Book Description
Learn the entire fretboard in under an hour. Completely break out of the limiting CAGED box shapes. Be able to name the notes as you are playing at speed. Learn a framework which will allow you to move between modes and scales quickly and easily. The same framework will allow you to quite easily derive the major and minor pentatonic scales and major and minor blues scales from the major scale giving you a complete understanding of their inter-relationships. The framework presented in The Rosetta Pattern is fundamental to giving guitar players a solid foundation for future exploration and is essential to exploiting, width and breadth, the true power of the guitar -- and it's all easier than you've been led to believe. If you are a new player, or one that has not yet mastered the fretboard, modes or scales, this guitar book is an absolute necessity.

Book Description
Wanted: Translator for first contact. Immediate opening. Danger pay allowance.Estlin Hume lives in Twin Butte, Alberta surrounded by a horde of affectionate squirrels. His involuntary squirrel-attracting talent leaves him evicted, expelled, fired and near penniless until two aliens arrive and adopt him as their translator. Yanked around the world at the center of the first contact crisis, Estlin finds his new employers incomprehensible. As he faces the ultimate language barrier, unsympathetic military forces converging in the South Pacific keep threatening to kill the messenger. The question on everyone’s mind is why are the aliens here? But Estlin’s starting to think we’ll happily blow ourselves up in the process of finding that out."What makes The Rosetta Man stand-out? An unusually dense squirrel population for sci-fi. It’s light-hearted, accessible sci-fi with exotic present day settings and a pair of aliens who are focused on observing the revealing chaos their visit creates." - Claire McCague, author "The Rosetta Man" - Claire McCague, author

Wanted: First Contact Translator. Salary Commensurate With Experience Estlin Hume awakes alone in his home outside of Twin Butte, Alberta, to find that he’s surrounded by aliens, soldiers, scientists, spies, and affectionate squirrels.

Adopted by a pair of newly arrived aliens to serve as their translator, Estlin is trapped at the center of a first contact crisis. Unfortunately, the aliens have silently climbed the nearest tree, leaving him to contend with the hundreds of cuttlefish. He is inundated with ill-advised governmental and military directives—punctuated by random acts of violence from unknown nefarious agents—as everyone is determined to find out for themselves what the aliens really want. No matter the cost! No matter the outcome!

The Rosetta Cylinder

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
Steven Carter’s father, Don, is dying in New York, and they’ve barely spoken in two years. He rushes home at his mother’s behest and is informed of a memoir written by his father. Although Steven has thought his father was a bit crazy sometimes, his mother, Diane, tells him a different story—one that takes place in Peru, in 1985, when Don discovers a golden cylinder following a mountain-shattering earthquake. The cylinder is approximately twelve inches long and six inches in diameter—so small for something that would change the lives of Don and his wife and destroy so many others. Even in 1985, Don knows the cylinder is important and may hold powerful secrets; yet the secrets remained locked inside. The find quickly becomes something hunted by a variety of crooks and government officials, the subject of a bidding war between the United States and the Soviet Union, the two superpowers of 1985. Although thwarted by thugs, the CIA, the KGB, and the Peruvian government, Don and his mentor, Dr. Anton Steinert, manage to retrieve the cylinder—which is when Steven’s mother gets involved. In the present day, the truth is revealed in the words of a dying man—but whatever became of mysterious golden cylinder?

The Writing of the Gods
Author: Edward Dolnick
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501198939
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
The surprising and compelling story of two rival geniuses in an all-out race to decode one of the world's most famous documents--the Rosetta Stone--and their twenty-year-long battle to solve the mystery of ancient Egypt's hieroglyphs. The Rosetta Stone is one of the most famous objects in the world, attracting millions of visitors to the British museum ever year, and yet most people don't really know what it is. Discovered in a pile of rubble in 1799, this slab of stone proved to be the key to unlocking a lost language that baffled scholars for centuries. Carved in ancient Egypt, the Rosetta Stone carried the same message in different languages--in Greek using Greek letters, and in Egyptian using picture-writing called hieroglyphs. Until its discovery, no one in the world knew how to read the hieroglyphs that covered every temple and text and statue in Egypt. Dominating the world for thirty centuries, ancient Egypt was the mightiest empire the world had ever known, yet everything about it--the pyramids, mummies, the Sphinx--was shrouded in mystery. Whoever was able to decipher the Rosetta Stone, and learn how to read hieroglyphs, would solve that mystery and fling open a door that had been locked for two thousand years. Two brilliant rivals set out to win that prize. One was English, the other French, at a time when England and France were enemies and the world's two great superpowers. The Writing of the Gods chronicles this high-stakes intellectual race in which the winner would win glory for both himself and his nation. A riveting portrait of empires both ancient and modern, this is an unparalleled look at the culture and history of ancient Egypt and a fascinating, fast-paced story of human folly and discovery unlike any other.
