- May 13, 2010 I still don't think there's been anything in horror quite like Kathe Koja's debut novel, The Cipher (Feb 1991, Dell/Abyss). These days she writes only young-adult fiction, but close to 20 years ago she was, as far as I was concerned at the time, the absolute cutting edge of horror.
Nicholas, ein Möchtegern-Dichter, und Nakota, seine animalische Geliebte, entdecken ein merkwürdiges Loch in einer Abstellkammer am Ende des Gangs: 'Reines Schwarz und etwas Pulsierendes, besonders, wenn man zu genau hinsieht, das Gefühl, dass dort etwas nicht lebt, aber dennoch lebendig ist...' Es beginnt mit Neugier, mit einem Spaß - das Geisterloch am Ende des Gangs. Aber dann beginnt - das Experiment: 'Wäre es nicht absolut geil, dort hinabzusteigen?', fragt Nakota. Und Nicholas antwortet: 'Ja, aber wir werden's nicht tun...' Doch vom ersten Moment an haben sie keinerlei Kontrolle über dieses Experiment - und Experimente dieser Art führen zu Obsessionen, zu Gewalt und zur unumkehrbaren Veränderung eines jeden, der dem Geisterloch zu nahe kommt. So gerät Nicholas immer stärker in den Sog des schwarzen Abgrunds, der alles zu verschlingen droht... THE CIPHER wurde im Jahr 1991 mit dem Bram Stoker-Award ausgezeichnet und erst kürzlich als einer der Top-Ten-Debüt-Romane bezeichnet, welche die Welt im Sturm erobert haben (io9.com). Der Apex-Verlag veröffentlicht THE CIPHER als neu übersetzte Ausgabe, ergänzt um ein Vorwort der Autorin. 'Ein gewaltiger Erstlingsroman – ebenso erregend wie erschreckend.' (Publishers Weekly) 'Von Anfang bis Ende eine ätherische Achterbahnfahrt.' (The Detroit Press) 'The Cipher... verbindet unerbittliche poetische Sprache mit dem Verschwenderisch-Groteskem.' (BoingBoing) 'Kathe Koja ist eine Poetin - von jener Art, die es vorzieht, in heruntergekommenen Bars statt in Universitäten zu lesen, aber zweifellos eine Poetin.' (The New York Review Of Science Fiction)

The Cipher of Genesis unlocks the key to the lost traditions of the Book of Genesis, offering profound implications for faiths rooted in the Hebrew Testament -- Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Jesus knew this secret wisdom and attempted to teach it, but that message remained with only a few. For the most part, the first book of the Bible has been dismissed as simplistic and archaic, a literal retelling of the creation of the world in seven days, the story of Adam and Eve, and generational listings. Suares's essential argument is that the words in Genesis cannot simply be translated; one must understand the code, or the true meaning behind the words remains hidden. Each letter of the Hebrew alphabet represents a specific number, which signifies the living archetypal forces moving within the universe. Reading Genesis with knowledge of the code can project these forces into our very being and bring about the experience of Revelation. Among Suares's key points are the evident ramifications of the hidden teachings on parts of the New Testament. It is from this perspective that he interprets the Gospels of Matthew and John in a new and thought-provoking way. Suares unlocks the secrets of the Bible to reveal the ultimate aim of higher consciousness through the coded process of Revelation.

Seit 150 Jahren versuchen die New Yorker, den geheimnisvollen Schattencode zu entschlüsseln. Viele halten ihn bloß für ein Märchen, eine Legende, eine Touristenattraktion. Doch was, wenn der Code nur auf die Richtigen gewartet hat? Auch die Zwillinge Tess und Theo und ihr Freund Jaime folgen den Hinweisen des Schattencodes und begeben sich dabei auf eine abenteuerliche Schnitzeljagd quer durch ein fantastisches New York, das voller Geheimnisse und Gefahren steckt. Die Geschwister Morningstar waren geniale Architekten und Erfinder. Sie bauten in den Himmel ragende Türme mit zickzackfahrenden Aufzügen, unzähligen Geheimgängen und intelligenten Maschinen. Aber eines Tages waren die Morningstars spurlos verschwunden. Zurück blieben nur ihre berühmten Gebäude und ein mysteriöser Code, dessen Auflösung unvorstellbare Reichtümer verspricht. 150 Jahre später finden die Zwillinge Tess und Theo und ihr Nachbar Jaime einen neuen Hinweis auf den bislang ungelösten Code- und der kommt genau im richtigen Moment! Denn sie müssen unbedingt den Abriss ihres Apartmenthauses verhindern. Und es scheint, als habe der Code nur auf sie gewartet ...

A compulsively readable account of the most mysterious manuscript in the world, one that has stumped the world’s greatest scholars and codebreakers. The Voynich Manuscript, a mysterious tome discovered in 1912 by the English book dealer Wilfrid Michael Voynich, has puzzled scholars for a century. A small six inches by nine inches, but over two hundred pages long, with odd illustrations of plants, astrological diagrams, and naked women, it is written in so indecipherable a language and contains so complicated a code that mathematicians, book collectors, linguists, and historians alike have yet to solve the mysteries contained within. However, in The Friar and the Cipher, the acclaimed bibliophiles and historians Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone describe, in fascinating detail, the theory that Roger Bacon, the noted thirteenth-century, pre-Copernican astronomer, was its author and that the perplexing alphabet was written in his hand. Along the way, they explain the many proposed solutions that scholars have put forth and the myriad attempts at labeling the manuscript's content, from Latin or Greek shorthand to Arabic numerals to ancient Ukrainian to a recipe for the elixir of life to good old-fashioned gibberish. As we journey across centuries, languages, and countries, we meet a cast of impassioned characters and case-crackers, including, of course, Bacon, whose own personal scientific contributions, Voynich author or not, were literally and figuratively astronomical. The Friar and the Cipher is a wonderfully entertaining and historically wide-ranging book that is one part The Code Book, one part Possession, and one part The Da Vinci Code and will appeal to bibliophiles and laypeople alike.

The philosophical study of technology has acquired only recently a voice in academic conversation. This situation is due, in part, to the fact that technology obviously impacts on 'the real world,' whereas the favored stereotype of philosophy allegedly does not. Furthermore, in some circles it was assumed that philosophy ought not impinge on the world. This bias continues today in the form of a general dismissal of the growing area now referred to as 'applied philosophy'. By contrast, the academic scrutiny of science has for the most part been accepted as legitimate for some 30 years, primarily because it has been conducted in a somewhat ethereal manner. This is, in part, because it was believed that, science being pure, one could think (even philosophically) about science without jeopardizing one's intellectual purity. Since World War II, however, practitioners of the metascientific arts have come to ac knowledge that science also shows signs of having touched down on numerous occasions in what can only be identified as the real world. No longer able to keep this banal truth a secret, purists have sought to defuse its import by stressing the difference between pure and applied science; and, lest science be tainted by contact with the world through its applications, they have devoted additional energy to separating applied science somehow from technology.

This is the first comprehensive study of an ingenious number-notation from the Middle Ages that was devised by monks and mainly used in monasteries. A simple notation for representing any number up to 99 by a single cipher, somehow related to an ancient Greek shorthand, first appeared in early-13th-century England, brought from Athens by an English monk. A second, more useful version, due to Cistercian monks, is first attested in the late 13th century in what is today the border country between Belgium and France: with this any number up to 9999 can be represented by a single cipher. The ciphers were used in scriptoria - for the foliation of manuscripts, for writing year-numbers, preparing indexes and concordances, numbering sermons and the like, and outside the scriptoria - for marking the scales on an astronomical instrument, writing year-numbers in astronomical tables, and for incising volumes on wine-barrels. Related notations were used in medieval and Renaissance shorthands and coded scripts. This richly-illustrated book surveys the medieval manuscripts and Renaissance books in which the ciphers occur, and takes a close look at an intriguing astrolabe from 14th-century Picardy marked with ciphers. With Indices. 'Mit Kings luzider Beschreibung und Bewertung der einzelnen Funde und ihrer Beziehungen wird zugleich die Forschungsgeschichte - die bis dato durch Widerspruechlichkeit und Diskontinuität geprägt ist - umfassend aufgearbeitet.' Zeitschrift fuer Germanistik.
