Ingenious Nonsense

About the Book

Dr. Michael presents to us an overview of the three fundamental branches of science, physics, chemistry and biology, in a simple and easy to understand fashion. With this basic knowledge, he leads us to re-evaluate the alternative explanation of the natural world as envisioned by religion, philosophy and pseudoscience with their abstract ideas that have dominated human culture for thousands of years. The result is an intellectual journey to reach the truth and achieve the thought-after well-being of mankind and global peace.

About the Author

Dr. Fouad Bishay Michael was the Chief of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at Mercy Medical Center in Rockville Center, N.Y., and a teacher in the residency program at The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary Hospital in Manhattan. As a medical student at Cairo University, Egypt, he studied the human anatomy and physiology for two years and kept on expanding his knowledge in these subjects during his long medical career. His interest in neuroscience grew as he dealt with the head and neck area of the human body, where the five senses and the brain reside. After his retirement from the practice of medicine in January 2000, he moved to Charlottesville, Virginia, where he pursued his intellectual interests. He made use of what a great university has to offer, by auditing classes and participating in the Community Scholar program at the University of Virginia (UVA). His university studies included creative writing, literature, philosophy and biology. He spends his time reading, writing, sculpting, listening to classical music, and learning to play the flute.
