In 1557, Nostradamus published a collection of four-line rhyming prophetic verses called Squatrains. The initial collection was supposed to have 1000 prophecies. However, only 942 survived--until now. Can a cynical college professor and his two rebellious teenagers find the 58 lost prophecies of Nostradamus and use them to stop an impending terrorist attack, and will anyone believe them?

Nostradamus made simple-a surefire prophecy of success! Michel Notredame, or Nostradamus (1503-1566), was a French physician, astrologer, and prophet whose books of visionary four-line verses have intrigued and beguiled readers for hundreds of years. Now, with this fun and easy guide, everyone can finally get a handle on Nostradamus and his "Centuries" of prophecies, which many people believe to have predicted the French Revolution, the rise of Hitler, the Kennedy assassination, and 9/11, among other events. The book covers Nostradamus's life and beliefs, his use of cryptic language and anagrams, interpretations of his work that link it to specific historical incidents, and critics who are skeptical of his prophecies. It also explores the implications of his work on the past, present, and future, and much more!

First published in 2000. GHIAS uddin Abul Fath Omar bin Ibrahim al Khayyam was born early in the 5th century A.H. in the province of Khorasan, and lived during the greater part of his life at Nishapur, one of the chief cities of that province, where he died in 517 A.H. This is a collection of the Persian text with an English Tense Translation.

This set examines the history and culture of Persia through its rich language and literature. It includes Griffith's translation of Jami's outstanding work, Yusuf and Zulaikha. The Warner brothers nine-volume triumph represents one of the first attempts to provide the subject matter of the great epic, Shahnama in English; and Haug's foundational essays present all the materials needed for understanding the scriptures and religion of the Parsis.

Reprint of the original, first published in 1882.

This is a poetrybook entitled, The Taj Mahal: Quatrains 1 to 80". This is a long ode to the Taj Mahal. This is a third edition. The poetrybook is divided into 4 chapters. Each chapter has 5 sonts. Each sont has 4 quatrains. The total number of quatrains is 80 quatrains since: 4 chapters x 5 sonts/chapter x 4 quatrains/sont = 80 quatrains. What is a "sont"? The poet invents the word "sont" to differentiate his poems from a "sonnet". The poet defines "sont" as a "16 line poem". A "sonnet" is a 14 line poem. The long poem was first written between September-October 2002 in Milpitas (California). The long poem is now published via lulu.com on November 11, 2016, Friday as a first edition. The third edition is released on January 3, 2017. The original long poem is 100 quatrains but I cut off the 100 quatrains to 80 quatrains for this book. The remaining 20 quatrains is transferred to a sequel. The author plans to release a second poetrybook or a sequel about the Taj Mahal by 2017.
