Ancient Chinese Revealedby Sun-Tzu, Gary GagliardiISBN 1929194196 (1-929194-19-6)
Hardcover, Clearbridge Publishing

› Find signed collectible books: 'Ancient Chinese Revealed'Book summary:Winner of the 2003 Independent Publishers Book Award for Best Multicultural Non-fiction. Recognized as the newest and most accurate translation of Sun Tzu's ancient classic with six significant improvements over other translation: 1) It uses the Taipei compilation of the main Chinese textual traditions instead of older fragmentary sources. 2) It individually translates each Chinese ideogram to let readers see the precise formulas in the original text. 3) It offers English sentences that clarify the central meaning of the text but chooses words to demonstrate the range of meaning in the original. 4) It preserves the original weight of ideas by creating one and only one line of English for each line of Chinese. 5) It duplicates the original format of the Chinese by grouping and numbering lines clearly to preserve the original contextual associations. 6) It assumes that Sun Tzu was rigorously consistent in his ideas. The imprecise word usage that creates contradictions in other versions are eliminated. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Ancient Mysteries'Book summary:There may be a wide gap between uncritical belief and hard-line skepticism, but that doesn't mean many writers have chosen to explore this territory. Now science writer Peter James and archaeologist Dr. Nick Thorpe have teamed up again to examine Ancient Mysteries, pledging allegiance to no theory or theorist, free to explore any explanation supported by the evidence. As often happens, they must finally throw up their hands in confusion, but getting there is half the fun.
Did King Arthur really exist? Who was Robin Hood? How did the enormous stone heads of Easter Island find their way to their resting places? Why did the Mayans disappear? These are some of the 37 big questions tackled by James and Thorpe in nearly 700 pages. A few of their selections may seem curious when compared to the puzzles that have gripped us for centuries, but overall their penetrating analyses of legend and archaeological data are fascinating and engagingly written. For those who can tolerate a bit of uncertainty in their reading, Ancient Mysteries will be a profoundly satisfying look into the fuzzy boundaries of our knowledge. --Rob Lightner [via]

Hardcover, Collins
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World'Book summary:Beyond the world we can quantify, classify, and analyze there is another, more mysterious world. In this book Arthur C Clarke, whose brilliant novels of prophecy and warning are read by millions, investigates this suprascienfific world. Under his direction, Simon Welfare and John Fairley traveled five continents interviewing witnesses of strange events and unexplained phenomena. They talked to men and women who had seen monsters from the depths of oceans and lakes and had watched "unidentified flying objects" cross the night sky in brilliant light; they talked to explorers and mountain people who had seen yeti, the abominable snowman, so long dismissed as fantasy, and his cousin "Bigfoot," who stalks our North American forests. More threatening events are also examined in the hope that we can glean evidence which may prevent future catastrophe. The fiery object from the sky which destroyed a vast area of the Siberian forests in 1908 could well have obliterated Paris, New York or London; when will we be visited again? Arthur C Clarke, the creator of the classic movie 2001, which looked back to man's origins and forward to interplanetary travel, would not wish, even if it were possible, to provide answers to all the questions posed in this book. We may never know who built the stone circles of Britain nor why; we can only guess at what star the three wise men followed to Bethlehem. But we may one day have living examples of animals believed long since to be extinct or never to have existed at all. As Arthur C Clarke writes: "The universe is such a strange and wonderful place that reality will always outreach the wildest imagination." [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Mars Mystery: The Secret Connection Between Earth and the Red Planet'Book summary:Mars holds a special fascination for us, because it is the most Earth-like planet we've yet encountered. As we continue to explore the red planet, geological evidence mounts that long ago water flowed freely across its surface, begging the question: If there was water, was there life? Graham Hancock thinks so. In fact, Hancock, a former journalist and the author of several books, including Fingerprints of the Gods, believes that certain formations on the Martian surface are the remnants of an ancient civilization--one strikingly similar to ancient Egypt--that was destroyed by a cataclysmic deep impact. Further, Hancock claims that NASA's reluctance to give credence to "The Face," "The Pyramids," and other things people see in images of the Martian surface is evidence that the U.S. space agency is motivated by cold war paranoia and mistrust. Hancock seems to be more fair-minded than many NASA critics, stating that, "what we see is a mindset, here, not a conspiracy." And indeed, one is hard-pressed to imagine why NASA isn't agreeing wholeheartedly with Hancock, since his ultimate point is that we should be paying more attention to our planetary neighbors and the skies above, lest we suffer the same fate as the Martians. Hancock raises many intriguing questions in this synthesis of unorthodox Mars theory, but those looking for applications of Ockham's razor had best search elsewhere--Hancock's theories require a leap of faith as surely as NASA's do. --Therese Littleton [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Plato: Republic'Book summary:A collection of unique portraits by British born, New York based, fashion photographer Platon, which includes over 120 photographs constituting a unique and dynamic cross-section through the cult of fame and power. Platon's subjects are all leaders in their field and include Al Pacino, Bill Clinton, Vivienne Westwood, Leonard Cohen and David Beckham. A collection of unique portraits by British born, New York based, fashion photographer Platon. Over 120 photographs have been selected from an enormous range of powerful images taken over the last decade and together they constitute a unique and dynamic cross-section through the cult of fame and power. Platon's Republic is a window into today's media-led culture that bombards, and sometimes overwhelms, us with images of world-wide importance juxtaposed with frivolity. Platon's Republic replicates the same intense and sometimes surreal experience with portraits of Al Pacino, Bill Clinton, Vivienne Westwood, Leonard Cohen as well as more documentary photographs of Jesse Jackson and Bianca Jagger demonstrating against the death penalty and football supporters. Granted extraordinary access to some of the west's most powerful people, Platon's subjects are all leaders in their field. Whether they are from the TV industry, politicians, actors, fashion designers, writers or musicians, they all wield enormous influence within their arena. Platons' portraits are graphic and intimate, but the unusual angles and revealing expressions are his hallmark. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Republic'Book summary:[via]Republic, by Plato, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics:One of the greatest works of philosophy, political theory, and literature ever produced, Platos Republic has shaped Western thought for thousands of years, and remains as relevant today as when it was written during the fourth century B.C.
Republic begins by posing a central question: "What is justice, and why should we be just, especially when the wicked often seem happier and more successful?" For Plato, the answer lies with the ways people, groups, and institutions organize and behave. A brilliant inquiry into the problems of constructing the perfect state, and the roles education, the arts, family, and religion should play in our lives, Republic employs picturesque settings, sharply outlined characters, and conversational dialogue to drive home the philosophers often provocative arguments.
It has been said that the entire history of Western philosophy consists of nothing more than "a series of footnotes to Plato." Vastly entertaining, occasionally shocking, and always stimulating, Republic continues to enrich and expand the outlook of all who read it.Elizabeth Watson Scharffenberger holds degrees from the University of Chicago and Columbia University. A specialist in the culture and literature of Athens during the fifth and fourth centuries B.C., she teaches at Columbia University and New York Universitys Gallatin School.

"Besides the enduring value of the Republic as a work of art, its philosophical and ethical teaching is of particular interest in the present disordered condition of social and speculative ideas.

This new, lucid translation of Platos greatest dialogue is the first major translation in English since the publication of F. M. Cornfords and G. M. A. Grubes renditions more than a generation ago. It is likely to be the standard translation for years to come.
This edition, intended for the student and general reader, is accompanied by Allens notes and introduction. The Republic is, of course, many things: metaphysics and epistemology, moral psychology and ethics, educational theory and aesthetics, and poetry and eschatology. In his introduction, Allen takes up its threshold questionthe politicaland argues that its particular formulation by Plato had a direct and profound influence on the Founding Fathers and the development of American constitutional law.More editions of The Republic: Plato:

In The Sacred and the Profane, Mircea Eliade observes that while contemporary people believe their world is entirely profane, or secular, they still at times find themselves connected unconsciously to the memory of something sacred. It's this premise that both drives Eliade's exhaustive exploration of the sacredas it has manifested in space, time, nature and the cosmos, and life itselfand buttresses his expansive view of the human experience.

" Updated with 140 pages of new scientific evidence that solidifies the hypothesis that the KGB, CIA, and NASA attempted to suppress
" An awe-inspiring work of research that calls for a profound reappraisal of our role in the universe
" Over 10,000 copies sold in its first two months of release in Britain
Publication of The Sirius Mystery in 1976 set the world abuzz with talk of an extraterrestrial origin to human civilization and triggered a 15-year persecution campaign against Robert Temple by the KGB, CIA, NASA, and other government agencies. Undaunted, however, Temple is back, with 140 pages of new scientific evidence that makes his hypothesis more compelling than ever.
Many authors have speculated on the subject of extraterrestrial contact, but never before has such detailed evidence been presented. Temple applies his in-depth knowledge of ancient history, mythology, Pythagorean physics, chaos theory, and Greek, to a close examination of the measurements of the Great Pyramid of Giza, which was built to align directly with the star Sirius. He concludes that the alien civilization of Sirius and our own civilization are part of the same harmonic system, and are destined to function and resonate together. His findings warrant a profound reappraisal of our role in the universe. [via]

Die Ilias (altgriechisch 8»¹¬Â Iliás, vermutlich Troerin ), eines der ältesten schriftlich fixierten Werke Europas, schildert einen Abschnitt des troianischen Krieges. Das Epos umfasst 24 Bücher bzw. Gesänge, wie diese Abschnitte seit der Übersetzung durch Johann Heinrich Voß bezeichnet werden. Die Ilias beruht auf frühgeschichtlichen Mythen und Erzählungen und wird Homer zugeschrieben (zur Verfasserschaft, auch hinsichtlich der Odyssee, siehe Homerische Frage). Die Ilias-Darstellung der Olympischen Götter dürfte erheblich zur Entwicklung einer nationalen griechischen Religion beigetragen haben und prägt bis in die Gegenwart die europäische Kunst- und Geisteswissenschaft.
