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.
