Walking in the Sacred Manner is an exploration of the myths and culture of the Plains Indians, for whom the everyday and the spiritual are intertwined and women play a strong and important role in the spiritual and religious life of the community. Based on extensive first-person interviews by an established expert on Plains Indian women, Walking in the Sacred Manner is a singular and authentic record of the participation of women in the sacred traditions of Northern Plains tribes, including Lakota, Cheyenne, Crow, and Assiniboine. Through interviews with holy women and the families of women healers, Mark St. Pierre and Tilda Long Soldier paint a rich and varied portrait of a society and its traditions. Stereotypical images of the Native American drop away as the voices, dreams, and experiences of these women (both healers and healed) present insight into a culture about which little is known. It is a journey into the past, an exploration of the present, and a view full of hope for the future.

The genius of the wee Doctor behind the electronic voice on trial?Stephen Hawking was a remarkable man who outlived the doctors who forecast his early death.His influence was significant.Nonetheless, many noted physicists have detected flaws in his Grand Design theory of the universe.No human is perfect; that's why all research and theories must face exacting scrutiny.Verifying theories is the basis of the scientific method.Evidence must be beyond reasonable doubt: the rationale jurors, scientists, and logical people use to settle an issue.Stephen Hawking On Trial documents serious errors in the final theory of an elder physicist.In-depth analyses by renowned cosmologists revealed inconsistencies in Hawking’s thesis:• Hypotheses vital to his theory lacked supportive empirical data• Three major questions he didn't discuss deserved real answers• What we factually know, but more importantly, what Hawking's theory failed to explainCritical roadblocks in today's cosmology"Theoretical physics is at a crossroads right now…In a sense we’ve entered a very deep crisis.”Dr. Neil Turok – Director of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical PhysicsCosmology doesn’t thrive on uncertainty.Dr. Hawking's Grand Design thesis increased the uncertainty factor.That's why independent investigators legitimately asked: “Can we have a look at your data?”Gravity: the most common force in natureStephen Hawking On Trial analyzes how Dr. Hawking misapplied gravitation, and used unproven hypotheses, to support a Grand Design theory.It's unjustifiable because hypotheses are simply ideas, hopes, and aspirations.Most physicists admit that dark matter and dark energy are unknown factors which comprise 96% of the universe.That's why nearly all physicists admit that science only understands 4% of the cosmos.Despite the evidence, Professor Hawking declared on a national TV broadcast:“The scientific account is complete."Can our 4% understanding factually represent a complete account of the universe?"I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned."Dr. Richard Feynman – eminent physicist acclaimed for his work in quantum electrodynamics and particle physicsMost physicists agree that our present knowledge of the laws of physics are far from settled.Thus, there is legitimate cause for Hawking's Grand Design theory to stand trial.Although Dr. Hawking portrayed his Grand Design theory as scientific (meaning supported by data) his "evidence" turned out to be mostly clouds of caveats and probabilities.Very few of his ideas were supported by genuine data.“As a scientist and as an educator, I like the idea that we believe things because there’s evidence.”Dr. Richard Dawkins – Oxford University Professor & Bestselling Author"Stephen Hawking On Trial is compelling reading for anyone with an interest in physics and cosmology. It may challenge your beliefs, or maybe not, but it's a fascinating read in either case."J. Chambers – Amazon Top 10 ReviewerUnfortunately, some readers are attacking the author of this book.Of course, ad hominem slander only reveals an inability to address logical arguments.Negative attacks with no supporting data is the method of neophytes, not scientists.Clearly, such people haven't read the book and are ignorant of the points renowned physicists have thoroughly examined.Please judge the controversy yourself, free from ad hominem defamation.Just click the Look Inside feature to read the first 10% of the book for Free.When you're satisfied, download your copy to study the comprehensive scientific discussions.BONUS: Videos that clarify quantum principles of particle entanglement and the double slit experiment are included in the book.

The genius of the wee Doctor behind the electronic voice on trial? Stephen Hawking's influence in cosmology has been significant. Why put him on trial? The public has a right to investigate Professor Hawking's Grand Design theory about the origin of the universe. Evaluating a theory is the foundation of the scientific method. All scientific research must stand up to exacting scrutiny. This is the reason bestselling author, Pierre St. Clair, extracts science fact from social fantasy via the judgement of 64 renowned physicists. This book uncovers a widespread turmoil in astrophysics “Theoretical physics is at a crossroads right now…In a sense we’ve entered a very deep crisis.” Dr. Neil Turok – Director of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics The author exposes hidden facts behind the headlines because an essential initiative in cosmology is being neglected. Therefore, unbiased investigators may reasonably challenge, “Let’s have a look at the evidence.” "Stephen Hawking On Trial is compelling reading for anyone with an interest in physics and cosmology. It may challenge your beliefs, or maybe not, but it's a fascinating read in either case." J. Chambers – Amazon Top 10 Reviewer Society doesn’t thrive on uncertainty. Does Hawking's latest theory eliminate uncertainty? All evidence must be beyond reasonable doubt – the rationale that logical people and jurors use to settle an issue. "This is the first book that has assembled the origins of cosmology as evidence like opposing counsels. Readers can weigh testimonies as a judge who demands rigorous arguments and proofs. St. Clair has the detached presence of mind to act as both scales of justice." D. M. Shapiro – Los Angeles filmmaker The author provides an in-depth analysis of Stephen Hawking’s Grand Design theory which lacks supporting data yet relegates other models of the universe to the dustbin of history. Author St. Clair reveals: • What we factually know and, more importantly, what we do not know about the universe • The one question that is never asked but deserves an answer • Why many hypotheses lacking data are put forward as relevant theories Gravity is the most common force in nature Stephen Hawking On Trial challenges Dr. Hawking who misapplies gravitation to support his ideas which he promotes unjustifiably as a genuine theory despite a lack of contributory data. "Hawking and a few others are doing a disservice to science by exaggerating what we know and therein confusing the public. This book sets the record straight." D. Friedmann – Canadian author NASA physicists admit that dark matter and dark energy are unknown factors, yet together they comprise 96% of the universe. Although physicists admit they only understand 4% of the universe, Professor Hawking declares on a national TV broadcast, “The scientific account is complete." Can any scientific account of the cosmos be complete if we only understand 4% of the universe? Stephen Hawking portrays his ideas of the universe as scientific and supported by evidence when in reality they are mostly clouds of caveats and probabilities. Therefore, we have legitimate cause for his ideas to stand trial. “As a scientist and as an educator, I like the idea that we believe things because there’s evidence.” Dr. Richard Dawkins – Oxford University Professor & Bestselling Author "This is the best Science book that I’ve read in quite a while. A Science book that views Hawking’s work and statements critically in a clear concise manner. I’ve been aware of the criticisms of Hawking’s work... " H. Lipman – American author
