Like fingerprints, each person's handwriting is unique and may be
used as a means of identification. Expert document examiners have
long been used by courts to determine the authenticity of
signatures and other writing samples. But is there more that
handwriting can reveal about a person beyond individual
identification? Many claim that such analysis has been perfected in
the science of "graphology" and that personality traits and
accurate character readings can be deduced from a person's
penmenship. In this definitive study of graphology, Barry and Dale
Beyerstein provide a balanced evaluation of claims that
personality, aptitude, and psychological and physical health can be
determined through handwriting analysis. The contributors include
both practicing graphologists, who present their case and describe
their practices and methods, as well as critics from many fields,
who evaluate graphology in terms of brain research; assess its
accuracy through objective tests of validity; contrast graphology
with verifiable psychological assessment techniques; and review the
legality of using graphology in employee selection, psychological
diagnosis, and the criminal justice system. A major thrust of the
book is a consideration of why graphology seems so accurate to many
personnel managers when it has been unable to pass objective tests
of validity designed by experts in the psychology of individual
differences. In addition, a brief history of graphology is offered,
which traces its roots to the ancient practice of sympathetic
magic. Also presented is a philosophical discussion which compares
the practice and philosophical assumptions of graphology with the
scientific method. For critics andproponents alike, The Write Stuff
will serve as an invaluable reference work.

The New Thought movement of the turn of the twentieth century
combined Christian spirituality with paranormal power in an effort
to give practical expression to the forces of the universe. Or so
its proponents believed. One of the most influential thinkers of
this early New Age philosophy promises here, in this 1913 book, to
show the reader how to develop your personality and how to develop
a dominating influence through such exercises as: Projecting Nerve
Force Mental Radiation The Positive Aura The Magnetic Duel Magnetic
Self-Defence The Power of Controlling OthersThe roots of today s
groundswell for self-help, personal empowerment, and pop
spirituality can be explored in this one small, highly entertaining
book.Also available from Cosimo Classics: The Advanced Course in
Personal Magnetism, by Theron Q. Dumont.THERON Q. DUMONT is an
alias and pen name of American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON
(1862-1932), editor of the popular magazine New Thought from 1901
to 1905, and editor of the journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to
1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books under numerous
pseudonyms, including Yogi, some of which are likely still unknown
today.
The first graphology book written specifically for human
resources professionals, this volume is designed to help those
involved in the selection of new employees find out how handwriting
analysis can help them learn more about the people they plan to
hire and promote. As the author notes at the outset, handwriting
analysis is beginning to enjoy widespread acceptance in the U.S. as
a valuable adjunct to other pre-employment tests. Sackheim suggests
how managers can best work with a professional graphologist, shows
how to find a consultant with the proper credentials, and
demonstrates how to evaluate the various traits revealed by
handwriting analysis according to how they affect business
situations. Numerous case studies and hundreds of handwriting
samples are included to illustrate points made in the text.
Sackheim begins by placing graphology into historical
perspective, tracing its development from the time of Aristotle to
the present. Part I covers the process of graphology and moves from
a general discussion of handwriting through such specifics as
slant, rhythm, pressure, and size; spacing, writing speed, and
style; and straight lines, circle letters, and i-dots. The second
section presents case studies of sales people, managers,
presidents, and other jobs and demonstrates how handwriting
analysis can be an effective tool in evaluating candidates for
various types of positions. In the third section, Sackheim provides
the first complete survey of the graphology literature ever
published. Her review encompasses virtually every study written in
English since 1919 as well as over 50 articles in psychological
journals. The final chapter addresses the legal issues involved and
discusses discrimination laws and the right to privacy, U.S.
Supreme Court decisions, and Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission requirements. With the background provided here, human
resource professionals will be able to add handwriting analysis to
the tools they are already using for the selection and evaluation
of employment candidates throughout the organization.
The Magic Numbers of Dr. Matrix draws us into the intriguing and
fascinating world of numbers and number theory. "Numbers, you know,
have a mysterious life of their own. It would be naive," claims Dr.
Matrix, "to suppose that there is such a thing as a randomly
arranged group of symbols." Consider, for example, the decimal
expansion of pi. Long considered a random series, it is actually
rich with remarkable patterns. "Correctly interpreted," says Dr.
Matrix, "pi conveys the entire history of the human race." Dr.
Matrix uncovers patterns and signs that will astound you. As Dr.
Matrix demonstrates, we need only look to find clues all around us
in number and language "coincidences" that will unlock the
mysteries of the universe. In The Magic Numbers of Dr. Matrix,
Martin Gardner introduces us to this extraordinary man, Dr. Irving
Joshua Matrix. Believed by many to be the greatest numerologist who
ever lived, Dr. Matrix claims to be a reincarnation of Pythagoras.
He was, however, completely unknown to the scientific community
until Gardner wrote about him in Scientific American in 1960. That
first report and the subsequent ones that appeared with each new
encounter are collected here in their entirety. We follow Dr.
Matrix as he roams the world and assumes new identities and
discovers new manifestations of the power of numbers to explain and
predict and entertain. Always at his side is his beautiful Eurasian
daughter, Iva, who abets and protects her father in each new
adventure. As you delve into The Magic Numbers of Dr. Matrix, you
will master some significant combinatorial mathematics and number
theory. The many remarkable puzzles of Dr. Matrix are all clearly
answered in the back of the book, together with commentary and
references by Gardner to enlighten the uninitiated and entertain
the inquiring reader.
Astrology is the oldest of the occult sciences, and it has had an
unshakeable hold on the human mind for centuries. Universities,
such as Oxford and the Sorbonne, offer courses on it. In THE FATED
SKY Benson Bobrick gives us a fascinating history of the discipline
that Ralph Waldo Emerson called 'astronomy brought down to earth
and applied to the affairs of men.' Notable Greeks and Romans
fervently believed in astrology. St. Augustine condemned it, but
St. Thomas Aquinas thought astrology not incompatible with
Christian faith. Shakespeare accepted it, and when Edmund Halley
disparaged astrology, Isaac Newton said to him, 'I, sir, have
studied the subject, and you have not.' All the great Renaissance
astronomers believed in the influence of the stars and planets over
human affairs. In more recent times, Winston Churchill, Charles de
Gaulle and Ronald Reagan consulted astrologers. As Carl Jung
predicted, astrology is again a subject of serious study, and now
Benson Bobrick has written the first complete history of the
world's oldest subject.
