The Equinox, in print from 1909-1919, was a magical journal published by Aleister Crowley and included Crowley's own A...A... laws, rituals and rites, reviews, and magical works by other important practitioners. Published as ten volumes, much of the material remains out of print today. Now, for the first time since Israel Regardie's selections Gems from the Equinox (1974) renowned scholar and U.S. Deputy Grandmaster General of the O.T.O. Lon Milo DuQuette presents readers with his own selections from this classic publication, The Best of the Equinox. Volume III of the series presents perhaps the most titillating of esoteric subjects, Sex Magick. Once he grasped the fundamentals of sexual magick, Aleister Crowley understood it to be the key that unlocks the secrets of the universe. He dedicated the entire second half of his life to exploring its mysteries. This volume presents the bulk of Crowley's written works on the subject and includes The Gnostic Mass, Energized Enthusiasm, Liber A'ash, Liber Chath, and Liber Stellae Rubeae.

Is flying safe? Indeed it is -- statistics tell us that it is far more dangerous to drive a car or take the train. But flight safety does not just happen. Instead, as it is argued in this book, it is created by a well-developed air traffic control system that continues to be highly effective -- despite increasing volumes of traffic. How is this high level of safety achieved and sustained? Air traffic controllers are responsible for guiding the aircraft and organizing a safe and efficient traffic flow. Their work is highly structured, providing rules and resources helping them to organize traffic. To achieve the necessary cooperation with flight crews and other controllers necessary for a safe flow, controllers use a number of strategies. Among other things, controllers must visualize traffic and develop redundant procedures to prevent -- or deal with -- potential problems. In this work, controllers must rely on both cognitive abilities and social integrative skills. The study is based on extensive observations, videotapes and interviews of air traffic controllers and flight crews. It focuses on daily teamwork in air traffic control as well as organizational features such as rules and resources that structure the work. The double focus on both organizational structure and the dynamics of interaction among controllers makes the book pioneering in its field.
