The Strange Order of Things
Author: Antonio Damasio
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307908763
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
From one of our preeminent neuroscientists: a landmark reflection that spans the biological and social sciences, offering a new way of understanding the origins of life, feeling, and culture. The Strange Order of Things is a pathbreaking investigation into homeostasis, the condition of that regulates human physiology within the range that makes possible not only the survival but also the flourishing of life. Antonio Damasio makes clear that we descend biologically, psychologically, and even socially from a long lineage that begins with single living cells; that our minds and cultures are linked by an invisible thread to the ways and means of ancient unicellular life and other primitive life-forms; and that inherent in our very chemistry is a powerful force, a striving toward life maintenance that governs life in all its guises, including the development of genes that help regulate and transmit life. In The Strange Order of Things, Damasio gives us a new way of comprehending the world and our place in it.

Pages : 201
Book Description
Out of Place Artifacts is a fascinating subject. There are too many of these unusual objects for them to be fakes. I’ve already written several books on this subject including “Strange Objects Which Should Not Exist”, “More Out of Place Objects”, and “A 300 Million Year Old Civilization Existed on Earth”. In this book I’ve compiled everything I could find out about these unusual finds from my prior three books and additional research. 54 artifacts are covered in detail. I’ve included all of this information except that specifically related to Aliens and UFOs since that information is in my books on those topics. The information here is presented in five parts: Part A: Artifacts Found in Historical Times Part B: Very Ancient Objects to Millions of Years Old Part C: A Civilization 300 Million Years Ago Part D: Human Footprints in Rock Part E: Artifacts of Undetermined Ages I hope you find all of this information as interesting as I do since it changes our understanding of the history of our planet in incredible ways.

Why People Believe Weird Things
Author: Michael Shermer
Publisher: Holt Paperbacks
ISBN: 1429996765
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
"This sparkling book romps over the range of science and anti-science." --Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs, and Steel Revised and Expanded Edition. In this age of supposed scientific enlightenment, many people still believe in mind reading, past-life regression theory, New Age hokum, and alien abduction. A no-holds-barred assault on popular superstitions and prejudices, with more than 80,000 copies in print, Why People Believe Weird Things debunks these nonsensical claims and explores the very human reasons people find otherworldly phenomena, conspiracy theories, and cults so appealing. In an entirely new chapter, "Why Smart People Believe in Weird Things," Michael Shermer takes on science luminaries like physicist Frank Tippler and others, who hide their spiritual beliefs behind the trappings of science. Shermer, science historian and true crusader, also reveals the more dangerous side of such illogical thinking, including Holocaust denial, the recovered-memory movement, the satanic ritual abuse scare, and other modern crazes. Why People Believe Strange Things is an eye-opening resource for the most gullible among us and those who want to protect them.

Stranger Than Science Stories and Facts

Book Description
I first read the book “Stranger Than Science” By Frank Edwards when I was about 10 years old and it was an important turning point in my life. The book has many stories of strange events and it really built my curiosity about the world. Later I went to Engineering School and also had many paranormal experiences from learning meditation and other practices. I have now researched and written over 100 books on strange and mysterious phenomena. My fascination with strange things has become a major passion in my life. This book is kind of an updated version of that famous Frank Edwards book based on my experiences and research of many phenomena. I’m sure you will find the stories in this book fascinating since they are all samples of much of what I experienced, researched, and have written about. It contains over 32 chapters of my favorite stories on various topics to provide a question mark for your beliefs and assumptions about the world and universe we live in. When you finish this volume maybe you will see my point of view which is that as much as we think we know about this world and the universe, there are still many mysteries and strange things out there.

Types of UFOs Observed in History
Author: Martin K. Ettington
Publisher: Martin K. Ettington
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
My goal in this book is to show the different types of UFOs reported throughout history and today. I’m not trying to prove whether these ships are real or not. I just thought that given the many thousands of sightings of UFOs there should be some commonalities between the sightings. Some of the questions I want to answer include: Are there any trends in these sightings? Is there an evolution in the design of these vehicles over time? Are there some common designs over time? Also, some of the UFOs sighted are likely fakes or secret projects built by the US government. I tried to show that information too. Just due to the number of stars in our galaxy I’m convinced that Aliens exist and have probably visited our planet thousands or even millions of year in the past-in addition to visiting in the present. This collection of historical photos, drawings, and descriptions should provide you with a narrative as to how these sightings have changed over time.

The Suppression of Truth in the United States and the World
Author: Martin K. Ettington
Publisher: Martin K. Ettington
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
In today’s world we live in a culture of truth suppression. This is true in representative democracies like the United States as well as full totalitarian dictatorships like Communist China. This book covers many areas of major lies like Global Warming, perverted doctrines taught in schools, Politics, News Suppression, Communist China, limitations in Spirituality, deficit spending, and problems with globalism. There are many different types of truth suppression and as much as we would like to think that we live in an advanced culture and world, this effort by different entities to suppress truth affects our lives negatively in many ways. The most direct effect is that we live in fear of the future of our world which is a big lie. This suppression also keeps us from fully realizing our spiritual natures and that we do have the ability to accomplish amazing things when we live with full honesty in our lives. I believe that individuals are closest to a state of happiness when they live their lives in truth. (See my book “A New Paradigm of Truth and Happiness” for more information.) There are actions we can take to correct this situation but they are mass actions which need many persons involved to have a real effect. A list of these actions are given later in this book.

Accepted Science & Paradigms Which Are Likely Wrong
Author: Martin K. Ettington
Publisher: Martin K. Ettington
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
As an engineer and student of science I try to keep up with publications of the latest discoveries and paradigm shifts in science around the world. I believe that there are several big problems with science today. First is that much science is biased which might be because some scientists want to keep their point of view prominent and the others because many focuses of science are supported by biased funding. This will be discussed in this book. The other issue is that many scientists limit their thinking to only support age old paradigms and refuse to accept changes to their theories or throw out evidence because it doesn’t conform their current beliefs. In this book we will cover many issues such as the belief among many cosmologists that the Big Bang never happened. We will also look at ideas we thought settled but which have lots of contrary evidence and anecdotal counter stories such as time travel and dimensional crossings. After you read this book you may question much of what is commonly accepted by scientists in the world today.
