Sinossi

Great Wall Engineering explores the remarkable construction of the Great Wall of China, focusing on the engineering ingenuity required to build this extensive fortification across diverse terrains. It highlights the adaptive design philosophy employed by ancient Chinese engineers, who expertly modified construction techniques and materials based on local conditions, showcasing a deep understanding of structural mechanics. The book reveals how the Wall's success stemmed from this ability to adapt to challenges, which involved not only overcoming geographical obstacles but also efficiently managing resources and manpower.

 
The book examines the Wall's historical context, tracing its evolution across dynasties and the political motivations driving its construction. It then dives into specific engineering challenges, such as foundation construction on unstable ground and the transportation of heavy materials. Through a synthesis of historical texts, archaeological surveys, and modern engineering analyses, the book unveils the intricacies of the Wall's design and construction.

 
The final section explores the Wall’s impact on Chinese society and its legacy, demonstrating how the Great Wall influenced subsequent fortification designs and construction practices.

Packed with insights from experts, it is an enlightening read which will prompt us all to really think about our kit, food and travel, and to identify simple changes we can make to our running and wider lives.

    Rosicrucian Doctrines and Tenets

    Trustworthy information is unavailable concerning the actual philosophical beliefs, political aspirations, and humanitarian activities of the Rosicrucian Fraternity. Today, as of old, the mysteries of the Society are preserved inviolate by virtue of their essential nature; and attempts to interpret Rosicrucian philosophy are but speculations, anything to the contrary notwithstanding. 
    Evidence points to the probable existence of two distinct Rosicrucian bodies: an inner organization whose members never revealed their identity or teachings to the world, and an outer body under the supervision of the inner group. In all probability, the symbolic tomb of Christian Rosencreutz, Knight of the Golden Stone, was in reality this outer body, the spirit of which is in a more exalted sphere. For a period of more than a century subsequent to 1614, the outer body circulated tracts and manifestoes under either its own name or the names of various initiated members. The purpose of these writings was apparently to confuse and mislead investigators, and thus effectively to conceal the actual designs of the Fraternity.
