Mental Radio (Annotated) - Enriched Edition Does it Work and How?

Upton Sinclair, Albert Einstein

Casa editrice: e-artnow

Sinossi

Situated at the crossroads of modern science, speculative inquiry, and literary testimony, Mental Radio examines telepathy through a sequence of controlled domestic experiments, reflective commentary, and documentary-style presentation. The volume ranges from observational record to philosophical speculation, making it a distinctive work in the history of psychical research. Its significance lies not merely in its claims, but in its careful staging of evidence, doubt, and interpretation within a culture fascinated by invisible communication. Upton Sinclair, best known for his social realism and reformist prose, brings to the subject a journalist's appetite for verification and a novelist's sensitivity to human experience. Albert Einstein's contribution lends the book a notable intellectual frame, situating its questions within broader debates about perception, causality, and the limits of contemporary knowledge. Together, their voices reflect an early twentieth-century moment when scientific modernity and occult possibility were not always sharply separated. Readers interested in literary modernism, the history of science, psychology, or paranormal inquiry will find Mental Radio a provocative and unusual volume. It offers a rare opportunity to consider experimental narrative, intellectual skepticism, and metaphysical curiosity in dialogue, inviting reflection on how evidence is shaped, narrated, and believed.

Göbekli Tepe: The History and...

Editors Charles River

The Neolithic period came before the Bronze Age and is generally regarded as the final subdivision of the Stone Age. During this time, communities domesticated plants and certain animals but still relied on hunting and gathering to a considerable extent, and beginning sometime around 7000 BCE, handmade pottery was developed, along with more advanced stone axes that enabled people to clear vast forests. Thanks to tools like that, the sizes of these Neolithic communities ranged from thousands to as few as a hundred, and they spread across the world with a variety of cultures and languages. One aspect these cultures had in common was that they relied on similar tools made of stone, wood, and bone. 
Despite the fact some Neolithic communities grew to considerable sizes, they’re typically not considered when people think of the first ancient civilizations or the first major cities, so when German archaeologists discovered the archaeological site of Göbekli Tepe in southeastern Turkey in the 1990s, it created an academic firestorm that is still raging. Far from being just another settlement, Göbekli Tepe has been described as the world’s first temple and perhaps one of the locations where human civilization began. Subsequent archaeological work at Göbekli Tepe has revealed that the site was a spiritual center for the local population during a time when humans were undergoing a transition as hunter-gatherers in the Paleolithic Period to a more sedentary lifestyle in the Neolithic Period, more than 10,000 years ago. Further research in the disciplines of anthropology, religion, and history indicate that the activity at Göbekli Tepe subsequently set the tone for elements of Neolithic and Bronze Age religion and ideology in the Near East, especially in Anatolia (roughly equivalent with modern Turkey).
