A Jewish Guide to the Mysterious
Modern science is the most accurate lens of reality that humanity has developed so far. Science is crucial to humanity’s health, safety, and development. Still, the lens of science only “sees” a thin slice of the totality of existence. Much of the human experience cannot be simply explained by standard quantifiable tests. Many people have become aware of the limits and shortcomings of scientific knowledge and have also realized that our perpetual hunger for spiritual understanding is real and undeniable. Many of us sense that there is something beyond. Throughout various periods of history and various cultures and societies, people have been interested in the mysterious and the paranormal. This yearning is rooted in the soul’s search for true spirituality. A Jewish Guide to the Mysterious, written by one of contemporary Judaism’s leading scholars and teachers, clearly explains classic Torah views on intriguing phenomena, such as dreams, astrology, time travel, alien life, reincarnation, ESP and auras, angels, demons, ghosts, and even such topics as the lost city of Atlantis and the Bermuda Triangle. Read this fascinating book and be amazed.
Thy Father’s Instruction
The Nuremberg Miscellany [Germanisches Nationalmuseum Nürnberg, Bibliothek, 8° Hs. 7058 (Rl. 203)] is a unique work of scribal art and illumination.

L'Histoire secrète de l'astrologie
Huit degrés. Tel est l'écart angulaire observé entre les coordonnées astrales référencées sur les premiers horoscopes de l'Histoire et le point vernal. Ce dernier devait pourtant servir à déterminer le point de départ du zodiaque depuis les origines de l'astrologie selon les défenseurs de l'horoscopie saisonnière. Or, jamais le moindre horoscope ne fut calculé à partir du point vernal jusqu'à la décennie 830, alors que les astrologues alexandrins étaient censés s'appuyer, selon la légende, sur les travaux d'Hipparque ou de Ptolémée ! Aussi, dans la mesure où les règles de l'astrologie furent établies à partir du référentiel des étoiles fixes, l'idée même qu'elle...
Urban Historical Geography
Originally published in 1988, this book provides a fascinating comparative review of research in urban historical geography in Britain and West Germany. It draws together a wide range of material on the history of urban development to explore the theoretical and methodological possibilities offered by comparative surveys of contrasting national and regional urban expenses. The chronological focus of the essays ranges in time from the medieval period onwards, and the contributors explore not only the specifically intellectual consequences of their empirical research, but also its policy implications for urban planners and conservationists. Serious extended comparative debate has hitherto been absent from the field of urban historical geography as a whole: this volume sought to reverse that trend, and in so doing to establish a fresh research agenda for an important and expanding discipline.
