The Bridges of Avalon: Science, Spirit, and the Quest for Unity is more than just another attempt to join the worlds of scientific objectivity and human spirituality. It is also a chronicle of truth-seeking; a story of two everyday people whose lives were touched by the hand of an invisible presence, and who followed the path that beckoned in its wake. Two paths became one; a path of friendship, research, and ever growing understanding as Nick Reiter and Lori Schillig formed The Avalon Foundation in 1996. Now for the first time in print, Nick and Lori present their experiences and discoveries in the realms of alien abductions, psychic research, energy healing, and paranormal investigation. The tales herein will touch any who have experienced first-hand "the mysterious" in their life, and bring fresh thought and speculation to those who have studied these topics in a scholarly way. Whether you are a researcher, spiritual seeker, student, or just another wonderfully everyday person who has dared to dream and ponder that which lies "beyond", the bridges of Avalon await your footsteps!

In New York’s Golden Age of Bridges, artist Antonio Masi teams up with writer and New York City historian Joan Marans Dim to offer a multidimensional exploration of New York City’s nine major bridges, their artistic and cultural underpinnings, and their impact worldwide. The tale of New York City’s bridges begins in 1883, when the Brooklyn Bridge rose majestically over the East River, signaling the start of America’s “Golden Age” of bridge building. The Williamsburg followed in 1903, the Queensboro (renamed the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge) and the Manhattan in 1909, the George Washington in 1931, the Triborough (renamed the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge) in 1936, the Bronx-Whitestone in 1939, the Throgs Neck in 1961, and the Verrazano-Narrows in 1964. Each of these classic bridges has its own story, and the book’s paintings show the majesty and artistry, while the essays fill in the fascinating details of its social, cultural, economic, political, and environmental history. America’s great bridges, built almost entirely by immigrant engineers, architects, and laborers, have come to symbolize not only labor and ingenuity but also bravery and sacrifice. The building of each bridge took a human toll. The Brooklyn Bridge’s designer and chief engineer, John A. Roebling, himself died in the service of bridge building. But beyond those stories is another narrative—one that encompasses the dreams and ambitions of a city, and eventually a nation. At this moment in Asia and Europe many modern, largescale, long-span suspension bridges are being built. They are the progeny of New York City’s Golden Age bridges. This book comes along at the perfect moment to place these great public projects into their historical and artistic contexts and to inform and delight artists, engineers, historians, architects, and city planners. In addition to the historical and artistic perspectives, New York’s Golden Age of Bridges explores the inestimable connections that bridges foster, and reveals the extraordinary impact of the nine Golden Age bridges on the city, the nation, and the world.
