Shadows of Science
In this enlightening and entertaining book, author and Skeptical Inquirer editor Kendrick Frazier takes readers on a journey to the contentious boundary zone between science and its antagonists: pseudoscience (pretend science) and anti-science (open hostility to science). Pseudoscience romps in the shadows of science but takes on the guise of science to excite, sell, mislead, and deceive the public. Anti-science denigrates, even denies, findings of science for ideological ends. In this dangerous age of misinformation (and dis-information), we need science’s remarkable truth-seeking tools more than ever to help counter society’s crazier impulses in which opinion, beliefs, and lies trump f...

UFOs, Chemtrails, and Aliens
UFOs. Aliens. Strange crop circles. Giant figures scratched in the desert surface along the coast of Peru. The amazing alignment of the pyramids. Strange lines of clouds in the sky. The paranormal is alive and well in the American cultural landscape. In UFOs, Chemtrails, and Aliens, Donald R.

The Rankins of Montana
This is the story of the Rankins, a family that embodied the risk and ambition that transformed America. John Rankin arrived in the West chasing the adventure of gold mining but soon turned to ranching and building in the new town of Missoula. There he met Olive Pickering, who had left New Hampshire in 1878 to become a teacher and seek a husband on the American frontier. John and Olive's children continued to demonstrate their parent's ambition and nerve. Their son became one of the biggest landowners in the country, one of the first personal injury lawyers, and a crusader against railroads and mining. Jeannette became the first woman in a national legislature, voted against two world wars and led marches protesting the Vietnam War. As a dean, Harriet helped develop the modern co-educational university. Edna traveled the world advocating for birth control. The Rankins faced both national adulation and condemnation for the choices they made. Their family story concerns independence and education, activism, the boundaries created by gender, religious choices, and the changing meaning of the West.
Area 53
Have you ever wondered if an alien UFO really crashed at Roswell? Do you suspect that its advanced technology has been reverse-engineered, giving rise to the out-of-this-world innovations we see today? What about the crew? Did any survive the crash? Were they truly aliens, or could they have been something entirely different – perhaps the subjects of the ultimate black-op? You’ve always known that the government has been covering up the truth, haven’t you? Just as you’ve realized that the story has been kept secret all this time for a reason. But are you certain you know what that reason is? Maybe it’s time to think again. In Area 53, you’ll be invited to critically re-assess all those conspiracy theories that have been the subject of countless books and TV programs over the years. With a fresh perspective and eye-opening revelations, this book will challenge your beliefs and make you question everything you thought you knew about the Roswell incident and its aftermath.
