The Equinox, in print from 1909-1919, was a magical journal published by Aleister Crowley and included Crowley's own A...A... laws, rituals and rites, reviews, and magical works by other important practitioners. Published as ten volumes, much of the material remains out of print today. Now, for the first time since Israel Regardie's selections Gems from the Equinox (1974) renowned scholar and U.S. Deputy Grandmaster General of the O.T.O. Lon Milo DuQuette presents readers with his own selections from this classic publication, The Best of the Equinox. Volume III of the series presents perhaps the most titillating of esoteric subjects, Sex Magick. Once he grasped the fundamentals of sexual magick, Aleister Crowley understood it to be the key that unlocks the secrets of the universe. He dedicated the entire second half of his life to exploring its mysteries. This volume presents the bulk of Crowley's written works on the subject and includes The Gnostic Mass, Energized Enthusiasm, Liber A'ash, Liber Chath, and Liber Stellae Rubeae.

Is flying safe? Indeed it is -- statistics tell us that it is far more dangerous to drive a car or take the train. But flight safety does not just happen. Instead, as it is argued in this book, it is created by a well-developed air traffic control system that continues to be highly effective -- despite increasing volumes of traffic. How is this high level of safety achieved and sustained? Air traffic controllers are responsible for guiding the aircraft and organizing a safe and efficient traffic flow. Their work is highly structured, providing rules and resources helping them to organize traffic. To achieve the necessary cooperation with flight crews and other controllers necessary for a safe flow, controllers use a number of strategies. Among other things, controllers must visualize traffic and develop redundant procedures to prevent -- or deal with -- potential problems. In this work, controllers must rely on both cognitive abilities and social integrative skills. The study is based on extensive observations, videotapes and interviews of air traffic controllers and flight crews. It focuses on daily teamwork in air traffic control as well as organizational features such as rules and resources that structure the work. The double focus on both organizational structure and the dynamics of interaction among controllers makes the book pioneering in its field.

<b><i>What if climate change isn't an environmental challenge, but an energy challenge?</i></b><br/><br/><b>'A thrilling book: vividly written, filled with fascinating facts, and inspiring' </b>STEVEN PINKER<br/><b>'I challenge you to read this book and not be excited about how we get on and power the world with sustainable energy for the next century' </b>HANNAH RITCHIE<br/><br/>In this visionary book, Dr Tim Gregory urges us to rethink the path to net zero. He argues that the solution to climate change lies not simply in replacing fossil fuels with renewables, but in fully embracing another energy source that emits zero carbon dioxide: nuclear power.<br/><br/>Gregory dismantles the conventional wisdom that renewables such as wind and solar are completely 'green', and debunks myths surrounding nuclear waste and radiation, demonstrating that nuclear power is not only reliable, safe and potent, but the most environmentally responsible way to harvest energy.<br/><br/><i>Going Nuclear</i> calls for decarbonisation to be the twenty-first century's <i>Apollo</i> programme. By interweaving scientific optimism, myth-busting data, and ambitious policy ideas, Gregory illustrates the untapped and boundless potential of the atom beyond just clean energy: from advanced medicine and forensics to atomic gardening and space exploration.<br/><br/><b>This is a bold case for an alternative, sustainable and prosperous future: a world in which abundant energy is available to all.</b>

SEMT Volume I introduces the Structured Epistemic Model of Truth, a framework that unites logic, epistemology, and complexity theory to address core issues in bounded AI and knowledge verification. Drawing from Gödel, Turing, and modern AI debates, the book proposes a non-classical conception of truth suited to agents operating under cognitive and resource constraints. It redefines epistemic rigor for computationally limited reasoners.
