okay, i was reading thru some old BotD articles i had saved and i read Shadows "universal knowlage" article, i was so moved that i have decided to, instead of his idea of a website, write a book on, you guessed it, universal knowlage (i expect it to be more of a book on why we need to learn, and then refering them to shadows website, but i also hope to make series of sequals including physics, chemistry, math, algebra (there is a difference), the arts, spirituality, polotics, religion, nature, philosophy, history, music, and every other concivable thing that comes to mind, in a "for dummies" fashion).
i was hoping that you all might have some suggestions on where i can get such a series published, where i can find that kind of information, (i know Xu Quan could unleash a shitload of physics on me), and how else i might get such knowlage to the world (besides giving seminars, speeches, and hte like, i already have these planned.... sort of).


thanks in advance!

Any book that has "... For Dummies" or "... Demystified" or "... for the Utterly Confused"

Might help you.

These are what you are looking for:

Calculus for Dummies
Calculus Demystified
Calculus for the Utterly Confused
Statistics for the Utterly Confused
Physics Demystified
Algebra and Trigonometry Demystified
Chemistry for Dummies
Advanced Physics Demystified
Quantum Mechanics Demystified
General Relativity Demystified
Electronics Demystified


etc.

You are often destructive, but always beautiful. You are among the most fascinating of elements, you always keep everyone on their toes. Others find you entertaining and intimidating.

I would say the book would have to be a series if you are really serious about it. Because one book...would be extraordinarily large...unless you want to write about the importance of universal knowledge...I haven't even read that article since I wrote it as an angry 15 year old...lol...it probably sucksm I'll have to re-read it an feel bad about it laugh.gif

lol


yeah, i have kind of redirected that goal into just what you said, instead of trying to invent a universal database, i will simply write a book (i am looking into being an author) about how we need to be more... smart? you get the point.

i am still thinking about doing some universal database, but not on the scale i expected too, rather, more of a basics thing, as in "the basics of chemistry" would explain the atomic theory, the elements, and the periodic table.
