Written in accessible language, it explores the groundbreaking work of Dr. Antônio De Salles, who pioneers this approach at the intersection of medicine, science, technology, and human interaction.

The book’s thought-provoking content makes it a must-read for students and academics across various disciplines, from the sciences to the humanities.

The Prince of Evolution

The Prince of Evolution is the evolutionary reframing of one of the most important and controversial political texts in history.

In doing so it reveals new insights and value to be derived from Machiavelli’s original text. Most importantly, by providing an evolutionary framework for every human relationship that has ever existed, and reframes Machiavelli, the man, to be just as human as you or I.

The Prince of Evolution is a groundbreaking work that will disrupt the entire field of political science. And the way we all look at organizations, communities, and ourselves.

The Promises

I have struggled with alcoholism and addiction for nearly over 50 years and I had searched the corners of the earth for the solution to my living hell. Yet, the solution to my malady was right in front of me. As Bill W. wrote in Bill’s Story, “But my friend sat before me, and he made the point-blank declaration that God had done for him what he could not do for himself. His human will had failed. Doctors had pronounced him incurable. Society was about to lock him up. Like myself, he had admitted complete defeat. Then he had, in effect, been raised from the dead, suddenly taken from the scrap heap to a level of life better than the best he had ever known!” 

Bill goes on to write, “Most of us feel we need look no further for Utopia. We have it with us right here and now.” (BB p.16). Yes, I have found the solution to my alcoholism, my living hell, my malady. I have found my “heaven on earth” – The Fellowship of AA! If I learned one thing in my lifetime it is that wisdom is not the art of intelligence, it is the art of living. Life is not an endgame, there is not a finish line – life is an infinite journey!

The Qara-Daghian

“Is it appropriate to recite ‘Shema Israel’ in this place?”

In a dreamlike moment, I found myself in the synagogue, surrounded by people wrapped in prayer shawls and the thrilling voice of the cantor, Hakham Abdullah. I imagined my grandfather, Hakham Nissim, hovering beside me, whispering verses with his angelic voice, encouraging me to pray in this place that was once ours. Inspired by his presence, I set my heart on righting the insult to my grandfather’s memory. With permission granted, I prepared to pray, facing Jerusalem as is the Jewish tradition, stunning those around me.

Born in Halabja, the gas-hit city of Kurdistan, the writer recounts the tribulations of an Aramaic-speaking Qaradaghian Jewish tribe spanning five generations. This poignant memoir weaves together fascinating family stories, some tragic and others filled with love and heroism. The climax of the book is a nostalgic visit to the landscapes from which the author was uprooted as a child. His 2018 visit, published in the Kurdish media under the headline ‘The first Jew to return to Halabja since 1950,’ reveals the harsh reality of the Muslims rushing to build a mosque on the ruins of the synagogue.

In the city of Slemanyia, the writer visits the Great Synagogue where his grandfather served as rabbi, now converted into a mosque. Here, he sets a precedent by praying in a place where no Jewish prayer had been held for 67 years, a testament to the enduring spirit of the lost people in the land of Assyria. The hardships that began 2,700 years ago continued in the Land of Israel, where the writer undergoes immigration experiences until his successful integration into the New-Old Land.
