The original The Road Less Travelledspent more than ten years on the bestseller lists and is one of the biggest-selling self-help books of all time. In this wonderfully wise and accessible sequel M. Scott Peck delves more deeply into the issues that confront and challenge all of us in the modern world: blame and forgiveness; sexuality and spirituality; death and the meaning of life; families and relationships; accepting responsibility and growing up. Writing throughout with insight and sensitivity, he draws on his own extensive experience -- both professional and personal -- to challenge false assumptions, suggest a way forward and demonstrate that personal change is always possible, no matter how difficult and complex the journey.
This vibrant memoir features the life story of Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, focusing on Mitchell’s amazing journey to the Moon in 1971 and highlighting the many steps he took to get there. The former astronaut recounts his childhood as a farm boy in New Mexico; flying solo as a teen; living in Roswell during the alleged UFO crash; studying at Carnegie Mellon and MIT; his experiences as a navy combat pilot and finally a NASA astronaut. In suspenseful prose he details his historic flight to the Moon with Alan Shepard and Stu Roosa, describing everything from the practical—eating, sleeping, and going to the bathroom in space—to the metaphysical, such as the life-changing sense of connectedness to the universe that he felt during his return to Earth. Resources include lists of websites about space, museums and organizations, films and videos, and books for further reading. Edgar Mitchell was the Lunar Module Pilot for the Apollo 14 mission and the sixth man to walk on the Moon. He is the author of The Way of the Explorer, Paradigm Shift, and The Space Less Traveled; the recipient of many medals and awards; the founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences. He lives in Lake Worth, Florida. Ellen Mahoney is an instructor in the Department of Journalism and Technical Communication at Metro State University of Denver. She lives in Boulder, Colorado. Dr. Brian Cox is a professor and Royal Society University Research Fellow at the University of Manchester School of Physics and Astronomy, Manchester, England.

Since man first began looking at the stars, he’s wondered about their origins and his own. Modern astronomers have explained the beginnings of the universe with the Big Bang Theory, in which all matter erupted from a single explosion billions of years ago. As the universe’s mysteries have deepened, astronomers have introduced an increasing number of concepts which defy understanding, such as an expanding and accelerating universe, galaxies at incredible distances, massive and unexplainable black holes, quasars and bazars with unbelievable distances and energy, dark matter and dark energy which supposedly comprise 96% of the universe but can’t be found, pulsars which defy logic, and many other phenomenon which stretch our imagination. Amateur astronomer Jerrold Thacker calls the Big Bang Theory and its accompanying scientific theories preposterous. Instead, he proposes an alternate explanation for what we observe, based not on the prevailing Doppler Effect and the concept that the universe’s galaxies are receding from our own with increasing velocity but on the “Tired Light” Effect, based on Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, which shows that gravitational fields in outer space slow light, causing a color shift in light produced by distant objects. This new and totally different view of the universe explores the “Tired Light” Effect on what we observe in the universe. The author dismisses much of what is currently espoused by the astronomical community. Instead, he points to Einstein’s predictions and their integral role in explaining every phenomenon hypothesized by modern astronomers, revealing the wonder of the cosmos without a big bang or expanding universe.
A young man barely starting out in life is faced with a choice. Marry the beguiling young widow he has just met in an Israeli kibbutz and become the father of her three children or return single to his empty life as a rabbinical student studying to be a Reform rabbi. Although doubting the existence of God, he believes that God is guiding him and he marries the young woman. Thus begins his trip down the road less traveled that will take him back to the States where he experiences the psychedelic 60s, back to Israel where he covers a very hot war while working for NBC television and on to Belize where he becomes a gentleman planter and developer of thousands of acres of bananas and citrus, only to return once again to the States where he confronts a decision that will change his life forever.
