One Noumenal Will

By: Shane Crees

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The poetic arrangement of one poet's engagement with the chaos and calm spiritual ennui that can arise from too close a contemplation of the worlds of inner and outer experience. Written from an often transcendentally ideal perspective, this collection offers a fresh and original take on many of the forms and vistas to be found in a rural, coastal town as well as the psyche in which they find themselves represented.

Wipe Out The Welsh

By: Shane Crees

Inspired by the existential moral seriousness of writers like Cioran, Kierkegaard and Nietzsche, the author of this collection of short essays attempts to address the spiritual and moral vacuity he sees characterising his and his kind's material and consumer-led modern day existence. The problem of postmodernism and Anglo-linguistic philosophy's omnipresent relativism is met with a cry of despair and often hearkens back to a mode of meaning derived from something like a Heideggerian 'care' or Schopenhauerian ontology of the Will. An air of frustration is unmistakable and, while the author does not talk down to the prospective reader, a call to something like a mainstream philosophy of meaning is made, to serve the man in the street, while the Academy and its universities receive some criticism.

Great Wits to Madness

By: Shane Crees

In this, his third collection of poetry, the author again addresses a multitude of topics grounded in the contrast and comparison between inner and outer experience. Written in a variety of styles, there is nonetheless a consistent voice in its various parts, including a long meditation addressed to the letters of the alphabet itself. A deep and often outrageous book of profound poetry located in the Modernist tradition.

Strings and Arrows - Songs in Search of Summer

By: Shane Crees

The author's fourth book of confessional poetry, recording a year awaiting and then receiving a long awaited friend, lover, muse and inspiration into an otherwise bleak year in recovery. Written from before he was aware of the Autumn's reuniting, these poems cover the build up, and the aftermath, nervously awaiting her return in late December. Heartfelt and beautiful; typically angst-ridden and in thrall to nature, this very personal book is nonetheless a beacon to love and hope on a forgotten coast.

Eschaton IV Sequence

Eschaton IV Sequence

By: Shane Crees

In this, the culmination of the four volume Eschaton sequences, the author returns to the origins of the original sequence and, shedding some of the earlier work's postmodern reductions, returns to a more structured and Modern layout of his preliminary fusion of ideas. Serving as perhaps a Philosophical Investigations to the first sequence's Tractatus, this installment is clearer in its understanding of the exchange between reader and author, and the magic and spilling of ink that goes into the descent of an act of reflection into a materialistic artefact, stream-of-conscious repository, or book.

Collected Poems 2006 - 2016

By: Shane Crees

The culmination of ten years study and poetic toil, these collected poems span an uncertain decade finding the author torn between a rural coastal nature and the spirit of Western cultural progress. It contains a manifold of voices united in a uniquely philosophical and poetic perspective, emanating and sometimes indeed hailing from the hinterland of a coastal town in Western Wales. As is the poets' way many musings reflect on values, romance and its relationship to chaos and the decline of youth into the flush of maturity. These are powerful and wide-ranging poems from the turn of the 21st century.

The Eschaton Sequence

By: Shane Crees

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Eschaton Sequence

By: Shane Crees

This unusual text, The Eschaton Sequence, represents a serious engagement with ideas of modern literary theory/philosophy. Written in an enigmatic aphoristic style there runs nonetheless a narrative describing the act of immersion of an author into the act of writing, raising questions about identity, agency, communication, perception, ritual and more. The format plays with the idea of intertexuality, read almost as a precursor to hyperlinks, and its range of reference to classic and popular culture is wide and rich. The text toys with the idea of death of the author as a form of virtual bloodletting or even suicide, exploring the idea of what remains as a form of archetype or psyche. In its reflections and engagement with postmodern authors this collection of maxims is perfect for browsing in hurried moments. There is plenty of wisdom dispensed on a variety of topics from death to terrorism to dance to sex. For inquiring and curious intellectual minds this is a potentially rewarding and entertaining book.

The Last Guardian

By: Shane Johnson

In 1975, the life of Cornell graduate student T.G. Shass is forever changed when he finds himself in possession of a mysterious and ancient artifact. Unable to remember how he acquired it and powerless to rid himself of it, T.G. is soon shaken not only by the object’s presence, but by a chilling encounter with evil and a jarring journey to another world. He was the most unlikely of all prophets. His was the most critical of all missions. Upon his return, T.G. discovers that Earth is no longer the home he knew. His sweetheart, Jenni, is missing, and all evidence indicates that she’s been caught up into the macabre, unnatural realm he’s just departed. His determination to find Jenni overrides the bitter aftertaste of his otherworldly experience, and T.G. seeks a way to go back. But his second journey holds far more than he imagines. Can T.G. fulfill his key role in God’s plan to defeat the forces of darkness? Or will his imperfect faith lead to destruction as the last days draw to a climactic end?

The Crowd in the Early Middle Ages

By: Shane Bobrycki

The Crowd in the Early Middle Ages

By: Shane Bobrycki

The importance of collective behavior in early medieval Europe By the fifth and sixth centuries, the bread and circuses and triumphal processions of the Roman Empire had given way to a quieter world. And yet, as Shane Bobrycki argues, the influence and importance of the crowd did not disappear in early medieval Europe. In The Crowd in the Early Middle Ages, Bobrycki shows that although demographic change may have dispersed the urban multitudes of Greco-Roman civilization, collective behavior retained its social importance even when crowds were scarce. Most historians have seen early medieval Europe as a world without crowds. In fact, Bobrycki argues, early medieval European sources are full of crowds—although perhaps not the sort historians have trained themselves to look for. Harvests, markets, festivals, religious rites, and political assemblies were among the gatherings used to regulate resources and demonstrate legitimacy. Indeed, the refusal to assemble and other forms of “slantwise” assembly became a weapon of the powerless. Bobrycki investigates what happened when demographic realities shifted, but culture, religion, and politics remained bound by the past. The history of crowds during the five hundred years between the age of circuses and the age of crusades, Bobrycki shows, tells an important story—one of systemic and scalar change in economic and social life and of reorganization in the world of ideas and norms.

The Great Mental Models, Volume 2

Physics, Chemistry, and Biology

By: Shane Parrish,Rhiannon Beaubien

From the New York Times bestselling author of Clear Thinking and Farnam Street founder, Shane Parrish. The second book in the timeless Great Mental Models series. Time and time again, great thinkers such as Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett have credited their success to mental models–representations of how something works that can scale onto other fields. Mastering a small number of mental models enables you to rapidly grasp new information, identify patterns others miss, and avoid the common mistakes that hold people back. Volume 2 of The Great Mental Models series provides a collection of over twenty important concepts from physics, chemistry, and biology in a clear and accessible style. Not only will you better understand the hidden forces that influence the world around you, you’ll also learn how those forces can work to your advantage. Some of the mental models covered in this book include: Leverage: When the application of a small force to one end results in a larger force at the other end. Inertia: An object (or organization) at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force. Activation Energy: The minimum amount of energy required to incite a chemical reaction. Ecosystems: A community of organisms that have complex relationships to each other. The Great Mental Models series demystifies once elusive concepts and illuminates rich knowledge that traditional education overlooks. This series is the most comprehensive and accessible guide on using mental models to better understand our world, solve problems, and gain an advantage.

Desperate for God's Presence

By: Bill Vincent

Desperate for God's Presence

By: Bill Vincent

Continuing in the tradition of his Dark Radical Poetics, this sequel to the eschaton sequence sees the author continue a journey begun and assumedly ended with the conclusion of that sequence. Having survived an existential, moral, creative and mental crisis, the author re-examines his position with respect to Schopenhauerian/Nietzschean philosophy. Post-structuralism and suicide, language, communique, self-harm and scarification, remain topics of calmer interest, as the author also attempts to come to terms with an interpretation of Being. Written according to a strict structural schema, in a studiously leaner aphoristic style, this more mature companion piece to the eschaton sequence has, as before, much to offer in the way of incidental wisdom and worldly insights and asides. A deep expressionistic rendering of the course of one man, one book or one locus of a being's thinking, this modest volume will surely entertain, pursuing clarity in beauty, and also intellectually stimulate the reader and edify.

The War for Spiritual Battles

By: Bill Vincent

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The War for Spiritual Battles

By: Bill Vincent

A further continuation of his self-styled Dark Radical Poetics, the author once again embarks on an expressionistic and aphoristic intellectual journey In the spirit of Ourobouros, and the closely wed concept of eschaton, the notion of time and death and their relation are always uppermost in his mind, as is the concept of beauty - not least lyrically - as a way of transcending that mortal coil. AS often previously the topics of drugs and the bohemian, often lonely lifestyle in a small college town are addressed honestly and reflectively; there is little in the world at this age in all its chaos that makes the author angry. Again it is the frailty of the heart that is given most consideration - a self-indulgent exercise so often passed over in today's interconnected lives. This is a book once again for moments of reflection, and hopefully the hearts and minds of the similarly afflicted will take consolation that they are far from alone and without hope as any out there.

Many Christians think of Jesus as the Savior whose resurrection promises fulfillment in a coming life. Others focus on Jesus' moral teachings and his commitment to social justice. Both views are rooted in scripture, and neither is wrong. However, each speak only part of the truth.
