Imagine yourself sitting in front of your fireplace inside your cave 20 thousand years ago and suddenly you hear a loud thrusting and eerie noise. You take a look outside and see a bright light that disappears in a blink of an eye followed by its thrusting noise. Yes, that's the sound of thunder! But, you take a look at your comrades, and they all seem frightened, why? 20 thousand years ago, there was a myth that thunder was a result anger cumulated by the Gods towards humans. Fortunately enough, that wasn't the case when we started investigating and observing rationally. Human myths and "truths" have been around since all the way back then. This book will take a look at modern myths and investigate them to see what's their worth. Myths such as the left/right brain personality, 10% usage of the brain "power", and other interesting "truths". Are these "truth" just a myth or do they hold their ground? Well, my dear, by the end you will find out".

Download Great Controversies of the Bible Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In Great Controversies of the Bible, Robert Ramia-Enríquez presents a serious, non-religious analysis of the Bible, with scientific and historical references regarding inconsistencies and contradictions. He suggests a parallelism between ancient cultures and those involved in the Bible, by creating the concept of a Jewish Christian mythology. Although as a child Ramia-Enríquez was brought up in the Catholic faith and was a fervent believer, over the years he realized that the rites of worship were redundant and meaningless. They did not involve the faithful and were not always based on historical truth. He later experienced an inner religious crisis after studying the Papacy, the Inquisition, and above all the social injustice and horror wrought upon mankind by wars inspired by religions promising invincibility to some and havoc and destruction to others. Robert Ramia-Enríquez believes that faith is a highly personal commitment and that the possible existence of a higher being is nothing more than just a notion. He therefore does not accept that any person can act as the delegate of a higher being or exercise the duty of representing God among others. Great Controversies of the Bible examines in great detail the myths, legends, and contradictions of the Bible.

Advertising is often portrayed negatively, as corrupting a mythically pure relationship between people and things. In Advertising Myths Anne Cronin argues that it is better understood as a 'matrix of transformation' that performs divisions in the social order and arranges classificatory regimes. Focusing on consumption controversies, Cronin contends that advertising is constituted of 'circuits of belief' that flow between practitioners, clients, regulators, consumers and academics. Controversies such as those over tobacco and alcohol advertising, she argues, distil these beliefs and articulate with programmes of social engineering aimed at altering consumption patterns. This book will be essential reading for students and academics of advertising and consumption.
