At most times during the history of Western civilization, mere possession
of this book would have earned the reader a visit from the town magistrate
or the local Inquisitor; the publisher’s hands would have been cut off;
and the book itself, along with its author, would have been righteously
consigned to the flames! Crimes of Perception is an encyclopedic
collection of the ideas, persons, and practices that, over the centuries,
have been judged by the arbiters of religious orthodoxy to be too dangerous
for lay people to know about.

The go to reference point!
Reference books by nature are used to help you understand the subject they are written about. They are not exciting nor are they intended to be. All reference books have their usefulness and this book is certainly the go to book on the subject of religion and philosophy.

As an subject evolves into a specialized, sophisticated, or technical
field of study, so does the vocabulary required for those with an interest
in that particular discipline. "Lay people," whether novices, generalists,
or scholars of divergent backgrounds, may easily find themselves adrift
in a sea of unfamiliar terminology, without the tools of language necessary
to grasp not only subtleties and fine distinctions, but often key concepts
as well.

“Almost everyone agrees that more education for good character would be helpful. Benjamin Franklin made a great step with his famous book, Poor Richard’s Almanac, and now Carl H. Middleton is following in his footsteps.”

“Pachocinski’s collection is a truly fascinating
read either for the dilettante or for the specialist. Additionally, this
opus is most important in that it organizes, codifies and preserves the
culture of the oral tradition.
