Stanton Berg, military veteran with a lifetime career as a worldwide forensic scientist and forensic expert specializing in firearms, has completed his/her new book, "Stan's 'Condensed' Encyclopedia about the Basics of the World We Live in and Our Lives in This World (Second Edition)": an insightful and thought-provoking assortment of various topics deemed by the author to be important areas of modern life that must be studied and understood by those living in today's society.

"The original condensed encyclopedia has been expanded from fifteen subjects to twenty-one subjects by adding six new subjects," writes Berg. "In addition, the original text has been expanded with much new information. This is [my] way of providing and creating a handy form of a quick reference source or sources that [I have] found to be interesting, and these are subjects that [I think] would be items or subjects frequently encountered in the daily news media of our present-day world. [I have] selected twenty-one subjects that are not only interesting but are also the subjects that are most likely to be in current-day news items. (Items of foul language, bad taste, or anti-Christian nature have been avoided; [I myself am] a dedicated Lutheran Christian that talks daily with God and gives thanks for God's gifts to [me].) [I have] tried to stay close to the facts on the selected twenty-one subjects but may on occasion inject [my] own opinion. [I hope] that all readers will find the second edition of [my] 'Condensed Encyclopedia about the Basics of the World We Live in and Our Lives in This World' will prove to be helpful, informative, and interesting to and for all."
