Its refreshing that not every publisher is the same. There are some that service the needs of those looking for fresh thinking outside of consensus science monopolies. Its quite new and niche, so give them some support, or make contact if you have been thinking about publishing yourself. I'll give two examples of books they publish, each as a synopsis.
Founded by Neil Shuttlewood, a Bachelor of Environmental Science from the University of East Anglia, UK, Curtis Press distributes new ideas in science, new concepts that might surmount the scientific cul-de-sac that currently prevails in many fields of science.
Why publish with them?
Because they claim to build relationships with all of their authors and offer a publishing experience that is second to none. It would appear they offer one of the most generous publishing contracts, emphasizing the science, not the profit. They distribute their books and ebooks globally via a network of distributors and independent sellers and offer tailored publicity to projects they feel would benefit from such an undertaking.

The Nature of the Atom: An Introduction to the Structured Atom Model
by J. E. Kaal, J. A. Sorensen, A. Otte, and J. G. Emming
This body of work removes any motivation to worry about Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle and seriously undermines the need for the restrictions of quantum mechanics that lead to all sorts of counterintuitive errors … it is therefore paradigm shattering. This is the stuff from which Nobel Prizes ought to come. Professor D. Scott
This book is the result of an international research team pursuing the intuitive notion that the atomic nucleus should have structural properties. Starting with a few logical assumptions, they discovered that many properties of the atom and the nucleus can be explained rationally without resorting to quantum mechanics or the limiting dogmas about the nucleus that dominate current physics. Using feedback from known
experimental data, they identified several organizational principles that nature appears to use for constructing the elements, sometimes in unexpected ways. There are two assumptions underlying the Structured Atom Model (SAM). First, by replacing the neutron with a proton–electron pair, an electrostatic attractive force is reintroduced into the nucleus. The electrons acting as “glue” between the protons. Second, that “spherical dense packing” gives the nucleus its fractal shape—one of several organizational drivers in the buildup of the nucleus; other drivers being recurring substructures called “endings” and “nuclets .” A SAM nucleus is constructed using these substructures in various combinations. The result is a new periodic table that hints at several missing elements most of which are suspected to be unstable, but probably not all.
What emerges is nothing less than a new paradigm for thinking about the nucleus and physics. In SAM, several known nuclear phenomena follow directly from the structural configuration of the nucleus, including nuclear instability, radioactivity/radioactive decay, the asymmetrical breakup of fission products, and the various nuclear decay schemes. In addition, the team discovered an unrecognized store of energy that may very well be responsible for Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR).
Nonscience Returns
by Brian J. Ford
The original Nonscience dates from 1971, and it caused a
sensation. It was translated, featured on television, and
widely reviewed. To celebrate its fiftieth birthday it is
republished, with updates to show how its predictions came
true.
This extraordinary book reveals a world dominated by
Experts. For these all-powerful people, public image and
media exposure are all that matters. Scientists, eager to
discover the truth, have been superseded by Experts who
use confusing language to dominate us and lay claim to
colossal grants. Integrity and objectivity are gone;
opportunism and duplicity reign.
With the internet, there’s no need for schools–they’ve
become a state-funded baby-sitting service for working
parents. Why do youngsters go to university? Not to broaden
their minds, but to stay up all night, get drunk, and get laid. Going to uni is the most painless way of
leaving home, and teenagers then borrow huge sums of money to fund the university. A university
chief can earn five times as much as the Prime Minister.
Experts rule the banks and, when the system collapsed, government bailed them out so they could
pay themselves huge bonuses, as before. The cost was £850 for every person in the country.
Professor Ford’s idea was to hand it to the public, who’d have put it in the bank (so they would have
had their bail-out). It would have been a tremendous boost to the economy.
Experts study weird things, like a bird called Bugeranus, a fungus named Spongiforma squarepantsii,
a beetle called Agra cadabra and Pieza rhea, a fly. They are all real! There are articles like ‘Fifty Ways
to Love Your Lever’ and ‘Fantastic Yeasts and where to find Them’, and papers with multiple authors
(in 2015 Nature published one with 5,154 authors). Encyclopaedias copy facts from each other and
are dotted with mistakes. You will find biographies of Dag Henrik Esrum-Hellerup , and Lillian Virginia
Mountweazel–invented to fill the pages. Neither was real.
Plagiarism is rife. Reputable organisations like the Royal Society and Cambridge University are now
stealing published ideas and claiming them as their own. In some countries, one-third of research
has been copied from somebody else. We are surrounded by fake news. The Amazon is not the
‘lungs of the world’, it contributes no oxygen to the atmosphere. Our hysteria about plastic is
similarly misplaced. Experts prey on the public who are ignorant of what’s going on. The BBC
transmits ridiculous programmes about science, because it is acceptable to boast that you ‘can’t
understand maths’, or ‘don’t know physics’, though nobody would admit ‘I don’t know about
Shakespeare’ or ‘I’m ignorant of music’. So, when computerised planes crash or ships ram the
dockside because they are controlled by computers, it is the crew who get blamed. The real culprits
are the youngsters who wrote the computer code (but we hear nothing about them).
Experts say they use long words to aid communication, but Ford reveals that the terms are there to
keep outsiders at bay. Experts take decisions that kill people, yet are immune to blame—they say
‘lessons have been learned’ and they’re off the hook. If the media ask questions they reply ‘It wouldbe wrong to discuss individual cases’ and the questioning stops. Instantly.
British people say they don’t want American chicken, and wouldn’t eat chlorine-washed food. Yet
they do, every day. They approve of quiche, while avoiding a fried breakfast–even though the
ingredients are similar, and the quiche is more unhealthy. People follow those bake-off programmes,
though the fatty food they promote kills people. Ford says these shows should have a health
warning and is surprised we don’t have the ‘Great Tobacco Smoking Challenge’ or the ‘Blindfold
Railway-Crossing Elimination Game’.
This book should be read by everybody with a wish to understand the modern world. Huge
enterprises (like the Human Genome Project and the Large Hadron Collider) have conned us out of
billions of pounds, while smaller teams had better results at a fraction of the cost. It is time to call a
halt to this global confidence trick—and Nonscience Returns is the book that will guide us.
