Historia
I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries.

Nothing less was expected from Matthew. Intelligent, funny, down to earth. Can’t stop thinking about his playbook on life! I’ll listen again and again.

Historia
President Eisenhower led us to victory in World War II. He then led our country as President for 8 years. He understood war and he understood how Washington worked. The major message he gave us as he left the presidency was: Beware of the Military Industrial Complex. His warning was very appropriate but it was not heeded by our nation. I know because I not only witnessed it being ignored, but I participated in using the power of the Military Industrial Complex during my aerospace career. Reagan's Star Wars describes why and how the power of the Military Industrial Complex gave birth to the Strategic Defense Initiative known as Star Wars.

What an interesting behind-the-scenes look at the Strategic Defense Initiative from a man actually involved and instrumental in the concept -- Walter Parks! It makes you wonder where the US would be now had Reagan not put the initiative in place? It not only saved the aerospace industry but also catapulted the US for what what we needed to fight terrorist attacks and other war related issues. So interesting!
Another fascinating Walter Parks' book. It's nice to own the Audible book to go along with the ebook.

Historia
Just what is life? What do we really know about God? What do we really know about the universe? Is there intelligent life out there? Are we likely to encounter aliens in our lifetime? Is there more than one universe? Will parallel universes soon be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt? These are just some of the questions that two friend have been asking since we were in grammar school together over 70 years ago.

Well-done
Revisado: 03-19-15
Many of us can relate to two lifelong friends pondering through the years whether there is a God. The conclusion is that there is no definitive answer. It seems likely we will discover life on other planets. Does that mean there is a God? God or no God, life is truly a marvelous miracle. This book reminds you of that beautiful fact. Well-done.
Since Walter Parks is one of my favorite authors, I had to have the ebook as well as the Audible book. Makes commuting go by so fast and puts me in a good mood.

Historia
From the earliest days as thinking humans we have had many questions about life. We have had fewer acceptable answers. This is beginning to change as we are learning more and more about life and how it developed. I grew up in the Bible Belt of Mississippi. We were taught that God created all life and then He created Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. But then I read about ancient fossils of human-like creatures and started learning about evolution. Am I to continue to believe the literal words of the Bible or the findings of archeology and the related scientific evidence?

Excellent
Revisado: 03-19-15
Another stellar book written by Walter Parks. This time he researches the origins of human life. It is evident that human life is the newcomer, compared to animal and plant life. All life has DNA that can be traced. It was surprising to find that human life originated a mere 228,000 years ago! Excellent book.
The ebook was so good, I had to purchase the audiobook for my daily work commute. Enjoyed it.

Historia
Medical science and the unraveling of the human genome have, and are, providing us with great insights into how our bodies work and how we are susceptible to diseases and the aging process. Our new understandings now allow us to significantly increase our healthy longevity. And when we take advantages of these new findings we make ourselves available to take advantages of the even newer technologies being developed. There are seven basic causes that combine to make us vulnerable to diseases and to aging; they are all described in the book Aging is a Treatable Disease.

Great reference for hormone replacement
Revisado: 03-19-15
Hormones play such an important role is keeping us youthful and healthy. Parks lays out the reasons why in a simple way. He also goes into what we can do about keeping our homone levels at an adequate level like we had during our reproductive years.
This is an excellent book for anyone, but especially those facing menopause and past menopause. But this is not a book for only women! It is just as important for men to keep their hormone levels up, as well. Parks does well at explaining why.
While I own the ebook, I wanted the audiobook as well. Love Steven Roy Grimsley, the narrator. He is one of my favorite narrators on Audible. Clear voice, excellent pronunciation and inflection.

Historia
I grew up in the Bible Belt of Mississippi, and the Christian beliefs were instilled in me from the very beginning. But my astrophysics education and career in aerospace made me begin to question just who God really is. Ancient fossil finds and the growing beliefs in evolution convinced me that the Bible’s stories of creation cannot be taken literally. My search revealed to me the scientific God of creation, the creator of the universe and everything in it. This new scientific insight shows that the Bible is a very good analogy of how the heavens and the earth and all on earth were created.

Fascinating!
Revisado: 03-16-15
A fascinating read! Walter Parks make a brilliant argument for a scientific God of creation unlike any other I have ever heard in, “God is Dark Energy.”
Parks’ background as an astrophysicist is evident. He explains the Big Bang theory in a way that is both detailed, yet simple for a layperson to understand. I like how he touched on the great scientists throughout history, explaining how each contributed to our knowledge of the Big Bang.
Parks does not challenge modern day religion, or try to persuade anyone to go against their religious beliefs. He simply explains his own theory of how the universe was created. He lays out the scientific facts, explaining the Bible as a wonderful addition and reference to science but that it is not meant to be taken literally.
I could not put this book down. I’m looking forward to reading the other 32+ books Parks has written.
