By the early 1970s, Romain Gary had established himself as one of France’s most popular and prolific novelists, journalists, and memoirists. Feeling that he had been typecast as “Romain Gary,” however, he wrote his next novel under the pseudonym Émile Ajar. His second novel written as Ajar, Life Before Us, was an instant runaway success, winning the Prix Goncourt and becoming the best-selling French novel of the twentieth century. The Prix Goncourt made people all the keener to identify the real “Émile Ajar,” and stressed by the furor he had created, Gary fled to Geneva. There, Pseudo, a hoax confession and one of the most alarmingly effective mystifications in all literature, was written at high speed. Writing under double cover, Gary simulated schizophrenia and paranoid delusions while pretending to be Paul Pawlovitch confessing to being Émile Ajar—the author of books Gary himself had written. In Pseudo, brilliantly translated by David Bellos as Hocus Bogus, the struggle to assert and deny authorship is part of a wider protest against suffering and universal hypocrisy. Playing with novelistic categories and authorial voice, this work is a powerful testimony to the power of language—to express, to amuse, to deceive, and ultimately to speak difficult personal truths.

LIBER L. VEL BOGUS THE REAL CONFESSION OF ALEISTER CROWLEY ________________________________________ Love it or Loathe it If you have even one toe-tip dipped in planet-Crowley You MUST READ this book ""The issues aired in this publication are of immense significance to all with an interest in Edward Alexander Crowley, be this Magickal, mundane or monetary. If correct, they fall into the category of proper 'shit hits the fan' stuff! To my mind, it appears almost certain that there was no 'cross-examination' of Rose, no Boulak visit, no reception, no Aiwass, no Book of the Law, no lost manuscript and no Thelema. All were fantasies conjured from the mind of an obsessive psychopath, in furtherance of his grand delusion of 'I, Crowley, the Chosen One.'"" GET IT... BEFORE IT GETS YOU...

The Wisconsin River, Paul Seifert, Bogus Bluff, Richland City, and the ancient cultures that once thrived there, all have something in common: mystery. For 10,000 years humans have occupied the delta at the confluence of the Wisconsin and the Pine Rivers; inhabitants of distinctly different eras have left behind clues to their existence. The most recent—the Native American Indians—have given us a bounty of lore and legend. A mysterious letter in the hands of German emigrant Paul Seifert in the Nineteenth Century helps set the scene for another one of the river valley’s most puzzling secrets. It has been the foundation of a 35-year-long search for a cave believed to be an Indian burial site containing vast treasures of ancient times. Treasure hunter/Researcher Ron Nagel has teamed with authors Dan Bomkamp and J.L. Fredrick to tell the story as it has developed through the ages. Together they unravel some of the mystery surrounding this enchanted valley.

This book describes from a British point of view the development of how unproven theories present themselves as factual or scientific evidence.

In this work, Robert E. Brown applies the fruits of modern historical scholarship toward an understanding of Beard's groundbreaking and controversial work. With a perspective of forty years, Brown attempts to separate the valid from the bogus in this work.

This collection of essays by America's foremost polymath delves into some of the many fascinating subjects in which Martin Gardner has had an abiding interest. Focusing primarily on literary and philosophical subjects, Order and Surprise is the sequel to the widely acclaimed Science: Good, Bad and Bogus. Some of Gardner's best essays and reviews are included in this volume, such as:"Why Librarians Dislike Oz""The Strange Case of Robert Maynard Hutchins""H.G. Wells, 'Premature' Anti-Communist""Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four""Is Nature Ambidextrous?""Beyond Cultural Relativism""The Popperism of Sir Karl""Keeping Up With Einstein"In addition, Gardner has included many of his perceptive reviews of books by and about such authors as Franz Kafka, Thomas Wolfe, John Updike, Vance Packard, Colin Wilson, Lewis Carroll, and many others.In some cases the author has modified the original texts, sometimes restoring passages removed by editors, sometimes adding new footnotes to update the material. In many cases, Gardner has added a postscript that allows him to comment on an article or review. Like the previous anthology, this book is divided into two parts. The first contains articles in chronological order of publication; the second, book reviews in similar order.Order and Surprise represents Gardner at his best - incisive, witty, and urbane.

New in Spring 2018 comes a whole new edition of Boise Trail Guide, featuring 95 hiking and running trails in the greater Boise area greenbelt trails, mountain trails in the Boise Foothills, Bogus Basin trails, new routes in the Owyhee Canyonlands, sweet trails in the Boise National Forest near Idaho City, Garden Valley and Smiths Ferry, and full descriptions and maps for the Boise Grand Slam Peaks. Boise Trail Guide has such a rich diversity of trails that it will break you out of the mold of covering the same trails over and over again. That is what I have heard from people who loved the first edition. Now you can experience even more new trails close to home. The new edition includes a similar mix of trails, starting with 17 flat Greenbelt trails and 17 Easy Mountain Trails, and then building to more substantial routes with more challenge and vertical gain with 25 Moderate Mountain Trails and 29 Strenuous Mountain Trails. And then it is capped off with six, unforgettable Epic Mountain Trails that will test the best. The new edition spotlights newly built, popular trails such as the Around the Mountain Trail at Bogus Basin, Freddys Stack Rock Trail, Peggy's Trail, Highlands-Corrals-Bobs Loop, and the Watchman Loop. It also takes a peek into a few of my favorite trails in the Owyhees with the Oolite Interpretive Trail, the West Fork Shoofly Quick Loop, and the Wilson-Reynolds Loop, among others. In the Epic category, you will discover some really challenging routes in the Sawtooth Mountains, the Deadwood-Julie Creek Loop in the Boise National Forest, and Stuebys Death March in the Boise Foothills. Enjoy!

In a changing world, forecasts and numbers usually represent bogus quantification. Kay and King tell us how to think smarter.Radical uncertainty changes the way we should think about decision-making. For over half a century economics has assumed that people behave rationally by optimizing among well-defined choices. Behavioral economics questioned how far people are rational, pointing to the cognitive biases that seem to describe actual behavior.Radical Uncertainty is a bold, paradigm-shifting book that takes us past standard and behavioral economics, completely shifting our understanding of the role economics can play in decision-making. We can never have the information required to optimize. But the failure to come to terms with this reality has led us to build our largest financial organizations, develop major policy decisions, and create business structures on shifting sands―the false belief that the numbers provided by economic models give us the answer. They don’t. The best managers in the public and private sectors rely on narratives, not numbers.
