Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

3 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

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.

4 out of 5 stars 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.

      Book Description

      The Little Nugget is one of the novels in which Wodehouse found his feet, a comic thriller set in an English prep school for the children of the nobility and gentry. Into their midst comes eleven-year-old Ogden Ford, the mouthy, overweight, chain-smoking son of an American millionaire. Ogden (whom we meet again in Piccadilly Jim) is the object of a kidnap attempt which forms the basis of the plot. The comedy arises from Wodehouse's favourite topics of Anglo-American misunderstanding and the absurdities of school life.

Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - If the management of the Hotel Guelph, that London landmark, could have been present at three o'clock one afternoon in early January in the sitting-room of the suite which they had assigned to Mrs Elmer Ford, late of New York, they might well have felt a little aggrieved. Philosophers among them would possibly have meditated on the limitations of human effort; for they had done their best for Mrs Ford. They had housed her well. They had fed her well. They had caused inspired servants to anticipate her every need. Yet here she was, in the midst of all these aids to a contented mind, exhibiting a restlessness and impatience of her surroundings that would have been noticeable in a caged tigress or a prisoner of the Bastille. She paced the room. She sat down, picked up a novel, dropped it, and, rising, resumed her patrol. The clock striking, she compared it with her watch, which she had consulted two minutes before. She opened the locket that hung by a gold chain from her neck, looked at its contents, and sighed. Finally, going quickly into the bedroom, she took from a suit-case a framed oil-painting, and returning with it to the sitting-room, placed it on a chair, and stepped back, gazing at it hungrily. Her large brown eyes, normally hard and imperious, were strangely softened. Her mouth quivered.

      4 out of 5 stars Gold in the rough.......2007-07-05

      Peter Burns, at the insistence of his fiancée Cynthia, sets out to kidnap Ogden Ford, son of an American millionaire, and return the boy to the custody of his doting mother. Knowing Ogden will soon be arriving at Sanstead House, an English preparatory school, Burns secures a teaching post there. However, Burns is not the only one attempting to kidnap Ogden. Rival criminals Buck MacGinnis and Smooth Sam Fisher are both trying to get hold of the boy. To further complicate matters, the school's butler is a Pinkerton's detective in disguise and the woman who jilted Burns five years earlier is also employed at Sanstead House.

      I quite enjoyed this comical thriller. The story is light-hearted and full of amusing characters and humorous situations. But this is not a typical Wodehouse farce. At times, the book is somber as the protagonist engages in self-examination. There are some beautiful yet poignant reflections on being in love. The story climaxes with a rather suspenseful chase sequence complete with gunplay. As a long-time Wodehouse reader, I found these differences in both style and content refreshing.

      Although the book may lack the polished wit and sparkling prose of Wodehouse's later works, "The Little Nugget" is still a gem.

      5 out of 5 stars What Makes It Different Makes It Good.......2006-12-11

      The Little Nugget was my first experience with PGW, and I've since gone on to read several more. More serious in its nature than any of the other Wodehouse's I've ever read, Nugget is still a hillarious story--if not more wistful in the romance section. Smooth Sam Fisher is possibly the most likable villain I have ever read--every section with him had me rolling. While this might not be the best place to start, this is still an excellent novel and a humorous, easy read.

      4 out of 5 stars The Inimitable Wodehouse.......2006-08-22

      However happy your mood, reading a Wodehouse book will turn it up a notch. The early Wodehouse novels are no exception. "The Little Nugget" is funny, exciting, and romantic. It doesn't have as many memorable lines as a Jeeves and Wooster story, but it's definitely worth reading and is very interesting to those of us who have already read and re-read "The Inimitable Jeeves."

      2 out of 5 stars Not A Typical Wodehouse Story.......2006-08-02

      Part of the fun of P. G. Wodehouse's stories is that even when you know where the characters will end up, it is usually by a path which is unpredictable. Unfortunately, that isn't true in the case of "The Little Nugget". While the story does have a few curves in it, compared to a typical Wodehouse it is a veritable straight line. The book is divided into two parts. The first is very short, and introduces the character of Ogden Ford, i.e. The Little Nugget, and his mother Nesta, as well as her associates which lead us to the narrator of the second part of the book, Peter Burns. Peter has been asked by his fiancée Cynthia (who works for Nesta Ford) to kidnap Ogden from the school in which his father has placed him, and deliver The Little Nugget to his mother.

      While there are a few moments in the story, in general it just doesn't measure up to the other Wodehouse stories that I have read. In particular it pales compared to "Piccadilly Jim", which sees the return of Ogden and his mother, but in a different setting and with a much more entertaining plot full of twists and turns. In particular, this is not a good choice for someone unfamiliar with Wodehouse, as they would miss out on what a typical Wodehouse story is like.

      This is an early Wodehouse book, first being published on August 28, 1913 by Methuen & Co. London. In the U.S., it was first published on February 10, 1914 by W. J. Watt and Company. This edition is part of The Collector's Wodehouse series published by Overlook Press in the U.S., and in the U.K. it is known as The Everyman Wodehouse series published by Everyman's Library. This title is not part of one of Wodehouse's series, although as mentioned before there are characters that appear in a later book.

      4 out of 5 stars Bot a Wooster style story, but an enjoyable read.......2003-12-17

      The Little Nugget was Agatha Christie's favourite Wodehouse - a choice Wodehouse himself was offended by (as he felt she was not keeping up to date with his latest works). The book contains traces of the "school" genre of writing (e.g "The Pothunters") with its school and setting and gangster involvement. There is also a romantic storyline - unlike the humorous romances of the Wodehouse's later works (the various struggles of the later Blandings books, or the Wooster romances) this has a slightly more serious tone to it - a reminder that Wodehouse wrote for Mills and Boon in his time. The humour, though undoubtedly something different from the polished Jeeves and Wooster dialogue is still very good, and the character of the "little Nugget" is well captured in all his repulsiveness. Indeed his reappearance in "Picadilly Jim" builds on this story - and shows Wodehouses recognition that this was a good comic character that could be developed further. Overall, those whose previous experience of Wodehouse has been Wooster or Lord Emsworth may find themselves a little shocked by the different tone here, but it is a good story with occasional flashes of inspiration in the dialogue. I would not agree with Agatha

It's an easy read--not intimidating in the least--and will set the tone. many times through humor to help make a good speech even better. I use it in my public speaking courses at a local university, and the students get alot out of this little book.Hoff's accounts are a "must have" if you want to improve public speaking skills. In just a few words, he is able to empower you with a "can do" attitude--and reap the rewards of being an effective communicator.

I use it in my public speaking courses at a local university, and the students get alot out of this little book. Hoff's accounts are a "must have" if you want to improve public speaking skills. In just a few words, you are empowered with a "can do" attitude--and will reap the rewards of being a more effective communicator.

        5 out of 5 stars Our absolute favorite book!.......2005-07-10

        This is a cute little board book of baby faces. On each page it lists an emotion matching the baby's expression. "Happy, keep on smiling. Sad, let's wipe away those tears." Both of my daughters love this book. My seven-month-old smiles every time I read it to her. My 2-year-old has it memorized and reads it all the time. This is a perfect baby shower gift -- it's not as well known as some of the other books out there, but no one will be disappointed. It is our absolute favorite book!

        5 out of 5 stars easy for small hands to read.......1999-05-23

        my 7 month old daughter loves this book along with Baby Sports, Baby Numbers, and Baby Letters. The books are small and fit into her hands easily, and she loves to look at the pictures of the little babies. I can take these books anywhere.

            4 out of 5 stars Cute .......2005-10-12

            Cute, just not spectacular or particularly inventive, In the Garden is part of the Baby Dinosaurs set, introducing very young readers to their first words. Nouns are highlighted in this book, and each noun is pictured on a page with a brightly colored, Barney-like dinosaur. It seems like a bit of jumping on the bandwagon and my youngest Barney fan friend is unimpressed. It is a board book, and sturdy, which is a nice thing for the not so nimble fingers of toddlers.

            1 out of 5 stars Waste of money.......2002-11-23

            I recently ordered Pat the Bunny In the Garden Board Book for my daughter. She had the paper editions of Pat the Bunny, Pat the Cat and Pat the Puppy and has enjoyed them so much they are tattered. When I saw the In the Garden edition I thought it would be a perfect addition to her library. We live in Germany so I must order all books off of the internet and do not have an opportunity to look at them before I make a purchase. Needless to say I was more than disappointed when the book arrived. As it states on the back cover of the book "Pat the Bunny is recognized as the most important first book for baby's early development. Its unique interactive and sensory approach helps stimulate a baby's developing mind." The only thing interactive about this book is the first page with the bunny fur. There is absolutely no other type of interactive stimulation in this book. The makers of this book have taken advantage of the popularity of Pat the Bunny in order to make a profit on a newer product that does not even attempt to live up to the claims made on the back cover. This is a pathetic excuse of "a unique interactive and sensory approach". The story itself is nice but to pass it off under the name of Pat the Bunny just for the recognition factor is inexcusable.

            4 out of 5 stars A delightful book for toddlers........1999-06-10

            "In the Garden" by Mark Haddon is a charming introduction to "first words" for toddlers. Each page contains a colorful smiling baby dinosaur participating in an activity with a one-word subtitle of the action. (For example, a bright blue triceratops clutching a bunch of carrots while happily munching on one of them, highlights the word, "carrots.") The sturdy cardboard stock construction makes the book easy for little hands to grasp and turn the pages. This book is by far my 2 1/2-year-old daughter's favorite bedtime story, as she eagerly helps her daddy identify exactly what those baby dinosaurs are doing .

              This is a wonderful book my daughter of three giggles every time I read it to her! She has started to notice every kiss and makes a name out of it. It is so cute I highly recommend this book very easy reading. Great bedtime story!

              5 out of 5 stars Wonderfully warm and affectionate children's book........1998-04-22

              This is our 15 month old daughter's favorite book before bedtime (She gets a kiss at the turn of every page). The artwork is soft and appealing. When she "reads" it to herself, she kisses the cute little animals on the page. Our copy is even durable enough to survive a few accidental dunks in the tub (made out of that solid cardboard stuff). "Kisses" allows a parent the ability to bond one-on-one with their child in a caring and affectionate way. Of course, my wife and I believe that any positive time that your child spends in front of a book at an early age is to their benefit.
