This account of one man's search for truth bears witness to defection and apostasy and, in the end, to the humility of deeply lived experience. Eliseo Vivas, distinguished teacher, literary critic, and philosopher, relates the search by his alter ego, Alonzo Quijano, for a philosophy to live by as well as one to think well by. His intellectual odyssey is marked by defection from communism and apostasy from the philosophy of John Dewey. Vivas provides throughout this account of Alonzo's rupture with his commitments an analysis of the ideas of the major philosophic thinkers of the Western world, an analysis which first moves toward partial acceptance but which ends with their rejection. He devotes the final chapters to the views on politics and moral, theological, and aesthetic subjects at which Alonzo arrived following his apostasy and defection. Alonzo claims at the end that his philosophical quest was not a failure, for he now "knows that he does not know much." Hence the two roads to ignorance. Eliseo Vivas has taught at Wisconsin, Chicago, Ohio State, and Northwestern. He has also edited journals, published widely, and has been a participant and, indeed, a major force in most of the intellectual discussions of his time. His examination of his contemporaries' beliefs and detailed analysis of the views he rejects are therefore especially valuable. Those peace-loving minds who find Alonzo's adventures relevant to an understanding of their age will be fascinated by this unique and important book.

For the first time in recorded history of man, a mathematical formula has been developed to measure the accuracy and error in a vote, in a group decision. Humans have lived for thousands of years making big and small decisions that dominate their life in politics, law, economics and culture, without ever measuring these decisions' mathematical accuracy and error. Specific formulas for this did not exist. Now, a formula exists! A congress, a parliament, a senate, a court, a Supreme Court, a jury, a corporate board, or a commission have no excuse any longer for allowing votes that are not measured for accuracy and error. The content shows how the uneducated public acts as "a mob that uses the law" to control others or steal their property just as "a mob that uses guns" to do the same. The author describes many lawmakers and the uneducated public as "thieves" stealing by force-of-law from one person to give another, just as Robin Hood was a thief that stole by force-of-weapon from innocent people and was glorified by those who received stolen property and cared less how this stolen property was gained, as long as it was given to them. Individuals will learn from this book how to create Freedom Coalitions instead the current system of Oppression Coalitions that are the basis of current Mob Rule political systems. The new basis for freedom will be mathematics, a scientific solid and sustainable foundation for human freedom.

In Roads Were Not Built for Cars, Carlton Reid reveals the pivotal—and largely unrecognized—role that bicyclists played in the development of modern roadways. Reid introduces readers to cycling personalities, such as Henry Ford, and the cycling advocacy groups that influenced early road improvements, literally paving the way for the motor car. When the bicycle morphed from the vehicle of rich transport progressives in the 1890s to the “poor man’s transport” in the 1920s, some cyclists became ardent motorists and were all too happy to forget their cycling roots. But, Reid explains, many motor pioneers continued cycling, celebrating the shared links between transport modes that are now seen as worlds apart. In this engaging and meticulously researched book, Carlton Reid encourages us all to celebrate those links once again.

Olivier Roy, world-renowned authority on Islam and politics, finds in the modern disconnection between faith communities and socio-cultural identities a fertile space for fundamentalism to grow. Instead of freeing the world from religion, secularization has encouraged a kind of holy ignorance to take root, an anti-intellectualism that promises immediate, emotional access to the sacred and positions itself in direct opposition to contemporary pagan culture. The secularization of society was supposed to free people from religion, yet individuals are converting en masse to fundamentalist faiths, such as Protestant evangelicalism, Islamic Salafism, and Haredi Judaism. These religions either reconnect adherents to their culture through casual referents, like halal fast food, or maintain their momentum through purification rituals, such as speaking in tongues, a practice that allows believers to utter a language that is entirely their own. Instead of a return to traditional religious worship, we are now witnessing the individualisation of faith and the disassociation of faith communities from ethnic and national identities. Roy explores the options now available to powers that hope to integrate or control these groups; and whether marginalisation or homogenisation will further divide believers from their culture.
