*“The time has come to take concrete steps to bring about a real
transformation in the ways we educate our future generations. We need to
combine both an education of the mind with an education of the heart so
that our children grow up as responsible, caring citizens equipped to meet
the challenges of today's increasingly globalized world.”*

Dalai Lama

Introduction

Steve Detwiler created this publication with the support of Graham Hancock
and John Anthony West to share news and information on various disciplines
to include but not limited to paleontology, space sciences, genetics and
archaeology.  His goal behind sharing this publication has always been very
simple, by sharing knowledge we can make our world a better place.  This
publication is Mr. Detwiler’s contribution to bring people together and
share ideas and discoveries with his fellow humans.

I hope you enjoy this publication and that the content challenges and
inspires you!
