Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

3 out of 5 stars Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

5 out of 5 stars Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

5 out of 5 stars Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

4 out of 5 stars History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Book Description

Peter Han cofounded a software company soon after college and sold it a few years later. By any measure he was already successful, but he still was curious about how others found long-term meaning in their work. So he set out to learn what a diverse group of influential “somebodies” had done back when they were still “nobodies.”

Nobodies to Somebodies is based on Han's interviews with one hundred fascinating people who figured out how to find and pursue big opportunities. They span a wide range of fields, including politics (former Senator Bill Bradley), business (Reebok CEO Paul Fireman), acting (John Lithgow), activism (Sierra Club president Larry Fahn), writing (Tom Clancy), science (Nobel Prize physicist Anthony Leggett), and the nonprofit world (Teach for America founder Wendy Kopp).

Han synthesizes fourteen big lessons that anyone can apply, including:
• Pay the rent first, conquer the world later
• Become the big fish by mastering the small pond
• Learn when to stay and when to go

Nobodies to Somebodies blends inspiring stories with the proven wisdom of one hundred somebodies who haven't forgotten what it was like to be nobody.

5 out of 5 stars Interesting Cross-Section of Careers.......2007-05-16

This book can be viewed as an individualized version of In Search of Excellence - a survey of the successful, with some extrapolations with what they have in common. Unlike In Search of Excellence, this book focuses on individual people - artists, scientists, business people and community leaders.

Some of the observations are obvious - these people worked hard! Others are less obvious. Many had career paths that involved twists and turns on the way up. Most had setbacks. Many gave up traditional trappings of power such as golf.

The one knock on the book is the main complaint with In Search of Excellence - by only searching the Great, the book lacks some of the academic rigor that would've come with comparison companies. This doesn't detract from the book if you take it for what it is - stories based on interviews of the successful. Hard not to learn from that.

2 out of 5 stars Poor writing.......2006-08-28

This book seems like a scholar investigation. Very poor writing, it did not attract my interest. The only thing that is worth reading, are 2 or 3 interesting comments from some CEO`s.

4 out of 5 stars Nice surprise.......2006-07-21

I've never written a review before, but I wanted to in this case because this book provided insights I didn't expect. I read this one just to try something new and I was happy to get quite a lot out of it. It's a unique twist on the "secrets to success" books out there, in that the writer is so young, so I think that causes his fresh style of writing. I guess that's what I like about the book - fresh writing style, fresh ideas, and a nice overall perspective on life and business success.

5 out of 5 stars Inside glimpses: How 100 VIPS, CEOs and stars got started.......2006-04-13

Imagine a workplace seminar taught by the top executives of Fortune 1000 companies or best-selling authors, Nobel Prize laureates and Tony award-winning performers. Such a workshop may seem like a dream, but author Peter Han fulfills it. He gives you quality time with 100 "somebodies" who used to be "nobodies," some of the sharpest minds in business, government, academia, the arts and nonprofit leadership. These executives, elected officials, scientists and entertainers explain how they rose to the top (even if they were directionless as "twenty-somethings") and they offer thoughtful advice about attaining success. Han compiles their counsel into 14 interesting, useful career lessons. However, the book might have been even more helpful if he had included additional information on a few specific management topics such as coping with discrimination and politics in the workplace. Nevertheless, we recommend Han's analysis of his close-up conversations with 100 achievers and welcomes this collection of valuable advice.

4 out of 5 stars Nobodies to Somebodies.......2005-08-17

This book has valuable information for ambitious young people. It can help them relax because it shows that there is no one way to success. It can help them relax if they are worried because it shows that the most succesful people were worried when in their twenties. It can help them work intelligently because it shows that the important thing in early jobs is to learn everything one can especially the fundamentals. Also one should try to ask as many probing questions as one can- sometimes silently and sometimes to others. The book can also help teachers and counselors because it tells them things to tell young people who are about to leave school and enter the work force.

5 out of 5 stars A must read for Covey fans!.......1999-07-06

While Covey calls it the "gap", Parikh expands this concept with "centering". One of the top five self development books I have read. Parikh has you look at life from an eastern perspective, but with a western utility.Highly recommended!

4 out of 5 stars East and west business culture and education comes together.......1999-03-25

Never read a book with practical knowledge from east and west. Old knowledge in a serious new age style. For highermanagement a nice combination of insight of mind, body and emotions. A lot of practical models and systeems that you can use the next day in your organisation. Full of figures and cartoons. Very pleasand to read. I use this book as a gift in my excecutive coaching.

    The best-selling business leader offers a fresh and compelling path to success based on extensive research and candid interviews with some of the greatest winners of our time
    In James Citrin’s new pardigm-shifting book, he identifies the essential characteristics and disciplines that have led many of our outstanding athletes and other extraordinary performers to achieve equally signifi cant accomplishments in their respective business careers. Citrin uses dozens of compelling interviews with personalities as varied and impressive as Colin Powell, Tony Hawk, Billie Jean King, Magic Johnson, Mia Hamm, and Buzz Aldrin, to name a few, to illustrate a new personal achievement program called the Dynamic Path—a plan that any businessperson can put to immediate use. Citrin identifies three stages on this path to greatness:
    the Champion—combine the work ethic of Tiger Woods with self-confidence and mental toughness to reach the top
    the Great Leader—follow Bob Iger’s revitalization of Disney as one of our best brands
    the Legacy—learn the ultimate lesson in good and lasting work from Lance Armstrong
    With inspiring anecdotes, real-world business examples, and his trademark penetrating insight into what it takes to get ahead, Citrin once again provides a clear and concise roadmap for personal excellence.

        Book Description

        The professional services market is under continuous pressure to change. Some firms have responded well, many have tried and failed. Professionals are trained to analyze and debate, rather than decide and act. Implementation and speed of response within professional firms remains a key problem. While there are many management books focusing on strategic change, few tackle change in the context of professionals. This book provides practical tools and techniques to harness the intellect and energy of professionals and achieve buy-in and commitment to change in their firms.
