History: Fiction or Science? (Chronology, No. 1)

Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

A great help!.......2007-09-14

A really great book, it finally brought some clarity to evidence. But be prepared to spend some time reading this book, as it has fairly in-depth coverage. Even so, I found it a very valuable study tool.

great book.......2007-09-03

This book is very helpful, especially because my professor recommended it. The explanations are clear and useful.

Eeeeeeeeeeehhhh, not so great.......2007-05-26

Don't waste your money on this book. You're better off reading the advisory committee notes in the FRE rulebook than this thing. It's cursory and the illustrations are ridiculous. Stick to the Finals books; they're more helpful for Evidence, I think.

VERY helpful for exam.......2007-04-28

You can't learn the entire course from this book, but it defintely helped me make sense of my notes and prepare for the final.

Barely OK.......2007-03-31

I am a big E&E fan and I would give 4 or 5 stars to most books in the series, but I'm not going to give this one more than 2 stars. The introductory text that precedes the examples is way too long. The chapter on examination of witnesses has 24 pages of text before giving a single example!!! Compare to most other E&E books, which have no more than 2-10 pages of introductory text before getting into the examples. Also, I am no law professor, but I found the presentation of topics a little confusing. The explanation of the hearsay rule is very different from the one that my prof gave in class (and the prof actually drafted some of the federal rules of evidence - I am assuming he is the one who's got it right!!). Finally most examples are really easy and not that useful except as a quick review. The best thing about this book is that it's pretty short and can be used to get an idea of the subject before moving on to a more complete study aid or casebook.
I have the 5th edition of the book - I hope the 6th (which I believe is just out) is better.

Book Description

The up-to-date, new edition of the classic reference

For over two decades, Evidence and Procedures for Boundary Location has been the cornerstone volume for surveying practitioners. In its Fourth Edition, this book upholds its superior presentation of boundary laws and evidence, and now introduces significantly revised content covering current laws, legal procedures and practices, courtroom responsibilities, use of GPS and GIS data, and waterway boundaries. This current edition prepares surveyors for the new legal, technical, and administrative aspects of surveying.

The first section of this book covers resurveys or retracements of former surveys based on land records. It deals with the methods used for locating corners, lines, and parcels of these surveys, while detailing all types of evidence, including maps and documents; measurements; monuments and trees; and digital data. The increasing importance of an area's history to surveyors is also a featured topic. The later chapters examine the creation of new parcels of land from a legal standpoint. This edition also includes an in-depth examination of:

Professional liability
How to report evidence and use it in court
Court conduct, both as a defendant and as an expert witness
The origins of boundary evidence

Whether used in conjunction with Brown's Boundary Control and Legal Principles, Fourth Edition, or on its own, Evidence and Procedures for Boundary Location, Fourth Edition, continues to stand as the fundamental reference for licensed practicing surveyors, lawyers, property owners, civil engineers, and students in surveying courses in two- and four-year programs. Its practical applications have also made it a widely used study guide for land surveyor examinations.

Download Description

The extensively revised edition of this staple reference has been brought completely up to date with current laws, procedures, and practices in the field. This volume retains the crucial mix of hard technology and court conduct guidance that have made this resource invaluable over the course of numerous editions.

This book has some great information if you're studying to be a surveyor, bu the price is so friggin ridiculous I simply cannot recommend it. Unless your class reads from it weekly or you have exercises directly from the text - skip it.

A classic text badly in need of editing........1998-07-21

First & second editions of this text have long been considered standards in the land surveying profession, but I was disappointed with this (the 3rd) edition. The material is all there, but badly in need of a careful editor. Errors in punctuation and typography were frequent enough to be a real distraction. I found myself pencilling corrections in the margins as I read! For instance, long quotations, not set with a change of fonts, or even quotation marks, made for difficult interpretation. I had the distinct impression that certain chapters were revised in a hurry, and that perhaps each author thought the other was checking the work. In at least one chapter, it appeared that two different authors took a stab at addressing a single subject and both were included in the book although in DRAFT form! The authors also need to update discussions of measurement methodologies to include electronic total stations, data collectors and GPS. Though I'm not a real big adv! ocate of gender-neutral writing, the next edition should totally expunge the term "title men", which must appear 15 times.

Book Description

Expert witnesses have traditionally faced enormous challenges in the courtroom. The Daubert decision and the more recent Kumho ruling have further intensified the scrutiny on professionals in all disciplines expressing their expert opinions. Effective Expert Witnessing, Fourth Edition broadens the scope of previous editions by featuring case studies and examples from a wide range of disciplines including psychology, medicine, forensics, toxicology, engineering, and environmental science. It presents legal survival strategies needed by expert witnesses in all fields by addressing the impact of the recent rulings regarding expert testimony. The fundamentals of the litigation process are thoroughly presented, with chapters on the pre-trial process, trial preparation, and the courtroom drama.

Forensic Nurse The Vital New Link Between Medicine and Criminal Investigation Serita Stevens R.N., B.S.M., M.A., C.L.N.C. With the Assistance of Members of the International Association of Forensic Nurses A forensic nurse offers an intriguing inside look at her profession, from gathering evidence to solving crimes nurse is often the first person to see the victims of an accident, an assault, or a suicide. Forensic evidence is often crucial, and it is the forensic nurse who is trained and experienced in providing that. Beginning with a history of what forensics is and how nurs-ing interlocks with the needs of the legal community, Forensic Nurse explores the precise workings of a forensic investi-gation-how a medical examiner's office operates, what wounds and patterns tell us, how evidence should be taken and preserved to best make use of it, and the role of the forensic nurse in the court system. Case studies in every section show how proper evidence collection by the forensic nurse can either declare the accused innocent or prove his guilt. Forensic Nurse will fascinate readers with an interest in true crime and in the workings of criminal investigation, as well as those interested in medicine.

Disjointed and poorly written.......2007-08-14

As an individual who has an intense interest in both forensics and nursing, I was very excited when I stumbled across this book. Unfortunately, I was disappointed to discover the anecdotes pieced together so randomly that the book had no logical flow. I'm honestly shocked that this text made it to press with how poorly written it is; there was clearly no editor. Overall, I would recommend looking elsewhere for information. This book is a dud.

"Forensic" Book Review.......2006-01-30

Oh my.....this book is badly written and poorly edited! I am a nurse, and I was looking forward to reading a book about an area in which I am interested and knowledgeable. What a disappointment! While there are a few snippets of worthwhile information, in general this book is sorely redundant, carelessly worded, and written on the level of the Cherry Ames, RN childrens' novels the author claims she is helping to re-write/re-issue. Ms. Stevens, a nurse herself, needs to stick to writing mysteries and romance novels, or whatever it is she writes. This book is professionally embarrassing!

A 3 hour infomercial !!!.......2005-12-27

I was drawn to this book due to my interest in forensics and criminal investigation. While I have to say that this book presents a rarely seen step in the investagation, and the role of the nurse in the investigation. The pro's of this book is greatly out weighted by the cons.

The book is orgainzed into introduction, sexual assult, child abuse, domestic violence, etc.

The Author begins by introducing forensic nursing, how forensic nurses differ from normal nurses, what they do, their training, etc. While this is all well and good, the text qiuckly degenerates into a repetitious and tiresome rant on the difficulty of gaining training, the lack of compensation, and the inacceptance and degrading treatment by doctors of forensic nurses. Indeed, this book, seems to be more written as a rebuttle to the aforementioned doctors than a delination of forensic nursing for the lay reader.

This book relies heavily on vague annecdotes, and repetition.
After the introduction the book degenerats into a formulaeic series of anecdotes, with identical format:

Mary/ Jane/ Sarah (insert female name here) is a nurse at a nameless hospitial. She has endured extreme hardship and inacceptance in gaining training. One day she sees a patient Mr.S and with her unique experiences and training is immediately able to identify signs of sexual/ domestic/ child/ elder/ abuse. She endures the belittlement and inacceptance of incompetant doctors, and skeptical law enforcement members, and prevails by solving the case.

Each anecdote is pretty much as vague as outlined here, in rare occasions, anecdotes will have some recounted dialogue. Each chapter can encompass up to a dozen or more of such vague anecdotes. Giving the impression that the book reads like a 3 hour informercial. (Theyre good for elder abuse too!)

Through out all these anecdotes, I found it dificult to find the point of the book. The book is repetitous in pointing out the inacceptance faced by nurses from doctors. And the portrayl of doctors and nurses in this book is consistant with the author's views. The nurses are portrayed as intellegent super sleuths, detectives behimd the bedpan, that deftly deflect the defendent's questions with a smile, sharped eyed, angels of mercy and compassion. The doctors however, are portrayed as conservative, inaccepting bumbling fools that make mistakes in court, that pass off rape as S&M.

Almost nothing is mentioned of the role of doctors and law enforcement on solving cases.

The book it's self is also scant on details that would help a lay reader better understand the work involved. For example, the forensic nurses's innovative use of the Coloposcope in evidence collection is repeatedly stressed (Of course, so is the doctor's opposition). However, the she never cover the central question: What is the coloposcope? It takes pictures, yes. But what does it do, what are the limitations? How is it used? We dont know! But we do know that it is the secret weapon of the forensic nurse, strongly opposed by doctors, a device that never fails to solve the case.

As such, I feel that this book could have been much more informative that it was. It is a rather onesided, poorly written farce.

Great.......2004-12-09

I really enjoyed reading the book and kept reading and reading. I think that I want to be a nurse for my second career. I am certainly going to inquire into forensic nursing. I think it is fabulous that there are so many different aspects to it and I want to tell our hospital people to use them!

Norm Alsaline.......2004-11-19

I found this book to be very poorly written. The book reads as if the author has overheard conversations (or lectures) and started writing about them in the third person, then switches to first person, making it sound like she has had all these experiences. If you are interested in forensic nursing please look for a more accurate source of information. Join the International Association of Forenic Nurses and get involved! Attend a conference and get the information from the lecturers. Talk to the PRACTICING Forensic Nurses and get the true stories as they really happened. This book is a farce.

The first edition of Statistics and the Evaluation of Evidence for Forensic Scientists established itself as a highly regarded authority on this area. Fully revised and updated, the second edition provides significant new material on areas of current interest including:

Glass Interpretation
Fibres Interpretation
Bayes’ Nets

The title presents comprehensive coverage of the statistical evaluation of forensic evidence. It is written with the assumption of a modest mathematical background and is illustrated throughout with up-to-date examples from a forensic science background.

The clarity of exposition makes this book ideal for all forensic scientists, lawyers and other professionals in related fields interested in the quantitative assessment and evaluation of evidence.

'There can be no doubt that the appreciation of some evidence in a court of law has been greatly enhanced by the sound use of statistical ideas and one can be confident that the next decade will see further developments, during which time this book will admirably serve those who have cause to use statistics in forensic science.'
