Okay, the book is "interesting". But unless you really understand a lot of scientific mumbo jumbo, this book is a guaranteed sleep agent. I enjoyed reading about the strange stories and what not, but, honestly, I could have read them in a Time-Life book. Some are stories that everyone already knows about (Philadelphia Experiment). Some of the diagrams are pretty cheesy. One supposedly is a "time machine", but looks like a baby walker. Please! Most of the "scientific" data is nothing but a bunch of photocopies of other people's work. This book is in no way a "manual" for anything. You won't learn how to time travel. Save your money. Or you can buy mine cheap.

This book, starts out as a pretty dry read concerning the physics of time travel. This is alright, since the concept is pretty deep, but is better covered by a physicist like Paul Davies, in his book "About Time". The science part reads like a college term paper rather than an interesting portrayal of the science. Then again, we're not buying it to learn about Einstein, are we? No, we want to see about time travel!
Once past the science stuff, we begin to see what 'paranormal' or unexplained events may indicate time travellers. U.F.O.'s is a common theme here, although I'm surprised Childress, who does seem to discuss everything, didn't talk about people purportedly appearing from nowhere. These cases are well documented, and certainly related to the idea of 'time travel'. That aside, he displays some nice photographic and illustrated documentation of U.F.O.'s, starting with the late 19th century. This continues, including Rastafarian Time Travellers. It goes on into the Philidelphia Experiment and how it may relate to time travel. Then, into some people's unfounded claims of either a.) being a time traveller b.) channeling time travellers c.) finding time capsules supposedly left by time travellers, etc. The section on 'Seth' (of 'Seth Speaks' fame) was particularly painful, nearly equal to the lengthy babblings concerning the 'Wingmakers', (look it up on the internet). Later, the book goes into some patents, and ends up with an excellent re-iteration of an actual, verified teleportation performed in California-perhaps the only truly verifiable evidence in this book.
Aside from these difficulties, it really has quite a few photographs and drawings of time machines, either patent ideas or left by 'time travellers'. A few amusing cartoons are included, and it does go into depth (as much as is possible) to speculation of actual work on space-time related projects. Fun to read? Read Well's 'Time Machine' for that (which I was surprised and disappointed Childress did not find some connection to allow him to speculate Wells was writing from first-hand experience). It is a nice collection of the 'time travel' theories, ideas, and purported events in existence to the public today, and for that it is worth a purchase.

I'm blown away. This is the first book I purchased on time travel. I was actually looking for a book on wormholes, and this was the closest (and best rated) that I could find. I feel foolish now to think that I was just looking for a book on one tiny subject in a gargantuan field.

This book covers so much, it is difficult to swallow. The first section deals with theoretical physics concepts like general and special relativity. These concepts are explained well, for the most part. There are some shortcomings in the editing (like using a term before defining it, and not providing an index or glossary of terms), but it wasn't so bad that it became incomprehensible.

From there, it moves to application of these concepts, The Philadelphia Experiment, and much more. I'm only about half-way through the book, but so far, it just keeps getting better and better. The portions on current research into vertical timelines and defying our conventional perception of physical space are mind-blowing. Even if this book is a complete lie, it is an amazingly well thought-out and thoroughly supported one! Highly recommended. (Don't let the embarrassingly stupid cover or laughable typography fool you, the content is completely professional and fascinating.)

The authors rely quite a bit on pictures drawn by an ancient culture, and not enough on physical evidence. If a future civilization were to discover a picture of the Flintstones, with both human and dinosaur characters, a similar book might be written claiming that dinosaurs lived in our time.

Not what I expected. I was able to finish it in 2 hours. I really thought that more evidence would be presented to build a strong case for modern day dinosaurs.

Mystery In Acambaro is a detailed and illustrated account of an unusual collection of ceramic figures discovered and assembled by the late Waldemar Julsrud in Acambaro, Mexico. If authentic, some of the figures would seem to indicate that dinosaurs survived in that part of the world into fairly recent times. This clay figures depict bizarre animals and scenes that don't fit neatly into traditional archaeology and paleontology theory, and therefore have been sumarily dismissed by mainstream scholarship as an elaborate hoax. But both Hapgood and Earle Stanley Gardner were convinced that the Acambaro figures were authentic artifacts, with very important implications for our understanding of dinosaurs and Central American human history. Highly recommended, challenging, controversial, very thought provoking reading.

The Free-Energy Device Handbook is less a handbook for the would be inventor and more a collection of various ideas, patents and whatever else the author could use to fill this 'book.' Inside you will find some theory, historical oddities and many re-printed magazine articles. There are a few designs for devices included but don't expect any kind of instructions, I didn't see any. The cost of return shipping requires keeping this book, it was cheep but why spend more? My advice is this: keep looking for better references and use your own ideas, there aren't any in here!

Geek science. The author is clueless of basic high school level physics. Its possible, although unlikely, that some 10 year old will one day explain the concept of the laws of thermodynamics to this guy. Perpetual motion machines are garden variety frauds, the only money they make is from the losers who line up to buy this particular brand of snake oil.

Makes decent kindling though.

Bon appetite!

This is the best, and virtually only, book available on free energy motors. A great book on N-Machines, The Adams Pulse Generator, Magnetic, Ether, Gravity, and other motors, and their concepts, are not generally known in the mainstream media. This is the most thorough, and up-to-date compendium on this fascinating subject! This is a compilation with lots of patents, diagrams, and scientific papers. Such devices appear to be very feasible. This is the book!

Lately, I have been trying to read everything I can on Tesla. I was intrigued by a special on one of the television networks. I had heard of Tesla before but didnt realize that he had accomplished so much in his life, or that he was fascinated with the signals he claimed to be receiving from outer space (possibly the planet Mars he thought). For this reason, you can imagine my disappointment on trying to gain any new knowledge from the pages of this tome. There is absolutely nothing new here. Its not even put together in a presentable format.Oh well, maybe others will get into this work. I guess I just could not!

This is not a very good book. It is simply a reprint of Tesla's early writings with some added comments and packaged to look like a new book. If you are interested in the subject, look for The Lost Journals of Nikola Tesla, which is a much better book with a lot of good info.

In The Tesla Papers, David Childress has compiled the writings of Nikola Tesla into a comprehensive, informative, and down right fascinating volume of material that provides background and insight into Tesla's amazing inventions. Divided into seven parts the reader is treated to Tesla: Humanitarian; The Problem of Increasing Human Energy; The Wireless Transmission of Power; Tesla's Electric Car; The Tesla Papers; Tesla's FBI Files; The Marconi-Tesla Trial Transcripts. The Tesla Papers is enhanced with some of the papers on Tesla's thoughts and work regarding wireless power, anti-gravity, robotics, free energy, advanced solar power system, patents, and material collected on Tesla at the Colorado Springs Tesla Symposium. The Tesla Papers is a "must" for all Nikola Tesla enthusiasts, as well as students of alternative science, iconoclastic technology, and suppressed history.

Get excited. Animate your voice. Use props. But nothing at all to back it up.

The tape is low quality and sounds like it was recorded at a bingo-hall during intermission.

Not only couldn't the host tell a good story, he seemed very amused with himself --for instance by uncontrollably giggling at his own jokes and antics--.

Shame on Mr. Hall and his publisher for marketing this tape!

Most of this audiobook appears to be an excerpt out of one Mr. Hall's seminars. The seminars might be good, but the audiobook is practically worthless. It provides basically no useful information, except for some simple common sense --- that a strong story, good props, and good voice make an effective storyteller. That info is nice, but the audiobook fails to tell you how to improve these key ingredients. Don't make the same mistake I did by buying this audiobook.
