Nikola Tesla was a 19th-century American inventor, a contemporary and rival of Thomas Edison. He sold the rights of his invention of the modern induction motor to Westinghouse for one million dollars, cash. Yet he died a recluse, claiming a revolutionary discovery: an inexhaustible source of energy, whose power could be transmitted around the world without loss. This is a "factionalized" account of the author's investigation into Tesla's theories and claims, and the evidence that other people are carrying out his work now in secret.

After twenty years of going it alone, we are delighted to announced that Ashgrove is now an imprint of Hollydata Publishers Limited, an independent and energetic publishing company.While still drawing inspiration from the beautiful Somerset countryside around the famous city of Bath, the list is now strengthened by a London connection -- by new ideas and new resources. This will enable us to be more effective in publishing books which help to balance the changing energies available to mind, body and spirit.Under the new imprint, Ashgrove Publishing, we hope to be at the interface where inspiration becomes practice through human endeavor. Our aim is to make books that are accessible and timely, well edited and produced and, above all, say something worth saying.We hope that our reinvigorated association with Words Distributing Company will help us reach new audiences in the U.S. Please let us know what you think of our books; we're keen to have your opinions and we welcome your feedback.For legions of regular runners, and for many of those now taking up the sport, physical and mental blocks can stop progress far short of full potential. Too often, an activity which should be pleasurable and fulfilling leads instead to frustration and physical injury. Basing their approach on the Alexander Technique principles of right use and lack of endgaining, the authors explore the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of safe, efficient, and effective -- and enjoyable -- running.

What was 'Nighttown' to James Joyce? Was it merely the sordid bordello district of Dublin where women could be purchased for a few shillings, or was it instead a 'scene' - a place of spectral and epiphanic transfiguration? Why does the figure of the Whore assume such enigmatic and archetypal importance in many of the Irish writer's texts? How did syphilis, which Joyce contracted at the age of 21, affect his life and writings? Beginning with a survey of the grim reality of prostitution in Trieste where the Irish writer lived, worked and wrote for the better part of sixteen years, and combining extensive research into local police and Austrian government archives with a series of close textual readings and a variety of theoretical approaches, Zois in Nighttown examines Joyce's life and writings in order to explain why prostitution and syphilis are such pervasive and disruptive discourses in Joyce, and how they are interwoven with many aspects of his personal life and literary works. Zois in Nighttown reaffirms the fundamental importance of Trieste for Joyce, and sheds new light on the many local factors: religious, social, linguistic, political and artistic which combined to influence the writer's thought and creative processes. The Trieste presented in these pages is neither the Belle Epoque capital of Claudio Magris, nor the picturesque 'la bella Trieste' of standard Joyce biography, but a chaotic and disturbing City of Night which, like its Central European counterparts of Prague and Vienna, provided the essential atmosphere and 'culture' for the revolutionary artistic masterpieces it produced.
