In America there exists a large population of people who lack an adequate education on drugs. The evidence for this conclusion lies in the government’s miss-classification of various drugs, people’s acceptance of prescription drugs, and the fact that the public education system actually spreads drug ignorance. For an introduction to the whole issue I would recommend reading Dr. Andrew Weil’s book, The Natural Mind: An Investigation of Drugs and the Higher Consciousness.
There exists a theory, called the Orion Correlation Theory, which claims that the Egyptians built the pyramids to mimic the asterism of Orion’s Belt. Thus, the Nile River would correspond to the Milky Way. This theory was first publish in a book, The Orion Mystery: Unlocking the Secrets of the Pyramids, by Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert. This work provides a new perspective on the importance of astronomy to the ancient Egyptians. Anyone who loves ancient mysteries should give this book a read.
Why Stock Markets Crash by Didier Sornette could be one of the most creative and unique scientific approaches to understanding the stock market I have read. The approach lies in complexity theory and involves identifying properties of critical self-organizing systems. I highly recommend this book for any reader interested in complexity theory, self-organization, and financial markets.
