While religious faith, at least that which is of the orthodox type, appears to be on the decline and church attendance fall, the great experience of death which all men must undergo continues to intrigue many who seldom, if ever, cross the threshold of a church. In this meticulously compiled volume, Dr. Robert Crookall, an eminent scientist who is also a student of psychical research, has brought together, from a great many different sources, what appear to be the personal testimonies of the experiences of death and survival. Taken together they form an impressive body of evidence on a topic where opinion is frequently expressed but evidence seldom considered: what we have here an entirely new kind of evidence. The success of the first edition of this book, published in 1961, has led to the issue of this revised and updated edition.

"With contributions by Amid/Cero9, Aristide Antonas, Behemoth, Dogma, Didier Faustino, FORA+ Beth Hughes, MAPOffice, Alex Maymind, Microcities, Miniatura, Philippe Morel, and Raumlabor. In 1971, Superstudio published their twelve Ideal Cities, "the supreme achievement of twenty thousand years of civilization, blood, sweat and tears". The Superstudio piece was less about imagining the Future than it was about re-imagining Architecture as a form of knowledge and as a platform for thinking rather than mere practice. After 44 years, Black Square and Roman gallery CAMPO asked twelve groups of architects to give their own answer to the original brief. The Ideal City genre insinuates the possibility that space and bodily presence might not matter anymore in the future, while at the same time providing an ironic commentary on the architect's curse: our need to be projective and optimistic by default, even (or maybe especially) when civilization seems in fact to have come to an end. While Superstudio's response was intentionally dystopian, there might be other ways to interpret today the same brief: in The Supreme Achievement, a group of contemporary architects try to put forward not only ideas for new forms of life, but also new possibilities for our political imagination"--Publisher's site.

An extraordinary journey alongside America's new generation of Eagle Scouts, who are discovering their purpose and bringing the values of Scouting to the world. Over the past century, Scouts have helped to guide the course of American history. But what does Scouting and the Eagle badge mean to the Scouts of today? How will they shape the future of Scouting and America itself? In Spirit of Adventure, Scouting expert and Eagle Scout Alvin Townley finds the answer. Townley traveled across the country and to the far corners of the globe to meet these young Eagle Scouts. He found them everywhere, continuing the life of adventure and service that they had begun in Scouting. He discovered them in Afghanistan providing medical care to villagers, in Australia saving coral reefs, at the Super Bowl and Olympic venues striving for victory, on desert cliffs and at inner-city schools teaching new lessons, in Africa bringing hope to children, and on the windswept deck of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz preparing for takeoff. Whether doctors, activists, servicemen, entrepreneurs, or teachers, these young men are changing the world through bold actions that capture the essence of the Scouting tradition. In Spirit of Adventure, Townley answers important questions about the future of Scouting and America, while revealing stories of service, courage, and pure excitement that introduce our nation to an inspiring new generation of leaders.

Are you a fan of the Truth? If you enjoyed the writings of Eckhart Tolle, the mythology of Joseph Campbell, Deepak Chopra's eastern teachings, or Graham Hancock's books on prehistoric civilizations, you are sure to love The Vikings Secret Yoga; The Supreme Adventure. This is the first time in history that this Viking lore has been revealed. With their secretive poetic lore and mysterious pantheon of gods led by Odin the All-Father; Thor, the great Hammer-Striker; and Loki, the Evil One, it is almost impossible not to love the Vikings. But there are even more fans of the multi-faceted yoga systems devised by the ancient Hindustani in India more than five thousand years ago. Steven A. Key makes the case that transcendental yoga has not only endured over the millennia, but that it has traveled in different forms of spiritual or religious expression. Drawing on the writings of Joseph Campbell, the famous mythologist who hinted at a link between the cultures of the Eastern Hindus and the Northern Vikings, as well as other great thinkers, the author shows that yoga has influenced Buddhism, Christianity, and yes - even the tenth-century Vikings. Steven A. Key had a career taming Mainframes, the largest computer systems in the world. As a researcher and technocrat, he combines proven investigative skills with his deep personal interests in all things pertaining to body-mind and spirit, to create the provocative New Muse Book Series.
