Announcing the publication of a nearly fictional novel of historic proportions!

Nadjik Cover_5

Full size cover image

War correspondent Michael Wolfson’s passion to end torture, genocide and crimes against humanity
leads to a scientific revolution in truth technology that must survive attempted destruction
 by powerful secret, government, corporate and underworld organizations.

            Human behavior based on verifiable truth sounds good, but not to the array of powerful and
desperate adversaries any such truth science would face—for whom it would spell the end
of secrecy, illicit power and influence, the fruits of corruption, violence,
and crimes against humanity. Starting in Washington, DC.

For more on the bio-chemical truth technology based on current "CSI" GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Sprectrometry)
as seen in crime labs on CSI New York, CSI Miami, and CSI Las Vegas, Law and Order,
and other technically accurate crime scene technology televison and films, click here for the
Epilog of The Nadjik Pheromone, by pioneer CSI forensic toxicologist, Dr. Brian Andresen.

The Historic
CARMEL VALLEY GUIDE
2004-2005

Historic Carmel Valley Guide

Created, designed and published by
The History Company to support the
Carmel Valley business community


 

The Historic GIIDE TO CARMEL VALLEY
(No longer in publication)


 
     The History Company
researched, created,  designed and published the first annual "Historic Carmel Valley Guide" for the Carmel Valley Chamber of Commerce. It follows the same format size and construction as the five annual volumes of the "Cannery Row Visitors Guide" created and published for the Cannery Row Company (1996-2001).
     Concieved as a residents and visitors guide to all of Carmel Valley, history acts as the umbrella theme under which all of the other assets of living in or visiting Carmel Valley are presented and unified.

     Carmel Valley history, from the first Spanish expolorers to walk the beaches at Carmel Bay and their return to establish the Alta California Mission system, to the ranches, wineries and landmarks like "Rosie's Cracker Barrel" general store, are presented with stunningly detailed contour maps of Carmel Valley's four regions—from its mountians to the sea.

SAVORED ONE OF THE LAST "REAL" PLACES LEFT OF OLD CANNERY ROW.
