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.

Book Description

For the last decade, the author has been working to extend continuum mechanics to treat moving boundaries in materials focusing, in particular, on problems of metallurgy. This monograph presents a rational treatment of the notion of configurational forces; it is an effort to promote a new viewpoint. Included is a presentation of configurational forces within a classical context and a discussion of their use in areas as diverse as phase transitions and fracture. The work should be of interest to materials scientists, mechanicians, and mathematicians.

Fixing Broken Windows: Restoring Order And Reducing Crime In Our Communities

ASIN: 1594601461

Book Description

The second edition of Policing: Concepts, Strategies, and Current Issues in American Police Forces has been updated and revised to address the changes in policing that have occurred in the first decade of the twenty-first century. Issues such as homeland security, terrorism, and the expanded role of community policing have been addressed.

Policing provides an in-depth understanding of police work: its history, trends, and strategies of administration and management. Written by a former police officer, this book offers both a practical and a conceptual view of police work and introduces readers to issues missed in other competing books on policing, such as private security and the relevance of constitutional law to police work. The text also covers important topics such as police technology, multiculturalism, police management styles, the Americans with Disabilities Act, AIDS, and community policing (e.g., neighborhood watch programs and Crime Stoppers).

Each chapter begins with a point-by-point overview of the issues ad-dressed. Chapters also include lists of key terms, review questions, and references for further reading. The text is engaging, user-friendly, and very readable. An instructor's manual, a PowerPoint presentation, and a test bank will be available to instructors who adopt the book for classroom use.

Impressive and insightful overview of the American Police.......1999-04-26

Professor Michael J. Palmiotto has written a well balanced and insightful book on the American Police. Chapter one provides the reader with a succinct history of the American Police and the major policies that have shaped the current status quo of the policing profession. Upon laying the historical foundation, the author initiates an insightful overview of the various functions and levels of the American Police. This overview includes a description of law enforcement at all levels of government (city, county, state and federal). A chapter on prvate security informs the reader of the complex issues revolving around private security organizations. The issue of how private security interacts with the police and the law enforcement function is explored. Furthermore, the author does a nice job explaining the importance of private security from the standpoint of crime prevention in our everyday lives. The author embarks on an introduction of all aspects of policing. One of the more salient areas that is especially covered in energetic fashion is the chapter on police management and adminstration. This chapter sheds light on traditional management and administration strategies and concludes with a nice discussion on evolving approaches in the area of police management and administration including coverage of total quality management. The author provides a description of how new mangement approaches are being utilized and have proven effective in several American Police agencies. The chapter pertaining to the legal issues of policing provides a most informative overview on how constitutional considerations impact the everyday operations of the police. The author does an extrodinary job of outlining the major Supreme Court decisions and how these decisions apply to the standard operating procedures of police agencies (e.g., Miranda v. Arizona) which requires the police to read crime suspects their rights prior to interrogation. This chapter is written in a manner that the most neophyte reader of the law and policing can understand. Very practicle in orientation. The author provides coverage of the evolving technological trends and how the police are utilizing technology in fighting crime. The problems and hazards that the police face in their everyday jobs are presented thoroughly in chapter 12 (Current Issues in Policing). This chaper provides the reader with an overview of the stress that goes along with policing, the threat of blood borne pathogens and the myriad of other potentail hazards that the police cope with on a daily basis. The reader truly develops a sense of appreciation for the police after reading this chapter. The latest trends in police recruitment, selection, education and training are covered in the book. It will astonnish the reader to learn the process one goes through to wear the badge. From the careful screening and selection process through the grueling training academy. This chapter will introduce and deepen the readers understanding of police personnel issues and what the future holds for police recruitment, selection, education and training. The author especially provides excellent coverage of the issues revolving around college educated police officers. The advantages to college educated police are presented. The author does a nice job making the case for requiring college education for police. The latest trends and issues pertaning to the police role in criminal investigations and crime prevention are superbly introduced to the reader. Concepts such as how environmental issues play a role in crime are discussed. The concept of crime prevention through environmental design is introduced to the reader. This chapter will assuredly provoke the reader to think about crime prevention in a variety of differing ways. The concluding chapters pertain to police misconduct and accountability. These chapters are a nice compliment to an introductory policing book in-light-of the incidents of polcie brutality and other police misconduct throughout the 1990's. The author introduces the reader to the various recommendations that have been made through the years to curtail police misconduct and offers a variety of solutions. The process of what happens when a citizen files a complaint on a police officer is covered in the most informative manner. The severity and extent of internal discipline of police officers is covered and this will provide the reader with a conceptual understanding of the internal discipline process. Overall, the book provides a nice introduction for anyone who desires to learn more about the American Police past and present. It is written in a manner and style that the reader does not have to have a background in police practice or police studies. This seminal work should be read by anyone who desires to learn more about those who are sworn to protect and serve. It also serves as a nice introductory text for students of policing and as a supplemental text for the more advanced (graduate) student of policing. This book will truly engage the reader in the process of critical thinking about policing issues and trends.
