I must recommend Neal Stephenson’s Baroque Trilogy Quicksilver, The Confusion and The System of the World! Wow!

If I could write like this I would feel truly blessed.

What a sweet way to learn history!

Thank you Mr Stephenson!

John Philip Cohane wrote a classic book The Key which unfortunately is not available on amazon but can be obtained as my link indicates.

This fascinating book shows how language can be used to unlock the riddle of our past, like DNA strands can unlock our genetic structure.

Well worth a read!

This wonderful novel lights up the Celtic World in great brilliance.

It is a great story and also great history. It is well researched and takes into account all the recent archaeology and also the current arguments, fights and debates in modern historical and archaeological academia. Very clever indeed! read the entry »

Stephen Oppenheimer’s new book The Origins of the British is packed full of interest for Celtic and English studies.

There is indeed ample evidence of Celtic writing, which is interesting because of the assertion that the Celts never wrote anything down. In fact it seems they wrote all the time and in many languages, for example, the many Tessera Hospitale and inscriptions located all over south west Europe, written in Celtiberian, Latin, Lepontic, Gaulish, Iberian, Lusitanian, Greek, Galatian and Noricum, Brythonic, Goidelic and with possible links to Basque. The Irish Lebor Gabála Érenn provides ample evidence of the survival of Celtic writing dating back to at least 2400 BCE. Funny how so little has survived! I wonder what happened to it all? read the entry »

With thanks to A Personal Decision by Alan V. Schmukler and to Some history of the treatment of epidemics with Homeopathy by Julian Winston, both published by Homeopathy for Everyone and many more articles on homeopathy and vaccination here:

From a A Personal Decision by Alan V. Schmukler: The question of whether to vaccinate is a personal and often difficult decision. One has to weigh the danger of the disease and the chance of contracting it, against the dangers of the vaccine.

Neither side in the debate can guarantee 100% protection. read the entry »
