Williams' experiences, allowing his family and readers to savor moments throughout these pages.

The Conflicting Influence of the Christian Messages in Igboland examines how the homogeneity of a people called the Igbos was destroyed.

It is said that two spaceships going away from each other at very high speeds are able to see light from the other travelling at the proper speed of light because space contracts and time slows down. What would happen if these two spacecrafts passed each other? Would space suddenly invert and time change speed? How would a spaceship travelling between two light sources, such as stars, see light from both going the right speed at the same time? If, on the other hand, light travels at a broad range of speeds and we can detect only that which is going the right speed for us, then where is all the other light hiding? An electron in a cyclotron that is accelerated toward a target at close to the speed of light gains mass. If the target were racing away at a near equal speed, would that extra mass turn out to not be there? This book suggests an alternate theory to special relativity and a few experiments to prove it - or help us to learn something new.

Bernard has accumulated these quotes, sayings, and caveats, over the years; and he truly believes that if you live by them, you will be a good person and will end up "doing the right thing" every time!!! Although the collection encompasses numerous subjects, there is a common theme woven throughout the book: "be a good and righteous person." The world is devoid of people who try to do the right thing every time!!! There is nothing unique or magical about this collection of quotes, sayings, and caveats, yet you will find few people that adhere to all of these good ideas every time!!! Bernard is sure there are hundreds more one or two sentence caveats that contain the wisdom that make for a truly humane person. Why not collect them and add them to your list of "doing the right thing" every time!!!!About the Author Bernard Shapiro graduated from Clark University in 1957, majoring in government and international relations.
