Since the 1976 publication of his first version of The American Ephemeris, 1931-1980, Neil F. Michelsen's ground-breaking series of ephemerides have consistently set standards for accuracy in astrology, becoming indispensable to astrologers worldwide at every level from student to professional. The tradition continues with this Revised & Expanded Third Edition of The American Ephemeris for the 21st Century, 2000-2050 at Noon. Revisions and additions are programmed by Rique Pottenger, who became head programmer for ACS Publications after Michelsen's passing. Additions and improvements include new Jet Propulsion Laboratory data and programming refinements that enable finding double ingresses in a single day plus more accurate station times. A new formula increases the accuracy of the Galactic Center. Phenomena in the Astro Data section are now sorted by time as well as by date, and R appears with Planetary Ingress Data if a planet is retrograde when it ingresses. The most notably obvious additions in this new edition include the dwarf planet Ceres in daily longitude listings between Mars and Jupiter, and monthly positions are given for Eris, Chiron, Pallas, Juno and Vesta.

The Bhagavad-Gita, interpreted by Annie Wood Besant, presents a profound and enlightening perspective on this timeless Hindu scripture. In her interpretation of The Bhagavad-Gita, Annie Wood Besant offers a unique and deeply insightful exploration of one of Hinduism's most revered texts. Her work illuminates the Gita's profound philosophical and spiritual teachings, making them accessible to a broader audience. Besant begins by setting the stage for the Gita's dialogue, providing context within the epic Mahabharata, where this sacred conversation takes place. Her analysis delves into the conversation between Prince Arjuna and Lord Krishna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, unraveling its symbolic and metaphysical layers. Besant's interpretation brings forth the Gita's themes of duty, righteousness, and the nature of reality, which are as relevant today as they were millennia ago. Central to Besant's commentary is the concept of dharma (righteous duty) and how it applies to the spiritual and everyday lives of individuals. She elucidates Krishna's teachings on various paths to spiritual liberation - including devotion, knowledge, and selfless action - highlighting their universal relevance. Her insights provide readers with a deeper understanding of the Gita's guidance on living a balanced, ethical, and spiritually enriched life. Besant also delves into the Gita's teachings on the nature of the self, the universe, and the divine. Her interpretation is not just scholarly but also deeply spiritual, reflecting her own Theosophical views. She presents the Gita as a guide for spiritual evolution, emphasizing its significance in the journey towards self-realization and unity with the divine. The Bhagavad-Gita by Annie Wood Besant is more than just a translation; it is a profound interpretation that offers a deeper understanding of this sacred text. It is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Hindu philosophy, spiritual growth, or the study of religious texts. Besant's work invites readers into the heart of the Gita's timeless wisdom, revealing its enduring power to inspire and transform.

Star Wars is one of the most important cultural phenomena of the Western world. The tale of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and the fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker has become modern myth, an epic tragedy of the corruption of a young man in love into darkness, the rise of evil, and the power of good triumphing in the end.But it didn't start out that way.In this thorough account of one of cinema's most lasting works, Michael Kaminski presents the true history of how Star Wars was written, from its beginnings as a science fiction fairy tale to its development over three decades into the epic we now know, chronicling the methods, techniques, thought processes, and struggles of its creator. For this unauthorized account, he has pored through over four hundred sources, from interviews to original scripts, to track how the most powerful modern epic in the world was created, expanded, and finalized into the tale an entire generation has grown up with.

Among the most important contributions the National Park Service has made since its founding in 1916 has been the development of extraordinary museum technology and administration---national in scope and international in influence. This manual, a distillation of what many persons have learned about the day-to-day operations of museums, is meant to provide curatorial standards and serve as a reference for museum workers everywhere. This book was written by Ralph H. Lewis, an outstanding museum administrator and curator with many years of experience in the National Park Service. It is an outgrowth of an earlier (1941) volume entitled Field Manual for Museums by Ned J. Burns, a work that went out of print during World War II and is, even to this day, in demand by curators and museum managers. In this present manual, Mr. Lewis carries on a tradition of excellence in museum practice that can be traced back to the mid-1930's when Carl P. Russell set the basic pattern for museum work in the national parks. In those early years most park museums could not afford or were too small to engage a full time professional museum staff. Dr. Russell set up centralized laboratories staffed by curators and preparators and provided the parks with exhibition and preservation expertise from this pool. The ordinary maintenance and operation of the museums were left to the superintendents who managed the parks, and to the archeologists, historians and naturalists who interpreted them.
