Arthur Conan Doyle

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

In "The History of Spiritualism, Vol. I," Arthur Conan Doyle embarks on an exploration of the spiritualist movement that gained momentum in the late 19th century, a period marked by fascination with the supernatural and the quest for understanding beyond the physical realm. The book artfully combines anecdotal narratives, historical context, and philosophical musings, employing a straightforward yet engaging literary style that reflects Doyle's characteristic clarity. As the first volume in a two-part series, it serves to illuminate the underlying principles of spiritualism, key figures, and notable events that shaped this controversial movement, presenting both proponents' and skeptics' views with intellectual rigor and an empathetic approach. Arthur Conan Doyle, renowned for creating the iconic detective Sherlock Holmes, was deeply influenced by the tragic loss of loved ones and his own experiences with the spiritualist phenomena. His foray into this realm is not mere curiosity; it is a profound search for solace and understanding, driven by the personal grief that often colors the narrative. Doyle's unique position as a literary figure lends credibility and allure to his examination of spiritualism, as he weaves his own insights into the broader historical tapestry. This work is indispensable for those drawn to the intersections of literature, philosophy, and the esoteric. Readers who seek to understand the cultural significance of the spiritualist movement and its impact on the Victorian psyche will find Doyle's meticulous research and compassionate prose illuminating. "The History of Spiritualism, Vol. I" promises a thought-provoking journey into a compelling chapter of humanity's quest for meaning.

Nazis after Hitler - How...

Donald M McKale

The stories of thirty war criminals who escaped accountability, from a historian praised for his “well written, scrupulously researched” work (The New York Times).   This deeply researched book traces the biographies of thirty “typical” perpetrators of the Holocaust—some well-known, some obscure—who survived World War II. Donald M. McKale reveals the shocking reality that the perpetrators were rarely, if ever, tried or punished for their crimes, and nearly all alleged their innocence in Germany’s extermination of nearly six million European Jews. He highlights the bitter contrasts between the comfortable postwar lives of many war criminals and the enduring suffering of their victims, and how, in the face of exhaustive evidence showing their culpability, nearly all claimed ignorance of what was going on—and insisted they had done nothing wrong.   “McKale ends the book with a haunting question: whether life would be different today if the Allies had pursued Holocaust criminals more aggressively after WWII. History buffs and students of the Holocaust will be fascinated.” ―Publishers Weekly   “Gripping and important reading.” —Eric A. Johnson, author of What We Knew

Loch Ness Monster The: The...

Editors Charles River

Although cryptozoology is often scoffed at and widely considered a pseudoscience, one of the reasons it made men like Barnum rich and continues to fascinate people today is the fact that people realize they’ve only scratched the surface when it comes to identifying all the different forms of life on Earth. As Martin DelRio pointed out in The Loch Ness Monster, “Animals previously unknown to science have been found more than once in the past hundred years. For instance, there's the megamouth shark (megachasma pelagios), a fifteen-foot-long creature weighing nearly a ton. The first specimen was discovered on November 15, 1976, when it was found entangled in the drag anchor of a U.S. Navy ship. The new creature wasn't described scientifically until 1983…The megamouth remains the only species in its genus, and the only genus in its order.”  
	While cryptids like Bigfoot and the Yeti have become popular in recent decades, none of them can touch the notoriety of the Loch Ness Monster, a large, unknown creature allegedly living in a loch in the Highlands of Scotland. Was it a relic dinosaur or perhaps an entirely new species? New photographs and new eyewitness sightings fueled a growing debate and transformed the Loch Ness Monster, also known as Nessie, into an instantly recognizable staple of pop culture, to the extent that hundreds of thousands of visitors came to Loch Ness every year in hopes of catching a glimpse of the loch’s famous inhabitant.  
	The Loch Ness Monster remains an international brand and the best-known cryptid in the world, but after almost 100 years of fame and media attention, what do people really know about this cryptid, and is there any proof that there really is something large and unknown living in a remote Scottish loch?
