Title Preview of WORDS & NAMES A product of Factuality Research Library
This
preview of our best-selling, wholly new, non-fiction book 'Civic Encyclopaedia
of Surprising Origins of WORDS & NAMES - of Places, Peoples,
and Practices around the World with vivid insight into their meanings' (ISBN
9080245747), shows that the book is loaded with surprising insight. To
help readers cut through hidden errors in many common notions, our new encyclopaedia
distinguishes itself from all others, as the following quote indicates.
"A
jolt of reality shock went through me when I stumbled on the following authentic
facts and many more. That to bless is to curse. That original
Old English was Dutch. That Galileo did not invent the telescope. That Indo-Europeans
never existed. That symposium started from Greek male erotic-driven drinking
sessions. That the Russians were Swedes, the Scots were Irish,
and the Bavarians were Bohemians. That the real Yankees were Dutch. That the
English were from Belgium and the Finns were from Hungary. That
the Turks did not come from Turkey. That Persian farmers started economics more
than a millennium earlier, and Adam Smith is not the 'father
of economics'. That many so-called world heroes including Napoleon, Alexander
the Great, William the Conqueror, virgin queen Elizabeth I were bastards. That
Maria, the mother of Jesus, did not even know the name Jesus. That president
Bush's real surname was Bos. That the Chinese sailed to Africa,
America and around the world at least 70 years before Columbus 'discovered'
America. That Christmas, Easter, Sunday, Thursday, Tuesday and others came from
pagan celebrations, not Christianity. That the Red sea is really the Reed sea.
That the dollar came from Czechia. This encyclopaedia gives the
stories behind these and many more startling facts."
Apart
from its good appeal to wide circles of general readers, and its useful academic
potential in correcting some text-books, this book has revelations that interest
libraries, musea, tourist and travel advising bodies, embassies, schools and
universities, and certainly the makers of TV-documentaries on European and world
heritage. More than any other book, this one provides the reader with surprising
facts that correct many commonly held but wrong notions about many issues that
affect us all in this modern world. Unlike most other encyclopaedia which view
the world exclusively from the West-European, Anglo-Saxon perspective, this
one presents the hidden stories behind words in international usage based on
the peculiar history of different parts of the world. It relates much of the
uniqueness, origins and meanings of the names of many tribes and folks from
all continents. It enumerates more than 100 names of God from
various religions and cultures. It explains how Asia, Africa, Australia and
other continents, the oceans and many cities, rivers and mountains around the
world got their names. To facilitate understanding between different peoples,
it explains the meanings of common personal names from Africa, Europe and Asia,
for example. The true nature of many social institutions have been wrongly coloured
by biased history and unintended but misleading school teaching based on wrong
assumptions and misgivings. This encyclopaedia reveals the true origins of those
western traits and bluffing which have been wrongly projected as the most powerful,
most 'civilised' and 'advanced' cultures. By re-assessing the roots of many
common practices of today, it raises and enriches the social and political awareness
of the reader. And all that, in one single 800-page volume containing two parts
(Words part, and Names part), each of which would otherwise have been a separate
rare and expensive book in itself. This is a unique addition to any library
at home, school or city.
Depending
on what you are able to arrange with the Factual Reality Library where the underlying
research was prepared, this wholly new book can be a profitable pride of your
organisation. The lingual presentation is set to effectively reach the wider
general reading public. The academic level is set to be consistent with university
studies in the humanities including sociology, history and general knowledge.
You
may also want to be involved in bringing out a second edition of our other English
book 'Dutch Sense - the uncommon sense'
(ISBN 9080245763 & 9789080245761). Alternatively, you may want to
be involved in its translation to Dutch language. After the first publication
of this exciting 280-page 'Dutch Sense' (ISBN 9080245739)
was sold out two years ago, our additional research has extended it to this
420-page second edition, with surprising new revelations about Dutch roots,
their ways, their lost tribes, Dutch origins of the English language and of
American culture, and much more. Yet another wholly new exciting non-fiction
book 'Jolly Folly - modern wisdom or fashionable idiocy! Who's fooling who in
our sapient world?' (ISBN 90-802457-5-5)
is now being researched and developed. To
