  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  This book traces the fascinating life of Roger Bacon, a Franciscan friar of the thirteenth century who dared to question the way knowledge was understood in his time. Between cloisters, university classrooms, and conflicts with authority, Roger Bacon defended the importance of experience, mathematics, and rigorous observation as paths toward truth, without ever renouncing his faith. Through his biography, the reader discovers his major scientific contributions, his intuitions about the experimental method, as well as his errors, his tensions with the Church, and the legends that transformed him into a 'magician' and a precursor of modern science.

  Defending My Enemy - Skokie and...

  A new edition of the most important free speech book of the past half-century, with a new chapter by the author on some of the top First Amendment controversies of today 
  When Nazis wanted to express their right to free speech in 1977 by marching through Skokie, Illinois—a town with a large population of Holocaust survivors—Aryeh Neier, then the national executive director of the ACLU and himself a Holocaust survivor, came to the Nazis' defense. Explaining what many saw as a despicable bridge too far for the First Amendment, Neier spelled out his thoughts about free speech in his 1979 book Defending My Enemy. 
   
  Nearly fifty years later, Neier revisits the topic of free speech in a volume that includes his original essay along with a new chapter addressing present-day First Amendment battles, including the Charlottesville march, book bans, the heckler's veto, attacks on free speech on college campuses, and the threat to overturn the US Supreme Court decision in The New York Times v. Sullivan. Including a foreword by Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton and an afterword by longtime free speech champion Nadine Strossen, Defending My Enemy offers razor-sharp analysis from the man Jameel Jaffer of the Knight First Amendment Institute describes as "an icon of justice and fearlessness."

  American Gulags show us how to overcome the Marxist indoctrination which has swept across the American government education system. 
   
    
   
  America's system of colleges and universities was once the best in the world. It contributed immeasurably to America's status as the most powerful, productive, and prosperous nation on the globe. Unfortunately, those days are long gone. Today from kindergarten through twelfth grade in the government school system, teaching reading, writing, and math have been supplanted by Marxist indoctrination. Our colleges and universities have become the final training grounds and launching pads for the next waves of Marxist activists. This book equips every American to turn this travesty around.

  Is Scottish politics mired in a constitutional dogfight with no end in sight?
  Why has Scottish Labour failed to develop a radical and credible alternative to independence?
  Is it possible for a campaigning politician to make a difference?
  Can people power lead to positive change?
  Over the last few years, political campaigner and former Labour msp Neil Findlay kept a log of his time in the Scottish Parliament, a time which he describes as one of perpetual crisis and scandal.
  
  This book is my account of being an elected politician. My comments convey my feelings and emotions as events unfolded. If they cause upset to some, then so be it. I can only report the truth.
  There is little doubt the tectonic plates of Scottish politics are shifting. Is this a time of hope or of despair? Time will tell. As a socialist, I am an optimist and live in hope and have a belief that tomorrow will always be better than today.

  Religion Unburdened by Belief -...

  Religion Unburdened by Belief poses the question: what would religion without belief actually look like? If you stripped away the creeds, the doctrines, the articles of faith—what’s left? Is there anything left? 
  The book takes up this question with the Way of Open Inquiry, a thought experiment. It’s an attempt to design religion from a blank slate. At stake is how you live, what you're willing to give up, and who you'll be on the other side. What would religion look like if you built it from the essentials? 
  Where do you even start? What do humanity’s oldest religious practices—trance, ritual, spirit-work—still have to teach us? Is there a role for altered states—meditation, say—and if so, what is it? Should psychedelics play a role, and how? How do you design something that’s both safe enough to practice and transformative enough to matter? How do you build community around lived experience rather than shared doctrine? What would it mean to design a religion that resists its own codification? 
  Consider this an invitation. Faith optional. Courage required.

  The Light of Egypt Volume II

  The Light of Egypt will be found to be an Occult library in itself, a textbook of esoteric knowledge, setting forth the "wisdom Religion" of life, as taught by the Adepts of Hermetic Philosophy. It will richly repay all who are seeking the higher life to carefully study this book, as it contains in a nutshell the wisdom of the ages regarding man and his destiny, here and hereafter. The London and American first edition, also the French edition, Vol. I, met with lively criticism from Blavatsky Theosophists, because it annihilates that agreeable delusion of "Karma" and "Reincarnation" from the minds of all lovers of truth for truth's sake."The Tablets of Aeth" is a great and mighty work, as it contains the very quintessence of Occult and Hermetic philosophy, as revealed by spiritual law. "Penetralia" is a new revelation, and invaluable to Occult students, as it is the personal experience of a developed soul. (Summary taken from the Publishers Preface)
