War correspondent Michael Wolfson’s
passion to end torture, genocide
and crimes against
humanity
leads to a scientific revolution in
truth technology that must survive
attempted destruction
by powerful secret, government,
corporate and underworld
organizations.
Human behavior based on verifiable truth sounds good, but not to the
array of powerful and
desperate adversaries any such truth science would face—for whom it
would spell the end
of secrecy, illicit power and influence, the fruits of corruption,
violence,
and crimes against humanity. Starting in Washington, DC.
For more on the actual bio-chemical truth technology based on current
"CSI"
GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Sprectrometry)
as seen in crime labs on
CSI New York,
CSI Miami, and
CSI Las Vegas,
Law and Order,
and other technically accurate crime scene technology televison and
films,

Epilog of
The
Nadjik Pheromone, by pioneer CSI forensic biochemist, Dr.

The Historic GUIDE TO CARMEL VALLEY
(No longer in
publication)
The
History Company researched,
created,
designed and published the first annual "Historic Carmel Valley Guide"
for the Carmel Valley Chamber of Commerce. It follows the same format
size and construction as the five annual volumes of the "Cannery Row
Visitors Guide" created and published for the Cannery Row Company
(1996-2001).
Conceived as a residents and visitors guide to
all of Carmel Valley, history acts as the umbrella theme under which
all of the other assets of living in or visiting Carmel Valley are
presented and unified.
Carmel Valley history, from the first Spanish
explorers to walk the beaches at Carmel Bay and their return to
establish the Alta California Mission system, to the ranches, wineries
and landmarks like "Rosie's Cracker Barrel" general store, are
presented with stunningly detailed contour maps of Carmel Valley's four
regions—from its mountains to the sea.
