Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASA

Richard C. Hoagland, Mike Bara

Feral House, 2007

There will always be naysayers
It never ceases to amaze me how throughout time, no matter what the subject, no matter what the evidence, there are those who have a mental block to anything other than what our government has told us. I chuckle sometimes, but then realize just how powerful we could ...

The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason

Sam Harris

W. W. Norton, 2005

Anti-theism without explicit atheism plus 9/11 causation revealed
Although he doesn't say so, Harris appears to be an atheist, most certainly in the sense that he does not believe in any traditional gods although towards the end of this book he seems to ascribe to the mysticism of consciousness in a manner consistent with eastern ...

The God Delusion

Richard Dawkins

Mariner Books, 2008

Have some other reviewers even read this book?
Some of these reviews make me wonder if the people reviewing them have actually read the book or if they are just typing in a negative review to defend their god and their religion. I just read this book and found it exhilarating! The author doesn't come across as ...

The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

Carl Sagan, Ann Druyan

Ballantine Books, 1997

Don't believe Fundamentalist Propaganda!
Reading Sagan's book made me realize the loss I'd suffered in not exploring it sooner. When I was a fundamental Christian (for far too long), Sagan was called "Carl SATAN" in our churches and we were gleefully told from the pulpit how he's writhing in Hell right now. ...

Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health (Vintage)

Gary Taubes

Anchor, 2008

"It's the insulin, stupid"
I first heard Gary Taubes interviewed on Canadian CBC radio in the Fall of 2007. I laughed and I laughed and I laughed... How could someone who was so clearly ignorant of nutrition and health be invited to appear on the venerable science show "Quirks and Quarks"? ...

MythBusters: Don't Try This at Home

Discovery Channel, Mary Packard

Jossey-Bass, 2006

Perfect for Cub Scouts
I bought this book without ever having seen the show, thinking it was *just* the thing for my 8-10 yo Cub Scouts. I couldn't have been more right! I was surprised to learn they *all* watch it, and love the show, so I made sure to catch it for myself and my family. ...

Walter E. Williams

Hoover Inst Pr, 2008

A great primer
Dr Williams presents his arguments forcefully and in laymen's language so the messages sink in. He makes it plain that there is no such thing as an ideal government-sponsored solution and that the most effective and efficient method of ordering society is to let ...

The Truth About Muhammad: Founder of the World's Most Intolerant Religion

Robert Spencer

Regnery Publishing, 2007

Great book true eye opener!
