Stranger Than Science Stories...

Martin K. Ettington

This book is my second on stranger than science stories and facts. The idea is from the book “Stranger Than Science” by Frank Edwards that I read when I was a kid. It made a great impression on me since it caused me to be curious about all of the unknown facts in the world. 
In this Volume Two I’ve gone through my 120 plus books again to find interesting subjects I’ve either experienced or researched which were not discussed in the first book. 
My goal is to open the eyes of the reader to facts and stories about the unknown they may not know about. Hopefully this will lead you to become more open minded and think seriously about new things which may not have been part of your life before. 
Here you will read stories about the Paranormal, Spiritual Enlightenment, Legendary animals like Dragons, giant snakes, living dinosaurs, ball lightning, alien anti-gravity technology, improving longevity, and much more. 
I promise you will not be bored with the materials we cover here. 
After reading this book I hope you can see that our world is truly mysterious and the more we know, the more questions we have, and the more there is to know.

Psychiatry - Mental Health and...

Ava Westwood

Psychiatry is a branch of medicine dedicated to the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. It plays a crucial role in modern healthcare by addressing conditions that affect cognition, mood, and perception, impacting overall well-being and functionality. Mental health disorders range from common conditions such as anxiety and depression to severe illnesses like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Psychiatrists, as medical professionals specializing in this field, assess and manage these conditions through a combination of psychotherapy, medication, and emerging therapeutic approaches.
The historical development of psychiatry has evolved significantly over centuries. Ancient civilizations, including the Greeks and Romans, attributed mental illness to supernatural forces, while Hippocrates introduced the concept of imbalance in bodily humors as a possible cause. During the Middle Ages, mental illness was often misunderstood and associated with demonic possession, leading to inhumane treatments. The emergence of asylums in the 18th and 19th centuries marked a shift toward institutionalized care, though conditions in these facilities were often poor. The 20th century brought advancements in psychopharmacology, neuroscience, and psychological theories, leading to a more scientific and humane approach to mental health care. Today, psychiatry integrates biological, psychological, and social factors to provide comprehensive treatment.
Psychiatry differs from other medical disciplines in its focus on both the mind and the brain. Unlike neurology, which primarily deals with structural disorders of the nervous system, psychiatry examines functional disturbances affecting thought, emotion, and behavior. While psychology also explores mental health, psychiatrists, as medical doctors, are uniquely qualified to prescribe medications and provide medical treatments alongside therapy.

The Real Moby Dick - The True...

John Harpoon

For more than a century, Moby-Dick has captivated readers with its epic tale of obsession, revenge, and the relentless pursuit of an almost mythical white whale. Herman Melville’s novel, often considered one of the greatest works of American literature, is filled with symbolism and philosophical depth. Yet, behind this work of fiction lies a true story—one of survival, maritime danger, and an extraordinary encounter with a real-life white whale that terrorized whalers in the early 19th century. The legend of Moby Dick is more than just fiction; it is rooted in historical events, shaped by firsthand accounts, and woven into the fabric of seafaring lore.
The inspiration for Melville’s famous novel came from two key sources: the Essex tragedy and the real-life white whale known as Mocha Dick. The Essex, a whaling ship from Nantucket, was attacked and sunk by a massive sperm whale in 1820, leaving its crew stranded in the open ocean. Their harrowing tale of survival, including desperate decisions that pushed them to the limits of human endurance, became one of the most infamous maritime disasters of the era. Meanwhile, whalers of the Pacific frequently told stories of an unusually large and aggressive albino whale that had survived multiple harpoon attacks. This whale, named Mocha Dick after the Chilean island where he was often seen, was known to fight back with remarkable intelligence and force. These real events formed the foundation for Melville’s fictional masterpiece, blending reality with myth in a way that continues to spark curiosity and debate.
