Produktbeschreibung
Lilith, the Princess of Darkness, gives a tour of some spine-chilling episodes in human experience that gives us the opportunity to consider how rational beings can embark on self-destructive campaigns. The Princess is also a provocateur who uses ingenious recitation of old facts. This work presents challenges with stark insights and bold interpretations. Examining events through multiple prisms reveals hidden connections and intricate designs that produce exquisite models of evil, forming a delicate tapestry of cruelty deserving to be hung in the Louvre of desolation.The chain of dismal episodes forms a litany of horror that embraces mankind in Lilith's kiss of death. Each event can be strung on a golden cord, forming a necklace of black pearls. The Sisyphean struggle to create a better world involves events that are heartbreaking because the tragedies they embody could easily be avoided with only a small application of rational thought. Such temptation is seductive, however, because reason seldom prevails unless accompanied by a sprinkling of humor.
Autorenporträt
Robert Monzingo's academic background is in engineering, and he holds a B.S. degree from Stanford, an M.S. degree from the University of Arizona and a Sc.D degree from Washington University, in St. Louis. He is now retired from the Aerospace Corporation where the author was a senior engineering specialist. He is the principal co-author of two engineering texts (one of which was translated into Russian), as well as the author of a biography of an early California figure. He was employed as a senior scientist at Hughes Aircraft. His desire to understand how things work is not confined to inanimate devices but extends to the world at large. How the world is now is the result of clear identifiable events which demonstrate the current situation did not arrive by dropping from a clear blue sky.
