History: Fiction or Science? (Chronology, No. 1)

Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Excellent overview.......2003-09-07

Steinbock et al present an excellent series of essays & articles that provide a quality overview of some of the key issues in bioethics. Almost all of the major figures in the field are represented and, likewise, most of the major views are as well. The majority of the essays are accessible and do not require much prior knowledge.

My only complaint stems from the fact that the editors deleted the footnotes from numerous articles, severely limiting follow-up research. Oh, and PowerWeb is next to useless.

All-in-all this is an excellent textbook for a general bioethics course or to gain a solid understanding of the field.

Great collection of biomed ethics articles.......2001-06-27

Ethical Issues in Modern Medicine is a fantastic way to familiarize yourself with the central and most controversial issues in the contemporary biomedical ethics. Euthanasia, abortion, genetic engineering and cloning, surrogate motherhood, procreative autonomy - all these and several other topics are featured in this book. I especially liked the fact that in the discussion of each issue both sides of the debate are equally presented, which allows one to learn the major arguments of all sides and therefore obtain a fairly objective perspective on the subject.

The only problem that I had with this book was the amazingly uneven quality of the articles. Along with truly outstanding articles by brilliant philosophers, the composers of this anthology unfortunately chose to include some essays by self-proclaimed ethical experts, who are nothing but charlatans lacking the fundamental philosophical concepts and concealing this in the shroud of demagoguery. "Cloning human DNA is morally wrong because... mmm.. well, because it's unnatural" - isn't not an argument, and too many of the articles in the book resolve on this sort of "philosophy."

That being said, overall this book still is a great opportunity to gain insight into the most interesting problems in today's biomedical ethics. And of course, some of the articles are simply superb - for example, Judith Thomson's article on abortion is the paradigm of everything written on the subject. Therefore, I suggest in case you want to be able to distinguish between good articles on biomed ethics and some aweful crap read Judith Thomson's Realm Of Rights. This will give you a good understanding of what constitutes a moral right, and what rights we are entitled to.

Advocates that competition is a more potent engine for growth than tax or monetary policy.......2005-08-23

Paul London provides a very interesting overview of the growth of the large industrial economy after the Depression and WWII and its death and transition into the more global and competitive economy we have today. He notes that the goal of the Depression focused the American economy on providing full employment. This led the government to support the rise of the huge steel, communications, automotive, mining, and other large corporations and those that supported them.

These corporations used their might (along with union might and supportive governmental regulation) to fight off and restrict competition. Mr. London sees this weak competitive environment as one of the causes of the inflation during the seventies. He also faults Richard Nixon for his wage and price controls and political influence on the Federal Reserve. He gives great credit to Presidents Ford and Carter for having the political courage to fight inflation and to take painful steps to right the economic cart.

He notes that it was Carter, not Reagan, who put Volcker in charge of the Federal Reserve and deserves the credit for Volcker's success. Mr. London also expresses some skepticism in the monetary and tax cut approach to encouraging growth. He goes so far as to say that Greenspan's reputation is inflated because he had little to do with the success of the economy in the eighties and especially in the nineties. For Mr. London, it was the competition with the Japanese that forced the automotive companies to increase efficiency and hold prices down. It was small steel companies such as Nucor that saved the American Steel industry. He also notes that breaking up the AT&T cartel that fought every innovation that has led to vastly increased service offerings at a much lower cost. He also tells the story of how competition has affected the airlines, our banking regime, and retailing (he notes that Wal-Mart keeping prices low has helped fight inflation).

I think he makes some very good points. However, I cannot go all the way with him. Taxation does play a huge role in our business environment and we have to be careful what distortions we build into our market system. And his dismissal of monetary policy is far to facile for me. Printing money too much money has always been a tool of governments trying to get away with something. It always brings inflation through a devalued currency (not just devalued exchange rates, which can be just fine).

Mr. London also talks about how competition can help our current problems in education and health care. His prescriptions are not very detailed, but I am encouraged in the different role he sees for government in fixing these problems. Rather than more government programs and greater government control, he encourages intelligent encouragement of private enterprise in both environments through regulatory incentives that will lower costs (for example, by mandating electronic medical records) and make a more level playing field for innovation.

This is a good book and well worth reading. And I like the breath of fresh air approach rather than a restating of the normal doctrines of our times from either the left or the right. Well worth reading and discussing.

Why we should not be scared of foreign companies!.......2005-07-22

200 great pages that provide focus to the common sense wisdom your grandfather taught you - competition creates more for society and that benefits all of us. A central theme from London's book is the benefit of foreign investment. As I vaguely recall the 85% US content on my Honda Accord, I could not agree more.

GREAT book for the lay reader!!.......2005-05-27

Thank you, thank you, Dr. London, for your well- and clearly-written book, explaining your economics theory in an informative, entertaining and highly readable fashion! It was fascinating to learn how the Wal-Marts and Toyotas of the world reinvented their respective industries, and how free trade and deregulation help to provide better consumer products. I'm a fan!!
Sincerely,

Terrific exposition of the benefits of competition.......2005-02-05

In this excellent book, Paul London echoes the thesis of William W. Lewis (The Power of Productivity, University of Chicago Press, 2004) that it is increased product market competition that is responsible for the prosperity of the past two decades. Factors ranging from globalization to deregulation to financial innovation all led to this increase in competition. Globalization increased productivity by forcing the streamlining of domestic industries. Deregulation meant that protected, inefficient companies had to change their ways to survive against new market entrants. And new financial market segments ranging from the NASDAQ market to high-yield bonds made capital available to new companies that had not previously been able to exist.

London argues that the increase in prosperity was caused far more by increased competition in private industry than by federal monetary or fiscal policies. It was not the Federal Reserve's monetary policy of the 1980s-1990s that killed inflation, but rather increased competition, which meant that companies were no longer free to indiscriminately raise prises. Likewise, it was increased competition rather than lower tax rates that forced existing companies to increase their investment in productivity-boosting capital. Higher living standards were the happy result for consumers, employees, and investors alike.

Most of London's evidence is anecdotal rather than empirical, but on the plus side this makes the book highly readable. An enthusiastic five stars.

Book Description

When John Milton wrote Areopagitica in 1644, he was not making a contribution to the great debate on church versus state or the limits of toleration, except incidentally. Areopagitica was the result of the response to his Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce the previous year. Advocating divorce seemed to strike at the roots of any religious society; it was universally condemned, and a divine of the Westminster Assembly demanded from the pulpit that Milton's tract be burnt. The Stationers' Company, less interested in theology than the preservation of the copyright system (Milton, like most of his contemporaries, had not obtained a license for the book), joined in the chorus of condemnation. In Areopagitica, Milton first of all defended himself and his right to express what he had written, and then he moved on to consider a new aspect of the problem, the rights of a book itself, independent of the intention of its author.

On the day the English Parliament abolished the Court of Star Chamber and the ecclesiastical Court of High Commission, freedom of the press, both as an idea and as a material fact, was born. It was to take some time to grow to maturity, and its first years were not without risk and dangers. Parliament had no intention of setting the press free--rather of transferring control into its own hands. But when it finally got around to tackling the problem two years later with the Ordinance of June 16, 1643, Pandora's box had opened--political consciousness had come to the country, brought by the hundreds of books and pamphlets that had been printed in the interval. So not only did this Ordinance have little or no practical effect, it created a new and separate idea of debate among the mass of religious and political controversy: How free can speech be? It was against this background that Areopagitica was published in 1644.

Commentary by Nicolas Barker, searchable live text.

Download Description

In 1644 the English poet and man of letters, John Milton, published the Areopagitica as an appeal to Parliament to rescind their Licensing Order of June 16th, 1643. This order was designed to bring publishing under government control by creating a number of official censors to whom authors would submit their work for approval prior to having it published. Milton's argument, in brief, was that precensorship of authors was little more than an excuse for state control of thought. Recognizing that some means of accountability was necessary to ensure that libellous or other illegal works were kept under control, Milton felt this could be achieved by ensuring the legal responsibility of printers and authors for the content of what they published.

talk about yur crybabies.......2007-03-07

Thank goodness there is a book that no longer refers humankind as mankind, references he for they, and men for human. To the reviewers below-get over it-

As a woman, I appreciate it, this is not some politically sensitive wordage, it's inclusive wordage. I am not a man, mankind does NOT mean humankind, and during John Milton's time women were being burned on stakes, so his outlook especially torwards women was dim, and very well could have been reflected in this book, if it wasn't for the publishers insights regarding this. This is an excellent account of one of the original ideas for free speech in this country. This book will particularly interest those who are in media studies.

Avoid Censored Version by Bandana Books.......2003-02-27

Let the buyer beware! I should have recalled this adage and examined my purchase more carefully.

I am now the owner of writings by the new John Milton, a politically correct John Milton, a John Milton that rejects manhood for adulthood and rejects man for person. This new Milton embraces the humanist pronouns hu and hus and hum, non-sexist third person pronouns. He, his and him and she, her and hers are no more.

Milton's quotation of Euripides is likewise changed. Euripides now says' "And hu who can and will, deserves high praise". Euripides stands corrected.

Milton's use of archaic English has also been modernized. Milton has cast aside much of his seventeenth century English. This Bandanna Books version of John Milton is no longer John Milton, but an altered, censored revision.

Ironically, in the essay Areopagitica John Milton is arguing to the Parliament of England for freedom of the press, specifically for the liberty of unlicensed printing. Would John Milton have approved this modern, secular, nonsexist version of his essay?

Milton would have agreed that Bandanna Books had a right to publish, but I suspect that he would have argued that that Bandanna Books had a moral obligation to label the book cover to indicate that Milton's essay had been significantly altered to fit a peculiar nonsexist standard.

Bandanna Books in Santa Barbara, California offers other humanist works including Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, Plato's Apology and Crito, and commentaries by Confucius. Unless you find comfort in hu, hus, and hum, I suggest that the traditional Whitman, Plato, and Confucius might be adequate and that you look elsewhere. Let the buyer beware!

"Hu", "hus", "hum"? Ho hum.

This is a modified edition of Milton's original; beware!.......1998-11-23

Prospective buyers of this edition should be aware that it is edited; some of Milton's words have been changed, either to modernize or to "humanize" (that is, eliminate sexist usages by the replacement of he/she, him/her, etc. with bizarre "hu", "hum," etc. This is not a worthy edition of Milton's great text!

Original text offensively edited to remove "sexist" pronouns.......1998-11-02

It is strange, indeed, that a great work such as Milton's Areopagitica should be issued in a redacted version--that is to say, edited to modernize the poet's vocabulary and usage: in a word, to impose political correctness on his essay. This is the worst sort of historical revisionism. In a sense, A. S. Ash--the editor--has seen fit to censor a work which decries censorship and he stands condemned by the work he has edited.

The book is part of the Little Humanist Classics series, which attempts to introduce "the humanist pronouns HU, HUS, and HUM wherever the reference is to a third person generally, without reference to sex." This edition also substitutes "adulthood" for "manhood" and modernizes certain other archaisms in Milton's language.

I sympathize completely with an effort to make English non-sexist, but I see no need to re-issue the classics (Milton, Tolstoi, Plato, Whitman, etc.) in expurgated, politically correct versions.

As far as the modernization of vocabulary, this seems hardly necessary with Milton, whose English is not as far removed from us as Chaucer's. After all, Milton is a bit more modern than Shakespeare, whose works are intelligible to most literate adults.

For those who prefer to read the Areopagitica as Milton wrote it, I recommend the Everman edition of the Complete English Poems, edited by Gordon Campbell. This volume includes the essays "Of Education" and "Areopagitica."

Book Description

Free Probability Theory studies a special class of 'noncommutative' random variables, which appear in the context of operators on Hilbert spaces and in one of the large random matrices. Since its emergence in the 1980s, free probability has evolved into an established field of mathematics with strong connections to other mathematical areas, such as operator algebras, classical probability theory, random matrices, combinatorics, representation theory of symmetric groups. Free probability also connects to more applied scientific fields, such as wireless communication in electrical engineering. This book is the first to give a self-contained and comprehensive introduction to free probability theory which has its main focus on the combinatorial aspects. The volume is designed so that it can be used as a text for an introductory course (on an advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level), and is also well-suited for the individual study of free probability.

The previous criticism is nitpicking; I'm going to London to teach some courses for American students, and I found lots of neat information here, not only about museum contents related to my classes, but also info on sites for my wife and 13 year old daughter to explore. true, thre is no index, but the book is so short, compact, readable, that you don't need one. Just do what i did: highlight the sites you want to see; it'll take you under an hour; you can do it on the plane!

A good idea, but poor execution.......1998-10-31

This book is loaded with quite a few free things to do in London, England. Indeed, they seem to be good suggestions. However, the book lacks an index, which makes it hard to revisit interesting ideas (what page is the Sikorski museum on?). Also, the book offers only the briefest of blurbs about each of the sites it suggests. This means that it is hard to tell what you are going to actually see.
