One such fork in the road appeared when we discovered the peculiar nature of electrons, although I am not sure that people realized it was a fork in the road at the time. By choosing to view these particles as unthinking bits of matter/energy, mankind was essentially forced to follow a certain path. We have been forced to try and conceptualize thought, or consciousness, as being some sort of phenomenon that arises from the functioning within an entity.

The first volume of John Erickson's study of Stalin's war with Germany. It aims to show the inept command structures of the Soviet Union and the humiliation as her armies fell back before the tide turned at Stalingrad.
This book traces Russian campaigns from the counterattack at Stalingrad to the fall of Berlin and the capture of Prague. It explores in detail Stalin's wartime relations with Roosevelt and Churchill and examines the evolution of his policies toward Poland and the Balkans.

In Islam and Postcolonial Narrative, John Erickson examines four major authors from the 'third world'.
In 1969, John Erickson was twelve years old, and he found himself in the hospital, checking out some serious headaches and a slight loss of his eyesight. He would have nine operations over the next three years to save his life, but he would become legally blind in the process. He came to see that blindness was far different than he thought, and that other people’s perception of and reaction to his blindness was far different than he ever expected.
