Product Description
Philosophers, theorists, writers and such commentators use various yardsticks of measurement when trying to gauge the temperature and general well-being of the human condition. This book seeks to investigate the state of the human condition as it stands in the 21st century, thus far. To this end, the concepts of democracy and postmodernism are given much attention in this book. Several threats to 21st century democracy are examined, as 'real' world issues are highlighted as examples for you the reader to assimilate. This exercise exposes that some threats to democracy are underpinned by the factors of religion and religious fanaticism. This reality is shown to be an indication of a retarded state of human development, so metaphysical philosophy and postmodernism are proffered as concepts that encapsulate the ideological medicine that is necessary to remedy this state of retardation.The postmodern debate is therefore assessed, as this book seeks to further define postmodernism while trying to transform this intriguing and otherwise profound concept, into a more cognitively palatable philosophical construct. A metaphysical interpretation of postmodernism is given in an endeavour to reveal that postmodernism has an eclectic core that is, in part, spiritual in nature. Time graphs are provided, showing the developmental trajectory of both modernism and postmodernism, as they progress through time. It is hoped that these graphs serve to show even clearer, what is the real situation of societal evolution before and during the reign of postmodernism. ... Read more

How real are the following beliefs; psychic powers, UFO's, astrology?Beliefs in metaphysics and the paranormal are not the "fringe" exceptions any more - they are now mainstream. In other words, if you believe in aliens being dissected in Arizona or planet waves profoundly affecting a person's character, then you think like the masses. People are constantly striving for deeper meaning in life; answers to the "big questions". The "Metaphysical and Hocus Pocus" paperback book shows that the "answers" do not have to be veiled in a hocus pocus format. In other words, much of what's "real" is refreshingly accessible via science and nature. Popular media and self-made gurus/preachers will have us believe that "profound truth" needs to be cloaked in nebulous myths. Ever noticed how believers in metaphysics and paranormal are often depressed? The text also explores alternatives and solutions that can contribute to a person developing a better sense of well-being. "The end of the world is nigh!" may be the rallying call for many a preacher and fortune-teller, but some of us would rather embrace a more realistic (and uplifting) outlook. ... Read more

religious fanatics won't like this little book
The author is apparently not afraid to rock the boat of conventionality - he's comfortable (and adept) at poking holes at many commonly held truisms such as UFO visitations, Bigfoot,and 'AIDS is a CIA plot'.This oneshould ruffle some feathers. ... Read more

Product Description
In the summer of 1947 a "flying disc" crashed into the desert wasteland of a New Mexico ranch. The craft was tracked and located by radar operators from the US Army Air Force, and a recovery team was dispatched to the striken extra-terrestrial vehicle. The strange-looking craft was found to contain the dead bodies of five small humanoid creatures. This monograph by Tim Shawcross, director of the TV documentary "Incident at Roswell", provides an account of the event and its aftermath, including an analysis of the controversial film of an alleged "alien autopsy". The book is based on first-hand, eyewitness accounts of the event itself and of the political and military actions that followed. ... Read more

Boooooring......
I have had this book for over 2 years and just cannot finish it. I am halfway through and I can hardly remember anything. I struggled to get to the middle of the book. Stay away from this one. The book just seems to repeat the details and doesn't give you hard facts. I don't ever think I will finish this one!

Perfect for School Reports
I found the book extremely useful for the report I had to write on the Roswell "Conspiracy". Backing up statements and theories with clear facts, it makes speculations sound plausible to even some of the mostdisbelieving readers. Having had no previous knowledge on the Roswellmatter, the bookfilled me in on the details and then some. I got an A onthe report and I give the book 5 stars! :) ... Read more
