    Shakey's Madness

    Want to discover why William Shakespeare did NOT write the poems, plays and sonnets attributed to him? Using the internet during the COVID-19 pandemic to doublecheck what past experts have told us about William Shakespeare, author Robert Boog uses a fresh set of eyes to view the facts.  Because of all the fainting found in the poems and plays, Mr. Boog believes that the "real" author of the works probably suffered from epilepsy at a young age. Boog counted nine instances of fainting, but a British physician in 2006 counted 18 episodes of fainting with another 13 instances of "near" fainting. Why so much fainting? Did fainting morph into bipolar disorder when he was older? Boog claims BD symptoms can be found in the works while the man from Stratford never did. For this reason, a person close to Queen Elizabeth who showed symptoms of bipolar disorder and was called "the best playwright for comedy in Queen Elizabeth's court" makes the best choice for author.  Also, back in Elizabethan days, the Queen or King could behead anyone who "imagined the death of a ruler" so why would ANYONE in their right mind, write a play about the death of a ruler? Yet Hamlet, Anthony & Cleopatra and Richard II, all feature rulers who die. So writing under a pen name makes sense - esp in these days of fake Twitter handles and online cat-fishing.Mr. Boog suggests we approach the mystery of William Shakespeare's authorship like a modern-day "cold case" mystery. So, get ready to have fun listening and learning about a compelling case for the true authorship of the Shakespeare canon? A fun and informative audio book that includes humorous stories. It is read by the author from Los Angeles who has a wicked sense of humor."

    Coming from a working-class background, Paul Besley knew the worst and best of life in a Yorkshire steel town. He had always been drawn to the solitude of the hills, but that life nearly ended when a fall while hillwalking left him critically injured and alone in the mountains of the Lake District. Paul was found and brought to safety by a mountain rescue team. This was the trigger for him to transform his life, first by joining his local team, then by finding Scout, his very own Border collie puppy, and training him to become a mountain rescue search dog.
In The Search, Paul writes with humour and honesty as we follow him and Scout through their complex training, with searches and rescue incidents sometimes tragic and often funny. Paul's demons and headstrong characters threaten to derail them, until his past finally catches up with him and his life inescapably unravels. It's up to Scout to keep an eye on him now as Paul tries to build the best life he can.

    The American Scholar

    Ralph Waldo Emerson

    In 1837, Ralph Waldo Emerson took the stage at Harvard and delivered what would become one of the most influential speeches in American intellectual history. The American Scholar was not just a lecture—it was a manifesto, a call to arms for a young nation searching for its own cultural identity. Emerson challenged his audience to break free from European intellectual traditions, urging them to think for themselves, to create, and to embrace the vast potential of the American mind.
This work is more than philosophy; it is an invitation to independence—not just political, but intellectual and spiritual. Emerson paints the scholar not as a passive keeper of knowledge, but as an active force, shaped by nature, books, and action. He argues that true learning is not about memorizing the past, but about engaging with the present and forging the future. His words ignited generations of thinkers, from Henry David Thoreau to Walt Whitman, and continue to inspire anyone who dares to challenge convention.
The American Scholar is a timeless reminder that education is not about repetition, but about revolution. It is a celebration of the individual mind, the courage to question, and the boundless potential of human thought.
