Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An original account of ancient Egyptian and Sumerian architecture from the acclaimed architectural historian In The Beginnings of Architecture, Sigfried Giedion examines the architecture of ancient Egypt and Sumer. These early builders expressed an attitude of immense force when they confronted their structures with open sky. Giedion argues that it was during these periods that the problem of constancy and change flared up with an intensity unknown in any other period of history, and resolved eventually into the first architectural space conception, the automatic, psychic recording of the visual environment.

Book excerpt: Haven Moore can't control her visions of a past with a boy called Ethan and a life in New York that ended in fiery tragedy. In our present, she designs beautiful dresses for her classmates with her best friend Beau. Dressmaking keeps her sane, since she lives with her widowed and heartbroken mother in her tyrannical grandmother's house in Snope City, a tiny town in Tennessee. Then an impossible group of coincidences conspire to force her to flee to New York, to discover who she is, and who she was. In New York, Haven meets Iain Morrow and is swept into an epic love affair that feels both deeply fated and terribly dangerous. Iain is suspected of murdering a rock star and Haven wonders, could he have murdered her in a past life? She visits the Ouroboros Society and discovers a murky world of reincarnation that stretches across millennia. Haven must discover the secrets hidden in her past lives, and loves, before all is lost and the cycle begins again.

Book excerpt: The generation ship Peerless is suffering from a population explosion, and the only way to reduce the number of children is by drastically limiting the females' food intake. So population control consists of two barbaric choices: starvation, or suicide. Trying to find a better way, a biologist starts experimenting with animals, and stumbles on a technique that radically alters the reproductive cycle. But while the advantages are obvious, there's a major drawback: while it spares women from their old role - reproduction without hope of survival - it will essentially wipe out an entire sex. Amid the turmoil created by this new possibility, physicists on the ship are working to develop the technology they will need to complete the mission of the Peerless. One of the expedition's founders dreamed of discovering the Eternal Flame: a way to generate thrust without consuming any fuel at all. The inhabitants on board the Peerless have some hard choices to make - and the wrong one could spell extinction for their entire race.

Book excerpt: These 16 sermons contain in concentrated form some of Tillich's most lambent themes. Although they were first published in the early 1960s, the pieces in question take up preoccupations which continue to haunt us at the beginning of the 21st century. Tillich discusses, among other topics, wisdom; salvation; loneliness and solitude; creation in relation to the creator; inequality; and spiritual presence. He has a desire to make sense of the fundamental mystery of Christian theology: the paradox of the moment which is now wherein comes the mystery which is eternity.

Book excerpt: Designed to help people with pet loss, The Eternal Gift demystifies how animals experience their lives and deaths. As an internationally known animal communicator who has spoken with animals on the Other Side, Lauren McCall brings messages of joy and unconditional love from animals who have died. These messages will bring encouragement and reassurance to those loving, grieving souls left behind and enable them to move past their grief and into a place of acceptance. The best selling pet book in Japan for 14 months and translated into Japanese, Italian and Korean, this is a must read for anyone who seeks a better understanding of their animal companions and how they view their life, and for anyone who has experienced the loss of a cherished animal friend. Practical tips on how to cope with pet loss are offered, as well as a guided imagery the reader can use to make their on very personal connection with their deceased pet. From the very start, the book sets the stage for the joy and optimism expressed by the animals in the chapters that follow. Animals believe that the love connection between themselves and their human family members lives on after death, an everlasting and eternal gift. The author touches on questions that go through the minds of those who have experienced, or will experience, the loss of a beloved animal. "Is my pet all alone somewhere?" "Is my animal going to heaven?" "Is there an afterlife for animals?" "Is she afraid?" The book also puts into perspective issues that people commonly express about having kept their animal alive too long, or released them too soon. These issues and many more will be answered directly through the use of conversations with animals who have passed on. Though commentary is woven throughout the book, the author allows the words of the animals to clearly and eloquently express their experiences about life, the death process, the other side, and reincarnation. Though The Eternal Gift is by nature a spiritual book, the author points out to the reader that ..".this book is not based on any particular religious belief, but rather the point of view of our animal friends." This is much more than a book about grief and loss. With its 'straight from the horse's mouth' perspective, The Eternal Gift takes the reader on a wonderful journey led by the author, and by animals who have shared loving lives with their people and want to reassure them that there is life beyond death and that the eternal cycle of life, death and reincarnation is one that they are comfortable with.
