James Randi leaves a towering legacy as an internationally known
magician, escape artist, and devoted investigator of the
paranormal, occult, and supernatural claims that have captured the
thinking of the public for generations. From ESP and psychokinesis,
psychic detectives, levitation, psychic surgery, and even UFOs and
astrology, Randi dedicated his life to exposing frauds and
swindlers. Forty years after the original publication of his
landmark book, Flim-Flam! remains a classic, with insights that are
still relevant today – and perhaps even more so. In this timeless
and timely book, Randi famously explores and exposes outrageous
deceptions that plague our minds and media. Unafraid to call
researchers to account for their failures and impostures, Randi
tells us that we have been badly served by scientists who have
failed to follow the procedures required by their training and
traditions. Mr. Randi provides readers with a compelling and
convincing document that will startle and enlighten all who
continue to seek out the truth.
Wat ’n mens van jou eie doel en waarde glo, bepaal byna elke area van
jou lewe – onder andere hoe jy dink en voel, hoe jy op omstandighede
reageer en hoe jy jou verhouding met God en ander mense hanteer. Maar
wat bepaal jou kern-oortuigings? Is dit gegrond op die waarheid? Of
verander dit voortdurend na gelang van ander se opinies of jou eie
emosies?

Who Are You? I am who God says I am. I can do what God says I can
do. I can become exactly what God says I can become. You are a
miracle. And that's exactly what this study is about-your true
identity. Who you really are. The culture will try to define you,
your past may try to label you, the enemy will seek to deceive you,
but no one has the authority to give you your name-your
identity-except your Father. And He says that your uniqueness is an
expression of His creative genius and is designed to reflect His
glory. Join Priscilla for eight weeks and begin to understand what
it means to be created in God's image and recreated in Christ's
image as His masterpiece. Once you discover who God says you are
and the spiritual inheritance that you have, you can start walking
in your true identity as a daughter of the most high King. You'll
spend your whole life either trying to be and become something you
were never meant to be, or discovering who you are in Him and
living up to that standard by the power of His Spirit within you.
You are His! And you were created for the purpose of reflecting
God's light to the world. Like all of God's miracles, your life
will leave a lasting impact if you'll simply be yourself,
surrendered to God, molded by His Spirit, and on mission for
Him.Defined Teen Girls' Bible Study Leader Kit includes a Bible

A Gallop poll surveyed 506 American teenagers, aged 13 to 18 and
discovered the following:- 69% believe in angels - 59% believe in
ESP- 55% believe in astrology - 28% believe in clairvoyance- 24%
believe in Bigfoot - 22% believe in witchcraft- 20% believe in
ghosts - 18% believe in the Loch Ness MonsterCarl Sagan has said
that the wonders of real science far surpass the supposed and
imagined mysteries of fringe science. Yet, as statistics show, the
paranormal is still an endless source of fascination for people
around the world.This collection of critical essays and
investigative reports examines virtually every area of fringe
science and the paranormal from a refreshingly scientific and
clear-minded viewpoint. The authors are noted scientists,
philosophers, psychologists, and writers. All bring to the task a
determination to sift sense from nonsense and fact from fiction in
an area notorious for misinformation, misperception, self-delusion,
and wishful thinking. They do so in a way that highlights the
differences between real science and pseudoscience. They've made
special efforts first to find the actual facts behind numerous
claims that have popular appeal, and then to explain and
communicate what scientific investigation and reasoning reveal
about them. Subjects treated to incisive and entertaining
examination include astrology, ESP, psychic detectives, psychic
predictions, parapsychology, remote-viewing, UFOs, creationism, the
Shroud of Turin, coincidences, cult archaeology, palmistry and
fringe medicine.There are also explorations of the implications of
paranormal beliefs for science education.
UNREASON: Exploring Pseudoscience, Conspiracies, and Extraordinary
Claims is a collection of forty-five of the best articles the
legendary Skeptical Inquirer magazine has published in the past
decade. Featuring articles from writers including Neil deGrasse
Tyson on the process of science, Richard Dawkins on the standards
of truth, Elizabeth Loftus on memory, Steven Pinker on the notion
of progress, and many others covering topics from the
politicization of science to the frightening rise of
misinformation, each entry in this collection se scientific
examination to bear in order to ferret out the facts and
misconceptions behind popular claims. All of the articles within
are interesting and readable. Yet they are also quite diverse. Some
articles reinforce and complement each other; others (as happens in
science) may voice disagreements or differing perspectives. But
they all have one thing in common: a respect for evidence—a
demand for the best, most well-tested, most scientifically reliable
information. Readers will learn: Why and how conspiracy rumors
start, spread, and readily gain believers How to stay afloat in a
sea of disinformation and survive the age of misinformation Why and
how we form beliefs and adhere to them so powerfully How and why
memory is fallible—and what we can do about it How
pseudoexperiments mislead the public about science Unreason will
arm readers with scientific knowledge to curb the misinformation
and misconceptions that increasingly threaten our civil discourse.
Even further, these essays present a way for us to be better
citizens, equipped to deal with the winds of misinformation and
disinformation swirling about us and better able to look ahead to a
world where science and reason—indeed just good old common
sense—can prevail.
Headlines and television news reports feature accounts of
reincarnation, the predictions of astrologers, and psychic
"miracles." Citizens report UFO sightings. Police departments call
on psychics to provide clues in baffling crimes. From every
available information source, the public is bombarded with
unsubstantiated claims of paranormal phenomena. How much of the
evidence is reliable? What is the truth behind these claims?
Paranormal Borderlands of Science is an exciting, well-informed
examination of the most publicized and exotic claims of astrology,
ESP, psychokinesis, precognition, UFOs, biorhythms, and other
phenomena. Written by respected psychologists, astronomers and
other scientists, philosophers, investigative journalists, and
magicians, the 47 articles in this superb collection present a
skeptical treatment of pseudoscientific claims - an aspect often
sorely neglected in sensationalized media reports. This book is an
effort to help readers sort fact from fiction and sense from
nonsense among the astonishing variety of assertions labeled
"paranormal." Never before published in book form, the essays in
this anthology originally appeared in the Skeptical Inquirer, a
leading magazine devoted to the critical investigation of
pseudoscience from a scientific viewpoint. Among the contributors
are: Isaac Asimov (distinguished science fiction author), Martin
Gardner (Scientific American columnist), James Randi (The Amazing
Randi), Philip Klass (noted UFO skeptic), Scot Morris (Omni), and
James Oberg (NASA). An essential contribution to skeptical
literature, this book will be of lasting value to all those wishing
to balance the case for paranormal claims by reading the dissenting
critics.

The Hundredth Monkey takes its title from philosopher Ron
Amundson's expose of the "Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon," a claim
about collective consciousness. Forty-three essays by thirty-nine
authors, including Isaac Asimov, Martin Gardner, Carl Sagan, Ray
Hyman, Paul Kurtz, and James Randi, examine aspects of paranormal
and fringe-science beliefs from an authoritative, scientific point
of view. The penetrating and entertaining essays, many with timely
postscripts, are grouped into nine categories:- Understanding Human
Need - Examining Popular Claims- Encouraging Critical Thinking -
Medical Controversies- Evaluating the Anomalous Experience -
Astrology- Considering Parapsychology - Crashed Saucer Claims-
Controversies Within ScienceScientists and scholars discuss the
burden of skepticism and the delicate balance between a creative
openness to new ideas and the relentless scrutiny of new claims. A
classic source book for scientifically responsible explanations of
controversies, hoaxes, bizarre mysteries, and popular cultural
myths.
'Fearsome wit' Elle 'Charming' Buzzfeed 'Ridiculously entertaining'
Associated Press 'Endearingly honest' Guardian A collection of
humorous autobiographical essays by the Academy Award-nominated
actress and star of Pitch Perfect, Twilight, Up in the Air, Into
the Woods and Trolls. Even before she made a name for herself on
the silver screen, Anna Kendrick was unusually small, weird,
defiant, and '10 per cent weird'. When she was thirteen, a
classmate dropped by her house unexpectedly and discovered written
evidence of Anna's social ineptitude. From then on she decided to
'keep the crazy inside my head where it belonged. Forever. But
here's the thing about crazy: It. Wants. Out.' In Scrappy Little
Nobody, she invites her readers inside her brain, sharing
extraordinary and charmingly ordinary stories with candour and
winningly wry observations. With her razor-sharp wit, Anna recounts
the absurdities she's experienced on her way to and from the heart
of pop culture as only she can - from her unusual path to the
performing arts (her older brother's affinity for Vanilla Ice may
have inadvertently launched her career) to her double life as a
middle-school student who also starred on Broadway to her initial
'dating experiments' (including only liking boys who didn't like
her back) to the perils of reading The Shining while filming
Twilight in the isolated Canadian wilderness to reviewing a binder
full of butt doubles to her struggle to live like an adult woman
instead of a perpetual 'man-child'. Enter Anna's world and follow
her rise from 'scrappy little nobody' to someone who dazzles on the
stage, the screen, and now the page - with an electric, singular
voice, at once familiar and surprising, sharp and sweet, funny and
serious (well, not that serious).

Quirky teen comedy drama starring Reece Thompson as Hal Hefner, an
average sophomore at Plainsboro High School in New Jersey. As well
as suffering the daily indignities of a typical teenager, Hal is
further socially debilitated by his terrible stutter. However, when
he falls in love with the star of the debating society, Ginny
Ryerson (Anna Kendrick), he soon finds himself immersed in her
ultra-competitive world of high school debating, with its players,
its politics and its own set of rules.
She is society’s most rebellious lady. After spending years
writing scandalous political essays, Lady Alexandra Grey is used to
society’s censure. Her father, however, is determined to get his
headstrong daughter under control. He is king of London’s
underworld. Nicholas Thorne has never been above lying, cheating,
or stealing in his quest for power. When Alexandra’s father
offers up a fortune to swindle his daughter into marriage, Nick
takes it – only to fall in love with his mark. In London’s East
End, happy endings only exist in fairytales. When Alexandra
discovers Nicholas’s deception, she vows to forget him for good.
But word gets out of her secret marriage to London’s most
notorious crime lord, and she finds her life in danger. Back in
close quarters with the man who betrayed her, passions ignite,
secrets are revealed, old enemies rise – and some are willing to
kill…
He is a heartbreaker. Gabriel St. Clair, the Earl of Montgomery,
has a reputation for being the most charming gentleman in London.
But to Miss Lydia Cecil, he is the man who shattered her heart.
Gabriel would rather Lydia hate him than learn the truth: he’s a
British spy—and his enemies are closing in. She is a wallflower.
Lydia has settled into a life as a companion for her elderly aunt.
But when she witnesses Gabriel gather intelligence on a foreign
enemy, she’s suddenly thrown into his dangerous game of
espionage. To save her life, Gabriel is forced to marry the girl he
once abandoned. Their greatest threat may be their past. As husband
and wife match wits, their greatest threat may not be the assassins
on their heels, but learning to set aside their pasts or risk
losing their love for good...
