Why so small and uninformative
I am an average, hard-working, book-loving male, in my early 60's, college-educated and normal in almost every respect. I thought I would learn a bit more about 'earth-grids' after hearing the author on coast to coast am radio some time ago. The book arrived just fine and although small in size, 5 inches by 6 inches, I was impressed by the chapter headings. For example: "The Earth, her structure, movement and natural energies", and "Global positioning - lost codes of the ancients" and "Vile vortices - vanishing aircraft and time dilations". Exciting sounding, right? Any one of these topics is a book in themselves. I discovered this 58 page book, fully 50% of which is filled with diagrams which have been copied from some other source and shrunk from an 8 1/2" x 11" page down to up to FOUR DIAGRAMS on one 5" x 6" page resulting in a font size one would be hard pressed to say is even a 1. A 50 cent piece just about covers up an entire diagram. So small as to be Unreadable. I used a jewelers magnifying glass mounted on a headband to attempt to read these charts and frankly, I gave up. Additionaly, to make the book have the look and feel of some long lost tome, the ink used is not crisp and black, but more of a lighter shade venturing into the grays....so it is even harder to read well unless in real bright light. The diagrams are on the right hand pages of the book, one on every turn of the page, and the text is on the left side of the page. The Text as it turns out, is for the entire CHAPTER. Hence 27 chapters = 54 pages...One page per chapter for text and one page for some unviewable diagram. To top it off, the author only gave a simple description of each chapter heading on the one page. Disappointing to say the least in terms of giving indepth information about the topic. I sure didn't learn much about, say, "Vile Vortices - vanishing aircraft and time dilation". To save you from spending money or a moment on this worthless fire starter, here is the book: There is evidence that the earth was divided into grids by some ancient somebody, and these grids may represent some type of energy given by the earth....and many cities, 'sacred' sites and temples of worship lay on these lines.... We don't know for what purpose or to what end this accomplishes but many folks have studied this and no doubt many of them could have written a better book about the topic than the fellow who put this train-wreck together. Save your money. You can Wikipedia the topic and have as much or probably more information. I understand Wooden Books has a whole series of books of this size on similar topics. I won't take a chance on any of them after this POS. The author should be commended for being able to cobble together a bunch of general and bland information and making a book out of it. Everybody has to make a living somehow. And his effort is truly at the purchasers expense. What a huge disappointment.
