|  | | Friedrich Nietzsche-My Sister and I: Investigation Analysis Interpretation
Walter Stewart continues his work on My Sister and I by moving beyond the circular arguments concerning authorship and by taking on the complete text in order to determine first, precisely what actually is in it; second, to what degree it reflects Nietzsche’s thinking; and third, how it squares with the rest of his philosophy.
Walter Stewart continues his work on My Sister and I by moving beyond the circular arguments concerning authorship and by taking on the complete text in order to determine first, precisely what actually is in it; second, to what degree it reflects Nietzsche’s thinking; and third, how it squares with the rest of his philosophy. In order to achieve these aims, the text is investigated, analyzed and interpreted in full detail. The result is that Stewart elucidates how Nietzsche may have understood this curious work, why he might have chosen to explain himself in this way, and finally the degree t | |  | | German in Action

German in Action is a new German foreign language text that is designed to help English speakers understand and communicate in German easily and confidently. Professor Walter Stewart has produced a new method which he calls the “cognitive” method that allows English speakers to use their intuitive knowledge of their own language in order to cognitively connect to ways of saying things in German. The method employs integrated everyday vocabulary, reading selections, dialogues, and exercises in order to constantly reinforce a speaker’s confidence in reading, writing, and speaking.

| |  | | Nietzsche - My Sister and I: A Critical Study
Fifty-one years after the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche died, My Sister and I appeared on the American market as a book that was reputedly written by him when he was an inmate in the Jena insane asylum. Since the day it appeared, the book’s authenticity has been generally dismissed as a fraud.
Walter Stewart takes a fresh look at this book in what is the first detailed account of the myth, legend, and scholarly criticism that has shrouded this work in mystery for over half a century and for the first time unveils the real truth about My Sister and I.

Imagine that there was a genius who has been systematically ignored, overlooked, and even lied about for a century. Imagine further that this man is responsible for the technological underpinnings of the modern world. Imagine that he created such things as x-ray photography, robotics, microwave transmission, and still holds the original patent that all computer companies must rely on-only he patented the original in the 1890's. Imagine that he actually invented radio but has never been credited for it. Imagine at the same time that this fellow intimately knew the most powerful and influential people of his age: J.P. Morgan, the Vanderbilts, the Astors, Sarah Bernhardt, George Westinghouse, Thomas Edison, Mark Twain, Stanford White, and a host of others in the prestigious New York 400. Imagine that his inventions alone drastically changed the life of that city, and then the nation, and then the world. Imagine, too, that his story is actually a very personal one despite the power of his inventions. It is the story of an immigrant who stepped on our shores with just four cents in his pocket. It is the story of his rise in the culture and life of the nation when it was still young. It is the story of his tangled relationship with a woman of spirit who became the fulcrum of all he attempted to achieve. Finally, imagine that he may have created the most powerful invention of all time at Wardenclyffe, Long Island-a thing that scientists still try to comprehend but to no avail. Understand, lastly, that much of what he created and how he created it was a hundred years before its time and is still largely a mystery to the best scientists and thinkers in the world today. Imagine all of that and you have TESLA, the story of Nikola Tesla, the man who did all this and more-the unsung hero of an age that has forgotten its heroes.
EXCERPT
Wade McAllister, or Mac as he preferred to be called by intimates, had organized all of the really important balls in New York for as long as anyone could remember. As a Southerner from Savannah who spent a good deal of his youth living with a rich maiden aunt in New York, early on in life he became comfortable moving back and forth between the industrial North and the agrarian South. During the great conflict between the States, he spent most of his time cultivating New York society. And because of the tone he always used when commenting on the war, it came as no surprise t | |  | | Zarathustra
Love. Loyalty. Betrayal.
An unexpected romance that would affect generations yet unborn.
In the year 1882, Friedrich Nietzsche, the most brilliant philosopher of the 19th century, was on the brink of creating his masterwork of the human spirit when he fell in love with the most provocative woman of the age, the vivacious and young Lou von Salomé—and the course of human history was changed forever.
Zarathustra is biographical fiction about the life of the 19th century philosophical genius, Friedrich Nietzsche. The novel represents the pivotal point in Nietzsche's life when he fell in love with the provocative and emancipated young Lou von Salomé (who in later life would come to associate closely with people like Rilke and Freud). The facts of Nietzsche's connection with her are represented as accurately but also as entertainingly as possible. The novel fleshes out the character of Nietzsche, his relationship with his sister, with Richard and Cosima Wagner, and with others. Above all, thi |
