 Free Download The Perspicacious Percipient: How to Investigate UFOs and Other Insane Urges - Selected Writings of John A. Keel By John Keel, Andrew Colvin 2015 | 315 Pages | ISBN: 1514875365 | EPUB | 1 MB New Saucerian Press is to pleased to present "The Perspicacious Percipient: How to Investigate UFOs and Other Insane Urges," a collection of magazine articles by John A. Keel, the man many consider to have been not only the premiere investigator of all things unusual and "Fortean," but who was also our own, twentieth-century"Mark Twain." Many of the articles in this anthology and its companion volumes, "Flying Saucer to the Center of Your Mind," "The Outer Limits of the Twilight Zone," "Searching For the String," "The Great Phonograph in the Sky," and "The Passionate Percipient: Illusions I Have Known And Loved" were revolutionary, and explored ideas popularized in Keel's classic books. Written in Keel's engaging trademark style, they are sure to delight fans with their fresh, unparalleled insights into the nature of reality.In these pages, John Keel displays the keen observational skills and investigative tenacity that made him the enfant terrible of ufology for decades. In this no-holds-barred analysis - much of it written decades ago - Keel shreds many of the sacred-cow beliefs still held in ufological and "cryptozoological" circles today, and presents theories so radical that they are only now becoming accepted: the "4-D" or "interdimensional" thesis; the "breakaway civilization" theory; the possible role of "ancient aliens" in human history; the synthetic and/or hallucinatory nature of many "alien abduction" and "Men in Black" encounters; the role of spy agencies in paranormal research; and the alarming connection between UFOs, animal mutilations, and attacks on unsuspecting humans. "The Perspicacious Percipient" covers a wide variety of topics, such as the illusory nature of our physical senses, statistical problems in UFO research, and how to investigate phenomena such as flying saucers, creature sightings, Men in Black, physical trace evidence, poltergeists and other manifestions, radio anomalies, and phantom ships, planes, submarines, helicopters, and humans. This special edition features Keel's never-before-published, six-part article, "New Perspectives," in which Keel deftly explains quantum physics and what it means to ufology and Forteana. Keel also revisits the Mothman situation, providing us with a rare summary of those events in the Afterword. Throughout these pages, Keel displays the delightful wit, affable charm, and impassioned intellectual capabilities that made him famous.

Crosby 2014 | 264 Pages | ISBN: 0813226899 | PDF | 1 MB It has been said that John Henry Newman "stands at the threshold of the new age as a Christian Socrates, the pioneer of a new philosophy of the individual Person and Personal Life." Newman's personalism is found in the way he contrasts the "theological intellect" and the "religious imagination." Newman pleads for the latter when he famously says, in words that John F. Crosby takes as the motto of his book, "I am far from denying the real force of the arguments in proof of a God . . . but these do not warm me or enlighten me; they do not take away the winter of my desolation, or make the buds unfold and the leaves grow within me, and my moral being rejoice." In The Personalism of John Henry Newman, Crosby shows the reader how Newman finds the life-giving religious knowledge that he seeks. He explores the "heart" in Newman and explains what Newman was saying when he chose as his cardinal's motto, cor ad cor loquitur (heart speaks to heart). He explains what Newman means in saying that religious truth is transmitted not by argument but by "personal influence." Crosby also examines Newman's personalist account of what it is to think; he explains what it is for a person to think not just by rule but by his "spontaneous living intelligence." Crosby examines the subjectivity of Newman, and shows how the modern "turn to the subject" is enacted in Newman. But these personalist aspects of Newman's mind, which connect him with many streams of contemporary thought, are not the whole of Newman; they stand in relation to something else in Newman, something that Crosby calls Newman's radically theocentric religion. Newman is a modern thinker, but not the modernist he is sometimes mistaken for. The inexhaustible plenitude of Newman derives from the union of apparent opposites in him: the union of his teaching on the heart with his theocentric teaching, of the subjectivity of experience with the objectivity of revealed truth. Crosby writes for a broad non-specialist public just as Newman did.

Free Download The Perils of Populism (The Feminist Bookshelf: Ideas for the 21st Century) edited by Arlene Stein, Sarah Tobias English | September 16, 2022 | ISBN: 1978825315, 1978825307 | True EPUB | 192 pages | 1.8 MB From Donald Trump in the U.S. to Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, Viktor Orbán in Hungary, and Narendra Modi in India, right-wing populist leaders have taken power in many parts of the world. While each country's populist movement is distinct, they are united by several key features, including the presence of a boastful strongman leader and the scapegoating of vulnerable populations, especially immigrants, people of color, LGBTQ people, and women.  Free Download The Perfect Crime By Jean Baudrillard 2008 | 176 Pages | ISBN: 1844672034 | EPUB | 1 MB In his new book, perhaps the most cogent expression of his mature thought, Jean Baudrillard turns detective in order to investigate a crime which he hopes may yet be solved: the "murder" of reality. To solve the crime would be to unravel the social and technological processes by which reality has quite simply vanished under the deadly glare of media "real time."But Baudrillard is not merely intending to lament the disappearance of the real, an occurrence he recently described as "the most important event of modern history," nor even to meditate upon the paradoxes of reality and illusion, truth and its masks. The Perfect Crime is also the work of a great moraliste: a penetrating examination of vital aspects of the social, political and cultural life of the "advanced democracies" in the (very) late twentieth century. Where critics like McLuhan once exposed the alienating consequences of "the medium," Baudrillard lays bare the depredatory effects of an oppressive transparency on our social lives, of a relentless positivity on our critical faculties, and of a withering 'high definition' on our very sense of reality.

 Free Download The Pentateuch: Interpreting Biblical Texts Series (Intepreting Biblical Texts) By Terence E. Fretheim 1996 | 183 Pages | ISBN: 0687008425 | EPUB | 1 MB In this volume, Terence E. Fretheim seeks to introduce the Pentateuch to modern readers, stressing its continuing capacity to speak a word of--or about--God. The two chapters of Part One provide an orientation to the critical study of the Pentateuch and present a proposal for reading the Pentateuch in terms of its rhetorical strategy. That strategy, Fretheim argues, is designed in such a way as to have a certain effect upon its readers, most basically to shape their faith and life. The five chapters of Part Two focus on the individual books that comprise the Pentateuch. |
