But this was not the case. #2 The myth of Galileo is that he was condemned by the Catholic Church for having discovered the truth. But this was not the case. #3 The Church of Rome’s epic confrontation with Galileo was a supremely significant event that reflects the issues that define the most portentous turning point of the second millennium, the transition from the Age of Faith to the Age of Reason. #4 The Church’s conflict with Galileo was not about Copernicanism, but rather about his belief in the reality of mathematical objects. The Church denied this, on the grounds that it excluded the possibility that there was an ultimate goal and purpose to existence.

"Why do automakers sell us cars they know to be unsafe? Why do multinational drug companies advertise and promote drugs they are aware could harm us? Why is big business allowed to poison our environment - and us? Why is our food so unhealthy and obesity growing at such a disconcerting rate? Why do public companies mislead their employees and stockholders by hiding unfavorable results and, all too often, criminally falsifying figures?" "Greed, Inc. addresses head-on the pressing question of why so many major corporations have lost all sense of ethical direction, focusing totally on the bottom line, and, more egregiously, falsifying that information whenever it suits their needs or demands."--BOOK JACKET.

"Concepts" is a search for theism's roots - coined prototheism - a science of religion. Its notion is: Belief in God is a misconception of the Life Urge emerging from deep in human nature. "Concepts" traces Life's trajectory - from Earth's origin, to consciousness, to today's runaway material culture.

In his introduction to this book, George R. Harrison, Dean Emeritus of M.I.T.'s School of Science, writes as follows: "Basic to man's behavior is his ability to determine, modify, and adapt to his environment. This he has been able to do in proportion to his skill at making measurements, and fundamental to all other measuring operations is his ability to determine locations in the material world. Thus the science of mechanical measurements is a fundamental one. It is this science, and the art which accompanies and informs it, with which this book is concerned." This is the third book produced by the , Inc., of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Like all of its products, the book is marked by a clean precision of design and execution. The firm has built a worldwide reputation since 1924, both as a manufacturer of special tooling to extremely close accuracies and of machine tools that make possible a very high degree of precision. Wayne R. Moore has assembled in the 350 pages of Foundations of Mechanical Accuracythe company's intimate knowledge of and experience with mechanical accuracy, and how to achieve it. He has illustrated his text with over 500 original photographs and drawings. This book tells how to attain precision in manufacturing to millionths of an inch and how to control such precision by appropriate measuring techniques. The book is divided into four main sections: geometry, standards of length, dividing the circle, and roundness. A fifth section covers "Universal Measuring Machine Techniques and Applications." The book is printed in two colors throughout, and interspersed with full-page, full-color plates.
