The Author has written a lovely children's story to help kids confront, in a roundabout and fun way, the issue of immediate gratification, which plagues many children (and their parents). This issue is related through the story of a boy, Bill, who has a "gimme want wants" attitude that is not serving him well. Though the analogy of a pig in a pen, Bill's grandpa teaches him that a pig is best left in its pen, just like the gimme gimme want attitude is best kept contained. This story is a great way of communicating an important lesson, and parents will surely like the values it is teaching. I also think the story concept section was well written - the author clearly put a lot of thought into the underlying concept of this book. The book interactive nature is also great, and kids will benefit from putting the lessons of this story into practice.

What happens when we no longer die? Do we ever go to a paradise? Returning to Eden is a story of what humankind needs to do when it achieves immortality in this existence. It will be at least 250 years before humankind achieves immortality. Preparing for that eventuality will be difficult.

Unfortunately, for humankind, even 100 years in the future, people will still be engaged in hostile conflicts. These conflicts continually interrupt the symposium, and it takes the efforts of government and university security personnel to resolve the situation. How they do it is futuristic and not simple.

Hundreds of thousands of the modern-day Russian Jews find themselves in the United States, Israel, and elsewhere. What made them leave their motherland this time around?
