Sinopsis

In "Voltaire's Philosophical Dictionary," the esteemed Enlightenment thinker critiques and examines a range of philosophical topics, from religion and morality to science and government. Employing a distinct literary style characterized by wit, irony, and eloquent prose, Voltaire's work serves as both a compendium of Enlightenment thought and a caustic commentary on societal norms. Each entry is infused with his trademark skepticism, encouraging readers to question established doctrines and consider alternative perspectives, ensuring that the text resonates within the broader context of 18th-century intellectual discourse. Voltaire, born François-Marie Arouet, was a prolific writer, historian, and philosopher whose life experiences—marked by censorship, exile, and advocacy for civil liberties—shaped his critical perspective. His encounters with religious dogma and abuses of power fueled his desire to promote reason and tolerance. "Philosophical Dictionary" reflects his commitment to intellectual freedom and the examination of life's profound questions, reinforcing the values of the Age of Enlightenment and underscoring the importance of critical inquiry. This book is an essential read for anyone seeking to engage deeply with the philosophical questions that define humanity. Voltaire's sharp insights and articulate arguments invite readers to reflect on their own beliefs and the world around them, making it a timeless resource for philosophy enthusiasts and students alike.

  • The Seventh Sense - The Secrets of Remote Viewing as Told by a "Psychic Spy" for the US Military - cover

    The Seventh Sense - The Secrets...

    For the past thirty years, the United States government has secretly trained a select corps of military personnel in the art of "remote viewing"—the psychic ability to perceive the thoughts and experiences of others through the power of the human mind . . . 
     
     
     
    Now, for the first time, Lyn Buchanan—a world-renowned expert on remote viewing and its potential—tells the complete, candid story of his experiences. Assigned for nearly a decade to a clandestine US Army intelligence group, Buchanan trained military personnel who utilized their inherent psychic abilities as a data-collection tool during the Iran hostage crisis, the Chernobyl disaster, and the Gulf War. 
     
     
     
    In this incredible account, Buchanan tells how he was selected for his unique psychic abilities, and how he was transformed from an ordinary soldier into one of our nation's leading psychic spies. Working on top-secret government and military projects using "mental espionage" created permanent, life-altering changes within Buchanan. Now, after many years of analysis and interpretation, he reveals the techniques and mental exercises used to train remote viewers, and demonstrates that each of us carries a dormant psychic ability that we can explore and use ourselves.

    Journal your way to lasting emotional balance, self-compassion, and better relationships. 
     
     
     
    If you've been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD), you should know that BPD doesn't have to define you. Like many mental health issues, BPD manifests on a spectrum, and while some people may encounter extreme symptoms on one end, others may be less affected on the other. What do you all have in common? You likely experience difficulty balancing your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. You may struggle with relationships. And you may not see yourself clearly—continuously switching from the hero to the villain of the story you've written about your life. So, how can you take charge of your own story, and start on the road to healing? 
     
     
     
    This compassionate guided journal offers a personalized, constructive, and healing approach to managing your symptoms. Through the act of writing, you'll gain insight into the four elements of BPD—emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships—and find powerful tools to balance your emotions, reverse unhealthy habits that get in the way of meaningful relationships, and move past feelings of shame and regret to cultivate self-compassion. This book will help you gain empowering insight into yourself and your unique mind, so you'll feel equipped to step out into a world where you know you belong.

    Sasha LaPointe has always longed for a sense of home. When she was a child, her family moved around frequently, often staying in barely habitable church attics and trailers, dangerous places for young Sasha. 
     
     
      
    With little more to guide her than a passion for the thriving punk scene of the Pacific Northwest and a desire to live up to the responsibility of being the namesake of her beloved great-grandmother—a linguist who helped preserve her Indigenous language of Lushootseed—Sasha throws herself headlong into the world, determined to build a better future for herself and her people. 
     
     
      
    Set against a backdrop of the breathtaking beauty of Coast Salish ancestral land and imbued with the universal spirit of punk, Red Paint is ultimately a story of the ways we learn to find our true selves while fighting for our right to claim a place of our own. 
     
     
      
    Examining what it means to be vulnerable in love and in art, Sasha offers up an unblinking reckoning with personal traumas amplified by the collective historical traumas of colonialism and genocide that continue to haunt native peoples. Red Paint is an intersectional autobiography of lineage, resilience, and, above all, the ability to heal.
