Endless Horizons Book 9 of the epic series The Lodging for the Rose - Large-Format Edition (Magazine style) The novel is fiction, though it addresses one of the great challenges that we face as human beings, to discover the trends that have a boundless potential, whereby we get away from pursuits that are self-terminating and collapse our world into chaos. The dividing line is explored through the threads of romance and love. Here, old limits are pushed aside as irrelevant and counterproductive, even limits imposed on love, sex, and romance. In universal love we find that we love not what we can gain from others, but what we can bring to the scene, which we embrace with joy as we find in their echo the universal humanity that we all share as human beings. It takes courage to accept those riches, but they become brighter, together with everything that is rooted in universal love. The novel presented here is Book 9 (Episode 6A) of the series of novels, The Lodging for the Rose, published by Cygni Communications Ltd. in North Vancouver, BC, Canada (www.ice-age-ahead-iaa.ca)

Fifty-nine brief descriptive summaries and 23 investigations from The Skeptic magazine give skeptical analyses of subjects as far-ranging as acupuncture, chiropractic, and Atlantis. The encyclopedia also gives for-and-against debates on topics such as evolutionary psychology and case studies on topics like police psychics and the medical intuitive Carolyn Myss. Finally, the volumes include five classic works in the history of science and pseudoscience, including the speech William Jennings Bryan never delivered in the Scopes trial, and the first scientific and skeptical investigation of a paranormal/spiritual phenomenon by Benjamin Franklin and Antoine Lavoisier.
