Sinopse

Ingersoll Lockwood's "The Greatest Works of Ingersoll Lockwood" is an illustrative compilation that encapsulates the author's visionary tales, marked by whimsical imagination and a satirical tone. Lockwood's narratives often blur the lines between fantasy and reality, exploring themes of power, identity, and the human condition. Through characters like Baron Trump and his fantastical adventures, Lockwood's unique literary style reflects the socio-political landscape of the Gilded Age, employing humor and absurdity to critique contemporary society, while simultaneously foreshadowing future developments in American culture. Ingersoll Lockwood, an American lawyer and writer born in 1841, was both an astute observer of society and a creative thinker. His experiences during a transformative period of American history, including witnessing the rise of technological advancements and shifting social dynamics, informed his fantastical storytelling. Lockwood's background, steeped in a keen understanding of human nature and the absurdities of life, results in narratives that resonate with both profundity and charm, making his work remarkably relevant even today. Readers are encouraged to delve into this collection, as it not only showcases Lockwood's literary genius but also invites critical reflections on the nature of societal change and individual ambition. With its blend of humor and insight, "The Greatest Works of Ingersoll Lockwood" offers a timeless exploration of the human spirit, making it essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of fiction and reality.

    Joe Biden and Kamala Harris began their transition to the White House in the most unusual of circumstances: a global pandemic, a sitting president violently refusing to accept the results of the election, and a historic racial reckoning all posed profound questions about how they would staff large parts of the government and articulate policy remedies to pressing problems in just eleven weeks. 
     
     
     
    Heath Brown's Roadblocked is a revelatory look at the seventy days between the election and the inauguration with a focus on the ways the Biden-Harris transition team sought help and advice to overcome these obstacles. More than that, Roadblocked is also a gripping history of US presidential transitions over the past half-century that compares the transition teams of the last four administrations. 
     
     
     
    Biden-Harris transition leaders had a massive team with a stated aim to promote coordination, encourage teamwork, and avoid siloing staff. In the end, however, these aims were foiled by the conditions of the pandemic and steep hierarchies, which both reduced collaboration and information sharing. In the end, despite substantial changes in the Democratic coalition, newly influential groups armed with novel tactics, and great shifts in their political agenda, the Biden-Harris transition did not lead to transformation. Roadblocked explains why.

  • Egyptian Wisdom and the Hebrew Genesis - Ancient Egypt the Light of the World Book 7 - cover

    Egyptian Wisdom and the Hebrew...

    [I]t was not the genesis of the universe that is imaged in astronomical mythology. The firmament was there; already waiting to be distinguished as upper and lower, and divided into the domains of night and day, or Sut and Horus, or Ansar and Kisar. The constellations were not created from nothing when they were figured out of stars. The firmamental water was not created by being divided into upper and lower. The earth was not created because distinguished from water as ground to go upon…. Heaven and earth existed when these were nameless, and did not come into existence on account of being named. –from “Egyptian Wisdom and the Hebrew Genesis” It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World–first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar–redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 7 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey explains how Egyptian wisdom–which greatly concerns itself with matters of the womb and birth, water, and the offspring of gods–was appropriated by the Hebrew holy books, and explains how the Hebrew account of creation is a clear repetition of Egyptian mythology. Peculiar and profound, this work will intrigue and delight readers of history, religion, and mythology. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828-1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.

  • The Appeal to Emotion Fallacy - Manipulating Emotions Rather Than Presenting Valid Arguments - cover

    The Appeal to Emotion Fallacy -...

    Logical fallacies are errors in reasoning that undermine the validity of an argument. They are often used unintentionally, but in many cases, they are deliberately employed to manipulate or persuade others. A logical fallacy may seem convincing on the surface, yet it lacks a sound basis when scrutinized more closely. Understanding logical fallacies is crucial because they can mislead audiences, derail thoughtful discussion, and obstruct the pursuit of truth. 
    The study of logical fallacies dates back to ancient Greece, where philosophers like Aristotle laid the foundations for reasoning and argumentation. Throughout history, these fallacies have evolved and manifested in various forms, adapting to the cultural and rhetorical needs of each era. While some fallacies are easy to identify, others are more subtle and sophisticated, making them harder to detect. 
    A logical fallacy is not necessarily about the truth or falsity of the conclusion; it pertains to the quality of the reasoning that leads to that conclusion. In other words, even if the conclusion of an argument is correct, the reasoning behind it may still be flawed. For example, an argument that relies on emotional appeals or personal attacks rather than facts and evidence is committing a fallacy, even if the conclusion is true.

    In an era of unprecedented access to knowledge, why does ignorance thrive? Why do conspiracy theories, science denial, and anti-expert sentiment dominate public discourse? And how did we reach a point where misinformation spreads faster than facts, and critical thinking is treated as an elitist threat? 
    From the war on expertise and the rise of conspiracy thinking to the manipulation of public opinion through propaganda and technology, this book reveals the deep-rooted causes of our current crisis. More importantly, it offers a roadmap to reclaim reason, evidence-based discourse, and the intellectual curiosity necessary for a thriving society. 
    The Cult of Ignorance is a thought-provoking exploration of the forces fueling modern anti-intellectualism. Drawing from history, psychology, media analysis, and political strategy, this book unpacks how ignorance is not merely a lack of knowledge but a weaponized ideology—one that serves powerful interests, weakens democracy, and threatens societal progress.
