"I Never Write Books for the Good of My Health, but to Contribute and Help! I became very concerned in 2015, hence writing the book, regarding Personal users and Folk in Business (Brand, Image, Reputation) using Social Media and Social Networks. For I feared many Citizens and Businesses did not fully understand the Environment. I in fact wrote in the book sighting Facebook of Events to come, now that Day has arrived, as Governments Sharpen their Knives." Having been involved with the World Wide Web since it's commercial beginning, back in the mid 1990's as a Computer Scientist and Developer. I like to think I can offer some clear water, regarding such a phenomena we know as Social Media, and where even in a Virtual World, the real physical presence of Sir Isaac Newton's Natural Law is evident, and using both Quantum Mechanics and Natural Branching, even in an Artificial Intelligence environment, as written about in my book titled Creating the New Internet Super Highway. So this new realm is not for the complacent. As further evidence of this power today has been with the Weaponization of Social Media.

FULL DESCRIPTION OF BOOK: This book covers my notes and work when I had a eureka moment in early 2013 and realized it was possible to create a new 'Internet Super Highway' and one that could be a free collaboration program.The creating of a new higher level of the World Wide Web is a major breakthrough as demand becomes forever greater surrounding more users and packet data.Every web site owner can embrace and adopt this new virtual world of development for a faster and more enjoyable connectivity experience from compression for their users and new customers.From careful research I was able to establish the average bounce rate of a business web site was over 40% and over 94% of all web sites are not optimized for their users or browser rendering engine technology software.So I decided to start flat packing things as folk would say, and by running optimization tools and tests, I found I could change the speed of any average web site, where it would perform at least 3 to 4 times faster by my methods, that I regard today in comparison to any other web sites being downloaded as super fast speed by stealth!BOOK BACK COVER DETAILS: The Internet and World Wide Web was created and invented from a physical world of computing.Today society operates in a Virtual World of Technology and born from that Creating The New Internet Super Highway.The arrival of a new era for greater advancement and beyond one dimensional thinking.Today there are over 94 million web sites and counting. It was only a matter of time by understanding the realms of Natural Law could be found even within a Virtual World Quantum Mechanics and Natural Branching busy at work reaching beyond convention for a faster method of packet data delivery by flat packing the World Wide Web by stealth.Quotation: "Even a virtual world created by technology, continues to be re-shaped by the power of Natural Law in the form of Quantum Mechanics and Natural Branching." Alastair R Agutter.This book is particularly relevant today for Web5G designers, programmers and developers for an insight to how packet data and photons travel with your information and the various speeds as we now start to embrace the new Web5G era!

PLEASE NOTE: I have updated this description due to some of the negative reviews. I had been asked for several years by Discus keepers for a quick guide, featuring the key points in a summary form. This book and guide is exactly a "Quick Guide" and the information is accurate, covering the key factors for a Discus Environment. I successfully bred Wild Discus in captivity and use to exchange ideas with colleagues and friends including Jack Whattley and Dr. Eduard Schmidt-Focke. In fact, my other books are very comprehensive and have some pictures given to me by Jack and Eduard. When successfully breeding Discus and rearing different strains, in the 70's and 80's, one of the key factors was "Water" and risk aversion, keeping it simple, along with many others, but changed water on mass from our taps, as I was on most days carrying out water changes in my fish house amounting to 3 to 4,000 gallons a day. Tap water was used, and was chlorinated, and the small amount of chlorine that dissapates in a few hours serves to keep fish disease free, also keeping amonia and nitrate levels down even further. My biggest frustration over the years is that many Hobbyists and Aquarists get carried away with commercialism in the way of products. The biggest mistake Aquarists make is trying to change their water to the believed needs of the fish from articles written. Whereas the secret to breeding these majestic species, symphysodon (Discus), is to acclimatize the fish to the water, so you literally have water in massive amounts on tap literally! Many articles written over the years, especially in recent times are commercially driven and related to keep publications in existence, and most of the articles are nonsense, written by novices. The key to keeping Discus is risk aversion like I said, and this is pointed out in all the other books I have written over four decades. The Discus Book Second Edition for example, is one of the most comprehensive books ever written to date on the subject. All the reference point covered in the book are based on first hand experience. Regrettably, all I can do is try to accommodate every Aquarist, all of who have different expectations with varying experience. This is as I say a quick guide, but covers exacting conditions and temperatures etc. Best Wishes, Alastair R Agutter Author Keeping Discus Fish Quick Guide Book, has been written by the author after many requests by hobbyists, and novices, taking up the keeping of Discus (symphysodon) Tropical Fish, as the preferred species they wish to successfully keep. The Discus is a highly evolved and very intelligent species, and there are certain golden rules and methods found in this book, that Aquarists need to adhere too, and apply, when successfully keeping these majestic beautiful species in the interests of their welfare. The Guide Covers: Discus Fish Origins, Discus Fish Aquarium Sizes, Buying Discus Fish Advice, Discus Water Conditions, Discus Fish Filtration, Discus Fish Water Temperatures, Discus Fish Feeding Routines, Discus Fish Diseases, Discus Breeding and Spawning.

****The Parents Guide To The Art of Negotiation has been written by a parent for parents**** We all want to be good Parents in our life time. But the journey is one of endurance, joy and heartache. In our society today there are many books and questionable experts on caring for Children and bringing them up. The recent programmes on television, in many cases amount to child abuse and gross ignorance written by the utterly mindless, but perhaps this again reflects on our society today! I never knew the answer then, as a young man just before leaving the forces. But I had an opportunity to ask a spiritualist what my best job would be? Filled with ambition, I was open to suggestions be it a scientist, lawyer, doctor etc. But the answer I got was as a "Father" and looking back some thirty plus years on, I knew the answer to be right. It may seem strange for a man to write on such a subject, sadly still in today's society few really appreciate the thoughts of man and especially when it comes to the love and well-being of their Children. Having been blessed with 5 children and today, beginning to read and hear about my expressed views in this book, now being covered by the media and press. I know the content of this book is invaluable when it comes to common sense, love and care. Beyond the superficial material nonsense of our society today, if we all paused and looked around at all other life forms, we would finally appreciate our life's purpose is to love and create life. Such views are not romantic whims, but a scientific fact in relation to Natural Law and Quantum Mechanics. The biggest and most important job in our lives is being a parent. It is rewarding and after time, such an experience begins to put all other things and events into perspective. I leave you with this Quote; "As Parents the best we can ever do is to always love our Children. For regardless of our views they will always go their own way." Alastair R Agutter I hope this book can be a unique and valuable reference, resource and companion for you and found within the following key chapters. Chapter One - Preparing To Start Your Family Chapter Two - A New Baby Arrives and How to Care as a Parent Chapter Three - Those Great Fun Moments Begin, Little Toddlers Chapter Four - Starting Out in Life Infant School for Your Little One Chapter Five - Building a Strong Relationship and Junior School Chapter Six - Senior School and My Child Has Become an Alien Chapter Seven - Further Education and Adulthood of Your Children Chapter Eight - Being There As Parents in Their Relationships Parenting never ends, it only begins!

Climate Change and Conservation for me started over 50 years ago. In fact, in the introduction of my first published book in 1989, I warned of Climate Change and Deforestation. So as a Marine Biologist and Ichthyologist, starting my apprenticeship at the waters edge at just 7 years of age, this book has something to say.I hope you grab a copy of the book to gauge what is really going on, and how our lives are being affected now. Many of the views and reports today being aired surrounding climate change by the United Nations, Governments, and Institutions, can very often seem distant issues and have no bearing, or relevance, to folks real lives.To most folk 40 to 50 years ago "climate change" was probably not on anyone's radar. However, even back in the 1960's and 1970's there did exist signs of change then, and not for the better. Please read on.....As each year has past on, even as a small boy to a young man, you would notice change and decline to our environment, less fish, less worms and an ever increasing film of dead algae and oil spillage caught in the saltwater pools and also covering silt banks and sand bars with a distinct smell. The warning and pre-cursor to our impact on Earth and especially surrounding fossil fuels, came with the sinking of SS Torrey Canyon off the Cornish Coast in 1967, spilling over 120,000 tons of crude oil that even reached the Thames Estuary, leaving massive devastation to the environment around Britain.So my book here "The Reality of Climate Change" provides an accurate account of how everyday Folks lives are now being affected, at the coal face as they say!In the book, I wrote and warned of serious neurological diseases from air pollution including Alzheimer's that I was convinced like other degenerative diseases of cell damage has been caused from air pollution toxins, preventing the renewal of brain cell tissues and other critical nerve system cell structures.I felt compelled to write this book, as I really care about our home (Mother Earth) and all the world's majestic life creatures we share it with. No longer can the few of us do all the heavy lifting, we need your help to challenge our negligent politicians and Corporate Empires.Now since writing the book, I am pleased to see more folk in the media are now starting to feature "Climate Change" and especially welcome Sky Broadcasting launching "Ocean Sea Rescue" exposing the plight to our dying Seas, Rivers and Oceans."On the 12th of October 2015 BBC's Newsnight Team Broadcast a News Feature on Air Pollution which confirms my findings in this 'NEW' Book on Climate Change regarding serious Health issues including Respiratory Disorders, Dementia, Alzheimer's etc.""On Monday the 22nd of November 2015 there was a Special Sky News Report, where HRH Prince Charles accurately stated the planet faces catastrophe and needs to be put on life support now to prevent ever increasing disasters as a result of Climate Change."At the time of writing this book, there are two specific numbers you need to remember and these are 275 and 400!What relevance are the above numbers you may rightly ask?FACT: 275 Is the parts per million number of Carbon Dioxide for starting all of life on Earth and in layman terms, many millions of years ago.FACT: 400 Is the parts per million number of Carbon Dioxide today in the Earth's atmosphere and these factual measurements are courtesy of friends and colleagues at NASA (nasa.gov).Ever wondered why there is a rise in Respiratory Disorders, Alzheimer's, Dementia the list goes on....over 50,000 folk in Britain will die this year and rising from air pollution. Governments target the smokers as a diversionary tactic, yet diesel vehicles, including public transport is just, if not more lethal to your health!Enjoy the book, for I know you will find it to be an eye opener!

The Theory of Particle Matter Frequencies and Multiple Universes Book I wrote this paper some years back now, and I know many would think I am stark raving mad. But I am pleased to see that the Science community in the last year, or so, is now coming around to my theory, and the recent programme by Professor Brian Cox, provides greater evidence and logic surrounding the related subject area, sometimes referred to as zero point, inflation and convergence. The Theory of Particle Matter and Multiple Universes, is a work for recording the author's findings regarding the big questions humanity have always been asking. A book for the big thinkers in our society and great young minds looking beyond the canvas and closet thinking. The Theory of Particle Matter Frequencies and Multiple Universes asks, is there more beyond the canvas that we all see! I hope many in the Science community and great young minds acquire this book covering my work. Quantum leaps for humanity have always come from looking at something with a different approach. My findings have arrived not as a mathematician, but from studying the life cycles of Natural Law and how Quantum Mechanics functions continuosly seeking workarounds and refinement. By understanding these conditions and encapsulating all dimensions regarding volume, space and conditions. Can you then quantify and apply these rules and laws throughout the cosmos and all that we know. Is time, space, motion, natural law, quantum mechanics and natural branching all related to an expanding analytical data membrane we describe as the big soup or grand scheme. Do we really understand the multiple facets of energy forms that exist? Albert Einstein once conceded by saying "God has a sense of humour" regarding the other! Quotation: "If the spirit of your imagination is limited, your journey of discovery will be very short." Alastair R Agutter Stephen Hawking has concluded that the "Big Bang" derived from just "Energy" but there has to be another. For without it, an event, or execution, cannot take place!
