In fact, DeSalvo's composition is a phenomenon in a long line of extensive books about the Great Pyramid and related topics. Undoubtedly, you will enjoy reading The Compete Pyramid Sourcebook.
Dr. DeSalvo also provides some insight to the never before published work of Russian and Ukrainian researchers into pyramid effects. As Director of The Great Pyramid of Research Asociation, John DeSalvo has given the opportunity to many independant researchers to get some of their work in print and seen by many people--this is a wonderful service.
This book should be on everyone's bookshelf who is interested in the work of many great researchers into the Great Pyramid--right alongside Peter Tompkins.
It compiles much of what has been previously written in one easy to read source and once you start to read it, it will be hard to put down.
A new generation of young curious minds are being exposed via the Internet and television to the fact that there are unresolved problems with the traditionally skewed perspectives offered through the mainstream as regards the Great Pyramid. Because of this information blitz, young and old alike are beginning (again) to ask the important questions that our conventional history texts simply fail to address - but unlike the previous generation a mere 20 years removed, this time around we appear to be on the verge of getting some real answers. Dr. DeSalvo through his `Great Pyramid of Giza Research Association' (GPGRA) and its website gizapyramid.com has managed successfully to harvest a wealth of Pyramid knowledge (little known at best), that lurks behind the mainstream. In so doing he offers us many new perspectives - some of which are so confounding to orthodox Egyptology that to even place them on the mantle of accepted theories would collapse the shelf by its own weight.
Not since Peter Tompkins' "Secrets of the Great Pyramid" has a treatment this diverse on the subject of the Great Pyramid been so forthcoming. Dr. DeSalvo has managed over the years to attract a global array of talent from intelligent enthusiasts to electrical and mechanical engineers to academics and PhD's to bring to the world for the first time ever a collection of historical and contemporary essays that bring new and exciting discoveries to light. But don't expect this book to offer the spoon-fed (and I might add nephariously funded) "Fox" or even "PBS type" versions of ancient history. You will be exposed to REAL research by REAL researchers that have REAL questions about REAL anomalies and who aren't afraid to challenge the academic and indeed `political' communities. With a generous supply of pictures, and compelling narrative the good doctor takes us on a guided tour that you can't purchase from your local travel agent. Using this modern masterpiece as a launching board you can investigate the many books and articles by the respective authors from which the various essays were taken. The book is well referenced for the student to further delve into his or her particular area of study.
The collective brain power in this book is impressive and be assured there is something within it's nearly 500 pages for EVERYONE that has even a passing interest in the Great Pyramid, or just pyramids in general for that matter. So strap on your bullwhip, don your Indiana Jones hat and jacket and be prepared for adventure... but this ain't Hollywood.. it's the real deal baby!
Kudos' to Dr. DeSalvo for a book long overdue!
