1. Above Top Secret: Uncover the Mysteries of the Digital Age - by Jim Marrs 2008

Jim Marrs can justifiably be considered the world’s leading conspiracy author, with multimillion bestsellers like Alien Agenda, Rule by Secrecy, and the book that Oliver Stone used as a basis for his JFK movie, Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy. Now Marrs has allied with the web’s most popular conspiracy forum to investigate everything from chemtrails to the Nazis’ Antarctic base, moon landing hoaxes to UFOs, God as an alien to the end of the world in 2012.

AboveTopSecret.com is the Internet’s largest and most popular discussion board community, with more than twelve million page views per month. It is dedicated to the intelligent exchange of ideas and debate on a wide range of “alternative topics” such as conspiracies, UFOs, paranormal, secret societies, political scandals, new world order, terrorism, and dozens of related topics. AboveTopSecret’s popular podcast is downloaded tens of millions of times per month.

Marrs brings his rigorous journalist’s credentials to bear on these topics and more, asking (and often answering) the essential who, what, when, where, why, and how questions in compelling, page-turning fashion.

A native of Fort Worth, Texas, Jim Marrs has worked for several Texas newspapers, including the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. After a leave of absence to serve with Fourth Army intelligence during the Vietnam War, he became a military and aerospace writer for the newspaper and an investigative reporter. Since 1980, Marrs has been a freelance writer, author, and frequently invited public speaker.

2. How to Read Egyptian Hieropglyphs: A Step-By-Step Guide to Teach Yourself - By Mark Collier 1998

Hieroglyphs are pictures used as signs in writing. When standing before an ancient tablet in a museum or visiting an Egyptian monument, we marvel at this unique writing and puzzle over its meaning. Now, with the help of Egyptologists Mark Collier and Bill Manley, museum-goers, tourists, and armchair travelers alike can gain a basic knowledge of the language and culture of ancient Egypt.
Collier and Manley's novel approach is informed by years of experience teaching Egyptian hieroglyphs to non-specialists. Using attractive drawings of actual inscriptions displayed in the British Museum, they concentrate on the kind of hieroglyphs readers might encounter in other collections, especially funerary writings and tomb scenes. Each chapter introduces a new aspect of hieroglyphic script or Middle Egyptian grammar and encourages acquisition of reading skills with practical exercises.
The texts offer insights into the daily experiences of their ancient authors and touch on topics ranging from pharaonic administration to family life to the Egyptian way of death. With this book as a guide, one can enjoy a whole new experience in understanding Egyptian art and artifacts around the world.

You need no previous experience reading hieroglyphs to benefit from this book. This is a hieroglyphs guide for the layperson, tourist, or museum enthusiast who'd like to have more of a clue when it comes to understanding Egyptian hieroglyphs. Focusing on the funerary symbols one would be likely to see in Egypt or at a museum, and illustrated with hieroglyphs that are on display in the British Museum (drawn by Richard Parkinson, curator in the Department of Egyptian Antiquities at the British Museum), How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs makes possible a deeper appreciation not just of museum displays but of the Egyptian culture that used this writing system.

Both experts in Egyptology (Collier teaches Egyptology at the University of Liverpool, and Manley teaches the subject at the University of Glasgow), they explain how most hieroglyphs are used to convey the sound of the ancient Egyptian language, then go on to teach, in easily digestible segments, the basic phonograms (sound-signs) used in inscriptions a traveler or museum-goer would be most likely to encounter. Each chapter teaches a new portion of hieroglyphic script and a new aspect of the Middle Egyptian grammar, with a section to practice the new reading skills and exercises to solidify the lessons taught. It provides a wonderful opportunity to sit at home and learn about the pharaonic administration, ancient Egyptian family life, and the Egyptian way of death, while building a firm understanding of the most common features of hieroglyphs.

3. The Egyptians: An Introduction - By Robert Morkot 2005

Of all ancient societies, Egypt perhaps has the widest popular appeal. The huge amounts of archaeological material, from the vast and imposing temples to the small objects of daily life, make us believe that we can approach the society and empathize with it.

This study introduces the reader to the broad span of Egyptian history and cultural development from its origins to the arrival of Islam. It examines the structure of Egyptian society, its changes over time, and the ways in which the economy and religious institutions were used to bind society together. Challenging some of the accepted truths and highlighting the enormous gaps in our knowledge, Morkot explains how Egypt's place in the Western European tradition that led to the development of academic Egyptology and considers how the West has constructed its own version of the Egyptian past.

6. DK Eyewitness Guides: World War I - by Simon Adams 2001

Packed with photos on every double-page spread and dense with facts and snippets of analysis, this large-size volume in the Eyewitness series provides a quick, informative overview of WWI: how it started; who fought and why; the equipment used; what it was like in the trenches and at home; the horrific final cost. Even seasoned Web browsers accustomed to busy formats may sometimes feel bombarded by all the bits and pieces, especially when the tiny type is printed over colored pictures. It's the dramatic photos (many from London's Imperial War Museum) that will make readers pause and bring them close to the soldiers' experiences. Then there's John Singer Sargent's realistic painting Gassed, showing blinded soldiers led by their sighted colleagues toward a dressing station in northern France in 1918.

8. The Devil's Chemists: 24 CONSPIRATORS OF THE INTERNATIONAL FARBEN CARTEL WHO MANUFACTURE WARS - By Josiah E. DuBois,Jr.

To UNDERSTAND THE FULL SIGNIFICANCE of this story, bear in
mind that today the main characters — defendants in the most far-
reaching criminal trial in history — are all alive and free to work
against the way of life you and I cherish.
Today a great struggle is being waged for the political allegiance
of men. The United States of America has been steadily losing
in that struggle since the end of World War II. In seven years
the free world has lost to Communism half of Europe and large
areas of Asia. This amounts to the loss of over eight hundred
million people who once regarded themselves as our friends and
allies.
The foreign policy of the United States demonstrates that most
of our leaders understand little of what has happened in Europe
and Asia during the last generation. We have challenged disillu-
sioned hearts with only a hodgepodge of defensive tactics. It is
my belief that we lost the support of most of these people because
we appealed to them almost entirely through our own fears, with
little regard for their real hopes, dreams, and needs. To replace
Communist bread, often we have spread our own table reluctantly
and too late. Often we have countered the vicious Communist
evangelism only by negative argument. Most important, we have
poured salt on the ugly wounds which certain hated industrialists
have cut into four continents.
For ten years the average European and Asian has understood
my story better than our leaders yet understand it. I believe also
that the average American, should he read this book, will have a
better understanding than his government of how Europeans and
Asians feel about the facts. To those who sickened in the 1930's
at the news that American scrap iron was being sold to Japan; to
those who later observed with disgust the failure of the League of
Nations to put teeth into its economic "sanctions" against Italy
when she invaded Abyssinia; to those who recently cried shame
on the shipment of British war-potential goods through Hong
Kong to the Chinese Red Army; to those who are flatly opposed
to doing strategic business with any totalitarian institution, whether
by direct sales or outright political subsidy — to all those, this
book is recommended.
The full story of all the industrial groups that have deliberately
bred war, or have deliberately shut their eyes to the breeding of
war, could not be contained in ten books. I have limited my story
to the single group of men whose vast influence epitomizes all the
others — a group that is still many years ahead of all others in the
techniques of waging, in "peacetime," a future war.
Unbelievable as it seems, the defendants in that trial are back
in power in Germany today. Their Oriental collaborators are
back in power in Asia. We have been so afraid of Communism
that we have been willing to resort to almost any expedient in our
hysterical effort to stem the tide. Fearful reaction has lost us all
those who looked to democracy for an inspired and positive pro-
gram. The wisdom of helping such men form a vital bulwark of
defense against Communism will be seriously questioned, I am
sure, by almost every reader. To rely upon the generals-in-gray-
suits who shared the responsibility for World War II, to ally our-
selves with groups which have been allied with Russia more than
once before, suggests the probability that if World War III breaks
out, they will be fighting for Soviet Russia, not for the West. And
in treating such groups as friends, we are losing true friends all
over the world.
The crucial question to ask after reading this book is: What will
happen if these men and the forces they represent align themselves
with Communist aggression rather than with the freedom-loving
peoples of the world?

9. Merovingian Mortuary Archaeology and the Making of the Early Middle Ages - BY BONNIE EFFROS 2003

Only since the 1970s have American scholars regularly included mortuary remains in their research on
Merovingian religion and society.
[1] Patrick J. Geary, Living with the Dead in the Middle Ages(Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1994);
Bailey K. Young, “Paganisme, christianisation et rites funéraires mérovingiens,” AM 7 (1977): 5–81;
id., “Exemple aristocratique et mode funéraire dans la Gaule mérovingienne,” Annales ESC 41 (1986):
379–407.
Prior to that, most medievalists neglected archaeological evidence from burial sites in favor of more
familiar historical and documentary sources. From a European standpoint, this oversight was dismissed
as popular distaste in the United States for studies linked to death.
Of greater consequence, however, were the small number of American archaeologists occupied with
the early medieval period and the inaccessibility of locally published and unpublished excavations in
western Europe. Lack of attention to important studies of Merovingian mortuary rites was thus not
altogether surprising. Growing interest in the application of anthropological methodology to historical
discourse nonetheless stimulated new inquiries and provided both historians and archaeologists with a
framework by which to reconcile inherent contradictions between written and material evidence.

10. The 99th Monkey: A Spiritual Journalist's Misadventures with Gurus,Messiahs,Sex,Psychedelics - by Eliezer Sobel 2008

Suffused with a unique brand of irreverent humor, this account recalls the autobiographical explorations of the most significant alternative communities, ashrams, gurus, shamans, and consciousness-raising seminars of the past 40 years. Serving as a human guinea pig for many of the most popular cutting-edge New Age, human potential, and spiritual experiments, Eliezer Sobel recounts intercontinental adventures in India, Israel, Brazil, and Haiti. From Primal Therapy to the Dalai Lama, this perceptively witty analysis includes brushes with cults, wild experiments with sex and psychedelics, and encounters with visionary gurus and contemporary madmen.

11. The Engaged Spiritual Life: A Buddhist Approach to Transforming Ourselves and the World - by
Donald Rothberg 2006

Donald Rothberg has committed his life to two vocations: social change and exploring the depths of human consciousness to awaken our deeper spiritual nature. In his work as a dedicated teacher, activist, organizer, and writer, he has aimed to bring these two paths together and to reveal how deeply they require one another. The Engaged Spiritual Life skillfully weaves together basic spiritual teachings, real-life examples, and social context to provide a clear, thorough, and compelling guide to connecting inner and outer transformation. At the core of the book are ten spiritual principles, accompanied by meditations and exercises, that will enable you to weave all the parts of your life—personal, interpersonal, and political—into a seamless whole.

“Few have poured their lives into the contemporary movement that is dedicated to recovering Buddhism’s social outreach with as much dedication and effectiveness as Donald Rothberg.” —Huston Smith, author of The World’s Religions

“Donald Rothberg is a remarkably talented teacher whose writing, like his teaching style, is interesting, engaging, upbeat, and—most importantly—hopeful. This is the authoritative map describing the connection between wisdom and social action, and it does so clearly, simply, nonacademically, and entertainingly. The specific practices it offers inspire confidence that transforming ourselves and the world is a possibility—which is the best message in the world in times like these.” —Sylvia Boorstein, author of It’s Easier Than You Think: The Buddhist Way to Happiness

“At a moment when our world desperately needs an integration of spiritual wisdom and social action, Donald Rothberg points the way to a new synthesis—of great interest to people in all faith communities and to many who have previously distanced themselves from spiritual life in order to pursue social change.” —Rabbi Michael Lerner, author of The Left Hand of God: Taking Back our Country from the Religious Right

“I know of no one who better combines scholarship in this field with teaching experience and on-the-ground activism. Rothberg’s words ring with an unmistakable authenticity.” —Joanna Macy, author of Coming Back to Life: Practices to Reconnect Our Lives, Our World

“…this guide will be useful to progressive spiritual practitioners from all traditions.”—Shambhala Sun, review

Donald Rothberg is one of the major teachers and writers on socially engaged Buddhism in the United States. He is a meditation teacher on the Spirit Rock Teachers’ Council in northern California and has been an organizer, teacher, and board member for the Buddhist Peace Fellowship. Rothberg also directs the Socially Engaged Spirituality program at the Saybrook Graduate School in San Francisco. He has published essays in Tricycle, Turning Wheel, and The Journal of Humanistic Psychology among others. He lives in Berkeley, California.

14. A NEW WORLD ORDER - 2006

Does God really pay attention to what is happening on planet earth, or is He an absentee landlord who started
he planet spinning a long time ago and then forgot about us? An ancient king·s dream proves beyond the
hadow of a doubt that the unseen hand of God is still busy in world history!

15. THE FALL OF BABYLON - 2006

The Bible clearly predicts the fall of earthly systems—religious, political and nancial. All those who placed
their hopes in Babylon will have occasion to mourn her passing (see Revelation 18:1-19). Those who fear
economic collapse are right—but not in the way they might think!
The Bible, however, does not condemn wealth. In fact, many of Jesus· stories involved money, and God
has laid out a plan for using it wisely while we wait for the Second Coming. Many people have a completely
distorted view of our Creator. They seem to think that He is a poor beggar, holding out His hand for an offering
from His people. God is not poor. He owns everything in this world.

anything to another man, or to his property, which they had no right to do as individuals, they
thereby declare themselves trespassers, robbers, or murderers, according to the nature of their

22. EliteConspiracy-Top-UNSecret-425pages-ShareWorldwide

Two great new books. It's about how the global ultra-elite class are trying to turn everyone else into a sub-species of slaves through poisoning, historical lies, a fraud "news" media, mind-control, and wars. It's about how World Wars are created. It's about a reality that all too few of us are aware of. It's tells the many century-old story of a class of inbred psychopaths ruling the world.
