Paperback. NEW. In his book, "The End of Reality," author Jonathan Taplin takes a critical stance against four influential billionaires: Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Marc Andreessen. Taplin argues that these four individuals are promoting extravagant and distracting schemes that divert attention from pressing issues in our world today.

WH Allen. Paperback. NEW. In today's age of information overload, it is becoming increasingly challenging to separate fact from fiction. The prevalence of fake news, distorted historical accounts, and manipulated photographs has made it harder than ever before to decipher the truth. In the midst of this chaos, Jo Hedwig Teeuwisse, also known as The Fake History Hunter, has taken it upon herself to uncover the lies that have shaped our understanding of the past. One common misconception that Teeuwisse debunks in her new book is the notion that Hugo Boss designed the Nazi uniforms. Despite wide-spread belief, there is no evidence to support this claim.

Another myth that Teeuwisse tackles is the belief that medieval people thought the world was flat. Contrary to popular belief,… Read More
