A book accessible to all readers, whatever their level of numeracy ... an excellent introduction to what theoretical biologists get up to in trying to understand evolutionary and ecological ideas. ― NatureWhy are there only two sexes? Why do stags restrain their aggression in the middle of a fight? Can it ever pay to be nice in a world of selfish individualists? The answers, according to this informative and enjoyable volume, can often be found in games like hide and seek, poker, and the prisoner's dilemma. Author Karl Sigmund applies the ideas and methods of game theory and mathematical modeling to evolution, sex, animal behavior, and aggression in Games of Life, which was included in Ian Stewart's Top 10 Popular Mathematics Books in the Guardian (1/18/2012).
Starting with artificial life and self-replicating machines, the book examines pursuit games between predators and prey and draws parallels between games of chance and the randomness of molecular evolution. Other topics include the bizarre double games played by chromosomes and applications of game theory to animal behavior. Key topics appear at the start of each chapter, and endnotes provide references for readers wishing to seek out further information. This playful approach to understanding evolution and its central issues of sex, survival, conflict, and cooperation offers a captivating modern perspective on matters of life and death.

You are not likely to hear about this in church.....
Format: Kindle
Spiritual warfare is real. Many are called(the general body of believers). Few are chosen from within the body of believers. Chosen ones must be spiritually trained for such a time as this. (present day, 2025 and forward). When God allows our spiritual eyes to open, we see darkness first, then the light. It's just like waking up in the morning. Jesus Christ is with us thru it all. Psalms 23....
If you, my anointed brother or sister in Christ, are going thru the valley of the shadow...get this book, vet it with the Living Word of God and let The Holy Spirit lead you. Be blessed!

How To Be Enoch In A Few Easy Steps
Format: Kindle
The title of this book is a tad misleading. Mike certainly does a great job of helping the reader deal with the issue of seeing a lot of dark and negative things when learning to see in the spirit. But that's not all. In this book, Mike includes a lot of other worthwhile steps and exercises to help you see in the spirit in general. In fact, he includes some of this in most of his books, but the repetition necessary. You've got to get the basics down to get it to work.
I think people get in the habit of thinking, "If I just read one more book on using the spiritual senses, it'll finally happen for me." But that's not how it works. To see and hear in the spirit and walk in the spirit realm (literally), you have got to do the basic exercises Mike suggests, and you've got to make it a lifestyle.
In this book, as with pretty much all of Mike's books, he essentially tells you how to be just like Enoch. Enoch didn't have to be the only person in the antediluvian age to have a living relationship with the Lord. Anybody could've had that, in any age, regardless of their background. But they just weren't interested. It was for Enoch just as much as it was for Cain, Saul, and King Manasseh. The Lord wasn't holding out on anybody. Enoch was just the guy who wanted that relationship. Some people think, "If the Lord wants that, he'll show me himself!" But that's baloney. The Lord himself directly spoke to Cain. To the children of Israel at Sinai. To Judas Iscariot. But they all turned away to their own delusions. It all comes back to the same reality: Jehovah isn’t holding out on anyone. He’s fully present, fully available. It’s just that most people, even when told exactly how to wake up, would rather stay dreaming.
Here, Mike provides a toolbox and skillset, with training included, to be like Enoch. But, like Enoch, you've got to choose to follow that path, and not settle. Then, the things that Mike suggests will start working for you. Like all of Mike's mystical teachings on the spiritual life, this one's well worth it. Just stick with it, and don't settle.

Great, easy to understand explanations
Format: Kindle
I definitely needed this! I have been enduring a long period of spiritual attacks in the natural and physical realms. It has helped me to better understand my calling, even though I have been serving God as a spirit filled and spirit baptized follower of Yeshua.
