Volume III completes almost 10 years of extensive research into colloquial and figurative English. The series, Most Comprehensive Origins of Clichés, Proverbs and Figurative Expressions is on the cutting edge of research of both the origins and the continuing evolution of English sayings, idioms and expressions, delving back in time to determine the most probable way the expressions began, following their path through the changes of the ages, and noting current trends of changing connotations. It even recalls some phrases from the past which are now antiquated, while picking up on others which are so fresh that they have barely been introduced. Better than any other printed work available today, it expounds on each entry and gives detailed results on years of study of the English spoken and written jargon, not only in America, but in the U.K. and Australasia, as well as numerous foreign expressions commonly used by English speaking journalists, authors and the general public. These three volumes contain the largest work of its type in print today, and a separate index book is being released simultaneously to this volume tying them all together, giving fingertip access to well over 4,000 entries. It is truly a unique work, and will set a high bar for future work in this field. The previous volumes have been included in libraries across America, and have received rave reviews from teachers, ministers, newspaper reporters and many others. The original volume has been accepted for a reference for a Doctorate Degree at a major university and to teach English as a second language, as well as being a conversation piece while entertaining company.

Dr. Viktor Frankl, an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist, as well as a Nazi concentration camp survivor, was of the belief that choosing your attitude, in any given set of circumstances, is the highest level of freedom that exists. In braving the expanse to break free from the confines of socioeconomic and cultural molds, it becomes possible to realize such a transformation; we are, after all, Beings with limitless potential. It can be said that spiritual alchemy is the road-map to self realization; a journey where we must get out of our own way so that we can find (and achieve) the highest possible purity of ourselves in order to attain that which we all seek: the ultimate freedom of inner liberation.

About 40 years ago I wrote this story with the help of ideas from my young adopted son, Scott, who was sadly taken from us a few years ago because of a long-term, off and on drug addiction. Scott was one of the most loving people I have ever known. Thinking about it has been almost unbearable. During much of his youth I was away from home a lot of the time due to my work. I have partially blamed myself for his problems. I cannot bring back the past, but through my involvement with Kiwanis I have tried to make life better for the youth in my community, and through the work of various funds, Kiwanis International has had a great influence on the lives of countless young people, from infancy through university. They sponsor clubs in schools like Builders Club, Key Club and Circle K. In communities around the world they have helped to eliminate disease and hunger. The Kiwanis Children's Fund donates funds responsibly to help children around the world. A portion of all sales of this book will go to this marvelous fund.

Though some modern authors may contend that this poignant novel does not portray a totally accurate assessment of the life and attitudes of the 17th American President, these intriguing pages contain a great deal more truth than error. It most definitely reflects the state of the Union at the time in which it was set, contrasting a nation divided by slavery and other social issues, and unveils tasty morsels of history not openly discussed in our present day. The title of this saga, presented in three books, representing phases in Lincoln's life, is based on the words uttered by Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton, upon the death of the President from the assassin's shot that fateful evening of Friday, 15 April 1865. At 7:22 AM the following morning, while his closest friends gathered about, the doctor placed his hands across Lincoln's chest and whispered, "He is gone." As everyone knelt, a minister committed his spirit to God, and Stanton spoke those immortal words: "Now he belongs to the ages." Though containing some archaic expressions, spellings and punctuation, proper in the era in which it was penned, which are no longer used, it is truly a remarkable work.

When perception contradicts accepted theory, the scientific method, the fundamental doctrine of modern science, demands that scientists investigate and modify those theories to be consistent with all observed phenomena. Science Restored begins with relatively common human perceptions, shows with well-documented historical research why those perceptions are ignored by scientists, and proposes methods to begin investigations to correct the modern science theories. Most humans experience thoughts and perceptions that do not have a known physical basis. Modern science tells us to ignore such things, claiming they are delusions, imagination, insanity, "shit happens," etc. Most less-educated people believe in things that are not physical. Who is correct? Based on historical research, Science Restored shows that the founders of modern science were forced by the Inquisition to ignore such phenomena, and even to make public statements that the phenomena were not real. Today, most scientists believe what they were told by their predecessors. Those who question the text books are not allowed to investigate: they know they would lose their funding, their research support, the respect of their peers, and the right to publish their results in mainstream professional journals. In short, a modern day scientist who attempts to investigate the topics prohibited by the church would be tortured and killed . . . professionally. This state of continued restrictions can only be overcome by making the knowledge contained in Science Restored more commonly know. Science Restored provides research directions, including relatively simple experimental designs, that would lead to unending advancements of science.

As the creator of your life, you are the master of your own reality. To live a fully intentional life, as a Master, all of the choices and decisions that you make must be aligned with the core of who you are. In essence, magic can be described as "changing reality in accordance to comply with your will, your love and your imagination" (words attributed to Suzanne Hosang) meaning that magic is all about using your intention to create something that you want, to create something that you desire. The moment you accept, and acknowledge, that you are the creator of your reality, that you create everything in your life, the good, the bad, the ugly, you have embraced the ethical code of the Magician. This is the moment wherein you welcome the fact that you are in a powerful position to change whatever it is that you do not like about your current life. Of course, so, too, does this mean that you must be willing to embrace change, otherwise life becomes stagnant, boring, dull. Courtesy of the reading of this second book, filled with both I AM statements, as well as I AM affirmations, that have significantly impacted my life, I trust that you will begin to see new opportunities, new possibilities, new potentialities for living a totally magical life.

Knowing that you create with every breath that you take, whether you believe this to be true or not, it is imperative that you learn to create from a conscious (awakened) and deliberate state of existence. As the Magician, you possess the ultimate level of control over your life and the events within. It is the Magician that takes responsibility for who he/she is and what he/she can do. You are comprised of the very same energy that permeates the entirety of the universe; this is the energy, the power, the force, that you have available to you. Becoming a Magician is about shaping your life consciously and with loving intent. Courtesy of the reading of this first book, you will be able to glean the necessary tools to assist with understanding the world on a metaphysical plane.

There are numerous reasons why persons in the public eye change their names (or have it done for them). For instance, why did Rudolf Walter Wanderone, Jr. and James A. Moore, Jr. both take the names of fictional characters that they claimed were based on them and how did doing so change their lives forever? At least 20 featured stars who took stage names were from Jewish immigrant families. Many were impoverished; some were abused; several were forced to work as young children to help pay bills. Many were from broken homes, and some never knew their biological fathers, often being placed in foster care. One worked as a prostitute, one a bootlegger, and one was a drug dealer. Several were jailed. One was expelled from school and many were dropouts. How did these broken individuals make it to the top of their fields? It took grit, encouragement, and likely, a new name. These are the stories of popular actors, singers, dancers, authors, sports figures, magicians, entrepreneurs, and broadcasters, each determined to create a public persona which he or she felt was worthy of his or her audience.

In what may just be the most detailed, accurate and comprehensive book of its type ever published, Stanley J. St. Clair, author of On the Origin of the Clichés and Evolution of Idioms, delves deep into the history of phrases and common English expressions, exposing numerous misconceptions and incorrect previously published origins. By enlarging the page size, using smaller print, and removing the illustrations and humorous antidotes, St. Clair is able to include all of the entries in his two previous volumes and double the combined number in this remarkable work.Many of our common catchphrases are actually misquotes, often even attributed wrongly. Did you know that "Me Tarzan, you Jane" was never used in any Tarzan book or movie? Are you aware of the fact that "Elementary, my dear Watson" never appeared in any of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes novels? Then from where did these quotes originate? Did you know that "umpteenth time" was in use almost 100 years before top printed sources claim? Did you know that "God willing and the Creeks don't rise" originally had nothing to do with streams of water? Did you know that "How do you like them apples?" was not referring to the fruit, and that the date of its first appearance in print is often wrongly stated?Unlike most phrase dictionaries, in many cases this work not only gives the definition and most likely origin, but early citations as well. With entries as ancient as "By the skin of my teeth" to as new as "Kicking the can down the road," this comprehensive work is sure to appeal to seekers of truth everywhere. The author welcomes your comments. This is the first of three books in this series.
