Genesis of the Cosmos: The Ancient Science of Continuous Creation Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)When I picked up this book I was at first put off by LaViolette's style of writing.

The author has broken the code -- by which I mean...

Lectures on Ancient Philosophy Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As is often the case with Manly Hall, this book is deceptively clear.
