The Role of the University in a Dysfunctional Society: A Book of Revelations by Steffy Sota Price verified 12 minutes ago

I am a ghost writer. In life, I had one of the greatest reputations in the academic world. This thought made me retch. Fame is the thing I had most wanted from childhood; and after I got it, I had no understanding whatsoever of its basis -- why people responded to what I said. I felt only disgust with my public "noble" character. I did not consider myself a scholar: I knew no languages except English, and I didn't see the point of a systematic study of literature. I did not consider myself a critic, either, and I was surprised whenever I heard myself referred to as one. I hated Hudson; I disliked most of my colleagues; I disliked teaching graduate students. After a routine disagreement over the merits of a dissertation, I refused to teach in the Graduate School again. I was frequently depressed, I had writer's block, and I drank too much. I did not even like my first name. I wished that I had been called Quentin or Dick. I held myself a discreet distance from any group with which I might be too quickly identified -- professors, critics, liberals, curmudgeons, writers. I was all of those things, of course; I could not deny it. But I resented being understood under the auspices of anything so insufficiently nuanced as a rubric. I wanted to feel superior without betraying to others my sense of low self esteem. A lot of psychic energy went into the care and maintenance of my persona. It was the price I paid for a life of the mind. I think of my intellectual life as a struggle, not energetic enough, against all the blindnesses and malign obfuscations of the academic world. For me, a liberal is a person who believes that the right economic system, the right political reforms, the right undergraduate curriculum, and the right psychotherapy will do away with unfairness, snobbery, resentment, prejudice, neurosis, and tragedy. People's political opinions may be rigid; but they are not necessarily rigorous. Political opinions tend to float up out of some mixture of sentiment, ...

The New America: Biden Off More Than He Can Chew by Jon Robert Quinn (1 Review)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Why did I write this book? Because sometimes things need to be said and sadly in this world we live in today, we are being silenced. In this book, I get into the Plandemic. This idea that we had to shut down our entire world for a 99.75% recovery rate. We get into racism in America and why the media is fuelling the rage. We also discuss why the government is bribing Americans in to socialism through stimulus and tax incentives. These are scary times and we must take America back before it's too late.

Cryptography in World War I: The History of the Efforts to Make and Break Secret Codes during the Great War by Charles River Editors Price verified one hour ago

World War I stood apart in many ways from earlier wars, not least in the way that it reached to nearly every corner of the planet and involved a noticeable segment of humanity's collective resources. Battles erupted not only on land and the sea's surface as they had for centuries, but also in the ocean depths and the windswept heights of the sky. Nearly every conceivable terrain saw use as a battlefield: the neat farmland and small towns of Western Europe; the streets of major cities; thick forests; open steppes stretching for hundreds of miles; deserts in Africa; rugged mountain ranges; and many other regions of the globe. But one of the war's most crucial struggles happened in the realm of the unseen, inside the human mind and amid the invisible flow of radio waves. Every war is a battle of wits as intelligence-gathering, tactics, and strategies clash, from the level of individual action up to the grand, overarching schemes of generals and statesmen. Intelligence took on a freshly urgent aspect in the Great War, however, as the fates of offensives, armies, and nations came to hang on the struggle to decrypt vital enemy radio traffic and military communications. World War I was also the first major conflict in which new electronic means of transmitting and receiving messages became a major factor in political and military operations. The electric telegraph was developed in the first half of the 19th century, and by 1850, there were several telegraph companies around the world providing a service that allowed virtually instantaneous communication over long distances. This was a major breakthrough, but the telegraph depended on the availability of wires to transmit messages between stations, meaning that if these wires were broken or damaged, communications were cut off. Late in the 19th century, there was another new development, the telephone, though this too relied on wires to transmit and receive information. At the same time, there was a new invention that ...

Funny God (Return to Grace Book 7) by Michael Adzema (10 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

FUNNY GOD: THE TAO OF FUNNY GOD AND THE MIND'S TRUE LIBERATION is a composition in three movements. It is activism, a prophecy, and a vision -- integrated by the idea of Funny God. "The Tao of Funny God" (Part One) unveils the necessary hero and understanding to face the imminent problems of humanity -- environmental, political, and social... issues of peace and war, planet and life. Lunar and solar theologies and the rise of the Goddess and its meaning are brought into focus. "Breaking News" (Part Two) is prophecy and good news framed as fiction... and some comedy. We see a coming together of heaven and earth unfold in the near future. With the pulling back of the curtain on the No-Form state of existence, brought about by very real near-death and death-death experiences, humanity finds itself on the brink of re-union with the rest of the consciousnesses of the Universe, which is revealed to be a Universe of Experience, shared. "The Mind's True Liberation" (Part Three) is vision -- philosophy, spirituality, and the answers to the questions and problems of Existence mixed with humor. It describes and elicits an attitude and understanding of life and action that is good-hearted, transcendent, and liberating. You will find yourself saying, "My God, that makes sense! Why have I never heard that before?" This book will leave you changed and smiling, at least. Some will taste enlightenment; others will sense liberation; and many will feel inspired and enthusiastic about participating in some of the grand and singular undertakings of our current age -- an age that Funny God reveals to be affording an opportunity for a life of fulfillment and wonder unlike any since the beginning of time. "these times are the coming together of heaven and earth... "we walk in realms of the mythical, the archetypal... "we are embraced by arms of Divinity... and find ourselves as fingers of God Herself... "we are the myths in motion... are witness to secrets of eternity finally ...
