  The Progress Illusion -...

  In The Progress Illusion, Jon D. Erickson charts the rise of the economic worldview and its infiltration into our daily lives as a theory of everything. Drawing on his own experience as a young economist inoculated in the 1980s era of "greed is good," Erickson shows how pseudoscience came to dominate economic thought. He pokes holes in the conventional wisdom of neo-classical economics, illustrating how flawed theories about financial decision-making and maximizing efficiency ignore human psychology and morality. Most importantly, he demonstrates how that thinking shaped our politics and determined the course of American public policy. The result has been a system that perpetually concentrates wealth in the hands of a few, while depleting the natural resources on which economies are based. 
   
   
   
  While the history of economics is dismal indeed, Erickson is part of a vigorous reform effort grounded in the realities of life on a finite planet. This new brand of economics is both gaining steam in academia and supporting social activism. The goal is people over profit, community over consumption, and resilience over recklessness. Erickson shows crafting a new economic story is the first step toward turning away from endless growth and towards enduring prosperity.

  REAL Electric Field Lines? -...

  Peter Pedersen

  This book presents the hypothesis that, in the microscopic domain, "real" lines form between pairs of charges.
  
  These lines exclude forces from other charges and possess their own mechanical properties.
  
  Although highly unusual and speculative, if accepted, this hypothesis yields dramatic and testable consequences:
  
  It directly suggests the theoretical possibility of cold fusion—specifically, the fusion of deuterium nuclei at room temperature. This could unlock a potential energy source that is green, cheap, and virtually unlimited (using heavy seawater as fuel).
  
  The electron energies of arbitrary elements can be calculated in a remarkably simple way, using only a pocket calculator. By contrast, traditional quantum mechanics relies on supercomputers and, even then, yields only approximate results.
  
  A chemical bond can be viewed as a line in the sense defined in this book, meaning only thermal oscillations along the bond are permitted. As a result, calculating specific heat becomes essentially a matter of counting the bonds in a molecule. Consequently, as shown in the book, the specific heat of almost any chemical compound (at room temperature) can be determined quite simply.
