Racing Alone by Nader Khalili "Is it really sane to follow one's ideals and dreams and race alone in today's world? 
 Is it really reasonable to insist on holding to one's visions against all odds, and after many trying years?" 
 The newly published year 2,000 edition of this acclaimed classic chronicles how to sustain a quarter century of quest and inspiration through the arts, architecture, and personal transformation. Published by Cal-Earth Press in beautiful leather-tooled hardback with photographs from the author's original journey.

With the moon as a metaphor, Khalili takes us from the poetic moon of the ghettos of his childhood to the scientific moon of his presentations to NASA for lunar base construction using on-site earth and ceramics. He chronicles his own transformation renouncing his successful architecture practice and voyaging into the desert, ultimately firing and glazing the first Ceramic Houses. Inspired by the mystic poetry of Rumi, and the unity of the universal elements of earth, water, air, and fire, with his technical background he presents his proposals for earth and ceramics lunar bases to NASA.

POETRY: At last, after six years, another inspirational book of translations of Rumi's poems by Nader Khalili. 300 short poems (Rubaiyat) translated from the original Persian and illustrated with Persian calligraphy created for this book, and photographs of the Rumi Dome of lights designed by the author and built in Hesperia, California. 
A sample poem: unknown existence, undiscovered beauty, that's how you are, so far, but, one dawn, just like a sun, right from within, you will arise.
