    • The author proposes a geometric solution to the mystery of the Rennes-le-Chateau valley. Combining elements of ancient geometry and mythology, he attempts to define a web of sacred "unseen" ciphers joining elements of Egyptian mythology (particularly the cult of Isis), old testament standards (Noah's Ark, Eve's sin, and the Temple of Solomon), along with [holy] Grail lore and Arthurian legend. He also alludes to the hidden sacred and secret--the Knights Templar in particular. The underlying theories presented here form the basis for much of the Da Vinci code/Grail mythology of recent years

      While global concern about biodiversity has grown tremendously, the most important part of biodiversity for human survival, agricultural biodiversity, has received relatively little attention. This book provides a broad review of current thinking on agrobiodiversity—what it is, how it is conserved, and how it can be better utilized in sustainable farming. It brings together contributions from a wide range of disciplines and geographical areas. Emphasis is placed on functional interactions between components of agrobiodiversity for a range of farming systems, and the book includes numerous case studies. The book also relates the evolution of agrobiodiversity and its management to broad concerns about the environment and the future of productive agricultural systems.
