  Books by Huston Smith
Smith reserves his harshest condemnation, however, for secular modernity, which has stemmed from the misreading of science -- the mistake of assuming that "absence of evidence" of a scientific nature is "evidence of absence." These mistakes have all but banished faith in transcendence and the Divine from mainstream culture and pushed it to the margins.
Smith combines historical insight, personal experience, and an understanding of the cognitive sciences to produce the only comprehensive book written for the general public on the mysterious relation among entheogens, consciousness, and faith.
Novak and Smith's collaboration is a fine contribution to the admittedly crowded corpus of introductions to Buddhism: the strokes are broad, the writing style engaging and the chapters short and accessible.

 Jetex.org: History - Hall of Fame: Phil Smith   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Phil Smith earns his position in the Jetex.org Hall of Fame through his eminently flyable series of kit designs, which introduced countless model aircraft enthusiasts to the potential of the new source of power.

His solution – and one that was adopted by almost all subsequent designers of Jetex scale craft – was to fit "the motor unobtrusively […] within a trough along the belly of the fuselage", using "designer's licence" to drop the fuselage contour "to hide the width and depth of the trough".
