Summary

Bullet Dodging explores the surprising intersection of physics and psychology behind our ability to evade fast-moving threats. It examines how our brains and bodies work together to achieve feats of reaction, looking at both real-world scenarios and the exaggerated dodges seen in fiction. Did you know that understanding projectile motion—velocity, trajectory, and acceleration—is crucial for predicting where a threat will be? Or that cognitive biases can significantly impact your reaction time? This book uniquely bridges the gap between intuitive movement and the scientific realities governing it.

 
The book begins by laying out the fundamental physics of projectiles, including air resistance and gravity. It then delves into the psychological factors at play in threat detection, decision-making, and motor control, discussing how visual processing and cognitive biases affect our reflexes.

 
Finally, Bullet Dodging integrates these perspectives to analyze real-world cases, offering potential training methods while acknowledging the limitations of human physiology.

The Faith of Our Fathers

James Gibbons

The Faith of Our Fathers: A Plain Exposition and Vindication of the Church Founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ is a book published in 1876 by archbishop James Gibbons, which became a best-selling conversion manual in the United States, and by 1980 was in its 111th printing. (From the preface) “The object of this little volume is to present in a plain and practical form an exposition and vindication of the principal tenets of the Catholic Church. It was thought sufficient to devote but a brief space to such Catholic doctrines and practices as are happily admitted by Protestants, while those that are controverted by them are more elaborately elucidated......As his chief aim has been to bring home the truths of the Catholic faith to our separated brethren, who generally accept the Scripture as the only source of authority in religious matters, he has endeavored to fortify his statements by abundant reference to the sacred text. He has thought proper, however, to add frequent quotations from the early Fathers, whose testimony, at least as witnesses of the faith of their times, must be accepted even by those who call in question their personal authority.” (Summary from Wikipedia with quotes from the preface of this volume.)
