Sinossi

Ancient Pyramid Engineering explores the remarkable construction methods employed by ancient civilizations to build colossal pyramids worldwide. Moving beyond simple descriptions, the book delves into the intricacies of materials sourcing, labor organization, and architectural planning, revealing the sophisticated knowledge systems that underpinned these monumental achievements. Discover how ancient builders, despite lacking modern technology, demonstrated a profound understanding of engineering principles, ensuring the stability and longevity of these structures.

 
The book begins by introducing pyramid construction as a global phenomenon, then investigates materials such as limestone, granite, and basalt; the logistics of managing vast workforces; and the surveying techniques used to ensure precise alignment. It highlights how the construction of pyramids reveals a shared capacity for complex problem-solving across diverse cultures.

 
Drawing upon archaeological findings, architectural surveys, and historical texts, the book offers a method-based approach, focusing on repeatable processes applicable across different regions and cultures.

 
Ultimately, Ancient Pyramid Engineering emphasizes the enduring legacy of pyramid construction, showcasing its influence on later architectural endeavors and its relevance to contemporary engineering challenges.

    Tragic events can often be the catalyst and inspiration for the creation of meaningful works of art. In this case, it was the September 11th catastrophe of 2001 which provided the stimulus that would ultimately lead me down a totally unforeseen path, revealing an attitude never previously observed. Other than a proclivity for drawing geometric shapes, no artistic tendencies had even been evident.
    The one constant theme in my work is the recurring use of nines and elevens to generate images. Other symbols and characters are also employed; sometimes intentional, sometimes not.
    People who have explored my world have seen different things. Take the journey and see what you can uncover. Remember, in the future, be open to the possibility that sometimes unexpected abilities can appear anytime in one's life. Be ready to embrace the opportunity these possibilities present and take them down your own personal road of discovery.

    “Burroughs famously dubbed Waters the Pope of Trash. Female Trouble, we might say, is his Summa Trashologica.” —Ed Halter, The Criterion CollectionListen as Waters himself acts out each role!It all goes to hell when Baltimore bad girl Dawn Davenport doesn’t get the cha-cha heels she’s been demanding for Christmas. In this hilarious, irreverent, pyrotechnic melee of high-trash hijinks, Dawn ruins Christmas, skips town, and embarks on a wild ride that involves hitchhiking, robbery, murder, pregnancy—and, of course, modeling and glamour, too. The second installment of John Waters’ classic Trash Trilogy, Female Trouble explodes conventional norms of good behavior (and art) and is all the proof you’ll ever need that sometimes being bad can feel so, so very good.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux

    Learn how your thoughts hold the power to transform your life from the cells up. 
    It has been more than 15 years since the publication of The Biology of Belief, Dr. Bruce H. Lipton’s seminal book that changed the way we think about our lives, our health, and our planet. During that time, research in the field of epigenetics has grown exponentially, and Dr. Lipton’s groundbreaking experiments have been reinforced by more than a decade of rigorous scientific study. 
    Now, this unabridged audio of the book explores Dr. Lipton’s experiments and those of other leading-edge scientists who have unraveled the profound connections between the mind, body, and spirit. 
    It is now widely recognized that genes and DNA do not control our biology. Instead, they are controlled by signals from outside the cell, including energetic messages emanating from our thoughts. This profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics puts the power to create a healthy, joyous life back in our own hands. 
    Through simple language, humor, and real-life examples, you’ll discover how epigenetics is revolutionizing our understanding of the link between mind and matter. When we transform our conscious and subconscious thoughts, Dr. Lipton teaches, we transform our lives - and in the process, we help humanity evolve to a new level of understanding and peace.

    He tells with humility the fascinating universe of film sets, the rehearsal sessions where he had to orchestrate and synchronize dozens of dancers, life backstage where it is sometimes necessary to manage a few whims of the stars, his successes and his disappointments. It is a dive into the heart of the world of dance.

Beginning with his time spent in Khandwa, Bhagalpur and Indore and going on to Bombay where Kishore moved to try his luck in cinema, this new biography by Parthiv Dhar and Anirudha Bhattacharjee tells it all.
