  Learn to search for the truth that’s out there in essays about what “may be the most philosophically challenging series in the history of television” (Paul A. Cantor, author of Gilligan Unbound: Pop Culture in the Age of Globalization).   In The Philosophy of The X-Files, Dean A. Kowalski has gathered a remarkable cast of contributors to shed light on the philosophical mysteries of the television show The X-Files. With sections devoted to the show’s credos—“The truth is out there,” “Trust no one,” and “I want to believe” —as well as individual characters and specific episodes, The Philosophy of The X-Files illuminates the philosophical assumptions and presuppositions of the show and provides a lively, accessible way to better understand philosophy and philosophical inquiry—while exploring topics ranging from alienation to determinism to democracy.

Through candid first-hand interviews, Garin Pirnia captures new, unheard stories from national legends like the Black Keys and slow-burn local bands like Wussy from Cincinnati. Discover why Greenhornes’ members Patrick Keeler and Brian Olive almost killed each other on stage one night, what happened to the pink guitar Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails gave to band member Richard Patrick, why Devo loved the dissonance when they were booed by 400,000 music lovers in England, and so much more! Entertaining, inspiring, and revolutionary, Rebels and Underdogs is the untold story of the bands, the state, and rock itself.“Pirnia gives it a fine archaeologist’s try to plop meat all over the bones of one of rock ‘n’ roll’s unsung if inarguably most important locales.” —Eric Davidson, singer in New Bomb Turks and author of We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut“[An] exceptional book, an account satisfyingly comprehensive, but driven by the instincts and ardor of a true devotee.” —David Giffels, author of Barnstorming Ohio

  Creative Mind

  This little book is an attempt to explain what each soul must discover for himself, that he stands in the midst of an eternal creative power which presses itself around his own thought, and casts back to him glorified all that he thinks. If it awakens within the consciousness of one single individual the realization that the mind of the Universal (which is the only mind that there is) is his own mind that the creative power of this mind is his also; that the manifestation of this mind is his own individuality; that the love and power and peace of this mind is within himself, it will not be written in vain. May it then do much in simplifying and bringing to light some of the deeper mysteries and meanings of life. (Ernest Shurtleff Holmes)
