How Women Saved Civilization: Lollipop's Tale
"Human civilization is in trouble. How come? The fault lies with some men, who have a genetic defect caused by eons of human evolution where strong men prone to violence were biologically selected because they were needed to protect women, children, and the tribe from enemies and wild animals. Times have changed. Now minatory men like Putin and Kim, who seem hell-bent on causing wars that may lead to thermonuclear destruction, are no longer useful or needed. They are anachronistic. Civilization would be better off without them. The solution is the return to women's values - peace, love, human care, free play, happiness, nourishment, service, altruism, empathy, succorance, environmentalism, and so forth - by removing men from power and establishing a world controlled by women. Lollipop's fictional tale tells us how she made all this come about. Despite many difficulties, Lollipop and her friends, male and female, establish a new form of government called Women's World, where peace and prosperity reign and wars are completely out of the question. Women's World used existing biological techniques to engineer the bad traits out of the Y chromosome, creating a new form of non-violent man who knows how to work and play well with others. In this exquisite titillative narrative, we explore complex notions about gender, power, and the consequences of scientific advances. How Women Saved Civilization is a manifesto that defines and underlines the salient problems of modern society and offers an alternative vision for the future while making for delightful and charmingly engaging reading."

Making Mental Might: How to Look Ten Times Smarter Than You Are
"Doctor Bernard Patten―erstwhile Memory Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine, founder of the first memory clinic at the Neurological Institute of New York, and author of scientific papers on memory therapy and memory problems―wants to help you to a better mind, a better memory, and, consequently, a better life. Memory degradation happens to everyone. Even people in good health forget where they park their cars or leave their reading glasses. Some draw a blank entering their PIN. Is the stove off? Cat fed? Door locked? Did you take your medication? Not sure? How come? These memory problems only get worse as we get older unless we employ mental exercises to improve memory now. Mountains of scientific research prove that mental exercise benefits the brain as much as physical exercise benefits the body. Mental gymnastics boosts brainpower, augments memory, and (in some cases) actually increases brain size. It can help prevent dementia, mental decline, and the much-feared Alzheimer's disease. Making Mental Might does not aim to increase your IQ or show you how to get smarter. It offers the proper mental training to look, sound, and perform worlds better. These techniques have helped hundreds of students at Rice University's School of Continuing Studies under Doctor Patten improve their working memory. They can do the same for you."
