Mit der "Reise nach Ixtlan" beendete der amerikanische Anthropologe Carlos Castaneda - er starb 1998 - den ungewöhnlichen Bericht über seine zehnjährige Lehrzeit bei dem indianischen Medizinmann und Zauberer Don Juan Matus, der ihn in eine Welt jenseits von Rationalität und Realität unserer westlichen Zivilisation führte. Während im Mittelpunkt der ersten beiden Zyklen seiner Unterweisungen "Die Lehren des Don Juan" und "Eine andere Wirklichkeit" noch die Versuche standen, unter der Anleitung seines alten Schamanen und Freundes die geheimnisvolle Welt der Yaqui-Zauberer mit Hilfe psychotroper Pflanzen zu ergründen, um ein "Männ des Wissens" zu werden, so sind es jetzt seine Bemühungen, in jene neuen Wirklichkeits- und Bewußtseinsebenen der "Anderen Realität" ohne jegliche Hilfsmittel vorzudringen. Er lernt den faszinierenden und mühsamen Weg eines "Mannes der Macht" zu gehen, wobei "Macht" nicht Macht über andere Men...

Companion book to the compelling new documentary film of a motor sports hero Sir Jack Brabham was unique in the world of motor racing. He was the boy from Sydney who took on the elite of motor racing and won three F1 world championships, the last one in a car not only built by his own Brabham company, but with an Australian engine he'd helped develop. To those who saw him on the podium, Jack Brabham might have seemed glorious and triumphant. But he was also a man of secrets. He shunned the media, rarely using 'two words when none would do'. He kept vital information from his competitors, his team mates - and his family. It led to unrivalled success. It led to wealth too, much of it hidden around the world. But it also left a trail of hurt and bewilderment ... In this first ever book-length biography of Jack Brabham, his extraordinary accomplishments are laid out with new commentary from his rivals, colleagues, employees and long-time engineering partner Ron Tauranac. And,...

Be inspired by scientific endeavour, from the earliest times to the information age. Science explains discoveries in plain English, from the geometry of the ancient Greeks to quantum physics. Accompanied by lavish illustrations and diagrams throughout, you will learn about gravity, string theory, antibiotics, in vitro fertilisation (IVF), and much, much more. This indispensable volume presents the search for truth by showing how one discovery led to another. The Mesopotamians' invention of the wheel more than 5,000 years ago, for example, led to gears and then a variety of mechanisms from clocks to engines, disk drives, and even the electric toothbrush. What do they all have in common? They all rely on an internal wheel to keep them moving. Science also reveals eureka moments in scientific history, such as inventing the light bulb or creating a vaccination for the first time, and presents pioneers including Galileo Galilei, Alan Turing, and Marie Curie. Suitable for the whole famil...

Studies prove that positive thinkers are happier, healthier, and more successful than everyone else. Discover the simple, proven techniques for becoming a more positive person... Positive thinking leads to positive outcomes. Study after study proves this. Researchers have found that optimistic people live longer, live healthier, have more energy, have more successful careers, make better decisions, are more productive, are less stressed, have healthier relationships, and (not surprisingly) are much happier than pessimists. However, a lot has been misunderstood about what it means to be a positive thinker and what it takes to maintain an optimistic mindset. It takes a lot more than repeating feel-good platitudes to make positive thinking work in your life.

This is a book for anyone who has ever questioned whether positive thinking really ...

In this groundbreaking work of science, history, and archaeology, Charles C. Mann radically alters our understanding of the Americas before the arrival of Columbus in 1492. Contrary to what so many Americans learn in school, the pre-Columbian Indians were not sparsely settled in a pristine wilderness; rather, there were huge numbers of Indians who actively molded and influenced the land around them. The astonishing Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan had running water and immaculately clean streets, and was larger than any contemporary European city. Mexican cultures created corn in a specialized breeding process that it has been called man's first feat of genetic engineering. Indeed, Indians were not living lightly on the land but were landscaping and manipulating their world in ways that we are only now beginning to understand. Challenging and surprising, this a transformative new look at a rich and fascinating world we only thought we knew. Produc...
