Summary

The History of the Discovery and Conquest of Guinea in two volumes is a historical source which is considered the main authority for the early Portuguese voyages of discovery down the African coast and in the ocean, more especially for those undertaken under the auspices of Prince Henry the Navigator. The work is written by Portuguese chronicler Zurara and is serves as the principal historical source for modern conception of Prince Henry the Navigator and the Henrican age of Portuguese discoveries (although Zurara only covers part of it, the period 1434-1448). Zurara's chronicle is openly hagiographic of the prince and reliant on his recollections. It contains some account of the life work of that prince, and has a biographical as a geographical interest.

    This book bundle has two books in it. The topics are as follows: 
- The Self-Serving Bias: At its core, the self-serving bias serves to protect and enhance self-esteem. By crediting successes to internal factors, individuals reinforce their belief in their own competence and abilities. This, in turn, boosts confidence and motivates continued effort. On the flip side, by attributing failures to external, uncontrollable factors such as bad luck, difficult circumstances, or the actions of others, individuals avoid the negative emotional consequences of failure. This creates a shield that protects one’s self-image, allowing a person to maintain a positive outlook even when things go wrong. 
- The Slippery Slope Fallacy: Fallacies are errors in reasoning that undermine the logical validity of an argument. They often appear persuasive on the surface, yet, when examined closely, they reveal flaws that can mislead individuals or entire groups. In an increasingly complex world, recognizing these logical fallacies is crucial for navigating discussions, making informed decisions, and engaging in rational debate. The ability to identify fallacious reasoning helps individuals critically evaluate arguments and avoid being swayed by flawed logic. Among the various types of fallacies, the Slippery Slope fallacy is one of the most prevalent. It involves the assumption that a particular action will inevitably lead to extreme and undesirable consequences, often without sufficient evidence to support such a claim. This form of argument relies heavily on fear and exaggeration, suggesting that even a small step in a certain direction will set off a chain of events leading to catastrophic results. The Slippery Slope fallacy is commonly used in political, legal, and social debates, where the consequences of a decision or policy are often portrayed as extreme and far-reaching.

    The Theory of Evolution is a Joke

    Danny Erhardt, a mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, has sought the truth, and fortuitously found it. You can too. If you seek it with all your heart. If you love the truth more than the opinions and conclusions that are already in your head. The lies of Satan ("the great deceiver who goes forth to deceive the whole world") cover this earth like a blanket, and people believe whatever they are taught. (Evolution is one of them...) What lies have you been taught? have you learned to hold dear? ...Danny is father to a half dozen boys and girls, and grandfather to a little more than half a dozen.  
If you have any unintelligent criticisms or thoughtless attacks on the truth, to share, please send them to our Complaint Dept. Administrator, Mrs. Helen Waite. Go to her if you feel the need to vent any or all of the evolutionary indoctrinated lies that we were all fed, and that unfortunately too many still believe. Also, if anyone is offended by any, or all, of the accurate scientific truths and realities imparted here, then please bang your face against your bathroom mirror for about half an hour, and then hide under your mommy's bed for a couple of weeks. This should help.  
Well, thank you so much for picking up a copy of this book, or considering doing the same. It's called the truth. And may God (you know, the actual Creator of all of this) richly bless you and yours.
