Phillip Frank was the German professor who replaced Einstein when he left Prague for Berlin. Frank was a fine theoretical physicist and a very cultivated man. Afterwards, in America, he became a philosopher of science at Harvard, I believe. This book is not the most complete biography of Einstein, but I still think it is the most intelligent, and the most beautifully written. Having had many conversations with Einstein at the peak of his career, he offers wonderful portraits of both the early life of the genius and of his work. I lost the count of how many times I read this book!

Gone well before his time. John Phillips was an unparalleled historian and teacher. I used to thumb thru this book at the library at UC Riverside just wondering how anyone could be as hysterical and brilliant as him.

Phillips' idea of separation/judgment is brilliant. Now we can start to understand the separation from infinite consciousness or God and how we have bought into the ultimate illusion of separation. His work with clients in altered states of consciousness also demonstrates a remarkable innovation in psychotherapy. By going beyond the mind into the energetic attachments of karma, the client can take personal responsibility for one's own healing and transformation. His symbol of the Divine Child is that power within

I had never heard of the author before, but found the synopsis intriguing enough to purchase a copy of 'The Enchanter's Torment.'
The story is about the last members of a family, who have been cursed with death by an evil group of occultists.
Over five hundred years, these occultists have exacted vengeance on this family by murdering them in gruesome and painful ways; their repayment for an incident which occurred all those years ago. They are now intent on destroying the last members of this family, thus fulfilling the curse placed upon them.
I don't know what I expected from this book; the cover and synopsis seemed intriguing, but you never really know until you have read it how good or bad it will be.
The first chapter wasted no time in introducing the main characters and held my attention.
The second chapter picked up the pace with the first explanation of the incident five hundred years before which resulted in the curse on this family.
Chapter three is quite short - this has the effect of raising the tension quickly and dramatically, and by the end of it, I was thoroughly 'hooked' on the story, and fascinated as to how it would develop.
Chapter four jumps elsewhere, leaving me mildly disappointed that the main theme was not to be amplified upon....but by the time I finished chapter four, the next chapter jumped back to the main story, but by then, I wanted the insights I was being given into this ruthless and evil society to continue.
The author makes excellent use of the technique of building one aspect of the story to a climax, and then switching to another aspect, which then builds up to a climax.....
This is skilfully done, and it was with great reluctance I had to stop reading to get some sleep.
I continued reading it the next day, and found the story no less engrossing. The torture, mutilation and murder of a renegade was very vividly written, and was a superb example of how to set up a dark, threatening atmosphere and to maintain it.
Later in the book, there is a protracted torture sequence which I could not tear myself away from. It shows the occultists at their savage, vicious, depraved worst, and may well be too powerful for some.
Overall, there is an undercurrent of eroticism which is cleverly worked in, and adds to the power of the whole novel.
I found 'The Enchanter's Torment' to be one of the most absorbing books I have read in recent months, and I cannot recommend it too highly.

This is a great general resource for people, and especially students, interested in the social sciences. The area of Political Economy defines a broad subject matter incorporating economics, political science, sociology and History (at least), from a leftist point of view. There are excellent essays on topics relating to each of these areas that have helped me understand, at long last, those college classes I took oh, so long ago. I wrote the essay on the Informal Sector, but there are over 300 other essays that are really worth looking at. Each essay has a short list of publications in the field that can help jump-start a more in-depth research project.

This was Wylie's last book, and like Twain before him, he was extremely pessimistic about the future of the human race. THE END OF THE DREAM is about inevitable world-wide environmental apocalypse, shortly after the turn of the millennium, in the year 2023. In style and format, it is a predecessor to John Brunner's STAND ON ZANZIBAR and THE SHEEP LOOK UP. Written in a semi-historical, looking backward viewpoint, the storyline follows the exploits of one Miles Smythe, one of society's 'movers and shakers', as he attempts to stave-off various ecological disasters and prepare a safe retreat for the survivors of the imminent world-wide disaster to come. Along the way Wylie postulates fastfood that kills, deadly mutated life-forms, and the spread of new diseases. A must-read for Doomsday aficionados
