Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Great value.......2007-04-26

Took the advice of another reviewer and am glad I did! The puzzles aren't so hard that you feel defeated, but just difficult enough to get your brain really working. None of those 3,4,or 5 letter easy answers! All Sunday-sized with themes! Only one small drawback related to the book's layout: all the puzzles are positioned in the lower right corner of each page; makes writing in answers a little awkward. That aside, I'm having a blast with this book!

Monster.......2006-08-19

Excellent crossword book. Puzzles are not extremely hard but just difficult to test your brain.

Gosh, A must buy for crossword fans........2000-11-29

I rarely solved sunday crosswords--- it took too much time. But puzzles in this gorgeous book are so good that I can not help but looking up my dictionary and encyclopedia over and over, trying hard but happily to fill each box. This book contains not only tremendous number of puzzles(500 in all!) but also in very high quality. Let me introduce first pages: the puzzle no.1 is by Mike Shenk, no.2 by Merl Reagle, no.3 by Trip Payne, no.4 by Stanley Newman, the incredible editor of this book, himself, no.5 is by David A. Rosen.... These names are so thunderous and famous in this field. I adore Stanley Newman for editing such a high-level collection of puzzles, offering endless joy for crossword fans.

Contemporary Masterpiece.......1999-08-25

It's a great collection of puzzles not only in sheer quantity but quality as well at an almost unheard of price (less than 4 cents/puzzle!). These puzzles are a great example of the new breed of constructors who rely more on clever wordplay than arcane knowledge. The difficult, on average, is a little less challenging than the normal Sunday NY Times. Stanley Newman shows again why he is one of the most respected crossword puzzle editors and a very fine constructor in his own right.

Book Description

The sequel to the best-selling Adweek book, Disruption, this book shows the wider application of the concept as it affects vision, strategy, creativity and media marketing. Jean Marie-Dru describes disruption as a universal language of change that allows advertisers from all over the world to form a common strategy. In this book, Dru explores the wide-reaching ramifications of disruption: for instance, how disruption can be seen at work in emerging, rebellious or unreceptive markets; how disruption can transform vision into insight; how disruption can affect communication and lead to cross-fertilization of ideas; how disruption relates to design; examples of disruptive companies and campaigns; and how disruption can lead to connectedness.

Great insight into TBWA/Chiat/Day's strategy.......2007-07-11

Hving read the first book "Disruption", I'm glad that Jean Marie Dru has decided to compile case studies on how Disruption works in the market place with this new book. I also liked the fact that he invited prominent people in the TBWA family to write about disruption in their markets (they even have a section on Asian Markets). This book is a great book for anyone going into the world of advertising. It helped me as student to improve my creative thinking and the way I think about strategy! Now that I'm in the business, I actually occasionally refer to this book when I'm stuck on something.

To me, I feel Disruption and Beyond Disruption are the "Hey Whipple" books for Strategy and should be an inspiration to anyone who works on the strategy side of the business.

Challenging Convention To Locate & Exploit Its Failings.......2006-11-07

You need this book and a little disruption if you:
1. Have lost your role as the center of category value
2. Are relying on deals and costly promotions
3. Are feeling invincible
4. Competitor's products are flying off of the shelves
5. Competitor's customers are more active than yours
6. Your customers of today looks exactly like your customers of yesterday
7. Or, you can't articulate a clear vision of your future.

With the proliferation of similar products it takes a disruptive approach to get a customer's attention. You must get into their heart, under their skin and make news! This has been shown to be highly beneficial in marketing. It has recently been shown that 'disruption' is beneficial anywhere where convetion has strongly taken root.

There are three consecutive themes that Jean-Marie Dru offers as a plan to keep up the necessary innovation. They are:
1. Study, observe and list what is considered conventional in your field.
2. Challenge these conventions with new ideas
3. Visioneering - envision and act upon the most possible and exciting ideas.

Many, many examples are given throughout the book using companies that we are all familiar with. Included is an outline of how to carry out your own disruption workshops to create positive change.

5 Stars

Superb for reminding us all to hold onto our own creativity!.......2002-11-19

I truly and thoroughly enjoyed this book! It reminded me what it was that got me into this line of work in the first place. This book focuses the reader on using creativity to look at the world in a different manner, and create truly differentiable advantage thereby, and the energy and excitement that I took from it were absolutely wonderful.The book is team-written by a series of folks at TBWA\, (one of the largest ad agencies in the world) and there are definite portions of the book that are only of value to people outside of the ad world in dealing with folks inside, (most notably, the entire third section of the book, which you can honestly skip) and there are some chapters written by Dru's team that contradict some of his basic tenets, but don't let either of these put you off. The case studies, base lessons and some of the discussions about methodologies are highly portable, and certainly can lead to a strong and very valuable transformation in your practices and company, if taken to heart.It will focus you and your co-workers on defining and fulfilling the grandeur of the mission you're on, (regardless of industry or product segment) with the benefits accruing in direct proportion to how widely you can introduce this mindset and maintain the excitement, (much of it self-perpetuating) to your environment.And one very cute suggestion that has immediate value to us all: a company was having a very difficult time with actual output not being achieved due to both the quantity and time span of meetings, (sound familiar?). Dru and his team's suggestion, which was implemented to great success? Remove all chairs from the conference room. Imagine how quickly meetings can be over if everyone has to stand during the entire discussion!

Simply Stated: A Great Book!.......2002-09-27

Dru successfully outlines the creation, development and deployment of 'disruptive' marketing strategies used on some of today's most successful brands including Apple and Absolute. In addition, he helps you get an understanding of why disruptive thinking is important, and in many cases, essential for the everyday entrepreneur. The visuals in the book certainly help and the well-organized structure of the content makes for a good read. Advertising and marketing folks, you won't be let down.

Beyond Disruption really goes beyond Dru's first book.......2002-05-12

This book is valuable because [finally] there are case histories of how Dru's Disruption theory actually works in the marketplace.
Dru wrote intro and then drew on his network of TBWA offices to report on how they've been successfully applying this dramatic communication theory for clients over last half decade. If you're interested in how to get your advertising and marketing to be heard and absorbed by the consumer, it's worth a read.
