The Mexica Manuscript was discovered about twelve years ago hidden in a niche of a burried wall during excavations in the Cathedral Square of Mexico City. Written in an early form of the Nahautl language by Tlacaelel, the principle advisor of three kings whose reigns encompass the creation of the Aztec empire, and long thought to be the man responsible for the bizarre form it assumed, the document has been the subject of extensive study by archaeologists and anthropologists interested in prehistoric Mesoamerica.

Tyler Trent, the young man whose letters are featured herein, describes one of his revealing visions as "a dream within a dream...."

In effect the letters constitute his autobiography, edited in such a way as to highlight the unusual mental powers that originally inspired the author's research and helped him develop his well-known...

ISBN: 9781453731741 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Just after turning the corner of 40, the rather improbably hero featured herein published "The One-Fold Way," in a small notably unacclaimed book documenting his series of barely legal (and one slightly illegal) schemes designed to acquire enough capital to "resign from the USA" - but resulting instead in the discovery of Illogical Positivism. This marvelous operational principle not only made his immigration unnecessary, but also worked so well that as the corner of 60 approaches he feels the need to try again, supplementing it with supporting ideas acquired in the meantime from various...

It is easy to understand why the supposed author of this book says it is one he "never intended to write." He and a colleague, both dedicated theoretical physicists, go for a hike in the Santa Rita Mountains, take a wrong turn, and nearly perish of thirst before chancing on two deep pools of clear water; which happen to be located at the base of a "mini mountain" on a 40-acre parcel of Kinero Ranch, which also happens to be for sale. For some odd reason he feels compelled to buy it - and thus becomes an amateur anthropologist Initially, he merely attempts to discover the origin of the Pima...

ISBN: 9781453730584 / Angielski / Miękka / 1975 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A winsome tale with a light touch, of a frustrated academic who goes bad - or at least keeps trying to - in order to acquire enough cash to resign from the United States.

The Structure of Simplicity
ISBN: 9781453730522 / Angielski / Miękka / 1970 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Discerning historians have long suspected creativity in the arts and creativity in the sciences to be related in some mysterious way. This book attempts to dispel the mystery by analyzing the works, and the working methods of an artist and a scientist of acknowledged genius - the poet Emily Dickinson and the theoretical physicist Willard Gibbs. The comparison is given force, not only by the analysis, but also by the similarities in their lives and surroundings; both were products of the late nineteenth century mini-renaissance that flowered briefly in New England. In the end, the boundary...
