From Nobel prize-winner Roger Penrose, this groundbreaking book is for anyone "who is interested in the world, how it works, and how it got here" (New York Journal of Books). Penrose presents a new perspective on three of cosmology’s essential questions: What came before the Big Bang? What is the source of order in our universe? And what cosmic future awaits us? He shows how the expected fate of our ever-accelerating and expanding universe—heat death or ultimate entropy—can actually be reinterpreted as the conditions that will begin a new “Big Bang.” He details the basic principles beneath our universe, explaining various standard and non-standard cosmological models, the fundamental role of the cosmic microwave background, the paramount significance of black holes, and other basic building blocks of contemporary physics. Intellectually thrilling and widely accessible, Cycles of Time is a welcome new contribution to our understanding of the universe from one of our greatest mathematicians and thinkers.

"America's constitutional system evolves through the interplay between three cycles: the rise and fall of dominant political parties, the waxing and waning of political polarization, and alternating episodes of constitutional rot and constitutional renewal. America's politics seems especially fraught today because we are nearing the end of the Republican Party's long political dominance, at the height of a long cycle of political polarization, and suffering from an advanced case of "constitutional rot." Constitutional rot is the historical process through which republics become increasingly less representative and less devoted to the common good. Caused by increasing economic inequality and loss of trust, constitutional rot seriously threatens the constitutional system. But America has been through these cycles before, and will get through them again. America is in a Second Gilded Age slowly moving toward a second Progressive Era, during which polarization will eventually recede. The same cycles shape the work of the federal courts and theories about constitutional interpretation. They explain why political parties have switched sides on judicial review not once but twice in the twentieth century. Polarization and constitutional rot alter the political supports for judicial review, make fights over judicial appointments especially bitter, and encourage constitutional hardball. The Constitution ordinarily relies on the judiciary to protect democracy and to prevent political corruption and self-entrenching behavior. But when constitutional rot is advanced, the Supreme Court is likely to be ineffective and may even make matters worse. Courts cannot save the country from constitutional rot; only political mobilization can"--

As much as 90 percent of the operational activities in a traditional plant is often nonessential or pure waste. Cycle Time Management provides an exact time-based methodology for eliminating most—if not all—of this waste within 24 to 30 months. It details the use of a cohesive management strategy that integrates just in-time (JIT) production, computer integrated manufacturing (CIM), and total quality control (TQC). Written by the developers of Cycle Time Management (CTM), this text explains how to measure productivity in terms of time, instead of revenue or people. It offers a fully detailed process for CTM implementation augmented by case studies, and illustrations.

"We know that nature operates in cycles. It is not only our daily lives that are moved by cycles of light and darkness, by seasons moved by the rotation of the Earth or civilizations that rise and fall. On a larger scale, our story is eternal and recurring, as the soul travels through an ongoing cycle of births and rebirths. Life is an interplay between the Supreme, human souls and the energies of matter."

A comprehensive study of the major occult writings on Atlantis • Fully examines the many occult teachings on Atlantis, including those from G. I. Gurdjieff, Madame Blavatsky, Julius Evola, Edgar Cayce, Fabre d’Olivet, and Dion Fortune • Shows how these writings correlate with the concept of cyclical history, such as the Mayan calendar and 2012, the Age of Aquarius, and the four Yugas • By a renowned scholar, author, editor, and translator of more than 30 books Atlantis has held a perennial place in the collective imagination of humanity from ancient Greece onward. Many of the great minds of the occult and esoteric world wrote at length on their theories of Atlantis--about its high culture, its possible location, its ultimate demise, and their predictions of a return to Atlantean enlightenment or the downfall of modern society. Beginning with a review of the rationalist writings on Atlantis--those that use geographic and geologic data to validate their theories--renowned scholar Joscelyn Godwin then analyzes and compares writings on Atlantis from many of the great occultists and esotericists of the 19th and 20th centuries, including Fabre d’Olivet, G. I. Gurdjieff, Guido von List, Julius Evola, Edgar Cayce, Dion Fortune, and René Guénon, whose writings often stem from deeper, metaphysical sources, such as sacred texts, prophecy, or paranormal communication. Seeking to unravel and explain the histories and interpretations of Atlantis and its kindred myths of Lemuria and Mu, the author shows how these different views go hand-in-hand with the concept of cyclical history, such as the Vedic system of the four Yugas, the Mayan calendar with its 2012 end-date, the theosophical system of root races, and the precession of the equinoxes. Venturing broader and deeper than any other book on Atlantis, this study also covers reincarnation, human evolution or devolution, the origins of race, and catastrophe theory.

Time marches forever forward! Does it? One experience of time is that it does indeed forever march forward, but this is not the only way to experience the dimension of time.Time can also be experienced as a cycle, movement that constantly returns to the past, and brings it into the present and future. This cycle does not simply bring back memories of a long ago past that most have forgotten. The cycle of time is a constant present reviving in our minds archetypal lessons of universal values that are as old as time itself, and as immortal as is the human soul.When seen through the eyes of Torah, time becomes living and vibrant. The holidays and commemorations that fill the Jewish calendar are far from being mere rituals of religion. They are instead alive, conscious, and sentient, even as we are ourselves.When we embrace a Torah observance and a Jewish holiday, we are living it anew. It is no longer past; it is here, now! Torah reveals to us the secrets of the cycles of time, and shows us how, as the Sefer Yetzirah reveals to us, space, time, and consciousness are all one!As a practitioner and teacher of the Prophetic Kabbalah system, Rabbi Tzadok opens up for us the world of Living Time as seen through the eyes of Living Torah.Included in this book are essays of in-depth Kabbalah, meditative kavanot, archetypal psychology, alongside essays of practical down-to-earth wisdom about the fundamental truths by which we live.Also included are a number of Halakhic essays about ritual observance of the Shabat, and how Kabbalah plays a role in even the most Orthodox of Jewish Halakha.Secrets of the Cycles of Time thus has something for everyone, at all levels of learning. It is a book that you will read and reread from year to year, always finding new insights and treasures therein.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Discover the game-changing theory of the cycles of history and what past generations can teach us about living through times of upheaval—with deep insights into the roles that Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials have to play—now with a new preface by Neil Howe. First comes a High, a period of confident expansion. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion. Then comes an Unraveling, in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis—the Fourth Turning—when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world—and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict what comes next. Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back five hundred years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four twenty-year eras—or “turnings”—that comprise history’s seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth. Illustrating this cycle through a brilliant analysis of the post–World War II period, The Fourth Turning offers bold predictions about how all of us can prepare, individually and collectively, for this rendezvous with destiny.
