Richard Camden, a graduate student, journeys to Egypt to search for the truth about myths and legends that have been swirling around the Great Pyramid for centuries. His goal is to separate myth from fact and legend from reality. Was the Great Pyramid built by an antediluvian king to memorialize a tremendous cataclysm that resulted in the Great Flood? Had the king, in anticipation of the upcoming destruction, placed accounts of all Earth history—in the forms of a terrestrial globe, celestial spheres, star charts, certain machines, and malleable glass—in the pyramid for preservation?But what should be a predictable, scholarly investigation turns into a mysterious and unpredictable journey when he teams with his puzzling and astonishing cab driver, Hordadef. Who is this mystifying figure, and how does he know secrets and details lost to the sands of time?Through the routine of a contracted tour, and the mundane day-to-day, Richard is guided in ways he could not have imagined to hidden knowledge he could only dream existed. And in the end, with the help of the ubiquitous Hordadef, his world is changed in ways as great and profound as the Pyramid he grows to know as deeply as his own soul.

Handbook of Plant Virus Diseases presents basic information about viral-caused and viral-like diseases in many cultivated crops. The editors, internationally known plant pathologists, provide authoritative descriptive symptomatic signatures of virus diseases, to aid in the diagnosis and possible control of viruses. This handbook organizes cultivated plants into groups according to their final destinations and uses after harvest-a useful grouping system that indicates that some diseases, their resultant epidemiology, and control measures are characteristic within different groups.

Plato's Timaeus is the most comprehensive argument in history for a universe devised and created by God; yet, paradoxically, it is probably the least understood of all the creation stories. No doubt this is because much of the argument is composed in mathematical and geometric terms that are cryptic and extremely difficult to follow. Still, Timaeus has been widely read and is much admired to this day, though it is still fraught with considerable difficulties of interpretation and understanding. In this book, the author provides detailed insights into Timaeus s mathematics and geometry, and finds in them a unified plan that underlies all of creation. This plan not only provides for the design of the universe, but it also guides its operations to this day. Thus, the plan is eternal and fundamental to the continued functioning of the universe, and it is something that can readily be discerned in our daily lives, from our measures of time and distance to our concepts of harmony and beauty all of which have their roots in mathematics and geometry.
