DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor four centuries, open-minded scholars have been questioning the validity of the most famous English author - William Shakespeare! These groups of scholars have argued that the acknowledged author from Stratford-Upon-Avon may not have written the works attributed to him, and instead believe that "Shake-speare" was a pseudonym for another author. This Novel covers the secret life of the 16th Century English philosopher and statesman, Sir Francis Bacon, one of the strong candidates for the Shakespeare crown. Weaving historical events together with fiction to take the reader on a roller coaster ride as it unravel the long hidden secret life about this enigmatic English figure, you will share the highs and lows of his political career, his life as an English secret agent, secret societies, the hidden secrets of his royal Tudor lineage, loves won and lost, his forays into mysticism, and his hand in the authorship of the works of Shakespeare. Kenric McKenzie, author of Spear-Shaker: Francis Bacon's Legacy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Shakers produced many incredible furniture objects that we continue to venerate today. For the woodworker the fascination is often rooted in the essential simplicity of the work. Interest in Shaker design is as strong today as it was when the first edition of this book was published in 1977, possibly stronger. This ongoing interest is the direct result of the inherent beauty of Shaker design—beauty that stems not only from form, but from superb workmanship, a commitment to utility and a total understanding of material.
