Sinossi

"Wonders of the Past" offers a fascinating exploration of humanity's greatest historical achievements and their lasting impact on modern civilization. Through a methodical examination of archaeological evidence and historical records, the book unveils how monumental architecture, sophisticated social systems, and cultural preservation methods have shaped our understanding of human capability across different eras.

 
The narrative progresses through three distinct yet interconnected themes, beginning with an analysis of architectural marvels like the Egyptian pyramids and Roman aqueducts. Rather than simply describing these structures, the book delves into the complex social and technological systems that made such achievements possible. This approach reveals fascinating insights into how ancient civilizations managed to organize vast workforces and develop innovative construction techniques that continue to astound modern engineers.

 
The book's multidisciplinary approach combines historical analysis with archaeological findings and anthropological research, making it uniquely valuable for readers interested in understanding how past achievements influence contemporary society. By examining everything from Mesopotamian record-keeping systems to the preservation of cultural heritage through oral traditions, the text presents a comprehensive view of how human civilization has developed and maintained its most significant accomplishments. This careful balance of academic rigor and accessibility ensures that both casual history enthusiasts and serious scholars will find valuable insights within its pages.

    “If you really want to learn the basic principles of practical alchemy, Frater Albertus’ Alchemist’s Handbook is literally is worth its weight in gold.”—from the foreword by Israel Regardie, author of The Golden Dawn: The Original Account of the Teachings, Rites, and Ceremonies of the Hermetic OrderThe Alchemist's Handbook has long been considered a modern-day classic on the actual practice of alchemy since its first publication in 1960. The book still stands as a groundbreaking work presenting in clear, concise language a practical manual of working knowledge that was formerly handed down only under oath of secrecy.The scope of alchemical work is to provide both a means to synthesize all the other sciences and the necessary training of the intellectual and spiritual faculties. “Hermetic philosophy, with its practical arcanum,” writes Frater Albertus, “repeats itself over and over again in the ancient axiom ‘As above, so below. As below, so above.’"The Alchemist's Handbook discusses in detail:The basic fundamental principles of alchemy.A guide to the formation of an inexpensive home laboratory with illustrations of the necessary equipment.Step-by-step instructions for the work of the Lesser Circulation, the alchemical transformation within the plant kingdom.  “The teachings of Frater Albertus are part of a lineage that traces back to Rosicrucian sources and much earlier and The Alchemist’s Handbook is still the best introduction to that lineage. If you feel the call of Alchemy and want real information on the subject, this is definitely the book you will want to read, reread, and read again. It may just turn out to be the book that changes your life.”—From the foreword by Robert Allen Bartlett, author of Real Alchemy: A Primer of Practical AlchemyFirst published by Weiser Books in 1974, this new Weiser Classics edition includes a new foreword by Robert Allen Bartlett, author of Real Alchemy.

    Dive into the depths of the mind with "The Human Psychology Bible," a comprehensive two-part series that seeks to unravel the intricate tapestry of human behavior and thought. Authored by the insightful Alan G. Fields, this definitive compilation, featuring "Human Psychology 101" and its advanced counterpart "Human Psychology 202," offers a profound look into what propels our actions, shapes our personalities, and defines our interactions. 
    "The Human Psychology Bible" is not just another academic text; it's an engaging journey into understanding the gray complexities that govern our everyday lives. Alan G. Fields draws upon extensive research, real-life anecdotes, and relatable stories, breaking down the seven core aspects of human psychology: emotions, personality, decision-making, morality, perception, behavior, and relationships. 
    In "Human Psychology 101," Fields lays the foundation, mapping the landscapes of the mind with a vibrant introduction to psychological principles. It's a guide designed to elucidate the mechanics of the mind, offering a window into why people behave the way they do — a sort of psychological sleight of hand that transforms the mystifying into the comprehensible. 
    Advancing to "Human Psychology 202," the exploration deepens. Fields skillfully addresses the complexities of human thought processes, unmasking the often irrational patterns that can lead to negativity and self-sabotage. This section delves into the power of thought and its profound impact on our actions, encouraging readers to break free from the chains of limited thinking and embrace the full spectrum of mental possibilities.

    In April 1943, Commander Peter Gretton was in charge of escorting a vital Allied trade convoy from New York to Great Britain across the North Atlantic. Over the course of the voyage, the sixty-one merchant ships of convoy HX231, along with the six ships of B7 Escort Group, were continuously shadowed and attacked by a German wolf pack of twenty U-boats. 
     
     
     
    With the aid of air support, the convoy and defending escort fought valiantly across hundreds of miles of ocean and, despite poor weather conditions, managed to sink and severely damage several enemy submarines. Tragically six merchant ships were torpedoed and with no rescue vessel any survivors were left stranded in the freezing waters of the Atlantic as the convoy continued on its journey. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on reports from both sides, Gretton details the sequence of events as convoy HX231 battled its way through a large wolf pack and offers an authoritative post-battle analysis of the strategies, decisions, and actions taken that would ultimately see the tide of war turn in favor of victory for the Allies. 
     
     
     
    Crisis Convoy takes the listener to the heart of the action and is a thrilling account of naval warfare during World War II.
