Pure Society: From Darwin to Hitler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a highly effective and well-documented portrait of the Social Darwinist phenomenon that arose in the wake of Darwin, resulting in the emergence of the various toxic brands of eugenics, and a spectrum of malevolent socio-political ideologies, including that of the Nazis/Hitler. Contemporary Darwinists are in denial about the real history of their subject, and it requires the kind of careful research seen here to expose the reality. This book mirrors, with a less conservative/religious viewpoint, the similar research in Weikart's From Darwin to Hitler, and is clearer on the ideologies behind the Social Darwinist phenomenon, including the later sociobiology, so called. It is particularly clear on some of the abuses of science in the various reductionist scenarios such as the 'selfish gene' nonsense to explain altruism. Very good and important treatment. Needs a bit more attention from students of evolution.

As genetic manipulation comes to dominate medical science, a timely and trenchant historyof eugenics.

Amid the eulogies and celebrations commemorating the bicentenary of Charles Darwin's birth, the darker side of evolutionary theory should not be forgotten. In The Pure Society, André Pichot, one of France's foremost specialists in the history of science, excavates the underside of the Darwinian legacy, where the notions of 'race' and heredity became powerful tools of malign political agendas and instruments of social oppression.

Pichot examines the relationship between science, politics and ideology through an analysis of specific cases: from Nazism and the concentration camps to the various eugenicist research programmes launched or financed by eminent scientific organizations.

Racist eugenic ideas were once prevalent among the scientific community, despite a patent lack of supporting evidence. As today's scientists and writers applaud the advance of science, the egregious mistakes made along the way are too often forgotten. Now, with the mapping of the human genome and rapid advances in gene therapies, Pichot warns that biologists are increasingly emboldened to venture into the realms of public policy and politics. If moral philosophers abandon these fields, it is all too possible that the lights of a misguided science will resurrect the dream of a 'pure society'.

Gateways to the Otherworld: The Secrets Beyond the Final Journey, from the Egyptian Underworld to the Gates in the Sky Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've all wondered if there really is life after death. We've all wondered if there is life that we can't see, souls among us that are not visible to our eyes but felt in our heart.
This book examines these and other subjects. It examines ESP. It looks at the Pryamids. But what I found most fascinating was that the book makes the argument that ancient man was much more aware and attuned to the world than we heretofore believed. They knew "their place in the universe."
The book looks into many mysterious issues that people from the beginning have wondered about.
The book is easy to read and well structured. It provides what could be considered a good deal of evidence.
Whether you end out believing or not, this book is well worth reading.
Highly recommended.

Is there life after death? Is there a world outside our own?Mankind has wrestled with these profound questions for as long as there has been consciouness. Gateways to the Otherworld reveals that ancient man already knew the answers.Acclaimed author Philip Gardiner proves that our ancestors were far more advanced--scientifically and spiritually--than previously believed. Through a special technique, ancient Egyptians and others were able to journey to other realities within themselves--in short, to the Otherworld. The author undergoes his own experiments to prove the point.Gardiner makes us consider the fact that ancient man also knew more about his place in the universe than previously thought. He placed buildings and objects in specific places around the globe. Why? Because at these points he had discovered areas where lines of energy cross--points with distinct relation to the universal and human wave resonance of electromagnetism. When man journeyed to these places, he was joining with God and visualising the effect.The remarkable conclusions and discoveries in this book not only dispel some age-old myths, but also address questions such as:*Is there a universal frequency that allows the mind to travel into other realms? *How does this relate to the holographic universe and the concept of quantum entanglement?*Does the Great Pyramid hold a real secret to the quantum realm?*What are those mysterious round towers found scattered around our planet?*Is there an answer to the phenomena of earth energies?*What is the truth behind the Crystal Skulls and the rods of power? *Is ESP real?What Gateways to the Otherworld uncovers are not just tales of ancient trips to other realms, nor theories on why stone circles were built in specific locations, but real answers based on thorough research and science.
