| Upcoming Books: New Bioneers Book by Nina Simons |
By Jon Graham, Acquisitions EditorMany of the books we publish are those I've recommended and acquired based on a strong proposal or partial manuscript. When the final manuscript arrives due diligence requires that I read it through to make certain it still conforms to how we described it in the catalog. Some books may come in that need a little gentle editorial guidance to get back on track without losing the benefits of what the organic writing process will have engendered. On the other hand if the writer truly taps into his or her creative process, the original proposal may have been expanded upon in some significant and unexpected ways. A good writer knows the book will take on a life of its own and will learn how to get out of the way. (This does not mean if we contracted a book on aromatherapy we will be happy to just run with it when the author turns one in on the mating habits of gray aliens.) But every so often a book comes in that has fulfilled its promise so magnificently that I push aside all the other things constantly clamoring for my attention and just surrender to the pure pleasure of reading. A case in point is the final manuscript for the next book in our series of anthologies we publish in collaboration with Bioneers. |

| Lost Technologies Renews Sense of Mystery |
 By Chanc VanWinkle, Project Editor
For me, it’s easy to get caught up in the daily machinations of life and forget that there’s more to our reality than the workweek, to-do lists, and errands. I’m not talking about the spiritual aspect of life, but mystery that exists right here in the physical plane, as part of our human history. Recently, Chris Dunn reminded me of this aspect when I read his book Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt. Dunn, a manufacturing engineer with fifty years experience, discusses the remarkable and nearly otherworldly precision achieved by the Egyptians in cutting the granite blocks used in the pyramid casing stones at Giza. He also visits the Serapeum, a subterranean maze of tunnels and vaults that was the part of the temple of the Apis Bull. Within the alcoves and crypts lining the tunnels are huge granite boxes that served as sarcophagi for the bulls that were sacrificed and dedicated to the god Apis. |

| The New Rules of Posture by Mary Bond |
Staff Pick by Erica Robinson, Special Projects
 I always thought I had great posture and never understood why my back would ache after washing dishes or doing other simple tasks. After working on this book, I learned the very subtle ways our movements and standing habits affect us and was able to alleviate most of my back issues by myself. Filled with helpful tips and simple exercises for chronic and occasional back-pain sufferers alike, I highly recommend this book! |

| The Secrets of Masonic Washington by James Wasserman |
Staff Pick by Jeanie Levitan, Managing Editor
 This book is a winner. With incredibly diverse and vivid photographs, Jim Wasserman helps us to see our nation’s capitol in a new light. His artist’s eye captures views that both zero in on the familiar in an unfamiliar way (see the bas-relief pictured on pages 112 [top] and 113) as well as single out the richness of the details nested in rooms so abundant in symbolism that the eye cannot possibly absorb it all in its totality (see the Library of Congress Reading Room pictured on pages 9 and 22-23, and the Great Hall on pages 95-99). |
