Bridge Books

Captain Bruce Cathie shows how HARMONICS - wave forms of light - and their interaction and resonance, form the basis or "matrix" of the universe. Advanced applications for space travel, "free" energy production and much more could be developed. An important book, filled with mathematical data and derivations to back up his case. He shows examples of how the ancients used this knowledge to design the Great Pyramid, the world grid system, and even the basis for the English system of measurement. He is convinced a secret group is utilizing this knowledge and purposefully keeping the world ignorant and backward. Based upon the impact this kind of advancement would have on the "profitable" fossil fuel monopoly, it's hard to argue with him. Carefully written for both the scientist and the layman, The Bridge To Infinity is a powerful and important book and ahead of its time. To those with a scientific background, it's a "must-read". To those without such a background, I say READ IT ANYWAY.

All of Cathie's books are important, but this one gives important reinforcement to his early work, THE ENERGY GRID. He gives new information on the energy grid, plus analyses the harmonics of several free energy devices, and Tibetan levitation, Irish round towers and more. I highly recommend all his books.

This particular book was the start of my spiritual seeking. I started reading this book before I really knew God at all. But the words in this book were speaking directly to me....it did the job. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is on a spiritual path, starting a path, or just looking for some words of TRUTH.

Paul Ferrini did a great job on explaining the principles of A Course in Miracles. Surrender to God is a major theme of this great book.

I've just finished reading The Bridge to the 21st Century.I enjoyed it very much.Cary Coole's treatment of a period of time that I lived through was realistic ,meaningful and entertaining.It's authentic and well written.I hope he keeps on writing.

After reading this book I realized this is something that I want to keep on my bookcase for easy reference. The author reflects on his family in Texas and uses their lives as references to the events of the 20th century... sort of like a Grapes of Wrath. This is probably one of those books that is in the top 10 least known about that need to be read.

The book is absolutely great if you like World War 2 history and battles. I bought this book, but to my dismay it is an EXACT duplicate of Osprey Military Campaign Series #24 titled Arnhem 1944. How can this be? I thought I was buying a new source of information and data, from an author I had read and trusted. Now I have two similar books with different titles. I kept it and gave it to a friend as a gift. If you really want an in depth book on the Operation Market Garden battle, read Cornelius Ryan's masterpiece and the REAL "A Bridge Too Far". Sorry Badsey, your switch of titles is just mis-leading, albeit the great source book you've written. Stick to only printing books with one title.

This new short book by British scholar and historian Stephen Badsey masterfully and colorfully presents the boldest, largest and most disastrous Allied airborne attack of the European campaign during WWII. This operation, a massive airborne and armored attack in the autumn of 1944 in a single drive up the coast toward Arnhem in an effort to seize control of a number of bridges key to establishing a beachhead into Germany itself. Had it been successful, the attack could have considerably shortened the war, possibly ending it by Christmas 1944. However, the operation, which was the brainchild of British Army Field Marshall Montgomery, was fatally flawed, and led to a bloodbath which trapped tens of thousands of British, American, and other allied troops behind enemy lines for up to nine days without reinforcements or supplies. Thus, although the Allies did succeed in capturing several of the bridges along the route, their failure to wrest the bridge at Arnhem led to a hellacious firefight that eventually led to an Allied withdrawal.

Badsey, a lecturer at Britain's famed Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, uses a variety of different media in presenting this excellent and informative overview of the fatally flawed campaign, using color drawings, photographs, and a number of maps as reference material to better illustrate the details of Operation Market Garden. Badsey has produced a brief (less than 100 pages) work that manages to capture the conflict in very colorful and imaginative ways. In what is best described as a picture book format, Badsey lets the disastrous story of the wrong-headed Allied decision to risk an immense day-light paratrooper drop with "thunderclap surprise" (catching the Germans with their proverbial pants down) for the first time in the European campaign unfold as an ill-conceived effort to capture a series of bridges critical to a fast and successful prosecution of the Allied thrust into the heart of Germany.

Thus, although this does not provide the riveting story telling of Cornelius Ryan's masterful story-telling, it does convey the tale of the Allied miscalculation of potential German resistance and the speed with which they could proceed up the one road needed to support the airdropped forces is a riveting tale. In doing so, it provides a cautionary lesson for history in terms of the human lives and collateral destruction of the local population and a number of then still untouched and undamaged areas of the area under siege. Like previous books on the subject, this tome draws heavily from the faithful recollections of the actual participants in the action. Thus, the reader is wept into the action as we get a voyeur's view of the moment-to-moment development of the story as it unfolds in all its horrific detail.

Badsey is one of the best of a new generation of British historians developing a fresh and re-energized perspective on a number of the elements of the European campaign. The net effect of this book is not to offer a great deal of new insight regarding Operation Market garden, but rather to present what is known in a quite interesting, entertaining, and therefore more educational way for both the casual reader as well as for more serious students of military history. Moreover, while Professor Badsey is not a master story teller like Ryan, John Toland, William Shirer, or a number of notable others, the present work illuminates the human side of war by helping to shine the light of investigative truth on a still controversial and provocative Allied action that could have expedited the end of the war, but instead resulted in large scale death and destruction. Enjoy!

This book is written brilliantly and clearly - a standard work of spiritual wisdom and knowledge about this universe and its inhabitants. It is enlightening and a sheer pleasure to read. It covers all facets of human life and gives answers to many questions every incarnated being has.
The book in built up in 2 main sections and is subdivided in 31 chapters which contain themselves over 90 more sub-headlines covering the Ancient Wisdom. The author has added no own interpretation to this treatise of a mere "Philosophy of Life". So we can be sure that the information and concepts given, reflect the intention of the old sages - prepared for nowadays people and minds.
But this book is not intended to replace the original works upon which is based (the Alice Bailey teachings). Its only object is to be a delicious taster of the perennial Wisdom, which is always handed from the Hierarchy to mankind.

Excellent synthesis of Master D.K wisdom.Invaluable for assimilating ageless wisdom concepts. Thank you Mr Jurrianse !!!

I read this book before I went to France with my family. It was a great story. I loved the map at the end of the book with descriptions of where to find the places that they talk about in the book. We tried to go to them all. My sister and I liked to help plan how we spent each day.

We bought this book for our children before we went to Paris this year. We thought it would be a good idea to have them read something other than a travelguide before we went(which we read) because they find Frommers and the like quite boring. They really enjoyed the book and it gave them things to look for while we were in Paris that actually have some (even if imginary) meaning for them other than their parents telling them it was historical. The glossary and guides at the end of the book were just as good as the rest of the book.

this is an excellent book for people with an intrest in the history of bridge construction and their design from the roman times to the modern bridge with lots of black and white illustrations.anybody who likes bridges will like this book.

This reprints a 1929 classic in an unabridged presentation covering the design and construction of spans around the world, from wooden landmarks and classic restored medieval structures to covered bridges, stone structures, and modern (up to early 1900s, that is) creations. Chapters pack in many vintage black and white photos and diagrams to accompany a technical survey of bridge advancements and construction.

I have read quite a few books made from journals of individuals in Vietnam. Most are either dry accounts of movements or almost novelized disjointed experiences. This Book "The Bridges of Vietnam: From the Journals of a U. S. Marine Intelligence Office" Is not only chronologically organized, but also has a list of external events that took place at the same time.

With out a frame of reference it would be hard to tell if he was barging or borrowing someone else's idea of Vietnam. However in chapter Three "Internship" he covered the same territory (II Corps TZ) as I did; only he was there six months earlier. I saw his reference to the Fourth Infantry with out any reference to the armed reconnaissance First of the Tenth attached to the Fourth Infantry. I also spent some time in other locations and he does a good job of describing daily life. It looks like he left out how to do the job he does and maybe some things he did. For the most part he was dead accurate as to the people and environment of the time. He makes you feel that you are there.

This book is well worth reading and then keeping as a reference. Especially as time passed and you forget your first taste of warm "33" beer.

Fred Edwards served as an intelligence officer during the Vietnam War and visited very major ground unit from Special Forces camps and ground reconnaissance unites, to armored calvary units, and waterborne reconnaissance units. An invaluable and strongly recommended contribution to the military annals of the Viet Name conflict, Edward's The Bridges Of Vietnam: From The Journals Of A U.S. Marine Intelligence Officer is as vivid and candid memoir of the war from the perspective of a front-line intelligence officer as is available to the non-specialist general reader or military buff.

Over fifty famous bridges and their stories are gathered in a survey which will appeal to a far wider audience than the usual specialty bridge book. Here is a satisfying blend of striking photos and technical detail blended in with a history of bridge-building around the world. The real surprise lies in a lively writing style paired with discussions of bridges in regions which usually don't receive much mention, such as a sand-cast iron bridge in Coalbrookdale from the 1700s or the 1800s Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol.

I bought this book for my son who is almost 5. He is fascinated by bridges. So I got this book for him and he loves it. It has some really unique bridges with great pictures. (He likes it mostly for all of the pictures, but he will ask what country they are from, etc). I also find it interesting because they have detailed descriptions regarding the bridges.

So this is a great book, even if you have never had interest in bridges. Kids like it too!
