The Great Pyramid of Cheops: geometrical perfection.The Piri Reis maps: ancient cartographs that showed Earth as seen from polar orbit -- they have recently been confirmed by satellite photography.Myriad proofs that Earth has changed its axial tilt during near-historical times: perhaps as recently as 1450 B.C.In 1962 Walt Richmond developed the theory of the "solar tap": a source of electrical power so great that one installation could provide the world's power. In 1963 his research papers were labeled "Top Secret." The Richmonds refused to work under conditions of secrecy, but Walt worked out on his own the ideal structure for a solar tap. The result: an exact replica of the Great Pyramid.The kind of power postulated by the Richmonds' findings makes all the anamolies of history fall into place. This book was written as science fiction. Whether the story approaches the actual beginning of our civilization is something for each reader to decide for themself...

Former schoolmaster Collin Melrose is found dead, but why is he sitting in the wrong chair? And did Lily Klimpton kill herself after her lover's death, or did she die at the hands of another? In Found Dead, Sherlock Holmes and John Watson return to unravel two mysterious tales by the devious Lyn McConchie. Local squire's daughter Miss Bibiana Paget befriends the ailing Collin Melrose, who lives near her family's estate. Melrose does not have long to live, so Miss Bibi isn't shocked when she visits his cottage and discovers him dead. Yet why would a man who couldn't walk unaided be sitting in a chair that was not his favorite, the one he always sat in? Something is very wrong, and Miss Bibi consults Holmes and Watson. Can they untangle the knotted threads of Melrose's past and expose a killer? In their second case, Holmes and Watson visit the Isle of Sheppey to investigate Lily Klimpton's death. Was it suicide, as everyone but her family believes, or was she murdered? And is her death related to that of Alistair Johnson, her erstwhile employer and paramour? Holmes and Watson's investigations uncover a far deeper evil than they first suspected-but can they prevent more deaths and capture those responsible?

What do Superman, Gertrude Stein, the Beatles, Lord Shiva, the Wizard of Oz, and Hermione Granger have in common? They share essential characteristics with iconic detective Sherlock Holmes, explored in Sherlock Holmes is Like: Sixty Comparisons for an Incomparable Character.In his introduction, editor Christopher Redmond says "The essays in this collection are not an analysis of what Sherlock Holmes is like (brilliant, unsociable, hawk-nosed) but rather case studies of whom he can be said to be like. Their sixty suggestions range across centuries and continents, and include figures from belief and legend as well as from contemporary fiction and film. Some are household names, while others will be unknown to nearly all readers. In each case, while the author has been encouraged to provide an introduction to the character in question, the ultimate purpose of the comparison is to shed light on some aspect of the character of Sherlock Holmes, whose complexities are far from exhausted more than 130 years after he was introduced to a curious readership."

Sherlock Holmes is one of the most recognizable-and most parodied-names in western literature. Bill Mason, BSI, collects and annotates these parody names, from the first one that appeared in 1891, to the present day. As Mason says in his introduction: One of the great aspects of Sherlock Holmes is the fact that, just as the character himself is subject to endless variation, so is his name. Ellery Queen noted that the name itself "is particularly susceptible to the twistings and mis-shapenings of burlesque minded authors." Surely, Arthur Conan Doyle, who struggled a little with what he was going to call his detective hero, could not have known just how perfect the name he finally selected-Sherlock Holmes-would be for parody, for rhyme, for the transposing of letters and sounds, for the substitution of suggestive words in the name of a comic character. Mason's listings are an invaluable resource for the Holmesian scholar, researcher, or for those interested in whiling away a few hours with a delightful and chuckle-inspiring volume.

Throughout the length and breadth of the sun-bleached cow town of Mescal, Arizona, seethes an undercurrent of suppressed excitement. In front of the town's blacksmith shop a group of Mormon homesteaders gather about their potential leader, Webb Nichols, in grave discussion. In a lodge room the special meeting of the Magdalena Stockmen's Association, comprising the big cow outfits of the county, has turned into a deluge of hot words and very pointed accusations. Is the long conflict between the homesteaders and the big outfits about to flare into violence again?For years this particular part of Arizona has been a rustler's paradise. And as long as homesteaders like Webb Nichols and Shad Caney cover up for the rustlers, the notorious Steve Jennings among them, they're asking for trouble from the big cattlemen. The Association decides to bring matters to a head by calling in Clay Roberts, a lone wolfer stock-detective with a reputation for getting results."It don't seem like one man could make much hell for us,'' says Webb Nichols, but in that thought Webb, as he is soon to discover, couldn't be more wrong.Clay Roberts has a couple of strikes on him from the beginning in Deputy Sheriff Dufors, a weak and embittered tool of the homesteaders, and in Webb and Shad, whose bitter, unreasoning feud is carried on by their children during school hours. These youthful hatreds make life miserable for the pretty new teacher, Eudora Stoddard, who is startled one day to find herself sheltering the head of the rustlers, Steve Jennings.From then on matters get tougher by the minute. Men who should be seeing eye to eye regard one another with cold hostility, the grisly episode at Parley Scott's takes place, the rustlers move in on one of the big cowmen and Clay heads for the hills in deadly pursuit, only to find himself forced to save the life of the dangerous rustler he is hired to capture. And that is only the beginning of new trouble for the fearless stock-detective, the cattlemen, and pretty Eudora Stoddard, whom Clay had hoped to make his wife.

Lawyers are much in demand these days -- overworked and, as some would claim, overpriced. More and more people find themselves needing legal advice in such matters as making a will, buying a house, defending a suit for damages (or entering one), starting a business, securing one's rights as a consumer, obtaining a divorce. How is the gap to be bridged between the supply of lawyers and demand for services? One answer, growing in popularity everywhere, is the paralegal, also called the lawyer's assistant, legal assistant, paralegal assistant, or paralegal associate.

A thousand years after the apocalyptic Holy Wars banished them from Ananya, the gods have returned-massacring the Empress and the Ananyan royal family, stripping away the magic that sustains Ananya's empire, and leaving it exposed to invading neighbors and vengeful fey. Ketya, neglected daughter of Ananya's most powerful official, wakes in the arms of the dead Empress. Along with her father she is rescued by Sperrin, a famous soldier whose post-traumatic stress disorder was "treated" by removing memories of his wife and daughter-memories which have returned with the destruction of Ananya's magic. Ketya finds herself fleeing into the uncertain safety of the mountains where she and Sperrin hope to regroup with other survivors. Ketya's father holds the answers to what happened and whether Ananya's magic can be restored-but the disaster that happened on his watch has shattered his sanity, leaving his daughter and her rescuer to try and piece things together. Harried by creatures out of ancient history Ketya and Sperrin make their way toward a mountain stronghold where an Ananyan army still stands, besieged by fey who want to retake the mountains they lost in the Holy Wars. Amid a desperate battle they uncover the depths of betrayal that ravaged Ananya-a betrayal that can only be undone if they agree to escort the traitor to the land of the gods themselves.

In the first place, Grandfather Rastin never should have bought that house in Wiston. It happened several years ago, when he was only about seventy-eight, but even so he was old enough to know better. He admits that himself.In the second place, he should have asked his tenants for references.He did buy the house, and he didn't ask for references, and that's where the trouble started...Lloyd Biggle, Jr. (1923-2002) is most famous as a science-fiction writer who used genuine science while emphasizing human and cultural elements, especially art and music (he held a Ph.D. in Musicology.)
