Edgar Cayce, nejslavnější americký prorok, jasnovidec a léčitel, se narodil v prosté rodině tabákových farmářů v Kentucky. Přestože dokončil pouze základní vzdělání, byl obdařen jasnozřivými schopnostmi a v transu hravě diagnostikoval onemocnění, se kterými si lékaři nevěděli rady, a pacientům doporučoval vysoce účinné léčebné postupy. Během svého života poskytl mimo jiné i fascinující informace o osudech Atlantidy, životě Ježíše Krista, reinkarnaci a astrologii. Předpověděl začátek druhé světové války i krach na newyorské burze v roce 1929 a hovořil o konci světa a druhém příchodu Krista. Jeho pomoc vyhledalo mnoho známých osobností, včetně prezidenta Woodrowa Wilsona, Thomase Edisona a Nikoly Tesly. Jeho výklady v neposlední řadě odhalují vesmírné zákony a souvislosti a učí všechny upřímné hledající, jak se navrátit zpět k Bohu. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Ďáblův slovník ekonomie a financí je kniha, kterou lze zařadit do dvou kategorií: kromě literatury faktu také do přihrádky humor. Kniha navazuje na původní Ďáblův slovník, který před více než sto lety publikoval známý cynik Ambrose Bierce a místy připomíná i známého C. Northcote Parkinsona a jeho zákony. Se suchým humorem vysvětluje základní i složitější termíny světa financí: od peněz, dluhů a daní přes akcie, fondy a banky až po manželství, lásku, luxusní zboží a sexuální pracovnice, neboť i tato témata vlastně patří do financí. Stranou nezůstávají ani témata politicko-ekonomická: byrokrati, milionářská daň, Evropská unie, obecné blaho. Cynické definice se mísí s výběrem kuriozit z reálného finančního světa a s řadou citátů. Terčem sarkasmu je ekonomie jako taková od Marxe po rakouskou školu (ačkoli k ní je slovník mnohem vlídnější). Odborníky i laiky pak zaujme vysvětlení, proč moderní ekonomie je tolik na štíru s předpovídáním téměř čehokoli.Slovníkový dodatek „Xenofobův stručný atlas světa“ rozšíří okruh vašich předsudků, pokud máte pocit, že trpíte jejich nedostatkem. Další abecedně řazený dodatek, „Panoptikum slavných osobností a jejich neslavných malérů“, vám poskytne příjemný pocit vědění, že i největší figury světových dějin se dopouštěly hloupých chyb, kterých se vy můžete díky slovníku snadno vyvarovat. Kniha v pevné vazbě je doprovázena četnými ilustracemi a je vhodná i jako dárek pro příznivce tohoto druhu humoru, dále pro pracovníky bank, pojišťoven, finanční poradce a pro centrální bankéře, kteří mají konečně šanci dozvědět se, proč měnová politika nefunguje.
