CATALOG - REALITY SOFTWARE 8/4/94
Here is a listing of books on disk in the
history of religion series currently available from
Reality Software. The price differences between
books reflect both the work that went into the
research and their length. The least expensive
contain documents whose length is less than 25
pages. The more costly contain articles in
excess of 75 pages for the longest documents in the
package and, in some cases, extensive glossaries as well.
Such estimates vary with printer and print
setup, of course. These works are scholarly and written
for thinking adults. They represent an attempt at
original synthesis from the literature and some of
the writing is at journal level.
All Windows products come with REPLICA, an
application independent viewing system which
bypasses the need for a word processor. REPLICA is
easily installed into WIN 3.1 or WFW 3.11 and can
then be used to view and print the electronic
books. Full instructions are included. For those of
you who may be interested in our products and do not
have a high-end Windows system, notice that several
books are available with a superb document viewing
interface for DOS (BigText) that in the latest version
(1.3) incorporates graphics to produce illustrated
electronic books. We offer a money back guarantee: if
you do not find a book captivating and interesting,
return your disk(s) for a full-no questions-asked,
refund. Assume all disks are high density.
1) Explore the Origins of Mythology with
hunter-gatherers in the Upper Paleolithic and Indians in
the Amazon. Available in an illustrated Windows version
that utilizes Replica (v1.5) or as v1.3, which incorporates
a new state- of-the-art document viewing interface for DOS
(BigText) which is also illustrated. Have you ever wondered
how it all began? Major references include the work of Alexander
Marshak and shamanic practices among peoples of the Amazon.
2) The White Goddess in Neolithic Old Europe is an
in-depth study of the archeology, artifacts, iconography
and ritual of the Goddess religion of Neolithic Europe. The
material is based extensively on the breakthrough work of
Marija Gimbutas. Several hypotheses are presented about
iconography and metaphor which are drawn from realms as diverse
as evolutionary biology and the marine zoology of megafauna in
the dark abyss of the deep ocean.
3) Early Myth and The Goddess in Ancient China is a
discussion of the feminine in Shang and Chou Dynasty myth and the
central role played by the Myth of the Sacred Mulberry Tree (Fu
Sang). Major use is made of recent publications by Birrell and
Allen. Available 9/94.
4) Our book on disk about The White Goddess In Eire,
Britain, Wales and Gaul has just been revised. This new
version also incorporates a new state-of-the-art document
viewing interface for DOS (BigText) - v1.2. This is the
first and last word about the Goddess in Britain, Ireland
and Wales. If you ever wished to separate New Age nonsense
from the 'real' historical myths, this book is for you.
5) Our latest book on disk, a revision of The Great
Goddess in India and Tibet, is also available with the
latest version of the superb document viewing interface for
DOS (BigText) which is illustrated (v1.3). This study is
exceptionally deep about tantra; gnosticism; the sacred
horse ritual; the saga of the doomsday mare; the first
appearance, near demise and then resurgence of the Goddess
in India; and Tara - the White and Green Goddess of Tibet.
6) Our exceptional Historical TimeLine covers ancient
and early medieval history for the period 12,000 B.C. to
900 A.D. and emphasizes the history of religion. It is only
available for Windows 3.1 or WFW 3.11 as TimeLine V4.0.
There are literally hundreds of line items which include
information found in no other timeline and there is a vast
increase in the data from previous versions. A typical
printout would be three pages across and 19 pages deep.
