Book Description
Known as the “Father of Western Philosophy”, Aristotle imparted priceless wisdom to the world during his time. And even in the modern era, people turn to his quotes in times of dilemma to get a clear picture of their life and its problems. Among his numerous teachings, one of his sayings that really stands out is- “There is no great genius without some touch of madness”. This philosophy has passed the test of time with flying colors and is very much applicable even today. It not only makes us think what defines genius but also raises several questions as to the real meaning of madness and why every intelligent or smart individual cannot be an individual. Having said that, words of an individual cannot and should not be measured through a singular lens. Thus, a different point of view, scientific, to be precise, should be used to examine these deep words that the Greek scientist and philosopher left for us to figure out.

From the “Hundred Best Books” to the “Ten Greatest Thinkers” to the “Ten Greatest Poets,” here is a concise collection of the world’s most significant knowledge. For the better part of a century, Will Durant dwelled upon—and wrote about—the most significant eras, individuals, and achievements of human history. His selections have finally been brought together in a single, compact volume. Durant eloquently defends his choices of the greatest minds and ideas, but he also stimulates readers into forming their own opinions, encouraging them to shed their surroundings and biases and enter “The Country of the Mind,” a timeless realm where the heroes of our species dwell. From a thinker who always chose to exalt the positive in the human species, The Greatest Minds and Ideas of All Time stays true to Durant's optimism. This is a book containing the absolute best of our heritage, passed on for the benefit of future generations. Filled with Durant's renowned wit, knowledge, and unique ability to explain events and ideas in simple and exciting terms, this is a pocket-size liberal arts and humanist curriculum in one volume.

Book Description
When a corpse turns up at his favorite tavern, Crispin Guest—disgraced knight turned detective--begins an inquiry, but the dead man turns out to be a Templar knight, an order thought to be extinct for 75 years, charged with protecting a certain religious relic which is now missing. Before he can begin to investigate, Crispin is abducted by shadowy men who are said to be minions of the French anti-pope. Further complicating matters are two women: one from court with an enticing proposition, and another from Crispin’s past, dredging up long-forgotten emotions he would rather have left behind. And as if all that weren’t enough, a cunning young cutpurse by the name of Jack Tucker has insinuated himself into Crispin’s already difficult life. The deeper Crispin probes into the murder, the more it looks like the handiwork of an old friend turned adversary. With enemies from all sides, Crispin has his hands full in more than murder in this intriguing prequel to the acclaimed series.

Book Description
How do you put mind into science? You have to use two concepts called "holenmerism" and "nullibism". These are very old ideas, familiar to philosophers for many hundreds of years. Yet science knows nothing about them. They have dropped off the intellectual radar even though they are the answer to existence. If you want to understand existence, you will have to learn what these two concepts mean. This book will provide you with everything you need to transform how you think about the world around you. You will discover that ideas that were mainstream until the rise of scientific empiricism and materialism a few hundred years ago were right all along, and were describing none other than ontological holography.

Book Description
This sweeping historical romance follows Mallory Irving, a talented musician who becomes entangled in a forbidden affair that spans centuries and clashes between cultures. When Mallory and Harriet cross paths in modern day Toronto, their connection defies logic and time itself. Harriet finds herself drawn into Mallory’s mystical world as his concert tour heads for the Middle East, the setting of Mallory’s intricate past life at the height of the Crusades. There, Harriet witnesses the reincarnation of Mallory’s epic love with an alluring Arab peasant girl named Yasmina, which ended in tragedy centuries ago. As violence rocks Mallory’s concert and tragedy strikes once more, Harriet must uncover the truth of Mallory’s tortured soul and their shared destiny before history repeats itself. Their journey through time reveals a poignant truth: love transcends the ages, and the echoes of history reverberate in the depths of the human heart. This novel is a mesmerising blend of historical richness and emotional depth, a story that captures the enduring essence of human connection across the sands of time.

Book Description
The accumulation of the following quotes began when I served the Army chief of staff as a speechwriter and is a result of encouragement that my father provided to me every day of our lives together. This is a very small slice of the wisdom of the ages uttered by the more famous and not-so-famous people of their respective time periods. Much of that wisdom uttered decades and even hundreds of years ago are still as relevant today as they were when they were uttered. The times may change, but people don’t.
