The Secret Science of Numerology is unlike any other book on numerology, because it explains why numerology works. It reveals the science behind this ancient mystical art. And, the book introduces the Inner Guidance Number, a powerful tool for accessing our inner knowing. The Secret Science of Numerology is the first book to present a thorough explanation of the numbers and letters, starting with their origins-the how and why of their design, and exploring their nature in names and in language.

This book explores how potential bio-threats and risks may evolve post 911 given the rapid changes in biotechnology and synthetic biology. It also explores what role intelligence communities can play in understanding threats and risks. It argues that although bio-threats and risks are largely low probability and high impact in nature, intelligence in Five Eyes countries remain insufficiently prepared to understand them. This book identifies key areas where intelligence reforms need to take place including a more strategic and systematic collaboration between national securitylaw enforcement intelligence and the scientific community. It is aimed at intelligence analysts, those in the scientific community working on health security threats, policy makers and researchers working on biosecurity and bioterrorism threats and risks. **From the Back Cover This book explores how potential bio-threats and risks may evolve post 911 given the rapid changes in biotechnology and synthetic biology.

In this revolutionary and highly original work, poet-scholar Glazier investigates the ways in which computer technology has influenced and transformed the writing and dissemination of poetry.In Digital Poetics, Loss Pequeno Glazier argues that the increase in computer technology and accessibility, specifically the World Wide Web, has created a new and viable place for the writing and dissemination of poetry. Glaziers work not only introduces the reader to the current state of electronic writing but also outlines the historical and technical contexts out of which electronic poetry has emerged and demonstrates some of the possibilities of the new medium.Glazier examines three principal forms of electronic textuality hypertext, visualkinetic text, and works in programmable media. He considers avant-garde poetics and its relationship to the on-line age, the relationship between web pages and book technology, and the way in which certain kinds of web constructions are in and of themselves a type of writing. With convincing alacrity, Glazier argues that the materiality of electronic writing has changed the idea of writing itself. He concludes that electronic space is the true home of poetry and, in the 20th century, has become the ultimate space of poesis.Digital Poetics will attract a readership of scholars and students interested in contemporary creative writing and the potential of electronic media for imaginative expression.** In this revolutionary and highly original work, poet-scholar Glazier investigates the ways in which computer technology has influenced and transformed the writing and dissemination of poetry.

In Digital Poetics The Making of E-Poetries, Loss Pequeno Glazier (The Parts), professor and director of SUNY Buffalos esteemed Electronic Poetry Center (wings.buffalo.eduepc), theorizes on the practices and potentials of this inchoate medium-cum-venue. Tracing this 21st-century electronic evolution of poets awareness of the conditions of texts to 20th-century experimental poetry, Glazier delineates the Wild West of formal innovation (e.g., interactive poetries books whose contents can be constantly reordered) and explores the inevitable changes this will precipitate in content. The book is part of the Modern and Contemporary Poetics series edited by poet-critics Charles Bernstein and Hank Lazer. 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc. Review [Glazier] does a superb job of demonstrating the relevance of 20th century innovative poetries as a means of understanding the implications and possiblities of current digital writing developments.

This book psychoanalyzes a small Mexican city to figure out how the city makes sense of both herself and her many Others in the face of constant change. It puts the city on the couch and works through her past and present relationships, analyzing issues surrounding sexuality, the compulsion to repeat, transferences and desires. In this fascinating case study, Karen Rodriguez places the provincial city of Guanajuato on the couch and leads us though a fascinating tour of the towns back alleys, repressed drives, destructive impulses, and tales of love. Along the way, the author engages in a fascinating discussion of Julia Kristevas work and its relation to Mexican culture. A must read for those interested in contemporary Mexico. Ruben Gallo, Princeton University In the heart of Mexico lies the small city of Guanajuato. The city is unruly, constantly thwarting attempts to impose order upon her. In part, this has to do with the physical form of the city and with its awkward topography. In part, it has to do with a painful colonial past and a difficult economic present. Yet, by putting the city on the couch, Karen Rodriguez discovers how Guanajuatos desires, joys and anxieties are experienced and expressed. On the couch, Guanajuato offers Rodriguez a vast array of fascinating material to interpret from saints to the Virgin Mary, from posters to painters, from novels to t-shirts, from local legend to opera. Against the common trend to see the global city as the place to be, Rodriguez argues that it is very far from misplaced to take another look at small cities. This book is by turns, surprising, thought-provoking, funny, inventive and deeply serious. A real treat that will last long in the mind. Steve Pile, Open University, UK**

An interesting and original collection. A must for all those interested in women artists and the women who have written about them.--Linda Nochlin, author of Representing WomenKristen Frederickson and Sarah Webb have provided us with a missing link, a truly feminist art history that connects with the work done in the 1970s and thankfully ignores the post-feminist hiatus. Singular Women is a model for future scholarship on womens art. If only the books it inspires are as rigorous, vigorous, varied, and readable as this one.--Lucy Lippard, author of The Pink Glass Swan Selected Feminist Essays on ArtThe most provocative, challenging, and intimate writing to appear in feminist art history since Linda Nochlin launched the field with her essay Why Are There No Great Women Artists? Thirty years later there are both great women artists and great women writers. This book assembles some of the best and boldest among them. Not afraid to address the boring, the failed, the neglected, or the masterpiece, Singular Women sets the standard for feminist art history of the twenty-first century.--Peggy Phelan, author of the survey essay in Art and Feminism, ed. Helena ReckittThis important volume addresses the vexed question whether the traditional monograph, rightly under suspicion in recent years, can be reinvented to serve feminist art history well. Its excellent--and varied--essays answer with a confident and convincing affirmative, demonstrating how we can talk about womens art practice without abandoning the biographical and social stories that enable and illuminate it.--Janet Wolff, author of Resident Alien Feminist Cultural CriticismContributes new understandings to the now familiar problems of writing biographies of artists and, in particular, writing about a woman artist. It re-inscribes the woman artist in the discourse while probing--through a variety of approaches--the possibilities for a critical discourse on and appreciation of the woman artist.--Catherine M. Soussloff, author of The Absolute Artist The Historiography of a Concept Demonstrates how women historians have had to develop close relationships (real or imagined) with the artists about whom they write. The reader is allowed to see the desire that constitutes, but is normally hidden within, the writing of history.--Jane Blocker, author of Where Is Ana Mendieta? Identity, Performativity, and Exile
