Alchemy is one of the most evocative subjects in the history of science. Alchemy made important contributions to the development of modern science while firing popular imagination so strongly that portrayals of the alchemist at work pervaded the arts. The more celebrated goals of alchemy, like transmutation of base metals into gold, still tease and tantalize. Transmutations offers a thoughtful look at the role of the alchemist in the 17th and 18th centuries, as depicted in a selection of paintings from the Eddleman and Fisher Collections housed at the Chemical Heritage Foundation. This beautiful full-color book reveals much about the beginnings of chemistry as a profession.

Rear cover notes: "This English edition of the works of Louis Kervran is intended for everyone: scholar, layman, or college student. It could have been directed to a scholar's mind exclusively, presenting itself to him in cold scientific terms, but this would have slowed down progress. If, in Mr. Kervran's words, scientists 'have made of science another job,' it would not be ethical to present it to them alone. The problems of ecology, medicine, and nutrition, and the alarming rise of radioactivity are too acute to be dealt with solely through academic channels. It is within everyone's ability to comprehend the biological transmutations as long as there is a desire for true knowledge. The understanding of the biological transmutations requires nothing more than the casting aside of all rigid thought while studying them. Transmutation is no more and no less than a reality that teaches us about change. In change we find life, and by change we create life. Our only constant is our goal of becoming Man. The principles of biological transmutation affect every phase of our existence. They are already being applied without patent or license by industrial and business companies who are marketing industrial, dietetic and pharmaceutical products based on Kervran's research. Transmutations are now recognized in medicine. They have opened the door to new treatments and therapeutics for reputedly 'incurable' diseases. There are solutions already projected for curing arteriosclerosis, rheumatism, excessive arterial tensions, decalcification, kidney stones, hormonal deficiencies, etc., all in a natural way, without danger to the patient. Agronomists are already practicing Kervran's findings on a large scale. Dietitians are the biggest beneficiaries, because dietetics is too close to a man's body and soul to remain an academic and isolated science...."

This book is the best compilation and finest translation of three of the major works of Prof. Kervan. It is intended for everyone: Scholar, layman or students. It was not directed particularly to the scholar's mind and couched in cold scientific terms: thus it is within everyone's ability to comprehend the biological transmutations theory and it's practical applications. Based on Kervan's research, the principles of BT are being applied without patent or licence by industry and business for dietetic and remedial products. In medicine the principle is also recognized, it has opened the door to new treatments and therapeutics for reputedly "incurable" diseases. Agronomists and dieticians, food industries and natural food processors, natural leaven bakers and picklers particularly are the biggest beneficiaries because maintaining food's value is too close to man's body and sou; to remain an academic and isolated science. BT is no more and no less than a reality that teaches us about change; in change we find life and by change we create life. This law of change of the elements uncovered by Kervan has created a movement by millions of people who now eat in a natural way. In a very meaningful way, Mr. Kervan has given this scientific chaotic world the Aladdin's lamp by which we can save ourselves and our diseased earth. --- from book's back cover

As the millennium draws to a close, a Gothic spirit once again penetrates much of today's art and culture. Over the past decade, American and European artists have grown increasingly fascinated with the dark and uncanny side of the human psyche—the theatrical and grotesque, the violent and destructive. Taking its starting point and title from the Gothic novel, this book investigates the full-blown revival of a Gothic sensibility in contemporary art; in American and British fiction labeled the "New Gothic"; in film with its long tradition of horror; and in video, music, fashion, design, and underground culture. Gothic accompanies an exhibition at The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, of twenty-three artists who produce horror as well as amazement through often ugly, fragmented, and contorted forms. Some employ a detached and reductive formal language to transmute images of excessive and gruesome violence, nevertheless achieving an equally disconcerting impact. The old Gothic themes of the fantastic and pathological are infused with new potency as they address concerns about the body, disease, voyeurism, and power. Essays by John Gianvito, Christoph Grunenberg, James Hannaham, Patrick McGrath, Joyce Carol Oates, Shawn Rosenheim, Csaba Toth, and Anne Williams, and a short story by Dennis Cooper, explore the Gothic in history and in contemporary art and culture. Artists: Julie Becker, Monica Carocci, Dinos and Jake Chapman, Gregory Crewdson, Keith Edmier, James Elaine, Robert Gober, Douglas Gordon, Wolfgang Amadeus Hansbauer, Jim Hodges, Cameron Jamie, Mike Kelley, Abigail Lane, Zoe Leonard, Tony Oursler, Sheila Pepe, Alexis Rockman, Aura Rosenberg, Pieter Schoolwerth, Cindy Sherman, Jeanne Silverthorne, Gary Simmons. Copublished with The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston.

One of Richard Rose's earlier works written for those who have found a direction through his lectures and other books. It is an examination of the role of tension in life, the creation and conservation of human energy, and the use of that energy for spiritual attainment.
