The World in One School explores in text and image the global
influence of Britain's oldest University School of Architecture,
exploring the history of the School and what its teachers and
graduates have achieved internationally in designing and
constructing the architecture of the world. Under the leadership of
Sir Charles Reilly, architects such as Herbert Rowse and Harold Dod
worked in the American Beaux Arts style and this became the house
style of the School that is reflected in numerous Liverpool
landmarks. Exported worldwide, what became known as the 'Liverpool
Manner' brought a distinctive style to major buildings across the
globe. Students at the School came from all corners of the world
and, equally, were sent on international practice placements. In
the years between the two world wars, American architectural
practices were prominent in this movement - for example, McKim,
Mead and White; Corbett, Harrison and McMurray; and Carrer and
Hastings. Later, under Lionel Budden, the School moved into the
forefront of the Modernist movement, with architects such as Edwin
Maxwell Fry and George Checkley drawing inspiration from the works
of Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe. Other graduates of the
School, such as William (Lord) Holford and Gordon Stephenson made
major worldwide contributions to the field of city and regional
planning. The World in One School is a remarkable story of a School
with a long history of honours and awards, including six Royal Gold
Medals for Architecture to its graduates and staff: Sir Charles
Reilly, Sir Patrick Abercrombie, Lord Holford, Edwin Maxwell Fry,
Sir James Stirling and Colin Rowe.
Jack Dunn was devastated to discover Dan Brown had stolen the story
from his novel The Vatican Boys to create the international
bestseller The Da Vinci Code. The plagiarism was obvious. There
were hundreds of similarities between the two books, including
characters, settings, plot lines and subject matter. The discovery
changed the course of Jack's life. He began an extraordinary fight
for justice which pushed him to the depths of despair as he tried
to prove his work had been copied by Dan Brown. The Da Vinci Fraud
is Jack's story, his explosive true account of the greatest
literary fraud in history and a book which will change forever the
way the world sees one of the most successful writers of all time.
Catherine Turrell, an intriguing and courageous young French woman,
was drawn into the Opus Dei at a low point in her life. By the time
she tries to leave, she has learned much more about its illicit
Vatican Bank finances than the organization's leaders ever wanted
her to find out. Catherine is desperate to move on from her past,
but when the corrupt Vatican Chief Secretary unleashes a plot to
make himself the next Pope using a relic linked to Jesus Christ
Himself, only she can stop him. At Catherine's side is a scholarly
priest and Stephen Hathaway, an American from the top level of the
Opus Dei who has the knowledge to help her take on its leaders,
their Mason friends and Knight bankers. With an assassin on their
trail and time running out, Catherine races to find a secret which,
in the wrong hands, could destroy the Catholic Church. Set against
the backdrop of a 1990s Conclave in Rome, The Vatican Boys is an
intricate and fast-paced thriller with seismic true events at its
core.
In the world of the 21st Century creating a literary masterpiece is
simple
Christopher Columbus first voyage to the New World was in 1492.
With three more explorations, he visited the Caribbean coasts of
South America and Central America. In 1498, he discovered a huge
fresh water ocean with an island on it somewhere near present-day
Venezuela. He and his men described it as the biblical Garden of
Eden. But Columbus never told the world what they found. In the
following years, Amerigo Vespucci came to the same locality and he
mapped an island off of the coast of Venezuela. The Cantino World
Map is the earliest surviving map that shows Portuguese discoveries
in the east and west. Named after Alberto Cantino who smuggled it
to Italy from Portugal in 1502, it portrays a fragmentary record of
the South American coast including a floating land mass that's not
there in modern maps. In 2000-2013 seven superyachts are built in
Germany for Russian oligarchs. In 2014 some are in the Caribbean
searching for El Diablo, Utopia or New Atlantis, the fabled island
that might still be there with a majestic City of the Sun.
The Bloodline Attack on Jesus Christ is a well-planned, worldwide
conspiracy to create power for a small group of people who are
anti-Christians, actually acting against all faiths of the world
who do not worship their devil god. These power mongers profess a
sacred Right to Rule lineage and are trying to get believers to
lose Faith in the One TRUE Jesus Christ. In 2000-2012 they create a
worldwide power movement against the good people of the earth,
taking over the governments and economies of the world to honor
their own "other Jesus Christ," who is the Anti-Christ. But, there
are courageous people fighting them, exposing their devious plans,
uniting worldwide, to defeat their sinister attacks on Jesus
Christ.
An intriguing story begins on Noah's Ark during the baffling Great
Flood. Sought for thousands of years since the Ark landed, an
ancient glass object is believed to reveal all that occurred before
God vanquished the earth for mankind's sins. Some ancient texts
tell that that the holder of the mysterious crystal can see
everything that will take place in the postdiluvian world.Two
Catholic priests, Joshua Saffarian and Luke Roberts, are in Sicily,
Pergamum, Turkey and New York City because of an evil goat god and
a group of Freemasons. The sinister double agents have taken
control of the Central Banks in the United States, Europe, Russia,
India and most other countries and are bleeding the Earth's
economies dry. It seems that their wicked Thoth who slithered off
the Ark on Mount Ararat controls Time and Dimensions. For the last
3500 years he has managed to destroy the Pharaohs of Egypt,
including Cleopatra, Alexander the Great of Greece, the prophet
Daniel, Jewish high priests and The Temple of Old Jerusalem, and
plagued the Catholic Church's hierarchy in the early days of Rome
and since. A Demonic Power has suddenly taking hold of the entire
planet by using the United States and Democracy as its base of
operations. The Great Work of the Masons is a Master Plan devised
in the last 100 years that is being implemented in the first years
of the 21st Century to get all people to glorify the hermaphroditic
god.
