5 out of 5 stars The Definative Primer on Labyrinths.......2005-07-25

The labyrinth is one of those symbols that have been found in almost every sacred tradition, from pre-historic to Grace Cathedral San Francsco. Unfortunately the richness of this symbol is not yet realized in the current rebirth of labyrinth popularity.

This book is the masterwork that shows the depth and diversity found in the tradition of the sacred path. LThe labyrinth story is told through many photographs of labyrinths from all cultures and belief systems. Especially fascinating are the classical Roman and Greek labyrinths, litte known great cathedral labyrinths, Hebraic labyrinths, Native American labyrinths, Hindi labyrinths.... I suppose you have the idea by now. The labyrith is a part of everyone's cultural and faith heritage. Find your's in this magnificent tome.

4 out of 5 stars The Labyrinth Bible.......2003-12-21

This book is known by general consent as the "Labyrinth Bible" -the ultimate tool for the knowledge of the history and meaning of such a mysterious symbol.
Written by German lawyer and art historian Hermann Kern as a catalogue for a labyrinth exhibition hold at Milan, Italy, in 1981 this encyclopedic work covers the social and cultural world panorama from pre-history to modern times; the new English version is enriched with a new chapter by North-American expert Robert Ferré on modern labyrinth revival and with addenda written by British specialist Jeff Saward.
The cyclopic knowledge Hermann Kern shows in this complex, bewildering and paradoxical subject sounds sometimes ambivalent (like the symbol itself) but the book as a whole is a very good and important resource to understand the entangled complexity of this millenary symbol; with an almost thorough black-and-white catalogue (enriched with some magnificent colored photographs) of the most historical labyrinths known up to the 20th century; in addition to this the author approaches the several questions that baffle the labyrinth study like the origin of its conceptual idea or its symbolic meaning.
Historically the book is an impressive research from classical authors until recent geographical findings all over the world. However, his rationalistic approach misses the poetical (and potential) "Weltanschauung" needed to penetrate into the enlightened knowledge which transcends space, cultural concrete applications and time; besides this particular aspect this new version would deserve a better translation.
We, scholars, artists, researchers and enthusiasts are all indebted to Hermann Kern (as well as to Robert Ferré and Jeff Saward) for this (en)cyclopic work, which opened doors leading into the exciting field of further research.

4 out of 5 stars World's greatest labyrinth compendium.......2000-03-01

A museum curator, Hermann Kern spent six years researching labyrinths for an exhibition in Italy in 1980. He then expanded that information and assembled the most complete compendium of labyrinth information ever assembled, from history to the modern era. Published by Prestel, a company in Munich, Germany, that specializes in art books, this compendium was available only in German until the current English edition, which took three years to translate and update. New material has been added to cover discoveries and contemporary labyrinths of the last 20 years, making this the most complete presentation of labyrinth information anywhere. It contains hundreds of photos. Granted, Hermann Kern is quite opinionated and confident of his opinions. Nevertheless, any serious labyrinth enthusiast should own this book. I rate it four rather than five stars because, except for a color section in the beginning, all of the photos are in black and white.

    Book Description

    It is not likely that anyone has restored and maintained as many gardens as has Graham Stuart Thomas. And what gardens they are: at the castles, such as Powis, Scotney, and Sizergh; the parks, such as Sheffield, Tatton, and Stourhead; and at much-visited gems such as Hidcote Manor, Sissinghurst, and Snowshill. These are a few of the hundred or so garden properties in care of the National Trust for which he was responsible during 18 years as its horticultural advisor.

    In The Garden Through the Year Thomas offers not only his vast
    experience on behalf of the National Trust with plants that performed reliably and well, but also the discerning eye of one who filled his own small garden with the best of everything.

      I enjoyed her collection of thoughts, quotes, and information and how it was compiled for each week. Very easy to follow for prayer and meditation. When I sit out in the gardens, this book is usually at my side...and is beginning to look a wee bit ragged.

Yet with continuing interest in gardening and crafts, this elegant form of self-expression is enjoying a fresh vogue among celebrities and other prominent people worldwide.

                  Pretty pictures, excellent photography, lots of neat things to look at, visually stimulating--this is a great book to leave out as a conversation piece. Or to thumb through before bed, very relaxing!

                  But as far as the knowledge dispersed, it is nothing new. Or maybe I just know my percales and thread counts and different fill fibers better than the average shopper?

                  Like the average shopper even cares?

                      Description:
                      In this study we focus our attention on a strategy to deal with packed-bed catalytic reactors in order to present an alternative methodology for the derivation of a new explicit equation for the determination of apparent kinetics coefficients for first order reactions. The Ozdural-Alkan methodology, originally used in membrane separations, was followed during the analytical solution of the governing PDE of the system whose solution have resulted the explicit equation sought. The apparent kinetics coefficients obtained through the above-mentioned explicit equation were compared and verified with the numerical solution results of the same system where two different numerical techniques were employed independently. It was concluded that the proposed equation successfully predicts the apparent first order kinetics coefficient in recycling packed-bed catalytic reactors with the use of a single reservoir concentration measurement and the corresponding time data.

                        Description:
                        Water supplies in the Middle East arid climate are a scarce commodity making treated wastewater an economically attractive source for increasing the limited existing water resources for agricultural purposes. In order to minimize water losses with the corresponding increased salinity and to reduce land demand, an integrated system based mainly on high-rate semi-intensive treatment units is being tested and demonstrated. The units include an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor and vertical and horizontal flow wetlands. The units are characterized by simple and low-cost maintenance with minimal energy input. Three years of pilot plant results from the combined system are presented in this paper. The results show a high organic removal rate for the combined system: 140g COD/m^2/day for the scheme, which included a UASB reactor followed by two PAVB units and subsurface horizontal flow CW. Even higher rates of 900g COD/m^2/day were achieved for the same scheme by replacing the final CWL with another PAVB unit. These high rates allow for a small treatment plant footprint equivalent to 0.13-0.9m^2 per person, assuming 125g COD per person per day.
