From the author who brought you Dracula comes a dark tale of possession and ancient magic. An eccentric archeologist has become obsessed with the mummy of the Egyptian queen Tera. His attempts to raise her from the dead have left him in a catatonic stupor. It now falls on his daughter Margaret and the young lawyer Malcolm Ross to discover the secrets of this ancient curse in time to stop Tera from inflicting her will on Victorian England. Bram Stoker¿s spine-tingling novel, based on his own interest in Egyptology, helped give rise to a new horror genre featuring mummies.

Are traditional notions of morality actually the means of enslaving the human spirit? This is the claim of Friedrich Nietzsche in Beyond Good and Evil. Nietzsche is one of the most controversial of European philosophers. His bold attacks on Christianity, and the advocacy of a fearless approach to the uncertainties of life, have earned him both criticism and praise from disparate quarters. This book embodies the author¿s attempt to summarize and enhance his previous work. Beyond Good and Evil is Nietzsche at his most concise and systematic, and is a good starting point for the novice.

The Principles of Scientific Management, by Frederick Winslow Taylor - Akasha Classics, AkashaPublishing.Com - President Roosevelt in his address to the Governors at the White House, prophetically remarked that "The conservation of our national resources is only prelimi-nary to the larger question of national efficiency." The whole country at once recognized the importance of conserving our material resources and a large movement has been started which will be effective in accomplishing this object. As yet, however, we have but vaguely appreciated the importance of "the larger question of increasing our national efficiency." We can see our forests vanishing, our water-powers going to waste, our soil being carried by floods into the sea; and the end of our coal and our iron is in sight. But our larger wastes of human effort, which go on every day through such of our acts as are blundering, ill-directed, or inefficient, and which Mr. Roosevelt refers to as a, lack of "national efficiency," are less visible, less tangible, and are but vaguely appreciated.
