FOREWORD BY CHER Bridgett Walther, astrologer to the stars, teaches you how to work with the traits of your sun sign (the good and the bad) to maximize your happiness in love, money, friendship, health, and the future. How does your sun sign influence who you are and the choices you make? Why does Scorpio want a corner office while Taurus would rather have a luxury vacation? Why does Leo excel at seduction while Aquarius is more interested in studying string theory? In the sassy, no-nonsense voice thousands of fans of her horoscopes in Elle have come to love, Bridgett Walther provides critical insight and useful advice for each of the twelve sun signs. For readers looking for a transformation to their best self, Walther shows you how to overcome hardwired traits and use planetary timing to your advantage in love, money, health, family, and the future. With a foreword by the one and only Cher, Conquer the Cosmos will appeal to everyone, from the seriously spiritual to those who are just plain curious.

Picturing the Cosmos elucidates the complex relationship between visual propaganda and censorship in the Soviet Union in the Cold War period, focusing on the 1950s and 1960s. Drawing from a comprehensive corpus of rarely seen photographs and other visual phenomena narrating the Soviet Union's 1957 victory in the 'Race for Space', the author illustrates the media's role in cementing the way for Communism whilst retaining top-secret information. Each photo is examined as a deliberate, functioning part of a specific political, ideological and historical situation that helped to anchor the otherwise abstract political and intellectual concepts of the future and modernization.

Mindsteps to the Cosmos shows how modern global civilization depends on giant leaps of understanding that have been made in the past. Science and technology have been inspired and formulated by the sky OCo the cosmos in which we live. Human development could not have taken place on a cloud-shrouded planet. Mathematics was invented to track the movements of the sun, moon and stars even though back then these were thought to be gods. The space program has taken us beyond the earth, and satellite systems are exploring to the ends of the visible universe. This book provides the reader with algorithms to construct personal computer programs for finding the position of the moon and planets, and for calculating dates through historic periods in the Egyptian as well as the old and new style calendars."

The Complete Works of D. H. Lawrence is a comprehensive collection of the renowned author's literary masterpieces, showcasing his unique blend of modernist writing with themes of love, sexuality, and the human condition. Through his works, Lawrence explores the complexities of relationships, societal norms, and the inner workings of the human psyche, all written in a poetic and introspective style that captivates readers. This collection not only reflects the literary context of the early 20th century but also delves into timeless themes that continue to resonate with readers today. D. H. Lawrence, known for his controversial and trailblazing writing, drew inspiration from his own life experiences and observations of the world around him. His desire to push boundaries and challenge societal conventions led him to create works that were ahead of their time and sparked discussion and debate among readers and critics alike. I highly recommend The Complete Works of D. H. Lawrence to those who appreciate thought-provoking and introspective literature that explores the complexities of human relationships and emotions. This collection is a must-read for anyone interested in delving into the mind of a literary icon who fearlessly tackled controversial topics with poetic grace and profound insight.
