The Sacred Geometry of Washington, D.C. The Integrity and Power of the Original Design
By Nicholas Mann
An energy system of number and geometric proportion is present in the original design of the US capital. In this thoughtful examination of the city’s design, author Mann
describes how L’Enfant used Leonardo DaVinci’s principles of the Golden Section to lay out a graceful metropolis with an underlying logic of power
explores the persistent myth of Masonic influence on the original design
examines the principles of ley lines, feng shui and the earth’s energy grid
compares its underlying design principles to those the civilizations of ancient Greece, China and Egypt
In 1791, the immense, new Federal City designed by Frenchman Pierre L’Enfant defined and balanced the powers of the People, THE FASCINATING SIGNIFICANCE OF the States, the Judiciary, the Legislature and THE DESIGN OF THE US CAPITAL the President, giving symbolic form to the new democratic republic. But, over the centuries, imbalances have crept into the original plan, and Mann asks the dynamic, intriguing question:
If the symbolism of the capital city is intended to be a true expression of America’s heart and its innermost The Sacred Geometry of values, what can be done to restore the balance and Washington, D.C. integrity of its original, visionary principles?

SCB DISTRIBUTORS | 1 I, City
By Pavel Brycz Translated by Joshua Cohen and Marketa Hofmeisterova
I, City is a novel about the north Bohemian city of Most, an ancient city originally founded on primeval wetland and literally relocated because that wetland covered a coal field.
The city is the narrator of this unusual story: it tells its own story through its inhabitants, who make their appearances in fleeting, ghost-like vignettes, and Joycean epiphanies. The “I” is a whole consciousness – but enough removed from the town that it sees and knows everything, past and present.
The people of Most emerge from the swamp of the town’s founding with an historical mistrust of history and typical Czech irony. Here, in the city, fictional people say factual things and factual people (Kafka, the Pope, the last president of Communist Czechoslovakia, Gustav Husak) say fictional things.
This is post-modernity via Marquez and Magical Realism. MAGICAL REALISM IN EASTERN EUROPE Pavel Brycz was born in 1968. A graduate of Prague’s Theatre Academy, he produced the Czech slogan for KFC (roughly translated as “damned good chicken”). He is the author of six books. I, City won the Orten Prize and in 2004 Brycz became the youngest recipient of the State Prize for Literature. In English his work has appeared in the anthology Daylight I, City MARKETING in Nightclub Inferno (Catbird, 1997).

2 | SCB DISTRIBUTORS Zen Simply Sitting
By Philippe Coupey
“It doesn’t matter whether you are intelligent or stupid. There’s no difference between a dull and a smart person. Sincere concentrated effort is, in itself, the Way.”– Dogen
An unique translation of this irreverent classic, a short basic text on how to practice zazen, written by the Master Dogen in 1227. What’s new here that the text has been put into everyday English, and given a contemporary context by the author.
Based on Buddha’s teachings and venerated in the Zen tradition, this text is regularly recited in Zen temples. Though brief, it remains a source of inspiration and guidance for both beginners and advanced students as it has for centuries. Dogen invites the practitioner to give up intellectual understanding and simply direct light inward.

In 1945, a 4-star SS general, Hans Kammler, took a mysterious Nazi secret weapons project file code-named The Bell from its underground bunker in Germany onto a massive Junkers 390 ultra-long range aircraft. The Bell, Kammler, and the plans disappeared completely, along with the plane. It has been speculated that it flew to Argentina.
As a prelude to this disappearing act, the SS murdered most of the scientists and technicians involved with The Bell, which was a secret weapon that, according to one German Nobel prize-winning physicist, was given the highest security classification of Decisive-for-War.

10 | SCB DISTRIBUTORS Egypt: “Image of Heaven” The Planisphere and the Lost Cradle
By Willem H. Zitman
“The precision of the Egyptians was amazing by any standards, and there is no doubt that the Pyramids were astronomically designed.”– Patrick Moore
The ancient Egyptians were the first geographical planners to develop a system establishing an image of heaven on earth. Their pyramids and elaborate burial schemes assumed an earthy paradise for the dead.
Zitman is the first scholar to make sense of this entire era of pyramid building by revealing how time and space were perceived by the Egyptians as sacred ingredients, and that they mixed into a divine master plan, which here, for the first time, is unveiled in its entirety.
This book completes ten years of research EGYPTOLOGY AND ARCHEOLOGY into how the Pyramid Field depicts The INFORMED BY THE HEAVENS Constellation of Horus, the deity of power and invincibility. Is this depiction of Heaven on Earth an inheritance of the mythical Followers of Horus, who were said to rule Egyptian in Predynastic times?
Willem H. Zitman was born in 1941 and Egypt: worked as a building engineer and project “Image of Heaven” manager. For over 30 years, he studied The Planisphere and astronomy, astrology, and ancient the Lost Cradle chronology, and has applied these studies to Egyptology.

This collection presents, for the first time in English, a compilation of seven centuries of the mystic hymns of Turkey’s rebellious Sufi poets—the popular folk counterparts to Rumi, whose poems are characterized by a passionate and unorthodox commitment to truth.
At the time Rumi was writing, many other great mystics in the region were also composing wild, ecstatic and controversial poems which were circulated among the people as spiritual songs called nefes and illahis, still played and sung today in sacred Dervish ceremonies and gatherings. These poems were meant to swiftly penetrate the heart of the spiritual aspirant, and awaken seekers to their divine inheritance, a spiritual tradition from the Islamic world of mystic love.

SCB DISTRIBUTORS | 37 American Gothic The Art of Carlos Batts
By Carlos Batts Foreword by John Gilmore
“Startling, shocking, vivid, confrontational. Never less than fascinating and fearless.” – Ellen Datlow, Editor, Blood is Not Enough, Alien Sex, and The Dark
“If you put Matthew Barney and Helmut Newton’s masterpieces through a meat grinder and seasoned it with the Byzantine elegance of Duccio, the result would be the disturbing Gothic elegance of Carlos Batts’s work.”– Greg Reifsteck, Fangoria
Madness and genius collide in Carlos Batts’ answer to Grant Wood’s 1930 portrait of the same name: that granite-faced, pitchfork- totin’ embodiment of what this country was early last century. Today’s America is a very different matter. Fuse Romare Bearden with Man Ray, and you might come close to Batts’ vivisection of America’s diseased soul.
FRENZIED, EXPRESSIONISTIC HYBRIDS In 128 pages of experimental photography OF HORROR AND BEAUTY and mixed-media, Batts gives birth to the new.

By Simon Spurrier
The Blight arose from nowhere. It swept across the bickering nations like the End of Times and spared only those with a single fortuitous blood type.
As the numbers thinned and societies crumbled, the survivors picked their way between silent streets and looked out on the squalid new order...and reconsidered their good fortune.
Hotheaded religion and territorial savagery ruled the cities now. Somewhere amidst the chaos, a damaged man received a signal, and with it the tiniest flicker of hope ... and the chance to rediscover the humanity he lost, long ago, in the blood and filth and horror of the Cull.
AT THE APOCALYPSE, WHO WILL Simon Spurrier is an award-winning writer of STAND AGAINST THE CHAOS? novels and graphic novel fiction. He has worked for the UK’s talent-factory, 2000AD, published novels with Abaddon, the Black Library and Black Flame, and has won a series of accolades and prizes for screenwriting.

Entrepreneurs can be their own worst enemies. Often the very traits that lead them to start businesses are the same traits that keep those businesses from thriving. Their inherent vision, drive and risk-taking can lead to the demise of dreams because these qualities are not necessarily the personality traits that drive long-term business success.
And often, entrepreneurs can be blind to these home truths. Seeking dynamism and risk, these personalities experience dramatic money issues in their businesses as the norm.

By Emily Davidson and John Ulzheimer
Identity theft is pure financial terrorism and everyone is a potential target. If you have a pulse, you are a target. In 2005, some 9 million Americans suffered some form of identity theft, a sobering statistic.
Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the world – and contrary to popular belief, it is not a product of new technology or the Internet. Identity theft is a vicious personal crime committed by terrorists, organized crime, petty thieves, geeks, cyber-criminals, drug addicts, gangs, and even family members. They crawl through garbage cans, steal mail, sneak around offices, infect computers, scan credit and ATM cards, phish and pharm on the Internet, pose as telemarketers or court personnel, seek help moving money from third-world nations, announce lottery PROVEN ADVICE FROM winners, even work as home care providers A TOP-RATED CONSUMER GROUP for the elderly and chronically ill.
And because methods of identity theft are constantly evolving, consumers must constantly be aware of and sensitive to personal financial events.

By Daniel Cuppett
Most people feel two things after they’ve been in a car accident – or any accident: fear and anger. As a result, they don’t always make good decisions about how to act and what to say in the aftermath. Lawyers and insurance companies know this—and take advantage of the confusion.
In this book, an attorney with a successful personal injury practice gives ordinary consumers insider’s advice on what to do and what to say.
The book follows a chronological path from the moment an accident takes place through the final settlement of any legal disputes that follow. It deals with various scenarios—most importantly, whether the accident was your fault or someone else’s. And it considers the WHAT TO DO AND SAY IN THE many matters that aren’t legal—but just as MINUTES, HOURS AND WEEKS AFTER important to someone recovering physically, AN ACCIDENT emotionally and financially from an accident.

Profound misconceptions about slavery are still accepted by American historians:
captured Africans made no collective resistance to slavery self-liberated Africans fled north, rather than south to the free territories of Georgia and Florida
The so-called Seminole Wars were actually an African-Indian vs. colonists war – which the colonists disguised to prevent the conflict from inflaming uprisings among enslaved Africans. In fact, Seminole is a Native Creek word meaning runaway – and runaways were Indian resisters of the defeated Creek Confederacy and African slaves seeking freedom.
the Seminole Indians were never a historic Indian tribe prior to these wars the Creek Chief Osceola and John Horse’s supporters lived and fought side-by-side in Florida Osceola’s wife was an African, Morning Dew THE SEMINOLE WARS WERE A SLAVE INSURRECTION though their political aims were different, they united to fight an anti-colonial war of liberation

SCB DISTRIBUTORS | 71 Androphilia A Homosexual Fetishist’s Manifesto
By Jack Malebranche
“There are so many books exploring “gay” identity on the market and most are saturated with politcal correctness and feminism. For too long the great heritage of homosexuality has been ignored... A wake up call to those who smell the scent of real masculinity!” – Robert Block – Living Traditions Magazine
Androphilia presents homosexual desire in men not as a fixed orientation, but as a sexual fetish or taste.
This is simutaneously a self-assured embrace of homosexuality and an indictment of mainstream gay culture’s celebration of perpetual victimhood, effeminacy and feminist gender theory.
Jack Malebranche rejects the gay moniker HOMOSEXUALITY AS SEXUAL FETISH completely, using instead the term androphilia—literally, the love of men—to specifically discuss the unique dynamic of sexual desire and brotherly love between adult men. Writing off the modern gay movement as latter day Uranism and the gay identity as the appropriation of an emasculating stigma, Malebranche calls instead for the celebration of innate Androphilia A Homosexual masculinity and an end to the self-loathing Fetishist’s Manifesto and male-bashing that characterizes contemporary gay discourse.

“If queerness and gender, family and friendship, fierceness and pride are the stock-in-trade of Bergman’s work, an earthy, good-humored reverence for humanity in all its variegated forms is its foundation.” – Hanne Blank, author of Big Big Love

SCB DISTRIBUTORS | 73 Curating Immateriality
Edited by Joasia Krysa
How has the Internet changed art curation? And what socio-political pressure does cyberspace bring to bear on the work of the curator? Articulated through two key issues, immateriality and network systems, this book considers how the practice of curating has been transformed by distributed networks.
Because curatorial production has now been expanded to include the space of the Internet, the focus of curatorial attention has been extended from the object to processes to dynamic network systems, multiple agents and software. This upgraded ‘operating system’ of art presents new possibilities of online curating that is collective and distributed — even a self- organizing system that curates itself. The curator is part of this entire system but not central to it. Chapters include:

SCB DISTRIBUTORS | 91 Real Girls
By Scott Lanes
Scott F. Lanes gives us a peek at the beautiful girl next door in this sexy, seductive and naked exploration of the pure beauty of natural, young models.
It is often said that nothing is more timeless than the beauty of the female nude, but there are fewer things which have a shorter cultural shelf life. Every era has produced its own distinctive style of erotic imagery. And, more than any other photographic subject, the nude resists being separated from its social context; photographers who try overlook one of the most crucial demands placed upon erotic photography. Gauging the sexual aesthetic requires a feeling for the relationship between subject and observer at that particular moment, and these images capture an immediate, moment of natural trust with the camera and the viewer.
AUTHENTIC, CONTEMPORARY WOMEN Scott Lanes began his career in photography at 17, taking photos for Boston newspapers, AP and UPI. After college, he did corporate, editorial and commercial work. He began shooting erotica in 1999 and has been published in Skin Two, Secret, Prometheus and Schlagzeilen. Shown in galleries throughout North America, his prints are in private collections around the world. He lives in Real Girls Salem, Massachusetts, with his wife.

92 | SCB DISTRIBUTORS Fresh Girls of Seduction
By Dave Naz
“... a true southern California artist. His sexy imagery is casual without pretense. When one looks beyond the surface, the work is seen as much more: a cultural artifact giving clues to the sexual identities and persona of our time.”– Chas Ray Krider
The mystique of the young girl receives a sustained erotic performance of innocence and sexual frankness in Fresh. Naz compounds the intensity through his range of setups, enabling these adult women, who exude the Lolita type, to playfully suggest or display their sexual allure. Of course Lolita is not as entirely innocent as she and half of society would have you believe, and Dave Naz has gathered an eclectic mix of candidates to complete the Lolita fantasy or confirm the certainty of its debasing potency.
Dave Naz was born in Los Angeles in 1969, INNOCENT EROTICISM and grew up at the intersection of Beverly Hills glamour and Hollywood grime. In 1987, he left to make music onstage with Nirvana, the Ramones, Mud Honey, L7, and other bands. In 1995, with no formal training, he picked up a camera and started photographing people. Since 1998, Naz’s photographs have appeared in over thirty Fresh gallery shows. His work has been featured in Girls of Seduction Black + White, FHM, GQ, Leg World, Maxim, Nerve, Salon, Stern.de, and other prominent venues.
