Christopher White points to ways that both spiritual practices and scientific speculation about multiverses and invisible dimensions are efforts to peer into the hidden elements and even existential meaning of the universe. Creatively appropriated, these ideas can restore a spiritual sense that the world is greater than anything our eyes can see.

The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design offers a compelling collection of original essays that seek to examine the shifting role of interior architecture and interior design, and their importance and meaning within the contemporary world. Interior architecture and interior design are disciplines that span a complexity of ideas, ranging from human behaviour and anthropology to history and the technology of the future. Approaches to designing the interior are in a constant state of flux, reflecting and adapting to the changing systems of history, culture and politics. It is this process that allows interior design to be used as evidence for identifying patterns of consumption, gender, identity and social issues. The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design provides a pioneering overview of the ideas and arrangements within the two disciplines that make them such important platforms from which to study the way humans interact with the space around them. Covering a wide range of thought and research, the book enables the reader to investigate fully the changing face of interior architecture and interior design, while offering questions about their future trajectory.

Declaring that she cannot neglect the brilliant anthropology of the Homo sapiens and his Celestial Orientations, she earnestly reflects upon the piano composition she had been most thankful to share at the Rosicrucian Order during the '70s in San Jose, California. Due to immense hardship, however, she regrets that she was unable to attend a meeting at which she was to meet Carl Sagan. "Freewill is an underlying idealism of common convention that disadvantaged and victimized creatures are incapable of maintaining. Controlling our environment poses insurmountable limits." The thematic content of Pirouetting Spheres reflects her association with the Rosicrucian Order, the San Jose Egyptian Museum bearing her profound sentiment. "I am from such a broken home that I was truly ashamed-pathetically incapable of extending rightful hospitality to those extending invaluable moral support. I hereby reflect upon the struggles of mortal man." She maintains that accurate responses are not always possible during moments too typical and fleeting. "I hope this poetry will encourage my fellow brothers and sisters to seek Justice and Fulfillment through the History of Civil Code and Astral Appeal."
