  Of Gods and Men

  Francis Story

  We are all familiar with the fact that man in former days 
  readily believed in the existence of an unseen world, a world 
  of ghosts, demons, nature-spirits which were worshipped as gods, 
  and a host of other supernatural beings. This world lay all about him 
  and in some respects was more real to him than the physical world. 
  It was his belief in it, and in the power of the forces it contained, that 
  gave birth first to primitive magic and later to religion. 
   
  Even today, vast numbers of people all over the world, and not 
  merely among savage tribes or backward peasantry, but in 
  advanced and educated communities, particularly in Asia, still 
  believe in this mysterious realm and in various classes of beings 
  that inhabit it, to an extent that would surprise most Westerners 
  apart from those who have made a study of the subject. To the 
  Asian mind it is equally surprising that Westerners, with the 
  exception of spiritualists, are sceptical regarding it.

  Speaking in Tongues

  Language, historically speaking, has always been slippery. Two dictionaries provide two different maps of the universe: which one is true, or are both false? Speaking in Tongues—taking the form of a dialogue between Nobel laureate novelist J. M. Coetzee and eminent translator Mariana Dimópulos—examines some of the most pressing linguistic issues that plague writers and translators well into the twenty-first century. 
   
   
   
  The authors inquire if one can truly love an acquired language, and they question why certain languages, like Spanish, have gender differences built into them. They examine the threat of monolingualism and ask how we can counter, if at all, the global spread of the English language, which seems to maraud like a colonial power. They question whether it should be the duty of the translator to remove morally objectionable language. And in the conclusion, Coetzee even speculates whether it's only mathematics that can tell the truth about everything. 
   
   
   
  Drawing from decades of experience in the craft of language, both Dimópulos and Coetzee face the reality that when it comes to self-expression, some things will always get lost in translation. Speaking in Tongues finally emerges as an engaging and accessible work of philosophy, shining a light on some of the most important linguistic and philological issues of our time.

  Philadelphia Experiment The: The...

  The borderlands of the paranormal include some bizarre stories. However, none are more strange or unsettling than the tale of what became known as the Philadelphia Experiment, an alleged effort during World War II to make a US Navy ship invisible by using electrical power. 
  The purported experiment gained international fame with the publication of a book by Charles Berlitz in 1978 and has now entered the lexicon of popular imagination. More than one movie has featured this experiment, but even as more people have heard about the Philadelphia Experiment, there are a number of different accounts of just what is said to have happened. The most dramatic accounts involve the brief teleportation of a US Navy warship and its crew into another dimension, with subsequent and horrifying effects for the men on board when it returned. Other versions are a little more mundane, but all seem to agree that something very odd happened to a US Navy ship in 1943. 
  This is a complex story, first emerging in the late 1950s before coming to international attention in the 1970s and developing in the 1980s and after. It involves some of the foremost scientists of the 20th century, and while it is a truly fascinating tale, it is one that has caused (and continues to generate) a great deal of debate. Is the Philadelphia Experiment a hoax, a myth, or somehow partly true, and how did this story first emerge? Readers may be more than a little surprised at the outcome.
