Books with title The Little Giant Encyclopedia of Travel

The secret to our destiny lies in the numbers. With the more than 500 fascinating pages on the theory and practice of numerology packed into this little powerhouse, anyone can become an expert on the subject. Like astrology, numerology is based on birth date, but it uses names, too. Each letter of the alphabet has a matching number (from 1 to 9), and that's where the illumination begins. Seekers will enjoy a new understanding of their numerological fortunes, including the Soul Urge, which motivates our actions; the Quiet Self, which reveals our inner desires; and The Expression, which explains how to accomplish our goals. Like every Little Giant, this entry presents an extraordinary amount of information in a convenient format, with dozens of charts, tables and graphs.
