Since prehistoric times, he knew that there were going to be occasions, when suddenly powerful spates of water would come churning down mountains, sweeping everything before them. The rains which affected mankind 7000 years ago, for 40 days and 40 nights must have brought its accompanying floods, which wiped out a large percentage of mankind. However, there were still survivors, those who got to other lands and raise their families there. These tales of the great floods have been a historic part and parcel of historic knowledge passed down the generations since the times of Gilgamesh. Even all these millenniums later, mankind is still vulnerable to floods, but with a little bit of technological know-how, and a little bit of preparedness, he can save his family from total disaster. Remember that this is the 21st century, and anybody who is under the impression that This Thing Cannot Happen to Me, is living in a fool’s paradise. We may be better prepared to survive, with State and Center rescue programs started up by our local armies, or our governments, to take care of us in case of a flood, but even those are not completely hundred percent effective and reliable, especially the weather is inclement. Survival of the fittest means that many people would rather be safe than sorry, and these includes people of rescue groups, working on flood disaster management and rescue.

The main message of this book is that people should be on their guard against both scare stories about risks to health, and claims for miracle cures of medical conditions. In the 21st century hardly a day passes without another article appearing in the media about a new treatment for a particular disease, new ways of improving our health by changing our lifestyle or new foodstuffs that claim to increase (or decrease) the risk of heart disease, cancer and the like. But how should the general public react to such claims, given that some of the journalists writing them focus on the sensational rather than the mundane and often have no qualms about sacrificing accuracy and honesty for the sake of a good story? Perhaps the wisest initial response is one of healthy scepticism, followed by an attempt to discover more about the details of the studies behind the reports. But most people are not, and have little desire to become experts in health research. By reading this book, however, these non-experts can, with minimal effort, learn enough about the scientific method to differentiate between those health claims, warnings and lifestyle recommendations that have some merit and those that are unproven or simply dishonest. So if you want to know if ginseng can really help with your erectile dysfunction, if breast cancer screening is all that politicians claim it to be, if ECT for depression is really a horror treatment and should be banned, if using a mobile phone can lead to brain tumours and how to properly evaluate the evidence from health and lifestyle related studies, then this is the book for you.
