Impressed Frank.
Was the Principia in Latin, I been learning bits of Latin this year, mostly off gravestones at the Cathedral. Very interesting when you get Google to translate into English.

Hi Bux

Yes, Newton originally wrote the Principia in Latin and published it in three volumes in 1687. Books 1 & 2 are "The Motion of Bodies," and book 3 is "The System of the World."

Andrew Motte did the last complete English translation more than two centuries ago.

I own a rare 1726 third edition (in Latin) Published by Apud Guil. It's not in the best condition, but it was worth about $25,000 to $35,000 about two years ago at the last appraisal. It's securely stored by a rare book collector in New York.

If you want a less expensive English " study guide" to the Principia (almost 1,000 pages in paperback), here is a link (Amazon USA). I'm sure you can find the equivalent in England.

How about Spy Vs Spy, Omnibus edition?? Have you "read" that???
Most people think it's just a series of comic strips that appeared in Mad Magazine, but I have a master's degree in engineering, and I can tell you it's pure genius! Lol 😎

Nice one Alex. I know Ogilvy on advertising. I will look at Watkins

There's more cheese out there Alex. Find a new pile and keep it this time.
Bux

I agree, I will not stop looking this time.

Alex

Do it. NEVER give up.
See you in the maze.
Bux

I will be there.
Alex

Always good, JEff. I hope you are having a fantastic start to the week

Thanks, Catherine! It has been better, but it has also been worse! I'll take it!

Jeff

Truthfully my day might have been better, I may have bumped into into Brad Pitt on my way down my volcano today, but I didn't

Awesome, Catherine!

Jeff

Whatever, go easy and stay easy,

cheers,

Clo

Oh nice I will look at that I bought a course from Dan Miller a million years ago and it was very helpful

Thanks! Glad for you!!

I have bought the Alan Dib.It looks interesting. thank you again

Yes it is!

Bux I agree. I read Jonathon Livingston Seagull in the seventies as did everyone else over the age of 15. I havent revisited it since, and the only thing I remember about it was the quote
"Love never means having to say sorry."
Sadly 41 years of marriage taught me that that statement was not my reality.

I have heard of the second one but never read it, Going to investigate it now.

Could you explain quickly Why Jonathon LS is so important and what you learned from it . This will be helpful to everyone not just a quick reminder for me

Marriage … hmmm!
For me, JLS gives meaning to the words “determination “, “having a goal and purpose”.
I can remember buying this book way back in the 70s, still got it.
As the story unfolds, as you get wrapped up by it, you begin to have a sense of what drives Jonathan, and that that spirit is alive and burning in all of us. We just have to make sure that we don’t allow someone else to blow it out. Jonathan is in all of us.
A fifteen minute read that can alter how you think and act over goals and objectives.
Bux

Nice thank you for that. Since your last reply I have read Who Moved My Cheese by Dr Spencer Johnson it was on Scrib'd. It was fabulous i really loved it. Such a simple idea and fantastic characters. I can see why it was one of your favorites. Thank you for your replies
