The fact that 'Genisis - the First Book of Revelations' is still selling steadily after 14 years says a lot about its relevance to today's culture. It is a challenging book which stimulates the reader's thoughts and seriously provokes a re-examination of one's belief systems. Its claims may seem far-fetched but each one is backed up with evidence which weighs heavily on an open mind. The geometry, however, is pinned down and refined in his second book 'Geneset - Target Earth', where the seemingly exotic geometrical claims of 'Genisis' are fully substantiated in depth. A fascinating read at all levels and a 'must' for anyone with an intelligent and open mind. The third book 'Poussin's Secret' is also a fascinating, in-depth study of Poussin's 'les bergers d'arcadie', which involves the same geometry as divulged in 'Genisis' and 'Geneset'. All three books are readily available through Genisis Books, Fleet Litho, Park Farm Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England.

To begin with it is extraordinary that amazon.com have mis-spelled and incorrectly listed the title which is: GENISIS The First Book of Revelations. Also the subject matter is hardly categorized as "Religion". The book contains a phenominally well researched investigation into the mysteries surrounding Rennes-le-Chateau, a subject touched upon by the authors of "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail", one of whom, Ian Campbell is also listed as the co-author of David Woods subsequent book "Geneset - Target Earth" which very neatly prefaces the Shoemaker Levi Comet's collision with Jupiter. All those who are fascinated by the scientific confirmation of the cause of the extinction of dinasours being the collision of a comet on earth will be well advised to try to acquire these tiltles.

Similar to Tons Brunes book The Secrets of Ancient Geometry-And Its Use (though far less staid, well researched, and analytical) and other books on the Rennes le Chateau mystery, David Wood's Genisis is a worthwhile, thought-provoking book on geomancy and the still-emerging science of sacred sites. Wood attempts to prove that certain Greek myths were, at least on one level, deliberately coded information regarding the origin of mankind. Wood supports his argument by the geometrical patterns created - presumably intentionally - by the placement in France of ancient sites devoted to religious cults. His claim that phallectomy was an intrinsic part of certain ancient religious initiation rites seems farfetched, but nonetheless the book is a highly stimulating and most unusual presentation of the ancient astronaut or ancient high science genre.

I LOVE THIS BOOK! However, you have to be aware of several other books and scriptures ie: the Bible, Book of Mormon, Z. Sitchkin's work to be able to put it all together! Do IT!!! It's great to know. KNOWLEDGE IS THE KEY TO EVERYTHING. Genisis has a ton in it.

Genesis is a lovely book to look at and read. The illustrations and photographs bring it to life as one enjoys the ideas put forth by author David Wood. He does have a smorgasbord of ideas and he serves them all up: Atlantis, ancient aliens, the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Covenant etc. While it would be considered too much clutter by many, the book actually does smoothly incorporate these ideas.

My one problem with the book is all the math to prove the images he states represent female fertility. Some of it seems like a stretch and is also quite dry, but the book stays with the subject at hand for the most part. The author also seems partial to the Goddess Isis, and he connects her to all his ideas, including the Ark of the Covenant.

For those who are interested in all of these alternative ideas, this book makes a nice gift. While others may not agree with its findings, the overall quality of the illustrations are enough to make this book a keeper. It makes a nice addition to a collector's library.
