Book Description

If one night, in a dream, you were invited to go to Siberia to find and translate some mystical tablets, would you actually go?

Carol Hiltner did. And her beautifully written and illustrated journal is both an intimate diary and a rollicking travelogue. She not only deals with bears and lightning, but also with profound personal dramas: mother/daughter separation, rekindling of sacred sexuality, personal health, and crises of trust.

If you are a woman seeking Spirit, or a man who loves such women, this is a "must read" of the compelling real-life genre of Shirley MacLaine, James Twymann, Lynn Andrews, and Carlos Castenada.

This is the first book of The Altai Chronicles trilogy.

Not for me.......2007-03-02

I'm a sucker for anything to do with the Altai so I started reading this book with anticipation. By the middle I was sure it was contrived and phony. By the end I had a bad taste in my mouth. I probably will not read anything by Hiltner again.

Incredible learning adventure of Divine Masculine/Divine Feminine .......2006-05-21

I recently finished reading Tablets of Light. This incredibly intimate adventure reminded me of The Celestine Prophecy a la Russia with a heavy dose of the best understanding I've ever read on the balance between the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine.

Author Carol Hiltner relays how she was called to the Altai Mountains in the depths of Siberia. Her story takes us on a physical journey which is mirrored by a spiritual overlay taking us deep into her transformative soul growth process. The art work is indescribably inspirational as well.

I can not recommend this book enough!! Carol is to be commended for barring she Heart and her personal relationship discoveries to us. This is a book has a deep Universal appeal of empowerment.

I'm usually reading anywhere from 8 to 10 books at a time. I was delighted to put all of the rest of them on hold while reading this gem.

Zealously recommended reading for all dedicated students.......2003-04-08

The Altai Chronicles: Tablets Of Light is the metaphysical journey of Carol Hiltner, a woman who was called in a dream to the sacred mountains of Altai. Carol's duty was to open an interdimensional door and translate the "Tablets of Light" for the benefit of all humanity. Carol's unique quest is faithfully and accurately recounted in this impressive and candid blend of autobiography and metaphysics that transcends human phases of existence. Enhanced with Carol's inspired artwork, The Altai Chronicles: Tablets Of Light is the first volume of the Altai Chronicles trilogy and zealously recommended reading for all dedicated students of metaphysics and spirituality.

A POOR THING BUT MINOAN.......2004-02-14

Joking aside, this is an absolutely wonderful book. How many people it will appeal to I have no idea. On the one hand it is not going to rival Tolkien or J K Rowling for sales. On the other hand as scholarly revolutions, and scholarly controversies, go it is one of the famous ones, and one that in its time made banner newspaper headlines.

This is the second edition of a book that had to be extensively rewritten because the evidence was pouring in even as the author wrote the work. Palmer had been very quick to support the decipherment, by a young amateur Michael Ventris, of the Linear B tablets found both on the Greek mainland and at the Palace of Minos at Cnossos on Crete, famously excavated by Sir Arthur Evans, as being in the Greek language. This had a radical impact on the history (or prehistory) of the Bronze Age in Greece, because if these tablets are Greek it is patently impossible to suppose that the Greek invasion of Crete took place at some later date. As recast, the book now takes us through the decipherment process, the identification and location of the Mycenaean fortress of Pylos on the south-west Peloponnese, the early history of Crete and finally the origin of the Greeks themselves and a theory of the nature of the Linear A tablets, which Palmer believes to be in the Anatolian Indo-European language Luvian. This was, at least, the position in 1965. I have been out of touch with the issue since then, but whatever refinements have been made in subsequent scholarship, this book surely represents a watershed second only to the work of Ventris himself.

It is a book for scholars (some of whom clearly need it badly) but also for a certain type of lay reader. Palmer concedes that the book is to some extent demanding, but I would ascribe that more to the amount of detail than to anything else, and the detail is largely a matter of a plethora of place-names which can be followed from the maps. There is also a great deal of detail regarding the interpretation of the archaeological evidence. This should in fact be intelligible and enjoyable to anyone who enjoys following a good advocate's reasoning - Palmer himself uses the analogy of his readers as a jury at several points. Greek words and names are given in Roman script, and in general Palmer's vast learning is carried lightly and presented with skill and tact. As I remember him from real life, his mind is a little bit quick for mine and I sometimes had to scramble to keep abreast of the steps of his reasoning, but in general he is clear enough. He is careful not to burden the reader with excessive philological detail in particular, but I suspect a footnote about `labio-velars' would actually have helped readers puzzled about how i-qo becomes `hippos' the Greek for a horse, and it would not have hurt to let out that the syllable shared by the words for `and' and `four' is `te'.

What made the book famous of course, is that in some places it flatly contradicts Evans based on the evidence of Evans himself and his collaborator Mackenzie. This is what produced the newspaper features claiming that Palmer had debunked Evans. In fact one should expect that, although Palmer, as if butter would not melt in his mouth, claims innocently that in fact Evans made two compensating errors and thus arrived not far off the truth. What it also produced was some scholarship of the worst kind in some quarters. Challenges to Ventris's decipherment had already been mounted, which is perfectly fair to that extent but which should not have descended to attacks on his integrity without very good evidence indeed. Palmer himself came under some knee-jerk straight-into-denial attack from a colleague at Oxford, the posthumous apostle of Evans. I never saw a better in-fighter than Palmer. He is afraid of nobody and nobody upsets him. The calm serious academic manner never deserts him and he is all the more effective for it.

I wonder where it has all gone since 1965, but I'll be surprised if this book is not still the major monument along the road. In this highly favourable assessment you will of course bear in mind that my teacher was, well, Palmer.

Book Description

This book explains the structure and outline of Hong Kong's equity markets, and examines Hong Kong's rising prominence (ranked sixth largest in the world) and importance as a financial centre in the region. It details the workings of the equity market system, covering the basics of all the major derivatives, and gives a brief overview of its other regional contemporary markets. Hong Kong's equity market has changed beyond all recognition over the last decade. The rise of China and East Asia has fuelled tremendous growth in this market. In the last two years alone, the market capitalisation of stocks traded in The Stock exchange of Hong Kong (SEHK) has grown by almost 100%. This growth, reflecting both the appreciation of existing stock values and a flood of new listing, is expected to continue as the PRC develops in to a world economic power. The rising volumes of trading and recent flurry of 'H' share listings and other PRC-backed stocks, is also indicative of the PRC's commitment to establish Hong Kong as the centre of its financial system. Hong Kong's mantle as the financial

Book Description

Yeasts have a longstanding history as domesticated organisms. The brewing of beer and wine and the leavening of bread dough are well-known ‘artisanal’ applications of yeast. These early examples of yeast biotechnology have clearly contributed to the acceptance of yeasts, both as biotechnological workhorses and as model systems for the detailed understanding of eukaryotic molecular cell biology and genetics.

In recent years, new yeast species have proven their value and novel biotechnological applications have emerged. This book compiles the multi-faceted genetic repertoire of several yeasts relevant to modern biotechnology, and describes their utilization in research and application in the light of their genetic make-up and physiological characteristics. Moreover, the book presents a thorough overview of a wide array of methodologies from classical genetics to modern genomics technologies that have been and are being used in functional analysis of yeasts.

Book Description

This book addresses the role of cooperation, networks and institutions in the context of regional innovation systems. It emphasizes the importance of these factors in the emergence of local innovation systems, using detailed examples of clusters which have reached different stages of maturity.

The authors address the topic from an empirical, theoretical and political perspective, and highlight the local mechanisms which are involved in the development of innovation systems. They offer a comprehensive overview of different approaches in the field and present numerous case studies which stress the influence of networks and local institutions. Significantly, they also introduce several new approaches to regional innovation systems, including contributions which explicitly discuss the design and potential of policy measures to promote regional development. The policy recommendations are based on sound theorizing which, in turn, is based on extensive empirical research.

Book Description

This volume provides a collection of theoretical articles and empirical studies on innovation and location by focusing on the institutions and systems that mediate knowledge spillovers. The objective is to provide an international comparison using a variety of approaches. The volume is organized around the three themes. The first focuses on theoretical work that attempts to advance our understanding of knowledge externalities and systems on innovation. The second section provides empirical studies that attempt to measure these impacts. The final section considers future challenges to regional economic development policy in the face of economic integration and globalization.

See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

A scholar's triumph, too........2000-05-04

The texts of many Eighteenth Century books are full of interpolations by printers and may contain thousands of edits by the author, too. What Dr. Brack has done is to identify and evaluate EVERY variant to assemble a DEFINITIVE TEXT. He's spent a lifetime tracking down what Smollett actually wrote. If you want to know what Smollet wrote, and not his printer, read an edition that Dr. Brack has collated. These volumes are triumphs of scholarship as well as a service to readers.

A Baby In A Silk Hat Playing With Dynomite........2000-01-13

I read this book for the first time over 20 years ago, and I must admit it shaped my life. When I have kids (twin boys preferably) I will see to it that Machiavelli's Prince, and Smollet's Fathom are mandatory reading.

Fathom-the penultimate candy stealer!.......1998-10-22

As you are lead through the life and adventures of FCF, you realize just how villanous a handsone dandy can be. Whistling as he makes love to your daughter so as not to let on that he is picking the lock on your safe with a toothpick between his toes definately displays a sense of arrogance that one must admire!
