Synopsis The Realm of Facts by : Nicholas Rescher

Knowledge of facts is essential for the management of life. Most studies of the subject examine how we go about trying to obtain it; they describe the processes and proceedings of rational inquiry. The present work steps back from this to inquire into the limits and limitations of such processes and to identify the assets and the limitabilities of what they are able to supply for us. It examines how knowledge of facts is secured and consolidated as such, and what the resulting information can and cannot provide. It argues that the unavoidable incompleteness of our factual information also endows it with an element of incorrectness. By looking also at the negative side of human inquiry the book’s perspective clarifies the nature of our grip on the facts that constitute our view of the reality of things.

Synopsis Changing Realms by : Shona Bradbury

One Woman, Two Lives Since her earliest memories, Elizabeth has lived two lives at the same time. She experiences the transition from present day California to rural England in 1555 the instant she falls asleep each night. As a child, orphaned Elizabeth was diagnosed as schizophrenic and institutionalized at a psychiatric hospital in northern California. She convinced the doctors at Marlowe Psychiatric Hospital her delusions stopped and was released on her 18th birthday. Dr. Philip Sawyer took on the responsibility of her state-mandated out-patient psychotherapy that was a contingency for her release. He is convinced she was wrongly diagnosed as schizophrenic, but suspects she is hiding a delusional disorder for fear of re-institutionalization. In the other realm, Elizabeth lives as the daughter of an English nobleman in the mid-sixteenth century. She believes a magic spell split her soul during birth which allows her to inhabit two bodies during two different time periods. She hopes to find a spell to unite her soul into one body.

As you ride, your fingers are pried loose from your current ideas of reality. Watch as your material world slowly begins to fade. You will travel through the machinery of the worlds of human thinking, quantum reality, the brain, and the mind. Finally, you enter a universe programmed within a computer, where the strange phenomena that appear there provides an explanation for the mysterious quantum physics that has puzzled humankind for a century. Shaun Holmes, MA, and high school math teacher, describes the book as " an intellectual thrill-ride that takes us from our everyday world, to a place where I question my very existence and there's no going back! I think it really has the potential to stir the pot."
