Commander X

Abelard Productions Publishing, 1998

Unseen And Unencumbered

+ Great book!

On first hearing the title of this book by Commander X, "Invisibility and Levitation: How-To Keys To Personal Performance," one may think that there is not enough out there on the two subjects to warrant a book about them at all. One may then be surprised to learn, on actually reading "Invisibility ...

The Bronze Age Computer Disc3 reviews
Alan Butler

Foulsham, 1999

A fascinating and thought provoking read.

The Bronze Age Computer Disc impressed me greatly. As much as a detective story into the ancient past it is a rich and fascinating travelog of a little understood and fabulous ancient culture - the Minoans. The book shows how the mysterious symbols of the Phaistos Disc, found in Crete at the ...
  
  











  



  
Exploring Ancient Skies: An Encyclopedic Survey of Archaeoastronomy1 review
David H. Kelley, Eugene F. Milone

Springer, 2004

Explorers of ancient calendars and sacred geometry, take note

One of these days, if gas prices aren't too high, I hope to make a trip to Calgary to meet Kelley and Milone. William Sullivan (author of The Secret of the Incas) urged me to ante up for this terribly expensive book. It is phenomenal. The authors are teachers/researchers (Kelley an archaeologist ...

Erling Haagensen, Henry Lincoln

Weidenfeld Nicolson Illustrated, 2002

Dry and technical, but good and insightful

+ Astonishing Arresting Tale

The DaVinci Code spurred my interest in this subject, and seeing a book titled The Templars' Secret Island; how could I not pick it up? While this book does deliver what it promises, it makes you work the entire way. If you're expecting a mystical tale of an enchanted secret island, this isn't ...

Indian Love Poems (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets)1 review

Everyman's Library, 2005

Not much lost in translation!!

I picked up this book thinking it might be yet another trite attempt at translating "Indian" poetry. I bought it because I recognised some of the poetry(having read it in the original text). I expected literal translations, which strip away nuance, context, and therefore meaning. The first ...

Treasury of the World: Jeweled Arts of India in the Age of the Mughals1 review
Manuel Keene, Salam Kaoukji

Thames & Hudson, 2001

Treasury of the World

If you can't see this exhibit, this catalog is the next best thing. The photographs in this book glow almost as brilliantly as do the Mughal items in the exhibit at Houston's Museum of Fine Art. The only, more amazing exhibit that I've seen was at Topkapi Palace in Istanbul. Like at Topkapi, ...
