This probing analysis examines the ideological and psychological elements involved in historical acts of denial. Major cases of dissent are discussed in terms of their base issues—Holocaust denial as an ethnic phenomenon, Stalinist denial by Marxist scholars as an ideological phenomenon, Japanese jingoistic denial since the 1960s as a cultural phenomenon—while the pathology of repudiation and self-deception are skillfully explored. Online conspiracy theories and other, more modern, ruses are also discussed.

Eric Hoffer Book Awards 2016 Honorable Mention for Legacy Fiction Warmones, hormones, and conscience compete for the souls of young pilots in the VietNam war. An air combat tale of whimsical intelligence and vivid realism. It's 1967 in DaNang, Vietnam, as new pilot Steve Mylder reports for duty to his fighter squadron and meets fellow pilot Avery Aughton. Avery is cocky, unbearably patriotic, and outrageously successful with women--everything Steve is not! Yet they become friends as they drink together at the DOOM Club bar and learn the ropes of air combat. As they dogfight in the air, their mutual friend Sub-Lieutenant Sam the Collie--who thinks he's a fighter pilot too--parallels their war by dogfighting on the ground against his rival Charlie, a junkyard mutt. Steve, unenthusiastic about the war, fights for his life in the skies over North Vietnam but battles for his soul against the Red Baron of his nightmares. Avery--master of the art of combat seduction--achieves a measure of humility as he thunders fifty feet over a North Vietnamese beach, looks down and locks eyes with an improbable bikini-clad woman ... and falls into hopeless love. Both pilots seem on-track to survive their tours of duty when Avery is shot down and Steve has to face himself--balancing imagination against reality--in the aftermath of a rescue attempt. In Counters, former air force pilot Tony Taylor weaves whimsical humor and authentic details of air combat into a brooding yet fanciful tapestry, illuminating the hormones and warmones that impel young men to war and stupidity.

Druids, long the source of myth and mystery, were not lost in the mists of time. Once central to ancient Celtic culture, the spirits of the Druids periodically return to inspire new generations to find solutions for the spiritual needs of new eras. The Book of Keltria tells the story of a modern branch of Druidism that has evolved to be relevant in the 21st century. Decades of oral and written lessons developed by the key individuals who shaped the Henge, are consolidated into book form for the first time. Derived from material once found only in its correspondence course and workshops, The Book of Keltria includes information on Druid history, Keltrian Druid theology, invocation techniques, and ritualcraft. Also included are chapters on meditation, use of divination, magick, and the history of the Henge. All are presented with the goal of assisting readers in their spiritual evolution through honoring the Ancestors, revering the Spirits of Nature and celebrating the Gods and Goddesses of the ancient Celts. "A feast of information for anyone interested in Druidry. The Book of Keltria provides a fascinating account of how the Keltrian path has developed, and of the ways in which Druidism is able to respond to the spiritual needs of growing numbers of seekers." - Philip Carr-Gomm

Eric Hoffer Book Awards 2016 First Place for Commercial Fiction Visionary and satiric. Two astronomers discover an asteroid: Death is possible--will it hit? Strong doses of romance, science, religion and sex . . . with some ballet thrown in for good measure. From IndieReader Reviews: Two astronomers discover an asteroid on a potential collision course with Earth. Harris Mitchel and Diana Muse are old friends and scientific rivals, but when they jointly discover a new asteroid, which they name Baby, their lives are upended for good. Harris's wife Jennifer is growing increasingly frustrated with his dedication to work over marriage. A fundamentalist minister with money troubles hopes to boost his ministry by taking public exception to Mitchel's advocacy of science as a new frontier and a new inspiration - and a conservative radio personality is stoking the fight for his audience's amusement. A New Age community views Mitchel as a new prophet. But the stakes are higher than any of them realize, since Baby appears to be on a collision course with Earth. Can Harris and Diana manage to save the world as well as their own personal lives? The Darkest Side of Saturn manages to play with the religion-science divide in a truly thought-provoking and entertaining fashion. Mitchel's inspired and dramatic view of science and discovery as the meaning and purpose of human existence is shown not only from his perspective, but refracted through the viewpoints of others, whether Diana's intelligent pragmatism, the cynical what's-in-it-for-me attitude of politicians and administrators, the angry fundamentalist reaction of the Rev.Farnsworth, or the mystical, but somewhat scatterbrained, devotion of his New Age true believers. The writing is both poetically lyrical and driven, full of energy and force, especially when the topic is either science or sex. Rapier-sharp verbal fencing and a snarky, witty sense of humor brighten the book. The romance is feisty, vigorous, and sensual, with electricity vividly present from the beginning of the novel. The ending offers a fascinating perspective on the whole, combining both scientific awe and mystical philosophy in a new and intriguing way. The Darkest Side of Saturn is a mischievous, playful, and intelligent look at human consciousness, science, religion, inspiration and truth. "A courageous and visionary work ... an instant classic." -BlueInk Reviews.

At age eighty, Tony Taylor journeys from Sydney, Australia, to British Columbia to fish the Cowichan River with his eight-year-old grandson, Ned. The trip is an opportunity for Tony to return to a landscape that has had a profound effect on his life and his way of thinking, and to share this place with his grandson. As Tony teaches Ned the patient art of fly-fishing, a lifetime of memories, thoughts, and stories unspool in peaceful reflections by the water's edge. Fishing the River of Time is an elegant meditation on nature, life, and family, written with warmth and wisdom. It inspires self-reflection and an appreciation of the natural world and the fundamentals of our human experience. It is destined to become a classic work of simple living in the mold of Henry David Thoreau's Walden.
