REVIEWS BOOKS development of the long-count calendar at the sacred site of Izapan, the galactic geome- try and symbolism of the ball court, and much more. Jenkins' findings not only extend our understanding of Maya cosmolo- gy; they have great significance for humani- ty at the evolutionary crossroads. and the people. Dr Callahan has detailed these discoveries and more in other books and papers (a complete list of these is print- ed herein), but his aim here is to present per- sonal vignettes in the hope of transmitting a sense of the sacred to the reader. Dr Callahan's eco-ethical quest is imbued with a religious fervour, which may help explain his interest in the scientific analysis of Virgin Mary sightings around the world. Such apparitions tend to occur in highly paramagnetic locations, and it's no accident that sacred monuments and places of wor- ship are sited in similarly highly charged areas. His treasure-trove of research, from his experiments with the candle flame's far- infrared spectrum radiation to the sine-wave dynamics of space-time, has far-reaching implications for our understanding of life and our place and purpose in the Universe.

His latest book, My Search For Traces of God, is a very touching, personal memoir wherein he records the formative experiences that sparked his explorations into the physics of Divine Providence. Serendipitously, Dr Callahan spent some of these formative years as a US serviceman and radio technician in wartime Ireland where he had profound insights into Nature, e.g., the role of insect antennae as frequency tuners, and of the Irish round towers in amplifying Earth energy and utilising soil paramagnetism for the benefit of agriculture My SEARCH FOR TRACES OF GOD Pip &, 5.

Publishing, tel (505) 983 5968, fax (505) 989 8386 t was back in 1977, after reading Peter Tompkins' book, Secrets of the Great Pyramid, that Christopher Dunn (a UK- born, US-based master craftsman) first embarked on his own quest to unravel the Pyramid mysteries. Studying the edifice with an engineer's eye, he was impressed by how much the schematics reminded him of a machine—a very big one, at that. Twenty years later, his theories form the basis of his book, The Giza Power Plant. Dunn's premise is that the Great Pyramid was actually a power-generating complex, the King's Chamber being its power centre and the Queen's Chamber its hydrogen fuel production centre. He deduces that the early Egyptians (or their predecessors) found a way of converting the Earth's resonant or vibrational energy into microwave energy by way of a combined chemical reaction and acoustic filtering technique, but to achieve this the Pyramid had to be built to exacting specifications. Of course, the cutting and polishing of their stone blocks and artefacts also required precision craftsmanship with advanced tools and techniques which are yet to find their way into the archaeological record. That the King's Chamber is a reso- nant structure has been noticed by other Piulp 3. Cental, Bb, OCTOBER - NOVEMBER 1998
