Robert's Theories and Ideas

Robert's Theories and Ideas

The 'Theory and Solution of Jetlag' is based on the earth's magnetic field and the behaviour of migrating birds. There is a copy of a letter from the Civil Aviation Authority which states they were 'extremely interested in my observations' on blood clotting in aircraft. Some eminent scientists were upset on my theory for a remedy for rheumatoid arthritis. An interesting theory is how earth originated from the sun, and its varying orbits. Other theories are how our weather has been the inspiration for many famous people and leaders of men having delusions of grandeur. There is a copy of a letter from 10 Downing Street to say that the Prime Minister, Tony Blair, had carefully noted my views on a balance between the private and public sector particularly when tendering for work. I have an idea for solving the problem of violence in aircraft. The easiest way to Australia is the most amusing concept. I express my views on our race being very much 'the survival of the fittest'.

Samurai and the Culture of Japan’s Great Peace

Samurai and the Culture of Japan’s Great Peace

An exquisite collection of objects relating to the traditions of samurai warriors, from swords and armor to dishes and paintings Through artifacts from the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History and other collections at Yale University, this lavishly illustrated volume takes readers on a journey into Japan’s early modern cultural and political history. It also offers tantalizing glimpses of medieval Japan and the technology underlying the material culture of the samurai. Some objects are dazzling aesthetic and technical feats: impossibly intricate lacquerware, swords as bright and sharp as the day they were forged, and glittering suits of armor from daimyo collections. Others are more unassuming, but equally capable of evoking visions of a lost world. Readers will encounter commoners alternately fearful of samurai violence and swept up in the romance of the cult of loyalty; artists and writers conjuring scenes of adventure and wit; families reaching out to departed kin across the chasm of death; parents deciding whether to raise or reject a newborn baby; underground Christians hiding their faith behind a Buddhist icon; and Japanese artifacts that take on new meanings in Ainu villages and the parlors of New England collectors. This book covers some well-known facets of Japanese history, but also features cutting-edge research. Like the exhibition from which it emerges, it is designed to be engaging and accessible to the general public while offering experts new information and perspectives.

No undue liberties with history have been attempted in this romance. Few characters in the story are purely imaginary. Doubtless the fastidious reader will distinguish these intruders at a glance, and very properly ignore them. For they, and what they never were, and what they never did, merely sugar-coat a dose disguised, and gild the solid pill of fact with tinselled fiction. But from the flames of Poundridge town ablaze, to the rolling smoke of Catharines-town, Romance but limps along a trail hewed out for her more dainty feet by History, and measured inch by inch across the bloody archives of the nation.

The Mystery of Choice is a collection of short stories by American writer Robert W. Chambers, published by D. Appleton in 1897. Distinguished by an atmospheric use of natural scenery, the stories are mostly set in Brittany in France. The macabre and eerie feature throughout. The last story was later incorporated into the episodic novel In Search of the Unknown. The first edition omitted the title of "The Key to Grief" in its contents list.
