5.0 out of 5 stars
Anti-Gravity Classic: 5 Stars, January 1, 2000
David Childress compiled this now classis collection of works relating to the geometric structure of the planet, the "world grid". Ancient civilizations knew about this geometry and sited their monuments at its points, including the Great Pyramid, Easter Island, and the Chinese and Maya pyramids. The Bermuda triangle is one such point among many. Many unusual natural features also occur at points which correlate with the earth grid geometry. For example, the Hawaiian volcanic seamount occurs at a 'tetrahedral' point which will be of interest to readers of Hoagland's Mars materials and followers of Drunvalo's flower-of-life work. The book includes, among others, articles by Bethe Hagens & William Becker, who designed the EarthStar globe; Barbara Hero calculates and explains the musical equivalents of globe distances; Bruce Cathie's early method of detecting grid patterns through UFO sightings, and anomolies at other points, including nuclear testing. A.G.W.G. shows many maps of the geometric relationship of sacred places, including the world, Europe, Afica, and Cairo. Also shows the maps of sites in Somerset England in the pattern of the costellation Canus Major. I highly recommended it for students of Earth Mysteries, Sacred Geometry, and for alchemists.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Don't Waste Your Time, September 25, 2004
I was very excited about this purchase, but felt cheated when it finally arrived. I had hoped for a serious, systematic, scientific overview of the World Grid, and was sorely disappointed.
This book contained numerous grammar and punctuation errors, and shoddy images. It is difficult to take any book produced so unprofessionally seriously. If an individual does not attend to such details, how fastidious can they be about their scientific research? I try not to be completely superficial on this count, and have overlooked modest errors in small-press books that cannot afford top notch editing, but this level of incompetence is simply unacceptable.
I gave the book two stars instead of one because it does contain some useful information. For example, it includes a map of the grid as postulated by innovative Russian researchers, and correlates the locations of ancient monuments such as the Pyramids with node points. However, most, if not all, of this information can be unearthed with rudimentary web searches. The book does little more than make a flimsy circumstantial case for the existence of the Earth Grid, and most of the articles seem like drivel or filler.
I think the Earth Grid may exist. I was eventually able to find coherent descriptions that were not absurdly vague and are not the ramblings of lunatics. Not like most of Anti-Gravity and the World Grid, in other words. Books like this are the reason so many esoteric/alternative scientific theories have a bad rap.
One final note. I would exempt some of Bruce Cathie's work from these criticisms. The book contains articles written by different individuals, and Cathie is one of them. Cathie doesn't usually do a very good job of explaining things in laymen's terms, but I believe some of his claims/theories are correct.

3.0 out of 5 stars
At least some of this book is scientific fact, August 7, 2009
This was a pretty good book. There are Grids of energy on Earth. However, I do have a problem with one of the authors.
Dr. Richard LeFors Clark wrote, "Diamagnetic Gravity Vortexes", which is in this book. It is an interesting article, but the key points he makes, such as the broken figure eight in the Bloch Wall, each magnetic pole having the opposite vortex spin (North pole counterclockwise, South pole clockwise), and several diagrams he uses were all discovered by Albert Roy Davis, yet he doesn't even mention Davis. That information and the diagrams were published in the first book by Davis and Rawls, "Magnetism and Its Effects on the Living System", in 1974. Clark's work (actually Davis') is also mentioned numerous times in "The Divine Cosmos", by David Wilcock. Plus, Russian scientists are given credit for some of Albert Roy Davis' discoveries in Wilcock's book too. That wasn't the first time the Russians try to take credit for someone elses discovery.
There are some articles in this book that I'm not so sure about, but I know for a fact that some of the information is absolutely correct (that being the work of Albert Roy Davis).
