<p>In 1971 Dr. Theodore Kaczynski rejected modern society and moved to a primitive cabin in the woods of Montana. There, he began building bombs, which he sent to professors and executives to express his disdain for modern society, and to work on his magnum opus, Industrial Society and Its Future, forever known to the world as the Unabomber Manifesto. Responsible for three deaths and more than twenty casualties over two decades, he was finally identifed and apprehended when his brother recognized his writing style while reading the 'Unabomber Manifesto.' The piece, written under the pseudonym FC (Freedom Club) was published in the New York Times after his promise to cease the bombing if a major publication printed it in its entirety.</p>

A translation of many of the forbidden books of the Bible banned by the Council of Nicene, including the Gospels of the Infancy of Jesus, translated and published by William Wake, Archbishop of Canterbury 1716-1737. Less than a century before, William Tyndale had been executed by the church for daring to translate the Bible into English. Wake believed that many, if not most, of these passages were historically accurate, even those showing the young Jesus in a less than sympathetic light. Some of the information contained herein may have been used as source material by proponents of the Da Vinci Code and other Templar-based legends. Well formatted and reset from earlier versions, with notes and references from the translator, this book is easy to read and makes a great addition to any library of the historical and non-canonical works of Christianity. From The Forbidden Books of the New Testament: The suppressed gospels and epistles of the original New Testament of Jesus the Christ and other portions of the ancient holy scriptures. Now extant, attributed to His apostles, and their disciples, and venerated by the primitive Christian churches during the first four centuries, but since, after violent disputations forbidden by the bishops of the Nicene Council, in the reign of the Emperor Constantine and omitted from the Catholics and Protestant editions of the New Testament, by its compilers translated from the original tongues, with historical references to their authenticity, by Archbishop Wake and other learned divines.

Herman Melville's novel about obsession and revenge. Seen through the eyes of Ishmael, a wandering sailor, the voyages of the whaling ship Pequod, commanded by the one-legged Captain Ahab. Ahab is not just seeking any whale, but the almost mythical Moby Dick, a white sperm whale, which, in an earlier encounter, had destroyed Ahab's ship and bitten off his leg. Ahab is bent on revenge.   Moby Dick or, The Whale is often considered one of the Great American Novels because of its extensive use of symbolism and metaphor to explore class and social status, good and evil, human nature and revenge, and through Ishmael, the meaning of life and Man's place in the universe. Ishmael often interrupts the narrative to embark on long soliloquies, issue stage directions to other characters as though on stage, and to explain in detail day to day life on a whaling vessel, sailing, and the nature and anatomy of whales.
