Sacred Symbol of Oneness by John Dee of London : An English translation of John Dee's 1564 Monas Hieroglyphica, which was written in Latin (9781501050602)

This English translation of John Dee's Monas Hieroglyphica is a companion piece to John Dee's original Latin, published by James Alan Egan. As some of John Dee's cryptic clues get "lost in translation," it's useful to study both versions. To simplify cross-referencing, this English translation mirrors the layout and design of the original Latin version. In other words, both this translation and the original have the "feel" of John Dee's original work except for a few minor differences. Dee's original, printed in Antwerp in 1564, had a "stapled binding" whereas this version has a "perfect binding" (with a spine). Also, the cover of the original Latin version the same thickness as the paper stock of its interior pages. Product details Format Paper...

Sex, Lies and Question Time : Why the successes and struggles of women in Australia's parliament matter to us all (9781743796399)

In Sex, Lies and Question Time, former MP Kate Ellis explores the good, the bad and the ugly of life as a woman in Australian politics. Seventy-seven years after the first woman entered Australian parliament, female politicians are still the minority. They cop scrutiny over their appearance, their sex lives, their parenting and their portfolios in a way few of their male colleagues do. It's time to call bullshit on the toxic Canberra culture. Alongside her own experiences from fifteen years in parliament, Kate Ellis reveals a frank and fascinating picture of women across Australian politics, including Julia Gillard, Julie Bishop, Linda Burney, Sussan Ley, Penny Wong, Sarah Hanson-Young and Pauline Hanson. Kate explores issues like sexism, motherhood, appearances, social media, the sisterhood and, of course, sex. But she also celebrates everything Australian female politicians have achieved. Wry, candid and provocative, Sex, Lies and Question Time is a powerful call to demand more o...

Outliers : The Story of Success (9780141043029)

Why are people successful? For centuries, humankind has grappled with this question, searching for the secret to accomplishing great things. In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an invigorating intellectual journey to show us what makes an extreme overachiever. He reveals that we pay far too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where successful people are from: their culture, their family, and their generation. Gladwell examines how the careers of Bill Gates and the performance of world-class football players are alike; what top fighter pilots and The Beatles have in common; why so many top lawyers are Jewish; why Asians are good at maths; and why it is correct to say that the mathematician who solved Fermat's Theorem is not a genius. Just as he did in Blink, Gladwell overturns many of our conventional notions and creates an entirely new model for seeing the world. Brilliant and entertaining, this is a landmark work that ...

Love and Respect in the Family : The Respect Parents Desire; The Love Children Need (9780849948206)

Children need love. Parents need respect. It is as simple and complex as that! When frustrated with an unresponsive child, a parent doesn't declare, "You don't love me." Instead the parent asserts, "You are being disrespectful right now." A parent needs to feel respected, especially during conflicts. When upset a child does not whine, "You don't respect me." Instead, a child pouts, "You don't love me." A child needs to feel loved, especially during disputes. But here's the rub: An unloved child (or teen) negatively reacts in a way that feels disrespectful to a parent. A disrespected parent negatively reacts in a way that feels unloving to the child. This dynamic gives birth to the FAMILY CRAZY CYCLE. So how is one to break out of this cycle? Best-selling author Emerson Eggerichs has studied the family dynamic for more than 30 years, having his Ph.D. in Child and Family Ecology. As a senior pastor for nearly two decades, Eg...

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (9780007204496)

The Killing of Uncle Sam : The Demise of the United States of America (1640070974)

Pride, greed, and power have driven men to do the unthinkable–including selling out their nations and unsuspected citizens to the most corrupt and destructive "invisible" global leaders on Earth.

The Teammates : A Portrait of a Friendship (0786888679)

To Vaccinate or not to Vaccinate : A Review of Scientific Literature on Vaccines (9798653663222)

In recent years, we hear more and more often that vaccines are safe and effective, that opponents of vaccination are dull and ignorant, that the amount of aluminum in one dose of a vaccine is less than a child gets from food, and that autism is in no way associated with vaccination. Let us see if these are truths, myths, or lies that cost you and your children's health, and sometimes even life. According to the analysis of publications conducted by the author of this book, there is not a single competent study proving vaccine safety; people that refuse to vaccinate are mostly well-educated and wealthy; a single dose of the hepatitis B vaccine alone, which is given on the first day of life, has five times more aluminum than the baby will receive from breast milk in six months, and the more saturated the immunization schedule in the country is, the higher the infant mortality.In this book, you will find information about scientific research, which the media and health authorities kee...

La sociedad de la transparencia (9788425432521)

Ningún otro lema domina hoy el discurso público tanto como la transparencia. Según Han, quien la refiere solamente a la corrupción y a la libertad de información, desconoce su envergadura. Esta se manifiesta cuando ha desaparecido la confianza y la sociedad apuesta por la vigilancia y el control. Se trata de una coacción sistémica, de un imperativo económico, no moral o biopolítico. Las cosas se hacen transparentes cuando se expresan en la dimensión del precio y se despojan de su singularidad. La sociedad de la transparencia es un infierno de lo igual. Google y las redes sociales, que se presentan como espacios de libertad, se han convertido en un gran panóptico, el centro penitenciario imaginado por Bentham en el siglo XVIII, donde el vigilante puede observar ocultamente a todos los prisioneros. El cliente transparente es el nuevo morador de este panóptico digital, donde no existe ninguna comunidad sino acumulaciones de Egos incapaces de una acción común, política, de un nosotros. Lo...

The Book of Smokeless Fire (0998708100)

The Book of Smokeless Fire By S. Ben Qayin "The work that is being presented in "The Book of Smokeless Fire" is based on a very little known and overlooked Solomonic text simply known as "Miscelaneo de Salomon," which amazingly mirrors that of Lovecraft's, "Necronomicon" both in content and history. It is an ancient and forbidden Arabian manuscript, that seems was later evolved into the Greek "Goetia" and gives the earliest known account of King Solomon and his binding of the seventy-two sinister Djinn he sealed away in the infamous brass container. In "The Book of Smokeless Fire," the ancient manuscript has now been reworked into a completely new system, utilizing revolutionary evocation technology, to again call upon the ancient and destructive Djinn, whose names have been concealed for centuries..." Author S. Ben Qayin has outdone himself with this stunning interpretation and cohesive reworking of a long lost magickal d...
