This collection of original articles, a sequel of sorts to the 2009 Religion and the Implications of Radical Life Extension (Palgrave Macmillan), is the first sustained reflection, by scholars with expertise in the faith traditions, on how the transhumanist agenda might impact the body.

What if you found out you could live a healthy life lasting for a thousand years or longer? Advances in biomedical technology raise the theoretical possibility that people could dramatically prolong or even indefinitely extend "healthy" human life. If this science of "radical life extension" is realized and the technology becomes widely available, it would arguably have a more radical impact on humanity than any other development in history. This book is the first concerted effort to explore the implications of radical life extension from the perspective of the world's major religious traditions.

This book is the most anticipated publishing event in human history. Written down from angelic inspiration in A.D. 54 by Joseph of Arimathea, the earthly father of Jesus, The Book of the Holy Grail has been an unpublished manuscript for 1945 years. Revealed only in shattered pieces by an outlawed royal lineage protected by the world's most successful conspiracy, its secrets have influenced all of modern human history, from the rise of Christianity to the founding of the United States.

It reveals the origins of the universe, the sources of good and evil, and the purpose of human life. Its authenticity can be validated mathematically in American English, independent of its original language or historical documents.

It was first translated into English by Thomas Jefferson author of the Declaration of Independence, and himself a Grand Master, the Strict Observance -- Knights Templar, The United Orders of the American Rite.

This is the Bible of Gnostic Christianity, the original source for the legends of the Holy Grail, of Freemasonry, even of the Mormon Church. Its text contains the most attacked and suppressed alternative gospel of the life of Jesus. It disputes the accounts in the traditionally accepted gospels regarding what Jesus' mission was on Earth, what Jesus taught, and how Jesus died.

It has been waiting for the turn of the third millennium, and authority from prophecies made 146 years ago, for it finally to be published.

Forget The Passover Plot, The Gnostic Gospels, The Celestine Prophecy, or Conversations With God. If you're looking for the New Age book which was planned for publication before time itself began, you've been waiting for The Book of the HolyGrail.

Whatever you believe, it is time that this book surfaces into the public consciousness, so it can finally stand alongside the other great books of human faith and human history.

Classic reference describes in detail hundreds of implements in use in the American colonies in the 18th century. Over 250 illustrations depict tools identical in construction to ancient devices once used by the Greeks, Egyptians and Chinese, among them axes, saws, clamps, chisels, mallets, and much more.

The Bible in Iron is a richly illustrated book published in 1914 that documents and studies cast-iron stoves of Pennsylvania German origin. The stoves, decorated with intricate religious iconography derived from biblical stories and classical texts, were popular in the colonial period but had received little attention in historical texts and studies. Henry Mercer explains and describes the art of cast-iron stoves, their European origins, and their history in North America, presenting detailed analyses of the images and inscriptions on more than two hundred stoves found in the Pennsylvania region. The Bible in Iron provides unique insight into the cultural and spiritual life of Pennsylvania Germans through its examination of largely overlooked everyday objects.
