practical compass for navigating complexity with wisdom and grace.

Leadership is not only about what we create; it is about who we develop.

More Than Adequate

Nature is the true goddess of life,

She is the mother who brings the sun and moon,

The one who decides if the wind blows or stands,

Who brings the hurricanes to shore,

The ground to a freeze,

And the living to an end.

It is by her mercy that we get to feel today, whether we’d wish to or not.

The rainbow doesn’t just come; its colors are created by the destruction of the storm.

Famous Historical Mysteries & Their Solutions

Many famous historical events have been labelled as mysterious, sometimes allowing people to suggest that paranormal forces were involved. The events discussed here have a reasonable explanation once you examine all the available evidence using an unbiased viewpoint. You may enjoy stories of mysterious past events that defy explanation, but what if there is a reasonable explanation that no one has properly presented to you?

Even experienced investigators have difficulty defining what happened in certain cases, and investigators can prove biased. However, what would you be able to establish if you had all the available information? If you strip away theories and interpretations that people have presented, it leaves just the facts behind; that allows you to think for yourself. With the core facts presented in each account, which of the questions discussed in this book can you answer?

Was Lizzie Borden guilty? Did someone murder Marilyn Monroe? Did Meriwether Lewis commit suicide? Was Billy the Kid killed by Pat Garrett? Were paranormal forces involved in the cases of Devon’s Walking Devil, the Hammersmith Ghost, Spring-Heeled Jack, the disappearance of the crew of the Mary Celeste, or even the 1947 Roswell Incident? What happened to Jimmy Hoffa, Ambrose Bierce, Hale Boggs, Dorothy Arnold, or Percy Fawcett? Was America’s Stonehenge built by ancient Europeans? Who made it to the Americas before Christopher Columbus? Where can we find Atlantis?

Once you can define the real facts, what can you figure out about the cases presented here? You will be surprised.
