Summary

In "Torchy As A Pa," Sewell Ford delivers a delightful sequel that continues the adventures of the charming and comedic character, Torchy Blane. Set against the vibrant backdrop of early 20th-century America, the novel employs Ford's signature colloquial style and witty dialogue, capturing the idiosyncrasies of urban life. As Torchy navigates the complexities of domestic life while maintaining her independent spirit, readers are drawn into a narrative rich with humor, social commentary, and engaging plot twists, reflecting the changing roles of women during this era. Ford deftly blends satire with affection, creating a nuanced portrayal of the challenges faced by a modern woman in a rapidly evolving society. Sewell Ford, a noted American author and journalist, gained acclaim for his vivid portrayals of American life and his masterful command of dialogue. His own experiences in the bustling milieu of early 20th-century cities, coupled with a keen observational eye, greatly influenced his writing. Ford's ability to weave humor with an understanding of societal norms points to his desire to connect with readers on a personal level, showcasing both the absurdity and sincerity of human relationships. "Torchy As A Pa" is highly recommended for readers seeking a light-hearted yet insightful exploration of character and culture. Ford's work appeals not only to fans of early American literature but also to contemporary readers interested in the historical evolution of gender roles. With its engaging plot and lively prose, this novel promises both entertainment and reflection, making it a worthwhile addition to any literary collection.

    Evolution Is Wrong - A Radical...

    A Fascinating Exploration on Why the Darwinists’ Theory No Longer Explains Everything 
    There was once a set of ideas called the theory of evolution, conceived by clever people and confirmed by countless scientists. Then people discovered the electron microscope. This made it possible to make the molecules within the cell visible, and suddenly questions about evolution arose that were not possible before. Which force actually bundles the atoms in the right order? What moves the molecular chains into the correct position? How did the first living unit within the cell actually come about? How does inheritance work, how does information pass on to the next generation? Did humans descend only and exclusively from primates—as Charles Darwin and countless other great minds assumed—or did additional “engines” intervene in evolution?  
    Today it is clear: countless questions can no longer be answered with the previous theory of evolution. There is a form of life called “Blob” (Physarum polycephalum). The “thing” has neither eyes nor ears, neither a mouth nor a nose or even a brain. Nevertheless, it takes in food, overcomes obstacles by the shortest route and exchanges information with other “blobs.” The “blob” contradicts any evolutionary thought that one develops from the other. Or the “gastric-brooding frogs” (Rheobatrachus) found in Australia. They hatch their young in the stomach. Impossible in a slow, evolutionary process.  
    Everywhere there are characteristics of animals that do not want to fit into the theory of evolution anywhere. And man? Are we really the most adapted life-form on this planet? Today, more and more scientists who contradict the previous theory of evolution speak out. The theory fits the changes within the species, but it can no longer be reconciled with the inner workings of the cell. Some other influence that has so far escaped us is affecting evolution. It is called “Intelligent Design.” Intelligent planning is suspected behind this. Anyone or anything—a spirit of the universe? Aliens?—could be behind this planning.  
    Erich von Däniken uses countless examples to demonstrate the impossibility of the previous evolutionary idea. He quotes scientists who argue against the previous teaching, but also those who defend it. Unfortunately, established science still refuses to look at discrepancies and holes in the theory of evolution, even though it is quite obvious that there is more going on with regard to the development of all species, as well as human culture, than could be explained by the theory of evolution alone.

    In Old World Witchcraft, noted author Raven Grimassi covers totally new territory--in his work and in the world of popular witchcraft books published in the last few decades.This book is actually about “an enchanted worldview,” one that has not necessarily been inherited from the beliefs and practices of any particular region and one which is available to us today.The “Old World” in the title is actually about a magical view of the Plant Kingdom and the spirits attached to it. While Grimassi’s previous books discuss the cultural expressions and commonality of witchcraft beliefs and practices in general, this book penetrates much deeper.Old World Witchdraft reveals rarely discussed topics such as the concept of Shadow as the organic memory of the earth. Readers will learn rooted techniques that possess power because these ways have always been connected to it. They will learn methods of interfacing with the ancestral current and with the organic memory of the earth. Through these they can connect with the timeless arts and learn methods of empowerment directly from the ancient source.Totally new information about familiar tools is presented. For example, the mortar and pestle is a tool for spell casting, a device that creates interfacing with plant spirits and with shadow, and a focal point for veneration of the Plant Kingdom. Grimassi also presents the art of using plant ashes for magical sigil work.This book is for people who have had their fill of books that say the same things over and over, who want to take the next step, and who are eager for the more rooted ways that have remained largely hidden.
