Millionaire Jan Palmer's fortunes abruptly change when the seal on an ancient Arabian copper jar is broken and a powerful and relentless evil is released - Zongri the Jinn. Imprisoned for thousands of years, Zongri has sworn that whoever sets him free will die. But when he fulfills this vow by slashing Professor Frobish in two, it is Jan Palmer, holding the bloody scimitar, who is caught by the police. For Jan, his problems have just begun: Zongri, before departing, curses him with ''Eternal Wakefulness.'' Locked in a prison cell, charged with murder, Jan comes to a horrible realization of what this means. As he drifts into slumber he finds himself in a strange world, one where humans rank below slaves, where evil Jinn reign and danger is all too real. On Earth he is Jan Palmer, imprisoned for murder, and in the land of the Jinn he is ''Tiger,'' the swashbuckling rogue - but in both, he faces death at every turn. Acclaimed as one of Hubbard's most powerful and timeless fantasy stories. ''A master of adventure.'' - Anne McCaffrey.

No civilized culture has failed to recognize the importance of education. And it is widely acknowledged that in today's fast-paced society, success depends on the ability to swiftlyunderstand and use information. What lies behind the crisis in education? Are some subjects simply hard to teach? Are some teachers just not good at imparting knowledge? The proposed solutions are as varied as the problems, but many are based on labeling students as unable to learn, instead of identifying the real failure. In researching the field of education over three decades, Ron examined theentire learning process, very much including the ability to apply what has been taught. He made what amounts to an historic and broad sweeping breakthrough, isolating the single common denominator to the diverse problems besettingall education. Rather than merely addressing a particular subject or branch of knowledge, he discovered a crucial undercut wholly omitted from educational systems since time immemorial. Specifically, there has never been an education in study itself. What Ron isolated and identified are the exact obstacles that denyunderstanding of any subject, or more specifically, the barriers to study. With the new knowledge of how these barriers are the cause of failed education and its many consequences, Ron developed a fully workable solution-what has become known as Study Technology. Here, then, is the first actual technology of how to study any subject or field of endeavor and gainthe ability to use and apply what has been learned.

In eighteenth-century Peru, a historic bridge connecting the cities of Cuzco and Lima collapses, plunging five people to their deaths. A Franciscan monk, Brother Juniper, witnesses the tragedy and embarks on a spiritual quest to reconcile free will versus fate and the existence of God in the victims' lives: "Why did this happen to those five people?"

Critically acclaimed, it remains a compelling literary classic exploring destiny, love, religion, and the meaning of life.

"Hart Crane may well remain as the greatest poet produced by America since Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson... His imaginative intensity, his flashes of imagery, his Elizabethan grandeur, make his rich blank verse eclipse most of the poetry written in English since Yeats." – Henri Peyre, New York TimesA key figure in American modernist poetry, Hart Crane (1899-1932) was a visionary American poet known for his rich, imagistic language and bold exploration of themes such as identity, spirituality, and human connection.His celebrated work, The Bridge, is an epic meditation on America, using the Brooklyn Bridge – metaphorically connecting America's past with its industrialized future of innovation, progress, and hope within the American Dream. In White Buildings, his lyrical intensity is revealed in poems exploring the complexities of love, loss, and artistic ambition, along with his openness to queer themes. His experimental approach to poetry has solidified his place as a significant voice in twentieth-century poetry.Despite his tragically short life, Crane's works continue to inspire readers and writers alike, offering profound insights into the struggles and aspirations of the human spirit.
