      Discover the secret significance of numbers and have greater insight into your decisions. For thousands of years people have been aware of the secret significance of numbers. The early Greeks taught that numbers are central to the understanding of life itself; while Galileo, the medieval Italian astronomer, said "The book of nature is written in mathematical language." This guide explains both the history and theory of numerology, and through practical advice opens the door to a world of possibilities. Rather than enduring the effects of various life circumstances, we can, through numerology, take part in their rhythmic process, one that links us with Universal purpose and meaning. Numerology offers us the ability to order and take more control over our lives.

    • Augusta National Golf Club, which runs the event. The stories of each year the tournament has been played, starting in 1934, are grouped into chapters that each have a unifying theme. The tournament progresses from the early years when the tournament quickly established itself, to the era when Sam Snead and Ben Hogan dominated, the time when Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus brought the tournament into the television age, a couple of decades of European dominance, and finally the Tiger Woods era. Within that framework, each year has its own story to tell as the Augusta National course provides the perfect setting for drama involving the game's greatest players.

      A captivating collection of original science fiction and fantasy stories based on the same alternate world premise: a collection of documents that have been suppressed by the Vatican and hidden away for years, in some cases centuries, are revealed when the vaults are thrown open by a reforming pope. In this alternate reality, Pope John Paul (I) does not die a month after his accession in 1978; instead he lives on for over 30 years to become the most reforming pope of all time. In addition to relaxing the rules on birth control and priestly celibacy he also opens up the most secret parts of the Vatican Library to scholars . . . In the Vatican's deepest vaults, documents are discovered which shed new light on world history, containing information which, if true, would cause many parts of accepted history to have to be rewritten. These include not just the undercover involvement of the Catholic Church in world affairs, but documented accounts of what really happened in historical conundrums, the real lives of saints and popes, miracles, magic, angels and even alien encounters.

      Tales from the Vatican Vaults
