Iris Lynne

If you like historically accurate depictions of various topics that might take you all over the world and through different periods of time, this book is for you. There is no intended relation between the subjects chosen other than that the author herself wondered about another explanation for what had actually occurred: a supernatural one. This is historical fiction with a supernatural twist, with the exception of the first story. The first story is dedicated to one of my older sisters, Iris Lynne, who always wanted me to write scary stories that would hold one’s attention when learning factual history, especially if one’s mind tended to wander off into the fictional areas of the supernatural. She loved my purely non-historical fictional story. The other stories, which move around the globe and through time to discuss such things as Cleopatra’s little sister, Harriet Tubman’s Underground Railroad, Balboa, Percy Shelley, President William Henry Harrison, and the Pendle Witches of England, should be fascinating!

No Name

The poetry collection No Name depicts the path of the heart, and the path of the mind, through the images of the Deer, and the Wolf. These two paths, along with the symbol animals that illustrate them, are very different at first sight. The mind divides, and the heart unites.

Through the eyes of the author, however, the Deer and the Wolf are both magical creatures, and equally dear to her. All symbols that are presented in the book live together and represent wholeness.

And although the author reveals the message that each of the two creatures wants the other dead, there is one subtle voice intertwined in the story that insists that both the Dear, and the Wolf should remain alive. You can hear this voice while embracing the journey yourself.

God’s Love

Growth, Modernity and the Nations of Wealth

Eric Humphrey and Dwight Semler present a new theory explaining the mysterious historical emergence of modern economic growth and its even more baffling offspring, modernity. Noticeable changes in material life began less than three centuries ago, but previous theoretical accounts have failed to explain their arrival. Thinkers assumed modern wealth and morality were the universal standard driving human history. They assumed modern rights and riches were natural and normal. In this way they thought of such things as ends rooted in human nature, rather than deriving them as consequences from a historical, nonmodern baseline. Misdirected, they set out to liberate the imprisoned modern homunculus who “caused modernity” through moral education and economic institutions. Modernity became an “awareness problem.” Yet this high-maintenance modern self and its ever-growing needs are a consequence of modern processes rather than their cause. Consequently, theorists of the modern world produced comically omnipotent notions of human agency. Marxists and developmental economists saw modernity as a moral or material self-realization project, requiring only a liberator or engineer. But when their God-of-Genesis model failed the facts, they overreacted and defaulted to its alter ego—humans were passive leaves in the wind of history. Modernity thus oscillates between a chosen destiny and a given fate. With modernity represented as a historical fate, all pretense of a grand theoretical view vanishes in thick description of one damn thing after another, and the historian’s rote chronology replaces any theoretical causality, as a specific description of a particular falling rock replaces a general theory of gravity.

Understanding the modern world and how it came to be, argue the authors, is less a matter of facts than of the foundational assumptions used to link facts together into robust and coherent theories. We must un-assume our modern selves and give poverty and illiberality their just historical due. With better and more scientifically consistent assumptions, they argue, the old facts of history can be seen in a new way. Then the solution to understanding the most puzzling and abnormal of human events, the modern world itself, turns out to be hiding in plain sight.
