Manias, Casinos, Bubbles and Crashes
With incomparable wisdom, writing and analytical skills, and wit, world renowned economist E. Ray Canterbery traces the history of the major speculative episodes in the world economy over the last three centuries. He begins with Tulipmania and ends with bitcoin speculation in exposing the way in which normally sane people display reckless abandon in the pursuit of profit. Canterbery shows how our notoriously short financial memory is what creates the conditions for market collapse. Throughout, the market is considered sacrosanct, much to the regret of the losers. By recognizing certain signs and understanding what causes them we can guard against future collapses and have a better hold on the country’s (and our own) financial destiny.

Hybrid Epistemology as a Solution to Reductionism-Physicalism Issues
This book provides an introspection into overlooked aspects of physical science: overrated standards, an Aristotelian perspective, and underappreciated paradigms. Combining two works, it explores physical science - describing the world scientifically and consistently - through two themes.First, it shows that while an experimental hypothesis approach succeeds due to the availability of the physical world, other strategies exist. The author proposes one approach focused on physical science’s extreme prioritization of certain goals, which may limit its exploration. Some overlooked ideas are thoroughly detailed.Second, it re-examines Aristotelian physics, contrasting it with modern science and analyzing its wholesale replacement. Beyond just comparing, it identifies Aristotelian virtues, citing recent supporting works. It illustrates an unfinished pre-modern science paradigm.Overall, readers gain a complete understanding of the hard science paradigm, including its hidden assumptions, exaggerations, evolutionary myths, and options for innovation. The study sheds new light on hard science’s modern pre-eminence, grounding analysis in principles, not achievements. This clarifies physical studies’ roots, each paradigm’s exaggerations and oversimplifications, allowing new approaches.

The Theory of Material Mind
In this ground-breaking theory, the mechanisms behind parapsychological phenomena are analysed and logical proof is provided for the truth of astrology and the existence of the soul and spirit. The personal conscious is revealed to be motivated by a metaphysical intelligence, known as the “god within,” which is the root of all paranormal phenomena. The theory also introduces the concept of “psycho-plasma,” a medium that connects all life past and present and is the source of telepathy and other paranormal phenomena. The existence of intelligent design is proposed as a complement to natural selection, with ID providing the motive force for change and NS serving as the template for design. Atheism is rejected and the existence of a supreme being and the afterlife is affirmed.

An Atheist View of the Bible
The Inspiration for An Atheist View of the Bible came from reading An Encyclopedia of Biblical Errancy by C. Dennis McKinsey.My reading of the Old Testament of the King James translation of the Bible, along with the William Buck translation of the Indian epic Mahabharata, has made me look at these ancient stories from a new and modern perspective: a perspective that the ancient scribes could not have possibly imagined and could not describe what they witnessed.The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins is an exceptionally good example of an alternative view on harmful medieval religious dogma.The Bible Unearthed by Israel Finkelstein challenges the fundamentalist reading and offers a controversial perspective the Bible.There is a growing interest in our ancient past, with the desire of many people to find the real truth behind the one-sided history that has been accepted and taught for far too long.
