Atheist Book Suggestions for Amazon Advertising

Post by TheVeganAtheist »

Im going to place some ads on the forum and main site for amazon books. This will help cover some of the costs that go into running the site/forum and video production.
Any atheist related books you would recommend?

Great idea.

Maybe some science books too?
And any good vegan cookbooks.
You can also link to DVDs (don't forget those). There are a lot of great series and boxed sets. Particularly the classic documentaries.

Make sure to ask people to buy them with your link.

The Unpersuadables: Adventures with the Enemies of Science
by Will Storr

I have the book, but my copy is titled The Heretics, not The Unpersudables. It seems they've decided to change the name of the book in later editions.

You should merge this and the other thread, and put them in the forum support section.

Also, beyond books and DVDs, Amazon also has things in general.

Links to good quality kitchen equipment would be great.
Blenders and food processors, stuff like that.

Also, food, vitamins, etc.

The more people can buy from these links to give you affiliate points, the better.

Cosmos by Carl Sagan is excellent

The Greatest show on Earth by Richard Dawkins, its about evolution and hes covered it pretty well. the only thing missing is a section on speciation genomics but that is perhaps for the advanced reader.

could you also try Science related books too?
Works by Oliver Sacks on neuroscience are good like the man who mistook his wife for a hat or an anthropologist on mars

I recently read through Peter Boghossian's book "A Manual for creating atheists". There are two AWESOME take aways from it, in my opinion. Firstly, a cleverly applied Socratic method works wonders with people who are closed and believe for the sake of believing. Having them formulate the conclusion is so much more effective than giving it to them for evaluation. Second, target faith as the problem, as opposed to religion. Religion has so much with it (tradition, social interactions, charities, etc) that it is an attack to a person's core. Targeting faith as an unreliable epistemology can help lead people away from it naturally.
