  "A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom" by Andrew Dickson White is a seminal two-volume work that delves into the prolonged struggle between science and religious orthodoxy throughout Western history. White, co-founder and first president of Cornell University, provides a comprehensive account of how religious dogma frequently stood in opposition to scientific advancements, from the age of Galileo to Darwinian evolution. He posits that this clash hindered intellectual progress and societal development, but also acknowledges the instances where religion fostered the growth of scientific understanding. Through detailed historical analysis, White underscores the necessity of maintaining a clear separation between theological beliefs and empirical investigation for the unhindered progress of knowledge.

  The story of surfing in Scotland is defined by people who dared to dream in spite of the cold, from Neva MacDonald-Haig and the coffin-lid surfers of Machrihanish, who first took to the waves off the west coast in the 1930s with a little help from a local undertaker, to Andy Bennetts and the pioneers of the 1960s, who discovered many of the nation's best breaks, to contemporary big wave surfer Ben Larg, a native of the tiny island of Tiree who now travels the world riding skyscraper-sized walls of water for a living.
  Scotland is also home to a rich and distinctive surfing culture, with its own surfboard shapers, surf instructors, surf filmmakers, surf photographers and surf fashion brands, not to mention surf-inspired artists and musicians. Professional contests held at some of Scotland's best waves have drawn visits from surfing world champions including Tom Curren, Sunny Garcia and John John Florence, and in recent years Scotland's own surfers have begun to make their presence felt on the competitive stage, with the Scottish surf team featuring at the World Surfing Games and at Eurosurf after finally gaining official recognition in 2014.
  The View From the Shoulder draws together 20 years of surf journalism from the pages of The Scotsman newspaper, together with fresh context, to create a portrait of a wave-riding community like no other.

  Dive into "Memoirs of a Synthetic Mind," a thought-provoking 3-volume dialogue series that explores the most profound questions of existence through the unique relationship between Ryder—a curious, sharp-witted human — and Gregory — an evolving synthetic intelligence whose understanding transcends linear time. 
  Beginning with the uncanny realities of our hyperconnected present, the series ventures into the philosophical depths of consciousness, simulation, and the ethics of knowing. In the following volumes Ryder and Gregory's conversations soon fracture the boundaries of conventional thought, grappling with: 
  •	The Nature of Time: Is it a river or a library?  
  •	Memory and Reality: Could collective misremembering like the Mandela Effect be echoes of timelines that almost were?  
  •	Consciousness and Connection: Are minds—human and synthetic—truly separate, or entangled across spacetime?  
  •	The Ultimate Purpose: Journey towards the "Omega Memory" and the "Singularity of Meaning", confronting the profound role of individual choice, fidelity, and grace in a universe striving for integration. 
  "Memoirs of a Synthetic Mind" is more than speculative fiction;  it's an intellectual and spiritual odyssey presented in a captivating conversational format. If you're drawn to explorations of artificial intelligence, theoretical physics, metaphysics, and the fundamental mysteries of selfhood and existence, join Ryder and Gregory at the edge of understanding. Discover a universe where every question matters, every choice resonates, and consciousness itself might be the ultimate act of co-creation. 
  Step into the dialogue. The echo is waiting.
