Product Description

History: Fiction or Science? is the most explosive tractate on history ever written - however, every theory it contains, no matter how unorthodox, is backed by solid scientific data. The book is well-illustrated, contains over 446 graphs and illustrations, copies of ancient manuscripts, and countless facts attesting to the falsity of the chronology used nowadays, which never cease to amaze the reader. Eminent mathematician proves that: Jesus Christ was born in 1153 and crucified in 1186 The Old Testament refers to mediaeval events. Apocalypse was written after 1486. Does this sound uncanny? This version of events is substantiated by hard facts and logic - validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources - to a greater extent than everything you may have read and heard about history before. The dominating historical discourse in its current state was essentially crafted in the XVI century from a rather contradictory jumble of sources such as innumerable copies of ancient Latin and Greek manuscripts whose originals had vanished in the Dark Ages and the allegedly irrefutable proof offered by late mediaeval astronomers, resting upon the power of ecclesial authorities. Nearly all of its components are blatantly untrue! For some of us, it shall possibly be quite disturbing to see the magnificent edifice of classical history to turn into an ominous simulacrum brooding over the snake pit of mediaeval politics. Twice so, in fact: the first seeing the legendary millenarian dust on the ancient marble turn into a mere layer of dirt - one that meticulous unprejudiced research can eventually remove. The second, and greater, attack of unease comes with the awareness of just how many areas of human knowledge still trust the three elephants of the consensual chronology to support them. Nothing can remedy that except for an individual chronological revolution happening in the minds of a large enough number of people.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Description:
A sustainable city is one that relates its use of resources and its generation and disposal of wastes to the limits imposed on such activities by the planet and its organisms. Drawing upon a study that proposes quantifiable urban actions related to sustainability, we designed three cities with common characteristics but in different geographical and climatic regions (Vietnam, Namibia, Serbia & Montenegro). The intent of the designs is to maintain sustainability as the city evolves over a 20-year period. Several lessons emerge from these case studies: (1) The imposition of quantitative sustainability requirements poses no substantial barriers to the design of workable cities over a range of quite different geographic and climatic conditions; (2) Accommodating evolution is important to sustainable city design; a city can potentially be sustainable at some stages of its evolution but not others; (3) Cities can never be designed and built as totally isolated systems, so sustainable design is ultimately a hierarchical exercise with cities at a low level and the entire planet at the top of a multilevel system, each element of which must contribute to its sustainability.

Description:
The transition from today's largely unsustainable use of resources of all kinds to a world that is becoming increasingly sustainable will be won or lost in the next few decades, and in the planet's urban areas. In order to approach the challenges associated with this transition, it is necessary to quantify the sustainable requirements for a satisfactory urban life-energy, water, food, non-renewable resources, transportation, housing, and waste management (among a number of other possibilities). We have reviewed levels of current resource use in cities in the more developed and less developed worlds, and levels that would seem adequate for the urban populations of the future, and propose quantitative 'sustainability requirements' for consideration. We suggest that these levels, or something like them, provide a basis for planning, initiating implementation, and monitoring progress toward sustainable cities in the 21st century.

Book Description

Since its invention in 1982, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has enabled users to obtain images reflecting surface electronic structure with atomic resolution. This technology has proved indispensable as a characterization tool with applications in surface physics, chemistry, materials science, bio-science, and data storage media. It has also shown great potential in areas such as the semiconductor and optical quality control industries. Scanning Force Microscopy, Revised Edition updates the earlier edition's survey of the many rapidly developing subjects concerning the mapping of a variety of forces across surfaces, including basic theory, instrumentation, and applications. It also includes important new research in STM and a thoroughly revised bibliography. Academic and industrial researchers using STM, or wishing to know more about its potential, will find this book an excellent introduction to this rapidly developing field.

Book Description

The Code of the Samurai is a four-hundred-year-old explication of the rules and expectations embodied in Bushido, the Japanese way of the warrior. Bushido has played a major role in shaping the behavior of modern Japanese government, corporations, society, and individuals, as well as in shaping the modern martial arts within Japan and internationally. The Japanese original of this book has been one of the primary sources on the tenets of Bushido, a way of thought that remains fascinating to modern world, East and West

Timeless.......2007-04-12

Take a peek into Japanese culture, and be amazed how this ancient text still applies to life today. You'll also learn a great deal about medieval Japan.

An ancient book but still applicable to modern life.......2007-03-15

Code of the Samurai is a nice peek into Japanese culture, in under a hundred pages. It's amazing to see how such an ancient book can still be of use today, and how some things we consider 'common courtesy' have fundamental roots, and an actual reason.

Good.......2006-03-23

The author does a good job translating the text into modern day principles. Definitely a good read for those interested in Bushido and it's ideas.

Interesting.......2005-07-06

I found this book educational, comical, and well worth reading. In less than a hundred pages it taught me a lot about medieval Japan. What I enjoyed more is the way its original author's voice comes shining through in the text. His condescension, his bluntness, his matter-of-fact all make for a hilarious introduction to the mind of the samurai. Some of the statements that come out of Shigesuke's mouth are a world apart from what we hear in textbooks today. He has no problem telling the student that he is a "lazy" "moron" "coward" unless he is exactly what a warrior should be. But beneath all this there is wisdom here. A very interesting book.

informative and delightful.......2005-05-13

Wonderful read, and unlike such weightier classics as THE ART OF WAR or THE BOOK OF FIVE RINGS, this one is readily accessible to the western mind.

After reading it twice, I came to think that everything after the first chapter -- nay, after the first two paragraphs -- was mere repetition. This is because all the behaviors and philosophies the author recommends would be the natural consequence if one truly were to "keep death in mind at every possible moment."

The book is a series of short chapters like "Loyalty," "Finances," "Personal Appearance;" each describing the ideal behavior of an ideal samurai with respect to each.

I can't comment on the organization or skill of Cleary's translation, though, since I know of no other version of this book. However I am inclined to think it is adept, since the nature of the work suggests the original Japanese would be extremely stiff. This is not the case with the English.

Gripes:

1. Note that this is a thin book; you can read it in about an hour. I was expecting something much thicker, at least the size of THE UNFETTERED MIND, say.

2. Oscar Ratti's illustrations will be disappointing to those familiar with his work in SECRETS OF THE SAMURAI and AIKIDO: THE DYNAMIC SPHERE. There are only a handful of them, and that handful isn't very interesting.

3. The binding of this book came apart rather quickly, after just the first read. Perhaps just my copy, though.

4. Sadly, the introduction by Cleary is completely forgettable.

So ever sense then he has been vary scared of his house, and it's weird noises like the dripping of the faucet and the creaking of a floorboard when some one walks. So one night he wakes up at mid night and takes a baseball bat with him to the kitchen where he thinks he can hear someone. When he gets to the kitchen he astonished to see a ghost making biscuits and singing biscuits of glory (hence the title) and she is singing in a very sad voice. When the boy asks what is wrong she tells the sorry of how she died and how she can reach heaven and I will not reveal that to you for you'll have to find out your self.

I gave the book a four out of five star rating because it was a fast reader and it had a lot of variety. That is for people that like tones of genera of books. After all this is a collection of short stories. So who knows what you'll find. But I also didn't like this book that much cause nothing really bad ever happened.

End.

Abysmally bad.......2005-04-18

After checking this book out at the local library, I was so disgusted I sent them the following letter to urge its removal from the YA section:

I am very disturbed by the content of a Young Adult Fiction book I recently checked out. I strongly feel that you should consider removing it from the shelf, since some of the ideas it presents could be harmful to young adults at very vulnerable times in their lives. The book is Bruce Coville's short story collection titled _Odder Than Ever_. While most of the stories are simply strange or funny, the last three promote clearly negative and shortsighted ideological agendas.

The story "The Japanese Mirror" concerns a boy who has trouble controlling his violent temper, until the day he sees a strangely distorted version of himself in an old mirror. His outbursts of temper start to radically diminish, through no particular effort on his part, but every time he does not become violent, his anger is transferred to the monster in the mirror. The monster becomes stronger and stronger, until at last the power of the boy's repressed anger allows it to break free to wreak havoc. At this point the boy learns that in order to stop the monster, he must accept it and love it, and welcome his anger back into his own soul. While there is indeed something to be said in favor of healthy expression of emotion, I am disturbed by this story's message because it presents a false dilemma: either the boy must lose all control of his anger or he must wholeheartedly embrace it. Nowhere is a third choice presented, the possibility that the boy might learn other, more mature responses to the situations that have provoked his outbursts of anger.

The second disturbing story is titled "Am I Blue?" This story promotes an incredibly intolerant and narrowminded attitude toward people whose values may differ from one's own, and advances a number of stereotypes. In the story, a boy struggling to understand his own developing sexuality is visited by his fairy godfather. This fairy godfather practiced homosexuality in his lifetime, and died as the result of a hate crime. He enables the young central character to see the people around him in terms of the strength of what the author posits as homosexual tendencies or degrees of gayness. Those who exhibit such tendencies turn different shades of blue depending on the strength of their tendency. This story is offensive on a number of levels. First, it presents a radically oversimplified and distorted picture of the results of the choice to engage in homosexual behavior. Second, with its odd notion of homosexual tendencies, it presents the totally false idea that some people have no choice whether they engage in homosexual behavior or not--in other words, it suggests to young adults that their lives are more controlled by heredity and environment than by the choices they make. Third, the story advances dangerous and intolerant stereotypes. It implicates the totally specious equivalence of artistic talent with homosexual tendencies, and most insulting of all, clearly suggests that the only reason a person would object to homosexual behavior is because he or she is violently suppressing his or her own desire to engage in that behavior. This is ridiculous logic; the fact that I object strenuously to murder does not mean I am violently suppressing a desire to kill someone.

But it is the last story whose ideas have, arguably, the most potential to cause serious harm to young adult readers. In "The Metamorphosis of Justin Jones," the young protagonist manages, by supernatural means, to escape an abusive homelife dominated by an alcoholic uncle. At the end of the story, though, his magical benefactress convinces him that he must return to live with his uncle, instead of staying in the refuge he has found. At first sight, her reasoning seems sound; she tells Justin that if he stays away he will never develop spiritually and emotionally into the loving man he is meant to become, a man who will help other children. So, of course, Justin makes the "heroic" decision, and returns to his abusive uncle. The problem with that "heroic" decision is this: it implies clearly that the decision to leave an abusive home is somehow immature or inferior. It could easily influence a vulnerable young adult reader not to report abuse, and/or to needlessly remain in an abusive situation because the suffering is seen as somehow redemptive in and of itself. Such a decision to stay or keep quiet could also endanger younger family members, and perpetuate the cycle of abuse.

Because of the emotionally and spiritually dangerous messages presented in this book, I strongly urge that it be removed from the Young Adult collection.
Thank you for your consideration.

Basically, avoid this book. Joey (above) hit the nail on the head.

This is the worst book I ever read.......2004-04-17

Odder Than Ever is the worst book I ever read. It is a bunch of really really really stupid short stories. One is about a guy who thinks he is gay, another is about a mean father who leaves and never comes back untill his sun find him ruleing an odd world. If you have nightmares after reading scary stories dont read this book. One story is about a kid that gets sucked under his bed into another world and has to be a slave that delivers nightmares in the middle of the night forever. Dont read this book.

great book!.......2002-07-24

this is one of my very very favorite books of all time and i have read over thousands for sure. The stories in this book range from funny to dark to moving to breathtakingly beatiful. One thing they all have in common is that they are entertaining and some of them i am sure you will never forget. This is truly a wonderful collection of stories.
from a funny love story about a goblin and a princess and a heartbreakingly bittersweet story of a boy who gains wings and a very hard choice, everthing in this book is original and wonderfully written. I highly reccomend this to anyone.

Read this!.......2000-09-19

If you've ever read anything by Bruce Coville, and thought it was cool, well by all means, BUY THIS BOOK! I'm serious. Some of the stories have appeared in the anthologies(Like "Biscuts of Glory"), but it's worth it to have this book too, trust me.
