ASTRONOMY / GEOLOGY CATACLYSM! Cataclysm! presents a breakthrough
of enormous proportions--a new understanding of cosmic events in
Earth's recent geological past. Follow this multi-disciplinary,
scientific study as it examines the evidence of a great global
catastrophe that occurred only 11,500 years ago. Crustal shifting,
the tilting of Earth's axis, mass extinctions, upthrusted mountain
ranges, rising and shrinking land masses, and gigantic volcanic
eruptions and earthquakes--all indicate that a fateful
confrontation with a destructive cosmic visitor must have occurred.
The abundant geological, biological, and climatological evidence
from this dire event calls into question many geological theories
and will awaken our memories to our true--and not-so-distant--past.
"In not only the scholarship of paleontology but the paleontology
of scholarship, this is the sort of book which someday we will
realize to be--like the record of a great extinction--the marker at
the end of one era and the threshold of another. It is monumental
work, which no enlightened library of the coming paradigm shift
will be without." --Douglas Kenyon, Atlantis Rising magazine "Allan
and Delair do a brilliant job in revealing that researchers have
barely touched the tip of the iceberg of events that shook the
Earth around 9,577 B.C. . . . This book is an essential handbook to
our ancient past: a brave multi-disciplinary approach that should
be applauded." --Rand Flem-Ath, coauthor, When the Sky Fell D.S.
ALLAN, a Cambridge M.A., is a science historian specializing in
paleogeography, particularly in the Arctic regions. A science
teacher for many years, he is a skilled cartographer and has made a
special study ofevidence for climatic and landform change in recent
geological times. He lives in Basildon, Essex, England. J.B.
DELAIR, B.Sc., is an Oxford-based geologist with wide international
and commercial field experience. An anthropologist, he has a
special interest in animal and plant distribution and in tribal
traditions. He is the Museum Curator of Geology at University of
Southampton, England.
Superb general account.' Times Literary SupplementThe story of the
history of Western astrology begins with the philosophers of Greece
in the 5th century BC. To the magic and stargazing of Egypt the
Greeks added numerology, geometryand rational thought. The
philosophy of Plato and later of the Stoics made astrology
respectable, and by the time Ptolemy wrote his textbook the
Tetrabiblos, in the second century AD, the main lines of
astrological practice as it is known today had already been laid
down. In future centuries astrology shifted to Islam only to return
to the West in medieval times where it flourished until the shift
of ideas during the Renaissance.
Combining astrology, numerology, and pure psychic intuition, "The
Secret Language of Birthdays" is a wholly unique compilation that
reveals one's strengths, weaknesses, and major issues while
providing practical advice and spiritual guidance.
Many have suspected that your birthday affects your personality
and how you relate to others. Nineteen years and over one million
copies later, "The Secret Language of Birthdays "continues to
fascinate readers by describing the characteristics associated with
being born on a particular day. The 366 personality profiles are
based on astrology, numerology, the tarot, and Gary Goldschneider's
observations of more than 14,000 people. Your strengths,
weaknesses, and major concerns will be illuminated while you are
given practical advice and spiritual guidance. After you study your
profile, it will be hard to resist examining those of family,
friends, colleagues, and even celebrities.
This is an entertaining and informative guide to the subject of
astrology. It explains the workings of this most ancient and
fascinating art and explains how many of the supposed criticisms
often levelled against it are founded on mis-information and
ignorance. The first few chapters deal with the make-up of the
birth chart, the kinds of astrologer at large in the world today,
and what you can expect if you choose to have a proper consultation
done through a professional practitioner. The book then goes on to
list and to discuss the 12 most commonly presented criticisms of
astrology, with arguments and counter arguments presented in
detail, including scientific discussion. Later, there are chapters
dealing with astrology's place in the modern world and some
cautionary tales for astrologers themselves! Intelligence and
rationality are no barriers for anybody wishing to explore this
fascinating area of study, and here is a book designed to help us
do just that. On a lighter note, cartoons are sprinkled throughout
the book, making for a blend of serious scholarship and
light-hearted fun. It's a good read. Useful for the complete layman
and also for the professional. I hope you will enjoy it.
"As above, so below" is the foundation of all star wisdom. It was
known in ancient times that there are correspondences between the
macrocosm (heavenly realm) and the microcosm (human being) and the
Earth. Astrogeographia is a modern form of that ancient star
wisdom. According to the astronomer Johannes Kepler: There radiates
into the Earth soul an image of the sense-perceptible zodiac and
the whole firmament as a bond of sympathy between Heaven and
Earth.... This imprint into the Earth soul through the
sense-perceptible zodiac and the entire sphere of fixed stars is
also confirmed through observation. And Rudolf Steiner said in his
course on astronomy, "We can conceive of the active heavenly sphere
mirrored in the Earth." The authors of Astrogeographia set out to
determine the correspondences between the starry heavens and the
earthly globe-As above, so below. There are many books on the
sacredness and the spirituality of our Earth. Few books, however,
deal with the relationship between the Earth and the cosmos, which
is the central theme for the research presented in this book. Its
point of departure is the one-to-one correspondence between the
encircling starry heavens-the celestial sphere-and the sphere of
the earthly globe. David Bowden has not only worked out the
mathematics of this one-to-one correspondence, but has also written
a computer program that applies it in practice. Thus, a new science
has been born-Astrogeographia-concerning the one-to-one
correspondence between the earthly sphere and the celestial sphere.

Eliphas Levi, born Alphonse Louis Constant, (1810-75) was
instrumental in the revival of Western occultism in the nineteenth
century, and published several influential books on magic that are
also reissued in this series. This posthumous publication (1896) is
a translation by William Wynn Westcott, co-founder of the 'Hermetic
Order of the Golden Dawn', of an unpublished French manuscript by
Levi, then owned by the spiritualist Edward Maitland. It includes
eight of the author's drawings. Each short chapter outlines the
meaning of one of the twenty-two tarot trumps and is followed by a
brief editor's note describing the card's iconography and
summarising interpretations (sometimes deliberately misleading)
given in Levi's earlier publications. The book ends with
Kabbalistic prayers and rituals, praise of Jesus Christ as the
great initiate, and a surprising assertion that Christianity has
superseded ancient magic, revealing the life-long tension between
Catholicism and magic in Levi's personality and thought.
