Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Several people requested ISBN numbers for these titles. Even though they are old titles, I was surprised to find 2 of them available on Amazon.com. It there anyone on this conference who is from Europe and has visited the GATE research center in Germany? Is it an actual research center -- or just a publishing house? This topic of animal powered systems will become increasingly important as time passes and petroleum powered engines become too expensive to maintain and operate. If we develop this as a aspect of cow protection, we have the opportunity to use it to attract people to Krsna consciousness. your servant, Hare Krsna dasi **************************** Noma Petroff wrote: >I have just received 3 books via Interlibrary Loan.
