	World of Tiers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The World of Tiers novels are a series of connected science fiction/fantasy novels by Philip José Farmer.
		The top surfaces (levels or tiers) of each cylindrical monolith are densely inhabited, while the vertical sides of the monoliths (30-100,000 feet high, called Thayaphaeawoed, Abharhploonta, Doozvillnavava, and Idaquizzoorhruz) act as enormous cliffs which partially isolate the inhabitants of each tier from each other.
		This crescent proved to be one half of a gate to the World of Tiers, the other half belonging to a displaced Thoan who attempted to buy (and later, steal) the crescent from Finnegan.

	Currency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was with Archimedes' principle that the next link in currency occurred: coins could now be easily tested for their fine weight of metal, and thus the value of a coin could be determined, even if it had been shaved, debased or otherwise tampered with (see Numismatics).
		To find out which currency is used in a particular country, start at the countries of the world or look at the table of historical exchange rates.
		From the earliest times token coins were issued by companies in remote parts of the world to overcome the shortage of circulating currency.

		The World of Tiers: Volume One (World of Tiers) by Philip Jose Farmer
		Tiers (like Earth) is in a continuum of often very different "pocket" universes, created by the super-powerful Lords.
		The World of Tiers novels were always mainly action and adventure--nothing deep--but here Farmer fails to deliver even that: the action is flat, the plot hopelessly contrived, the characters less engaging than in previous outings and the new worlds less vivid.

	Use of Fiction in Therapy
		The ever-mutable fantasies and fixtures of the patient's inner world were inexorably translocated to the World of Tiers.
		Instead, the patient transferred from their inner world to the World of Tiers, which was equally patient- and therapist-accessible and where symbols and fantasies were immutable.
		Other worlds could equally serve as performance stages for this inward psychodrama of the mind, as they are also populated with characters drawn in archetypal primary colors that accented the finer shades of the patient's motivation and conflict.

	Everett Presentation
		Safeguarded in their colossal palaces, which are bastions of technological marvel and security, they are spending millenia in indulgences, cruelty, and in attempts to inflitrate and overtake their brethren’s palaces and worlds.
		It is a world of fl comets that rain down searing quicksilver and of grotesque birds that wage wars on indigenous humans from floating nest-complexes drifting on the winds.
		Equipped with persistence and passion, it would later be within the reach of the young people to conceive and flesh out their own worlds—with unique, consistent fauna and technology—and invite any number of teams to immerse in their world.

	Think-Israel
		Sometimes the use of the characterization of the Arabs as part of the Third World verges on traditional Judeophobic themes.
		It referred to countries colonized or exploited by European imperial powers, their peoples kept in humiliating inferiority, poverty, and economic underdevelopment, and -- it was implied -- innocent of any previous offense against the Europeans.
		Suffice it to say that the Third World myth ill befits the Arabs, nor does the pose of wounded innocence befit them, including the Palestinian Arabs whose leadership rallied to the Nazi camp, thereby endorsing the most racist theory to be espoused by a modern state.

	SF REVIEWS.NET: The Maker of Universes / Philip José Farmer
		While not exactly classics themselves, Philip José Farmer's World of Tiers series is a collection of highly energetic and enjoyable adventures in a classic mold, drawing inspiration from everything from Edgar Rice Burroughs to centuries' worth of religious allegories.
		The premise of the man from Earth transported to some idyllic other world is one of SF and fantasy's most venerable, from Burroughs all the way to his imitators (Norman's Gor, Bulmer's Dray Prescot), from C. Lewis's Narnia and Baum's Oz to Donaldson's Thomas Covenant.
		It is literally a World of Tiers, one level stacked above another, and so on and so forth, until you get to the top, the level that houses the "Lord" who rules over the entire shebang (but who may or may not be its creator).

		With the raw grinding intensity of "World of Hell" and the pulsating hypnotic drones of "Friendly Fire" to the militaristic and majestic stylings of "Child in Winter", LD established themselves as masters of "aural shapeshifting" with renewed strength and sophistication.

		He conjures a phantasmagoria of fantastic worlds, described with an unparalleled vividness.
		Many millennia ago, the Lords were a humanoid race on an incredibly advanced level of science and technology, allowing them to achieve virtual immortality and to create artifical "pocket universes" full of strange worlds populated by even stranger beings, created as subjects and slaves to the Lords.
		Plot and characterization are second to the presentation of many marvelous worlds, some of them breathtakingly absurd and all of them very dangerous.

		One is an idyllic world inhabited by creatures of greek myth, another is populated by medieval knights.
		The whole world is ruled by an overlord who resides at the top of the planet and the story revolves around our hero, eventually joined by a sidekick named Kickaha who also hails from Earth, attempting to get to the top of the world so he can get home.
		The concept upon which the book is based (multiple parallel worlds that are worlds stacked on top of each other) isn't that great to begin with, and the author does absolutely nothing to make it seem interesting.

		The expression “Third World” (Tiers Monde) was coined by the French demographer Alfred Sauvy in 1952 to refer to the young nations of Asia and Africa that were moving toward independence from the European colonial powers in the aftermath of the Second World War.
		These were the newly independent countries that were struggling to feed, house, clothe, and educate their people while exporting primary products and battling with poverty, climate, and war as well as the lingering effects of colonialism.
		Behind the dichotomy of the rich first world versus the poor third world, it was possible to detect feelings of national and ethnic superiority.

	SF REVIEWS.NET: A Private Cosmos / Philip José Farmer
		Set on the World of Tiers concurrently with the events in Gates — in which Wolff, Lord of the World of Tiers, was trapped in a bizarre multi-dimensional obstacle course set up, so he believed, by his murderous father — A Private Cosmos finds Kickaha fending off an invasion by the Bellers.
		The book is thus one massive chase scene, with Kickaha staying only a hair's breadth away from capture as he transports himself from level to level, even to the World of Tiers' artificial moon, while he tries to destroy the Bellers one by one.
		Having dealt handily with the allegorical aspects of the World of Tiers in the first two volumes (and to be honest, most of that was just in book one), Farmer keeps A Private Cosmos squarely within the bounds of swash and buckle.

		With a rotating supporting cast dubbed The Wharton Tiers Ensemble, Tiers has put it all together on his two 90s releases, 1996's Brighter Than Life and 1999's Twilight of the Computer Age, each of which are loving and sophisticated odes to the almighty power of the electric guitar.

		In Red Orc's Rage, (Tor, $5.99) Farmer has finally succeeded in "regurgitating himself." The novel is based on a form of therapy from the real world that is, in turn, spun off from Farmer's World of Tiers series.
		To explain: the World of Tiers books follow the adventures of an earth man Paul J. Finnegan (dig those initials) in "pocket universes" that are set to right angles to our own.
		There's more to Farmer than the World of Tiers and the secret sex lives of heroes.

		The World of Tiers books and, beginning in 1971, the Riverworld novels have been very successful commercially and are often regarded as the cornerstones of Farmer's career, even if most of his fans agree that much of Farmer's best writing is to be found outside of either series.
