25. Obama - The Postmodern Coup: Making of a Manchurian Candidate by Webster Griffin Tarpley 2008

1. The Lost Land of Lemuria: Fabulous Geographies, Catastrophic Histories - by Sumathi Ramaswamy 2004

During the nineteenth century, Lemuria was imagined as a land that once bridged India and Africa but disappeared into the ocean millennia ago, much like Atlantis. A sustained meditation on a lost place from a lost time, this elegantly written book is the first to explore Lemuria's incarnations across cultures, from Victorian-era science to Euro-American occultism to colonial and postcolonial India. The Lost Land of Lemuria widens into a provocative exploration of the poetics and politics of loss to consider how this sentiment manifests itself in a fascination with vanished homelands, hidden civilizations, and forgotten peoples. More than a consideration of nostalgia, it shows how ideas once entertained but later discarded in the metropole can travel to the periphery--and can be appropriated by those seeking to construct a meaningful world within the disenchantment of modernity. Sumathi Ramaswamy ultimately reveals how loss itself has become a condition of modernity, compelling us to rethink the politics of imagination and creativity in our day.

2. One World Order: Socialist Dictatorship - by John Coleman 1998

In John Coleman`s book The Committee of 300, his publisher has book advertisements for some occultic topics; the worst being Nostradamus. Nostradamus constantly used astrology,as verified in his book preface in "The Centuries". If a reader wants to know more about whats going on,by a Christian source,might I recomend Dennis L. Cuddy`s book" Secret Records Revealed ",or Joan Veon books.Both very strong Christian authors.

More than anything---Americans suffer from a lack of knowledge about what's going on in our world. If you think you are aware by watching from a US news media standpoint, you'd better think again! There is no hope of catching up without some very basic books. These include all of Dr. John Coleman's series: One World Order, Committee of 300, Diplomacy by Deception and What you need to know about the Constitution. He lays the best foundation to begin your quest for information. Most of the popular writers and seekers of truth have taken no small share of developments originally presented by Coleman. But here is the original deal. You don't need to accept substitutes.

I recommend that everyone read this book and all the others because there has never been a need for facts, as great as the need we face today and we are very quickly running out of time to do anything about these events. Therefore, it's very important to know where to look for answers. John Coleman was an insider (British MI6) who was shocked by events he uncovered as an intelligence officer. He has dedicated his life to exposing his knowledge of events most Americans are simply unaware happened. His research is impeccable. I sincerely doubt that the last reviewer even read this book. Those who don't want the truth to be known would really hate this book. Unfortunately, there are quite a few folks out there that would like to remain blissfully ignorant. To each his own...This is a book that belongs in your special library of valuable non-fiction. Again, it lays a basic foundation and unique perspective on world events. The knowledge you will gain is one that explains the necessary details, you need to know because they have a direct impact on current events. This book will give you a much better perspective.

3. A Culture of Conspiracy: Apocalyptic Visions in Contemporary America - by Michael Barkun 2003 /$32.00

What do UFO believers, Christian millennialists, and right-wing conspiracy theorists have in common? According to Michael Barkun in this fascinating yet disturbing book, quite a lot. It is well known that some Americans are obsessed with conspiracies. The Kennedy assassination, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the 2001 terrorist attacks have all generated elaborate stories of hidden plots. What is far less known is the extent to which conspiracist worldviews have recently become linked in strange and unpredictable ways with other "fringe" notions such as a belief in UFOs, Nostradamus, and the Illuminati. Unraveling the extraordinary genealogies and permutations of these increasingly widespread ideas, Barkun shows how this web of urban legends has spread among subcultures on the Internet and through mass media, how a new style of conspiracy thinking has recently arisen, and how this phenomenon relates to larger changes in American culture. This book, written by a leading expert on the subject, is the most comprehensive and authoritative examination of contemporary American conspiracism to date.
Barkun discusses a range of material--involving inner-earth caves, government black helicopters, alien abductions, secret New World Order cabals, and much more--that few realize exists in our culture. Looking closely at the manifestions of these ideas in a wide range of literature and source material from religious and political literature, to New Age and UFO publications, to popular culture phenomena such as The X-Files, and to websites, radio programs, and more, Barkun finds that America is in the throes of an unrivaled period of millennarian activity. His book underscores the importance of understanding why this phenomenon is now spreading into more mainstream segments of American culture.

4. The Indian Ocean (Seas in History) - by Michael Pearson 2003 /$110.00

The Indian Ocean, used and travelled by humans for over 5000 years, is by far the 'oldest' sea in history. In this stimulating and authoritative overview, Michael Pearson reverses the traditional angle of maritime history and looks from the sea to its shores - its impact on the land through trade, naval power, travel and scientific exploration. This vast ocean, both connecting and separating nations, has shaped many countries' cultures and ideologies through the movement of goods, people, ideas and religions across the sea. The Indian Ocean moves from a discussion of physical elements, its shape, winds, currents and boundaries, to a history from pre-Islamic times to the modern period of European dominance. Going far beyond pure maritime history, this compelling survey is an invaluable addition to political, cultural and economic world history.

5. Arts And Humanities Through The Eras, 5 Volumes Set - by Edward Bleiberg 2005 /$369.55

1. Arts and Humanities Through the Eras — Ancient Egypt (2675 B.C.E.-332 B.C.E.). Volume 1
2. Arts and Humanities Through the Eras — Ancient Greece and Rome (1200 B.C.E.-476 C.E.). Volume 2
3. Arts and Humanities Through the Eras — Medieval Europe (814-1450). Volume 3
4. Arts and Humanities Through the Eras — Renaissance Europe (1300-1600). Volume 4
5. Arts and Humanities Through the Eras — The Age of the Baroque and Enlightenment (1600-1800). Volume 5

Profiling milestones and movements in the arts, literature, music and religion from a specific period, each volume in this set helps students and researchers understand the various disciplines of the humanities in relation to each other, as well as to history and culture. An overview of the period and a chronology of major world events begin each volume. Nine chapters follow covering the major branches of the humanities: architecture and design, dance, fashion, literature, music, philosophy, religion, theater and visual arts. Chapters begin with a chronology of major events within the discipline followed by articles covering the movements, schools of thought and masterworks that characterize the discipline during the era and biographical profiles of pioneers, masters and other prominent figures in the field. Chapters also include significant primary documents from the period, including quotations, excerpts from artists about their work and/or commentaries/criticism published during the period, and a list of general references for further information.

Over the last two decades the historical focus has shifted from viewing events in a simple historical context to a more integrative perspective. This set offers a multidimensional picture of primarily Western civilization, covering Ancient Egypt (2675-332 B.C.E.), Ancient Greece and Rome (1200 B.C.E.-476 C.E.), Medieval Europe (814-1450 C.E.), Renaissance Europe (1300-1600 C.E.), and The Age of the Baroque and Enlightenment (1600-1800 C.E.). Similar in organization to Gale's American Eras and World Eras lines, the work exposes readers to each historical period through the study of nine different arts and humanities topics: "Architecture and Design," "Dance," "Fashion," "Literature," "Music," "Philosophy," "Religion," "Theater," and "Visual Arts." Each topic area is treated in a different chapter, but the connections between topics are highlighted both in the text and through cross-referencing. The result is a broader and more inclusive picture of the culture of each period, emphasizing connections between, for example, religion, dance, and literature or between the visual arts and architecture. Each chapter is structured in the same way, containing a chronology; an overview of the development of the field under scrutiny; a "Topics" section, which discusses various movements, schools of thought, and masterworks that characterize the discipline during that era; a handful of biographies of significant people; and a list of documentary sources. Each of the subsections within "Topics" includes a list of sources. The writing, produced by subject experts, is uniformly clear and informative but quite pedantic. It is certainly not leisure--interest reading but does impart information in an admirably direct style. Sidebars offer primary source material (letters, poems, essays, songs, epitaphs, etc.). Numerous black-and-white photographs, maps, and reproductions extend the text well. Technical terms and definitions appear both in the text and in the glossary, and lists of works for further reference, as well as media and online sources, are listed at the back of each volume. Although there is not a cumulative index, each volume does have its own accurate index. Aimed at college and university students with or without historical background, this set provides a solid picture of western European history through the arts.

6. An Account of Some of Britain's Subterranean Defence, Factory and Storage Sites in the Second World War - by Nick McCamley 1998

McCamley's intriguing study of the world's largest underground arsenal cuts through decades of rumour and speculation to reveal the elaborate means used to camouflage the site during World War II, several near-disasters, and a plan to touch off the hidden reserves of ammunition in 1940 to prevent them from falling into German hands.

7. Archaeology, Economy and Society, England From the Fifth to the Fifteenth Century - by David Hinton 2005 /$49.95

Many books have been written on particular aspects of medieval archaeology, or on particular parts of the period, but synthesis across the whole spectrum has not been attempted before. The aim of this book is to examine the contribution that archaeology can make to an understanding of the social, economic, religious and other developments that took place in England from the migrations of the fifth and sixth centuries to the beginning of the Renaissance, showing how society and economy evolved in that time-span.
Drawing on the latest available material, the book takes a chronological approach to the archaeological material of the post-Roman period in order to emphasize the changes that can be observed in the physical evidence and some of the reasons for them that can be suggested. The environment in which people functioned and how they expressed themselves - for example in their houses and burial practices, their pottery and their clothes - show how they were constrained by social customs and economic pressures.

About the Author
David Hinton is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Archaeology at the University of Southampton. He is editor of Medieval Archaeology and Secretary of the Trust for Wessex Archaeology. An expert on Anglo-Saxon and medieval jewelry he has written a number of papers on the subject.

8. Ancient History: Evidence and Models - by M. I. Finley 1986

In this study of Greek and Roman history, the author addresses the limitations imposed by the available evidence, stressing the fact that there is much that the modern scholar cannot learn by consulting the ancient sources. With emphasis on the fundamental importance of asking the right questions, he challenges the special status accorded to classical texts and exposes the flaws in the traditional approach to ancient history. He even goes on to suggest alternative methods for re-constructing history.

9. The Origins of the Cold War: An International History (Rewriting Histories) - by Melvyn Leffler 2005 /$37.83

The Cold War dominated the world political arena for forty-five years. Focusing on the international system and on events in all parts of the globe, Melvyn P. Leffler and David S. Painter have brought together a truly international collection of articles that provide a fresh and comprehensive analysis of the origins of the Cold War.
Moving beyond earlier controversies, this edited collection focuses on the interaction between geopolitics and threat perception, technology and strategy, ideology and social reconstruction, national economic reform and patterns of international trade, and decolonization and national liberation. The editors also consider how and why the Cold War spread from Europe to Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America and how groups, classes and elites used the Cold War to further their own interests.
This second edition brings the collection right up to date, including the newest research from the Communist side of the Cold War and the most recent debates on culture, race and intelligence. Also included is a completely new section dealing with the Cold War crises in Iran, Turkey and Greece and a guide to further reading.

10. United States in World History (Themes in World History) - by Edward Davies 2006 /$115.00

In this short, accessible introductory survey of the history of the United States from 1790 to the present day, Edward J. Davies examines key themes in the evolution of America from colonial rule to international supremacy. Focusing particularly on those currents within U.S. history that have influenced the rest of the world, Davies examines key themes including industralisation, the rise of international corporations, civil rights and popular culture. Offering a new way of examining the United States, this book reveals how concepts that originated in American's definition of itself as a nation - concepts such as capitalism, republicanism and race - have had supranational impact across the world.

11. The Goddess and the Warrior: The Naked Goddess and Mistress of the Animals in Early Greek Religion - by Nanno Marinatos 2000 /$84.00

n this provocative and arresting book, Nanno Marinatos explores the role of the naked goddess and mistress of animals in Greek religion. She examines their eastern origins and discusses their dissemination throughout the mainland and Crete. She also analyses their function as magical devices which ward off evil and questions why a female god was the protectress of men rather than women.

12. F-22 Raptor: America's Next Lethal War Machine - by Steve Pace 2002 /$38.00

The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor, about to be launched as America's premier Air Dominance Fighter, will replace the vaunted F-15C Eagle as the world's foremost fighter aircraft.
Once operational, it will be the swiftest, stealthiest, and deadliest plane in the skies, ready to out fly and out fight any opponent. Its Supercruise feature allows it to exceed the speed of sound without afterburners-an aviation first. Its radar profile is nearly as small as that of the stealth-dedicated F-117A Nighthawk. And its First-Look, First-Kill capability makes it virtually impervious to enemy counter-strike.
Profusely illustrated, this eye-opening volume documents every stage of our military's quest for the next Air dominance Fighter, while illuminating every aspect of the fierce warbird that ended that search... the F-22 Raptor. From drawing board to wind tunnel, test flight to tactical deployment, here is the most extensive survey available today of the fighter that will escort our armed forces into the 21st Century.

13. Alien Chic: Posthumanism and the Other Within - by Neil Badmington 2004 /$39.95

Alien Chic sets out to provide a cultural history of the alien since the 1950s, asking why our attitudes to aliens have changed from fear to affection, and what this can tell us about how we now see ourselves and others.

The author begins by exploring our relationship with the concept of aliens, primarily through films, including Invaders from Mars, Mars Attacks and Mission to Mars. He then progresses to ideas of humanism and what makes us human, taking in the works of thinkers such as Descartes, Barthes, Freud, and Derrida.

The book then considers the concept of posthumanism in an age in which the lines between what is human and what is non-human are increasingly blurred by advances in science and technology, for example cloning and genetic engineering, and the development of AI and cyborgs. This leads to the question of whether our embracing of all things 'alien' stems from a need to reaffirm ourselves as "human."

Written in a clear and engaging style, Alien Chic is an original and thought-provoking contribution to the study of posthumanism.

14. The Business of Genocide: The SS, Slave Labor, and the Concentration Camps - by Michael Thad Allen 2002 /$55.00

Allen examines the SS executives and engineers who built up the vast slave-labor system in Nazi concentration camps. While the bureaucrats who oversaw Holocaust operations are often portrayed as simply "cogs in the machinery," he reveals their ideological dedication to National Socialism.

15. The Banality of Denial: Israel and the Armenian Genocide - by Yair Auron 2003 /$29.95

The Banality of Denial examines the current attitudes of the State of Israel and its leading institutions toward the Armenian Genocide. Israel's view of the Armenians and their tragedy has special significance and deserves an attentive study, as Israel is a country composed of a people who were victims of the Holocaust. The Banality of Denial seeks to examine the passive, indifferent Israeli attitude towards the Armenian Genocide, and explores active Israeli measures to undermine attempts at safeguarding the memory of the Armenian victims of the Turkish persecution. This volume is the second part of a project that examines Jewish-Israeli attitudes toward the Armenian Genocide. The first part, The Banality of Indifference: Zionism and the Armenian Genocide, was published by Transaction in 2000. Both books offer the reader an opportunity to explore a particular case of a general phenomenon that goes beyond the Armenian Genocide and the Jewish attitude: the reaction of the bystander who remains on the sidelines while known atrocities take place. The Banality of Denial also explores Israeli attitudes - past and present - toward the phenomenon of genocide in general, including an analysis of concrete case studies, such as the tragedies in Tibet, and Rwanda. In The Banality of Denial - as in Auron's previous work - moral, philosophical, and theoretical questions are of paramount importance. Such an inquiry into attempts at denial by Israeli institutions and leading figures of Israel's political, security, academic, and Holocaust "memory-preservation" elite has not merely an academic significance. It has considerable political relevance, both symbolic and tangible. Because no previous studies have dealt with these or similar issues, an original methodology is employed to analyze the subject with regard to four spheres of attitudes towards the Armenian Genocide: the political, the educational, the media, and the academic. In many regards, this book is as much about Israeli society and Jewish values as it is about the Armenian Genocide per se.

16. Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of History - by Stephen Jay Gould 1990

"Gould has brought to light one of the least known but most spectacular paleontological discoveries of all time….a brilliant tapestry."

The Burgess Shale is a small limestone quarry formed 530 million years ago. In it are the remains of an ancient sea that nurtured more varieties of life than can be found in all of our modern oceans. Stephen Jay Gould explores what the Burgess Shale reveals about evolution and the nature of history. 116 illustrations.

The Burgess Shale of British Columbia "is the most precious and important of all fossil localities," writes Stephen Jay Gould. These 600-million-year-old rocks preserve the soft parts of a collection of animals unlike any other.

Gould describes how the Burgess Shale fauna was discovered, reassembled, and analyzed in detail so clear that the reader actually gets some feeling for what paleobiologists do, in the field and in the lab. The many line drawings are unusually beautiful, and now can be compared to a wonderful collection of photographs in Fossils of the Burgess Shale by Derek Briggs, one of Gould's students.

Burgess Shale animals have been called a "paleontological Rorschach test," and not every geologist by any means agrees with Gould's thesis that they represent a "road not taken" in the history of life. Simon Conway Morris, one of the subjects of Wonderful Life, has expressed his disagreement in Crucible of Creation. Wonderful Life was published in 1989, and there has been an explosion of scientific interest in the pre-Cambrian and Cambrian periods, with radical new ideas fighting for dominance. But even though many scientists disagree with Gould about the radical oddity of the Burgess Shale animals, his argument that the history of life is profoundly contingent as in the movie It's a Wonderful Life, from which this book takes its title has become more accepted, in theories such as Ward and Brownlee's Rare Earth hypothesis. And Gould's loving, detailed exposition of the labor it took to understand the Burgess Shale remains one of the best explanations of scientific work around.

17. The Atlantean Conspiracy - by Eric Dubay

Did you know all 43 U.S. presidents have carried European royal bloodlines into
office? 34 have been genetic descendants from just one person, Charlemagne, the
brutal eighth century King of the Franks. 19 of them directly descended from King
Edward III of England. In fact, the presidential candidate with the most royal genes
has won every single American election.
“This information comes
from Burke's Peerage,
which is the Bible of
aristocratic genealogy,
based in London. Every
presidential election in
America, since and
including George
Washington in 1789 to Bill
Clinton, has been won by
the candidate with the most
British and French royal
genes. Of the 42 presidents
to Clinton, 33 have been
related to two people: Alfred the Great, King of England, and Charlemagne, the most
famous monarch of France. So it goes on: 19 of them are related to England's
Edward III, who has 2000 blood connections to Prince Charles. The same goes with
the banking families in America. George Bush and Barbara Bush are from the same
bloodline 3 the Pierce bloodline, which changed its name from Percy, when it crossed
the Atlantic. Percy is one of the aristocratic families of Britain, to this day. They were
involved in the Gunpowder Plot to blow up
Parliament at the time of Guy Fawkes” +
Researcher/Author David Icke, “Alice in Wonderland
and the World Trade Center”

If America declared its Independence from the
European monarchies in 1776, how is it possible that
every single president has descended from European
monarchs? If presidents are democratically elected as
we are told, what are the odds that we would always
choose members of British and French royal
bloodlines to lead us?

“The Americas have always been owned and governed by the same royal families of
Britain and Europe that conventional history states as being among those defeated
during the wars of so3called ‘Independence.’” +Michael Tsarion, “Astrotheology and
Sidereal Mythology”

18. Sumerian Grammar - by Dietz, Otto Edzard 2003 /$23.35

It seems safe to say that this "Sumerian Grammar by Professor D.O. Edzard will become the new classic reference in the field. It is an up-to-date, reliable guide to the language of the Sumerians, the inventors of cuneiform writing in the late 4th millennium B.C., and thus essential contributors to the high cultural standard of the whole of Mesopotamia and beyond. Following traditional lines, the "Grammar describes general characteristics, origins, linguistic environment, phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax, and phraseology. Due attention is given to the symbiosis with Semitic Akkadian, with which Sumerian was toform a veritable linguistic area. With lucid explanations of all technical linguistic theory. Each transliteration carries its English translation.

19. IF DARWIN HAD KNOWN ABOUT DNA - The Darwinism That Developed in a Climate of Ignorance - by Harun Yahya 2008

Too small to be seen with the naked eye, DNA serves as the data bank of our cells. Information about all the living things around you is concealed within this miniaturized data bank inside every cell of every organism. All the structural characteristics of a rose, an orange, a sparrow, a tiger or a human being are present in the nuclei of the cells that comprise these organisms. Look at your hand that is holding this book. These data stores exist in the nucleus of every single one of the cells that compose that hand.

These DNA molecules are invisible to the naked eye but in terms of their contents and data-storage capacity, they are equal to a library consisting of tens of thousands of books. As you observe the miraculous aspects of DNA, which can be seen only by magnifying it thousands of times, you will also appreciate how such minute essential component of life places the theory of evolution in an insuperable quandary. Examining the details of this extraordinary structure will give you the opportunity to ponder the infinite might, incomparable knowledge, scope and dominion of our Lord, Allah (God) and the universe He has created.

Every day, new discoveries are being made about the universe we inhabit. Billions of galaxies lie hundreds of thousands of light years away from one another. Millions of stars that fill those galaxies, whose dimensions defy our powers of conception. Giant planets constantly revolve in a complex order at speeds of thousands of kilometers without ever colliding with one another. Here, on one of the smaller of these planets, we examine the cells, the building blocks of life on Earth, themselves no bigger than a mere speck, under the electron microscope, an invention of the 20th century.

Each of the conditions that makes this planet suitable for life is indispensable to it. The Earth's environment exists and persists by the mercy of Allah.

Albert Einstein, one of the 20th century's most eminent scientists, expressed man's difficulty in comprehending the order in the universe in these terms:

The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books, but doesn't know what it is.

Human beings have been equipped with all the systems they need within this extraordinary environment. The more details that we learn about the body, the more we realize how miraculous our lives are. As they discover the systems concealed inside their bodies, many people--who would otherwise live without reflection, caught up in the daily course of their lives--will reflect on the purpose behind their existence and become aware of their responsibilities to Allah, their Creator. Indeed, various scientists have acquired faith in the existence of Allah by seeing the greatness of His knowledge and the perfections He has created.

20. European Paganism - by Ken Dowden 1999 /$36.04

European Paganism uncovers the facts about pagan rituals and worship, presenting the observations of ancient and medieval pagans themselves and the fulminations of Christian fathers and bishops. Many of the sources cited are available in this book in translation for the first time.

21. The Palgrave Concise Historical Atlas of the First World War - by William J. Philpott, Matthew Hughes 2005

The profound influence of World War I on politics and society is still felt today, yet it remains a greatly misunderstood conflict, shrouded in myths and misperceptions. In The Palgrave Concise Historical Atlas of the First World War Philpott and Hughes, leading historians of the conflict, draw on recent scholarship to present a clear introduction to the war. In fifty maps, accompanied by supporting text and statistical tables, they survey the main battles and political features of the war. This concise volume will give students and general readers important insights into the nature and effects of world war.

22. The International Dictionary of Food & Nutrition - by Kenneth N. Anderson, Lois E. Anderson 1993 /$34.95

23. Encyclopedia of Forensic and Legal Medicine(4 Volumes) by Roger Byard,Tracey Corey,Carol Henderson,Jason Payne-James 2005 ($1,240.00)

Winner of The Society of Authors and the Royal Society of Medicine Minty Book Prize 2006 2006 British Medical Association Medical Book Competition - HIGHLY COMMENDED "This collection of authoritative articles is truly encyclopaedic and is a 'must have' reference work." - Dr. Neville Davis, President of the Medico-Legal Society "The Encyclopaedia of Forensic and Legal Medicine provides a valuable reference tool for professionals of all disciplines. Comprehensive description of topics is put into a broader context and allows the reader to delve deeper into specific areas of interest. The narrative flows well and is accompanied by high quality and well-explained illustrations. The chapters are appropriately referenced. This work will be heavily relied upon by those working in forensic and legal medicine and related fields." - Dr. Anthony Bleetman, Consultant in Accident and Emergency Medicine, Birmingham Heartlands Hospital, Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer in Surgery, University of Birmingham, Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer, Centre for Primary Health Care Studies, University of Warwick In this multivolume encyclopedia, contributors explore the relationship between law, medicine, and science in the study of forensics. An international team of forensic specialists was responsible for covering over one hundred different subjects in this comprehensive reference series. Traditional crime-solving techniques such as autopsies, ballistics, fingerprinting, hair and fiber analysis, and the more sophisticated procedures associated with terrorism investigations, forensic chemistry, DNA, and immunoassays are some of the topics presented. Chapters, arranged in alphabetical order, are written in a clear and concise manner. Definitions are often provided for obscure terms. Information is supplemented by color pictures, tables, and diagrams. Each topic begins with an introduction and ends with a list of additional articles to be used for cross-referencing and further studies. In some instances, case studies further explain a topic, but they are minimal in number. This set should prove to be an excellent resource for professionals working in forensics, lawyers, or medical/graduate students interested in forensic training. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Libraries supporting graduate students and above. -- CHOICE Library Journal THE FOUR-VOLUME ENCYCLOPEDIA OF Forensic and Legal Medicine is a major undertaking, representing a breakthrough in encompassing forensic medicine, legal medicine, the forensic sciences, and related fields. In delineating the interactions between medicine and the law, it is a pioneering work. Encyclopedia of Forensic and Legal Medicine covers the gamut of forensic and legal medicine and, in essence, is a complete library of the forensic sciences, including odontology, anthropology, toxicology, entomology, criminalistics, and forensic psychiatry. It also includes legal and technical issues, as well as health care, human rights, and ethics regarding both victims and perpetrators. Subtopics are endless and, to name a few, include the crime scene, DNA profiling, the various abuses suffered by children, police guidelines on postmortem examinations, prints (finger, palm, foot, face, and ear), prions, positional asphyxia, torture, ritualistic crimes, brain death, forensic psychiatry, war crimes, religious beliefs and atheism, various types of traumatic deaths, and decomposition patterns and rates. Many of the references will also have relevance for police, judicial, legal, and other investigative authorities in both providing and collating information. The volumes are highly authoritative, comprehensive, and diverse, consisting of articles by 279 recognized expert contributors from various disciplines. Notably, articles are also edited by a distinguished and expert editorial advisory board. Articles are succinctly written and richly illustrated with tables, diagrams, and highquality photographs, both color and black-and-white, that clearly illustrate the investigative findings and display important relationships. The material is presented as a series of alphabetical entries and is well organized so that the reader can readily locate specific information. To that end, three features are provided: "Contents List," "Cross References," and an index. A detailed "Contents" section at the beginning of each volume provides a subject's volume, page number, and a list of its component articles. This article list is repeated on the first page of the respective subject. Related topics and synonyms are also presented. The extensive cross-references at the ends of articles will lead the reader to additional detailed discussions of a subject, parallel discussions, and to areas that enhance the subject. The subject index is detailed, with three levels of headings, and highlights major discussions, tables, figures, general cross-references, and comparisons. Recommendations for additional reading are another valuable enhancement. The scope of the volumes gives an idea of their specific content. Volume 1 runs from "Accreditation of the Forensic Specialties" to "Courts, Report Writing"; volume 2 from "Crime Scene Investigation and Examination" to "Human Rights, Controls and Principles"; volume 3 from "Identification" to "Ritualistic Crime"; and volume 4 from "Road Traffic Accidents, Airbag-Related Injuries and Deaths" to (the Japanese crime society) "Yakusa." In between are numerous articles by expert contributors. The Encyclopedia of Forensic and Legal Medicine is a veritable forensic library. I would recommend it to forensic pathologists, general pathologists, pediatric pathologists, forensic physicians, forensic scientists, coroners, forensic investigators, emergency department physicians, police surgeons, homicide detectives, prosecutors, judges, legal practitioners, pediatricians, primary care physicians, and psychiatrists. - Journal of the American Medical Association This impressive four-volume VADE MECUM (reference manual), which includes contributions from 279 authors from 21 countries, is both comprehensive and timely. - Michael M. Baden, MD, New England Journal of Medicine "Overall I have the impression that there are detailed articles on a wide range of topics. Each of these has been written by someone eminent in their field. This work in four volumes is aimed not just at specialists but also at the legal profession...This book is an ambitious undertaking and on the whole I (as a forensic physician) am going to find it very useful...I think that the subjects covered will give scientists a starting point and the cross references within the book and suggested reading lists will fill most gaps." - Quote - Dr. Lesley Lord, Science and Justice,

24. Encyclopedia of Politics: The Left and the Right - by Rodney P. Carlisle 2005 /$320.00

If one can believe the pundits on the Sunday morning TV political shows, there is no center remaining in politics, only the Left and the Right. It is no wonder that this latest offering from Sage is not only subtitled The Left and the Right but each political side is in a separate volume, as if there could be no coming together of the two, even between the covers of a book.

The Leftand the Right are political concepts widely used and, it is assumed, widely understood and accepted. In more than 450 entries, these volumes attempt to delve more deeply into what these terms mean and imply. In each volume, alphabetically arranged entries cover countries, people, movements, ideological principles, and more. Most entries are at least a page long and generally have a historical focus. Volume 1 contains a time line and a "Reader's Guide" that lists topics and shows where they fall (for example, "People on the Left," "People on the Right"). Volume 2 has a "Resource Guide" listing books, journals and magazines, and Web sites; an extensive glossary; and a set index. As one might expect of a reference encyclopedia from Sage, this source has high production values, with excellent paper, readable type, and proper bibliographies at the end of each entry. The editor has appropriate credentials for such an undertaking, as do those on the list of contributors. The content of the articles is clear and balanced. At a first examination, this is a seemingly excellent reference source.

The sense of balance disappears when one takes a look at the choice of which volume contains which articles. The entries dealing with the countries of the world appear in both volumes, with the emphasis of the discussion matching the "leaning" of the volume. Concepts such as Censorship, Feminism, and Supreme Court appear in both. Some topics obviously belong in one volume or the other and are appropriately located. However, others are assigned to a volume with what could be considered bias. For example, the articles on Education, Patriotism, Religion, and Taxes appear in the volume for the Right, but there is no corresponding discussion of the concepts in the volume for the Left. Conversely, Campaign finance, Environmentalism, and Human Rights are assigned only to the Left.

It is difficult to properly assess this reference source. It could be both very useful and a source of outrage (not a common pairing in standard reference books). For collections in which political science is a major subject, purchase might be unavoidable, but users might need some explanation.

The 450 articles have been written by an impressive array of world scholars, creating an appropriately global perspective. A brief time line of politics and helpful glossary of terms are appended, along with a reader's guide and index... The work is a solid and lasting contribution to the understanding of the issues that divide us politically. Highly recommended for its readability, scholarly content, and uniqueness." -- Kelli Perkins Library Journal 20050701 "This two-volume set would be helpful to students with a renewed interest in politics. The writing is clear and concise." -- Laura Younkin

25. Obama - The Postmodern Coup: Making of a Manchurian Candidate by Webster Griffin Tarpley 2008

Barack Obama is a deeply troubled personality, the megalomaniac front man for a postmodern coup by the intelligence agencies, using fake polls, mobs of swarming adolescents, super-rich contributors, and orchestrated media hysteria to short-circuit normal politics and seize power. Obama comes from the orbit of the Ford Foundation, and has never won public office in a contested election. His guru and controller is Zbigniew Brzezinski, the deranged revanchist and Russia-hater who dominated the catastrophic Carter presidency 30 years ago. All indications are that Brzezinski recruited Obama at Columbia University a quarter century ago. Trilateral Commission co-founder Brzezinski wants a global showdown with Russia and China far more dangerous for the United States than the Bush-Cheney Iraq adventure. Obama's economics are pure Skull & Bones/Chicago school austerity and sacrifice for American working families, all designed to bail out the bankrupt Wall Street elitist financiers who own Obama. Obama's lemming legions and Kool-Aid cult candidacy hearken back to Italy in 1919-1922, and raise the question of postmodern fascism in the United States today. Obama is a recipe for a world tragedy. No American voter can afford to ignore the lessons contained in this book.

26. Pyramid of thoughts - by Daniela Giordano & Jan Pajak 2000

The primary reason for writing this treatise, was to provide inspiration and guidance to
people who are willing to attempt the completion of a very important communication device
called here the "telepathic pyramid", and to make available to these builders the complete
knowledge accumulated so-far about this device - including the description of principles and
phenomena that it utilises in the operation. The unusual attribute of the telepathic pyramid is that
it is a gift for our civilisation from anonymous cosmic allies from stars who sympathise with the
doomed fate of humanity and try to help us.
Unfortunately, the painful experience from the past indicate that all those enthusiasts who
attempt the completion of the telepathic pyramid unexpectedly are enduring various obstacles,
problems, and misfortunes, which in the final count make i t very difficult, if not impossible, to
accomplish a working prototype. As it was determined in the course of research, these
oppressive events which are holding back the completion of the pyramid, are instigated by ...
UFOnauts. Therefore additional topics which were needed to be included into the content of this
treatise are: (1) to issue the warning to builders of this unusual device that numerous strange
problems are approaching them, (2) to explain why UFOnauts are pilling all these countless
obstacles and problems in front of everyone who attempts to complete this device, (3) to reveal
how these obstacles are to be overcome, and (4) to realize why it is extremely important that in
spite of all these oppressive actions of UFOnauts we should be very decisive in pursuing our
efforts of successful completing this unusual telepathic device. Because of these additional
topics, the careful reading of this treatise is recommended to all those people for whom the fate
of our civilisation does matter, and who are interested in gaining a perspective view (although
alternative to generally accepted) of various events which are taking place on our planet.
The major achievement of this treatise is that it clearly reveals the shocking fact of the
occupation of Earth by an invisible cosmic invader and exploiter, popularly known as UFOs. It
also reveals that there is a wealth of scientific evidence available which is capable to
conclusively prove that this invisible occupation of Earth by a cosmic parasite is continued since
our planet was populated with humans. Moreover, this treatise also reveals that there is available
a strong evidence for the existence of another (totallistic) cosmic civilisation, which sympathises
with the doomed fate of humans on Earth, and which undertakes continuous, although
anonymous, efforts to ally us in regaining our freedom. Because this another totallistic civilisation
is cut out from the physical access to Earth by warships of our occupant, one direction in which
the efforts of these anonymous allies are going, is to send us "supplies of weapons". These
supplies are simply descriptions (delivered via telepathic projectors) as how to build various
technical devices which are to help us in our defence against the cosmic parasite. The telepathic
pyramid described in chapter C of this treatise is only one example of numerous such weapon of
defence which was supplied to us by our cosmic ally. This treatise reveals also the course of a
silent battle to build this defence device on Earth, which was fought right from the moment it was
supplied to us. Chapter D of this treatise explains the phenomena and principles on which the
operation of this device is based. Also it documents that from the scientific point of view these
principles are sound and valid, therefore also the technical completion of this device must be
feasible. The treatise systematically presents relevant findings and evidence, providing all the
required background theories and deductions. Also it illustrates what consequences the findings
introduce for our civilisation. Therefore, if it ever becomes appropriate, every interested
researcher could later either verify the evidence, theories, and deductions provided here, or
extend them through his/her own research and experiments.

27. Atlantis and Lemuria THE LEMURIAN AGE - by Aurelia Louise Jones 2008

Lemurian Age took place approximately between the years 4,500,000 BC to about
12,000 years ago. Until the sinking of the continents of Lemuria and later of
Atlantis, there were seven major continents on this planet. The lands belonging to
the gigantic continent of Lemuria included lands now under the Pacific Ocean as
well as Hawaii, the Easter Islands, the Fiji Islands, Australia and New Zealand.
Also lands in the Indian Ocean and Madagascar. The Eastern coast of Lemuria
also extended to California and part of British Columbia in Canada. For a very
long time before the fall in consciousness, the Lemurians lived in a fifth
dimensional frequency or dimension, and were able to switch back and forth from
fifth to third at will, without any problem. It could be done whenever it was desired,
by intension and the energies of the heart.
The Lemurian race was a mixture of beings that came mainly from Sirius, Alpha
Centauri and a smaller number of them from other planets as well. Eventually, as
these races mixed together on Earth, they formed the Lemurian civilization. To
say the least, it was quite an awesome mixture. Lemuria was really the cradle of
civilization on this planet, the “Motherland” who assisted in the eventual birth of
many other civilizations. Atlantis came about at a later time.
The continent of Lemuria thrived in a state of paradise and magic for a few
millions years. Eventually, as a result of wars between the two major continents,
great devastations took place on Lemuria and on Atlantis. Twenty five thousand
years ago, Atlantis and Lemuria, the two highest civilizations of the time were
battling each other over “ideologies”. They had two very different ideas about how
the direction of other civilizations on this planet should go. The Lemurians
believed that the other less evolved cultures should be left alone to continue their
own evolution at their own pace according to their own understandings and
pathway.

28. Future Technology From The Past - by jim marrs 2004

The accidental discovery of single atom elements by a Phoenix-area cotton farmer in the 1970s may
have opened the door to limitless free energy, a cure for AIDS and cancer, longevity, faster-than-light
speeds, anti-gravity and much more, perhaps even inter-dimensional and time travel. But this discovery
may precipitated new policies and even war in a struggle to gain control over this new technology? And,
while this discovery has been startling to modern science, it appears to be nothing new.

As stated in Ecclesiastes 1:9 (New International),
“What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new
under the sun.”
Today, several scholars have linked this amazing discovery to the mythology and legends of the far
distant past, especially in ancient Mesopotamia today known as Iraq.
Interest in this new technology grew rapidly and by 2003, some researchers were even claiming that the
invasion of Iraq made have had more to do with this new discovery than with oil, weapons of mass
destruction or regime change. This story of amazing new discoveries, their connection with narratives
from the ancient past and the possible role all this plays in current world events is gaining more and more
interest within the public. It appears as though these elemental secrets were lost centuries ago, though
vestiges of this knowledge may have been passed down through the years by a series of secret
societies.
The current story began with David Hudson, a self-styled conservative Republican and cotton farmer
from Phoenix, Arizona. By the mid-1970s, Hudson had found farming in the parched baked soil there a
hard scrabble. He began to look for other means of making a living even as he began injecting sulphuric
acid into the soil in an effort to break up the dry crust.

He found that by spraying his soil samples with a cyanide solution, he could obtain traces of metals from
the ore, including gold.
“[W]e had been doing soils analysis [when we thought of] this concept of literally piling ore
up on a piece of plastic and spraying it with a cyanide solution, which dissolves selectively
the gold out of the ore,” Hudson told a Dallas audience in 1995. “It trickles down through the
ore until it hits the plastic and then runs out of the plastic into the settling pond. It’s pumped
up through activated charcoal where the gold adheres to the charcoal and then the solution
is returned to the stack… The concept seemed pretty simple. I decided, you know a lot of
farmers have airplanes, a lot of farmers have race horses, a lot of farmers have race cars…
I decided I was going to have a gold mine.”
After checking out several locations, including abandoned gold mines, Hudson found the site near
Phoenix he was seeking.
“I had a lot of earth movers and water trucks and road graders and backhoes and
caterpillars and these kinds of things on the farm and I had equipment operators, so I
decided I was going to set up one of these heap leach cyanide systems.”

29. The Watchers - By Phi l ip Gardiner 2007

This is the tale of one of the ear l iest of al l origins of secret
societ ies, and from where is derived much of the terminology and
symbol ism st i l l used today by the Freemasons, Rosicrucians and
many others. I t is the tale of the Watchers - otherwise known as
the ‘sons of God’ and in Hebrew as Eyr im ( Ir im) . In doing so we
shal l be taking a look at the very or igins of the f i rst secret
societ ies and the inf luences of astrotheology and serpent worship
upon them. We must f i rst turn to Sumeria.
Zechar ia Si tchin in The Stai rway to Heaven, states:
“The Akkadians cal led thei r predecessors Shumer ians, and spoke
of the Land of Shumer. I t was in fact the bibl ical Land of Shin’ar.
I t was the land whose name – Shumer – l i teral ly meant the Land
of the Watchers. I t was indeed the Egypt ian Ta Neter – Land of
the Watchers, the land from which gods had come to Egypt . ”
So Sumer ia could mean ‘Land of the Watchers’ , and i t is from this
Land that the Elohim or Shining Ones who governed the Watchers
also came. This is the land of or igins and the governing gods.
Jul ian Jaynes in The Or igin of Consciousness in the Breakdown
of the Bicameral Mind, tel ls us something interest ing about these
governing gods:
“Throughout Mesopotamia, from the earl iest t imes of Sumer and
Akkad, al l lands were owned by gods and men were thei r slaves.
Of this, the cunei form texts leave no doubt whatever. Each ci ty-
state had i ts pr incipal god, and the king was described in the very
earl iest wr i t ten documents that we have as ‘ the tenant farmer of
the god. ’’’
Anybody who has seen Stargate wi l l now see just where this
modern TV show f i rst got i ts ideas. So let ’s just take a look at
these Elohim for a moment to f ind out who these ‘gods’ were that
supposedly enslaved men and were in charge of the Watchers.
Elohim
The term used of ten in the Old Testament (and other texts outside
of i t as in the Musl im Al lah = Elah) for the Lord. This is an
incor rect usage, as the term is plural and means ‘Shining Ones’ .

30. The Project Gutenberg eBook, The Story of Atlantis and the Lost Lemuria,= by W. Scott-Elliot

For readers unacquainted with the progress that has been made in recent years by earnest students of
occultism attached to the Theosophical Society, the significance of the statement embodied in the following
pages would be misapprehended without some preliminary explanation. Historical research has depended for
western civilisation hitherto, on written records of one kind or another. When literary memoranda have fallen
short, stone monuments have sometimes been available, and fossil remains have given us a few unequivocal,
though inarticulate assurances concerning the antiquity of the human race; but modern culture has lost sight of
or has overlooked possibilities connected with the investigation of past events, which are independent of
fallible evidence transmitted to us by ancient writers. The world at large is thus at present so imperfectly alive
to the resources of human faculty, that by most people as yet, the very existence, even as a potentiality, of
psychic powers, which some of us all the while are consciously exercising every day, is scornfully denied and
derided. The situation is sadly ludicrous from the point of view of those who appreciate the prospects of
evolution, because mankind is thus wilfully holding at arm's length, the knowledge that is essential to its own
ulterior pro[iv]gress. The maximum cultivation of which the human intellect is susceptible while it denies
itself all the resources of its higher spiritual consciousness, can never be more than a preparatory process as
compared with that which may set in when the faculties are sufficiently enlarged to enter into conscious
relationship with the super-physical planes or aspects of Nature.
For anyone who will have the patience to study the published results of psychic investigation during the last
fifty years, the reality of clairvoyance as an occasional phenomenon of human intelligence must establish
itself on an immovable foundation. For those who, without being occultists—students that is to say of Nature's
loftier aspects, in a position to obtain better teaching than that which any written books can give—for those
who merely avail themselves of recorded evidence, a declaration on the part of others of a disbelief in the
possibility of clairvoyance, is on a level with the proverbial African's disbelief in ice. But the experiences of
clairvoyance that have accumulated on the hands of those who have studied it in connection with mesmerism,
do no more than prove the existence in human nature of a capacity for cognizing physical phenomena distant
either in space or time, in some way which has nothing to do with the physical senses. Those who have
studied the mysteries of clairvoyance in connection with theosophic teaching have been enabled to realize that
the ultimate resources of that faculty range as far beyond its humbler manifestations, dealt with by unassisted
enquirers, as the resources of the higher mathematics exceed those of the abacus. Clairvoyance, indeed, is of
many[v] kinds, all of which fall easily into their places when we appreciate the manner in which human
consciousness functions on different planes of Nature. The faculty of reading the pages of a closed book, or of
discerning objects blindfold, or at a distance from the observer, is quite a different faculty from that employed
on the cognition of past events. That last is the kind of which it is necessary to say something here, in order
that the true character of the present treatise on Atlantis may be understood, but I allude to the others merely
that the explanation I have to give may not be mistaken for a complete theory of clairvoyance in all its
varieties.
We may best be helped to a comprehension of clairvoyance as related to past events, by considering in the
first instance the phenomena of memory. The theory of memory which relates it to an imaginary
rearrangement of physical molecules of brain matter, going on at every instant of our lives, is one that present
itself as plausible to no one who can ascend one degree above the thinking level of the uncompromising
atheistical materialist. To every one who accepts, as even a reasonable hypothesis, the idea that a man is
something more than a carcase in a state of animation, it must be a reasonable hypothesis that memory has to
do with that principle in man which is super-physical. His memory in short, is a function of some other than
the physical plane. The pictures of memory are imprinted, it is clear, on some non-physical medium, and are
accessible to the embodied thinker in ordinary cases by virtue of some effort he makes in as[vi] much
unconsciousness as to its precise character, as he is unconscious of the brain impulse which actuates the
muscles of his heart. The events with which he has had to do in the past are photographed by Nature on some
imperishable page of super-physical matter, and by making an appropriate interior effort, he is capable of
bringing them again, when he requires them, within the area of some interior sense which reflects its
perception on the physical brain. We are not all of us able to make this effort equally well, so that memory is
sometimes dim, but even in the experience of mesmeric research, the occasional super-excitation of memory
under mesmerism is a familiar fact. The circumstances plainly show that the record of Nature is accessible if
we know how to recover it, or even if our own capacity to make an effort for its recovery is somehow
improved without our having an improved knowledge of the method employed. And from this thought we
may arrive by an easy transition at the idea, that in truth the records of Nature are not separate collections of
individual property, but constitute the all-embracing memory of Nature herself, on which different people are
in a position to make drafts according to their several capacities.
