Yesterday I discovered Barnes & Noble has just published a title on
their own 'imprint' called: "Perpetual Motion, The History Of An
Obsession" by Arthur W.J.G. Ord-Hume.
Anyone know anything about this?
It relates of perpetual motion history from the 1800's to the turn of
the century and has an entire chapter dedicated to Keely which as you
can well imagine dishes out the same old stories.
Barnes & Noble has been very involved of late in trashing the field of
new energy. Last year it published its own history of Nikola Tesla. It
has made a point on its website to post only "negative" reviews of new
energy books. And now this! Maybe they think they are providing some
kind of public service? Maybe they are trying to generate some
contreversy which is always good for business? I don't know. But the
fact remains the policy of the chain seems to have allied itself with
renouned skeptics and maybe it's high noon we called them up on it!
