The Story of Homo Loquens

In the first part of this book I discussed how the human brain developed due to the development of language; In the second and third part, I analyzed all aspects which are mentioned below. - prehistoric humans lived in a terrestrial atmosphere were C14 isotope concentration was intermittently higher than usual because a chain of geomagnetic events occurred in this epoch; - the C14 isotopes were incorporated into plants, and transmitted by ingestion to animals in the form of C14-Glucose; - biological processes involving C14-Glucose in humans conducted to a reduction of organic production of nitric oxide; - a lesser apport of nitric oxide favored a healthier cellular development that decreased the sensitivity to viruses and pathogens; this aspect helped humans to migrate and better adapt to new environments; - but for the most of it, the decline of nitric oxide led to significant increases in neurogenesis that stimulated the brain plasticity, but also, it favored a chain of biological changes in the human brain; - all these changes together made the human brain to develop a language; - the language development introduced the features of assembling and disassembling; these features are those implied in producing every technology we ever imagined; - the unique mechanism involved by language delivered the imagination on which is based our civilization.

It was never in author Joe Gilliland's plan to become a teacher, certainly not a college teacher and most certainly not an English teacher. But that's what happened, and he's never looked back. In A Teacher's Tale, he explains how by neither planning for nor seeking a life of learning and teaching, lacking a syllabus or lesson plan, he discovered that a life in academe lay in his path-a path he's followed for more than fifty years. A Teacher's Tale begins in 1932 with Gilliland's first experiences in schooling and concludes in the summer of 1955 just as he completes his apprenticeship and stands on the brink of becoming a qualified instructor in a small college in east Texas. This memoir presents a collection of stories about his experiences as a teacher and a college student. A story of schooling deeply immersed in the arts and humanities, A Teacher's Tale shares Gilliland's love of the university and how it compelled him to seek a life devoted to teaching, primarily in the community college arena. Through this narrative, he brings together a philosophy of higher education based on the importance of arts and humanities in today's high-tech world.

A Teacher’s Tale: A Memoir

Earth, 24th century; shattered by a man made cataclysm that caused tectonic plates to shift, mass extinctions, accelerated mutations of wildlife and almost obliterated humanity as a species. Only residual pockets remained save for one, The Republic of New Zealand which survived relatively unscathed and now was technically advanced although few in number and who's citizens had long ago taken measures to conceal themselves from the rest of the world. Until word came of an advanced civilization called The Realm and ruled by an unknown entity called the Angel. A retired Ranger, Jon Te Kawa was pressed into active service and tasked with infiltrating this empire which scans had shown to be warlike and a potential threat. Already haunted by night visions of an impossibly beautiful girl who seemed to be reaching out for his help, he finds this alien compulsion growing stronger as he nears the Realm. High above a starcruiser orbited, full of colonists who were fleeing a dying world and looking to re establish themselves on this planet their ancestors fled aeons ago. Aeyshia, a healer and like the vast majority of her people, having extra sensory powers was similary tasked with examining the indigenous peoples for compatibility. It was to be her last trip to the surface when her shuttle was destroyed with her the only survivor. Unable to defend herself she is easily captured and sold into sexual slavery to a sadistic overlord of the Realm and imprisoned where Jon and Christoph, his new ally were heading. Yet there was hope. Since coming into orbit she found herself having visions of a dark haired, feral man; as handsome in his own way as many of her menfolk but who exuded an unknown compulsion over her. She continually reached out to him while growing stronger in her bondage. Then came the day when she reached breaking point, exploding in cataclysmic psychic fury; sweeping Jon up and melding with him to crush the city's oppressors and liberate the city. But they find themselves in a war as the Angel sends Her army to crush the rebellion, headed by the High Guard who were almost impossible to kill. Jon and Aeyshia, newly bonded, had to survive this overwhelming force. And each other.
