Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - How old is the Great Sphinx of Giza Everyone has an answer. The textbooks say 2500 BCE, carved for the pharaoh Khafre. The documentaries say 10,500 BCE, the relic of a lost civilisation. They cannot both be right - and the gap between them is eight thousand years.The Sphinx and the Problem of Deep Time refuses to pick a side and sell it to you. Instead it does the harder, more interesting thing: it lays out the mainstream case at full strength, then weighs the six genuine anomalies that pull at it - the strange weathering, the drainage no one can quite explain, the head that seems too small - and asks, of each, what the evidence will actually bear.This is the ancient-mysteries book for readers who have watched the documentaries and come away unsure what to believe. No sensationalism. No sneering. Just a clear-eyed guide to what is known, what is guessed, and how to tell the difference - a toolkit you can carry to every claim about the ancient past.The first book in The Ancient Sceptic series.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Every culture that has ever left a record is full of monsters.They guard the gold in the eastern deserts and coil in the cold loch. They sit on the sleeper's chest at three in the morning and wait in the marsh with a lantern that is not a lantern. The usual explanation is that frightened people, with long nights and vivid imaginations, simply made them up.Beasts, Bones, and Bad Dreams argues that the usual explanation is mostly wrong.The great monsters of the world were not invented. They were observed, and then misread. Somebody really did find a beaked, four-legged skeleton weathering out of the desert and reach for an eagle crossed with a lion. Somebody really did watch a dying squid thrash at the surface, or a whale rot into the shape of a serpent. Pulling the monster apart never leaves you with less. It leaves you holding something you would never have gone looking for.Across twenty-nine chapters, sorted into four ways the world gets misread, this book tracks the real evidence behind the legends: THE BONES: how dinosaur fossils in the Gobi became the griffin, how elephant skulls became the Cyclops, and how a narwhal's tusk became the unicorn's horn.THE WILD: the real animals behind Bigfoot, the Yeti, the Beast of Gévaudan, and the Chupacabra.THE DEEP: the giant squid behind the kraken, the rotting whale behind the sea serpent, and the manatee behind the mermaid.THE MIND: the sleep paralysis behind the demon on your chest, the disease behind the vampire, the fungus behind the witch trial, and the psychology behind the ghost you were sure you saw.Written in the same sceptical-but-generous voice as the rest of The Ancient Sceptic series, this is not a book that laughs at the people who believed. It is a book that takes them seriously enough to find out what they actually saw. Fully sourced, extensively researched, and built for anyone who has ever wondered what was really moving in the dark.If you enjoyed The Sphinx and the Problem with Deep Time or Easter Island and the Problem with Movement, the next mystery is waiting in the shadows.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of Spiritualism, a contemporary manifestation of past beliefs that posits the existence of spirits that interact with the material world. Many of the Spiritualist beliefs discussed in this book are akin to the spiritualist practices of the past, which manifest in a variety of ways that will be explored throughout the text. In terms of its ideas, the author explains that Spiritualism is a system built to demonstrate the reality of an idea that is widely debated. The book contends that the spiritualist worldview is a valid system that offers a lens through which to interpret various real events. Beyond the presentation of the tenets of Spiritualism, the author also includes critiques of the system, and offers possible explanations for the phenomena reported by Spiritualists.
