Enoch and the Return of the Gods

Erich von Däniken

Sinossi

Who Was Enoch and Did He Speak the Language of Extraterrestrials?   The bestselling author of Chariots of the Gods, Erich von Däniken, examines the great traditions of mankind—thousands of years old—for signs, traces, messages that point to early contact with extraterrestrial intelligences. The Gods were here. But when will they return? Or have they ever really left?   The culmination of long-term research, Enoch and the Return of the Gods argues that we are very much in the minds and eyes of other cosmic life-forms and that, as a result, many of the dramatic historical events and remarkable teachings of religious texts should be reinterpreted. The words of the Bible are at the center of his text-critical interpretations that pick apart the sense and nonsense of religious views. He also draws on ancient Jewish sagas and legends, reports from early historians, and Indian, Babylonian, and Persian traditions.   As always, von Däniken finds support for a number of interesting questions:  Did Adam and Eve witness a UFO?  What will Judgment Day truly be?  Why did extraterrestrials tinker with humanity’s DNA?    The Gods were here, and it is clear their influence remains to this day.   This book was first published in 1998 under the title The Return of the Gods. This new edition features a new introduction by the author.

Gladiators and Games - The...

Rogan Fish

The origins of gladiatorial games can be traced back to the ancient Roman Republic, although their roots extend even further back into earlier civilizations. While the gladiatorial contests that are iconic today were popularized by the Romans, the initial concept of such games was deeply influenced by traditions and customs from earlier societies, especially the Etruscans. In fact, the Etruscans are often credited with introducing the practice of gladiatorial combat to the Roman world. 
The earliest gladiatorial contests were likely held as part of funeral rites. Roman aristocrats and leaders believed that these violent spectacles would honor the deceased and ensure their passage into the afterlife. These games, known as munera, were originally private events, organized by wealthy individuals to display their power and wealth, while offering a form of public entertainment. The idea was that the bloodshed and valor shown by the fighters would symbolize a tribute to the dead and possibly even appease the spirits of the departed. The number of gladiators involved in these early contests was small, and the fights were often staged in temporary arenas. 
The practice gradually evolved from being a private funeral tradition into a state-sponsored spectacle, especially during the 3rd century BCE, as the Republic expanded and began to look for ways to solidify its control over its vast territories. The games became a tool of political propaganda, used by ambitious politicians and generals to gain favor with the masses. By the time of the Roman Empire, these gladiatorial contests had grown to monumental proportions, with arenas like the Colosseum hosting thousands of spectators.

SCOUTS OUT! - A Kiowa Warrior...

Ryan Robicheaux

The OH-58D Kiowa Warrior—a deep reconnaissance scout and attack aircraft—was legendary to those it supported. Regularly flying mere feet off of the ground while intentionally drawing enemy fire, almost everyone called Kiowa pilots crazy. Responsible for hunting elusive enemy fighters and protecting those under their charge, Kiowa crews displayed a fierce and intense devotion that was unparalleled. 
Through the vantage point of a Kiowa Warrior helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army's Air Cavalry, Scouts Out! offers a truly unique view of the war in Afghanistan. This is accomplished by revealing a deeply personal journey through two deployments, documenting the day-to-day life, struggles, combat, and extreme challenges faced. The after effects of these experiences can be witnessed as Ryan's outlook and very personality are forever altered and changed in unexpected ways. Drawing from copious journals and notes, everything captured in Scouts Out! is raw, real, and in-the-moment.  
Richly illustrated with 70 original photographs and maps, Scouts Out! presents an essential and accurate narrative of the conflict in Afghanistan. Devoid of the filler and misleading propaganda that is so pervasive in modern media and writing, Scouts Out! is an engrossing true story from America's longest and least understood war.

Seal in the Desert - Moving Past...

Heather Fritz

When my late husband and I moved off-grid, we rented property. The previous owners had seals in the middle of the Mojave Desert. The seals clearly did not belong there. 
You may be unaware that you are stuck, when you do not know better. 
Our traumas are like building blocks that we use to create walls of a mental prison which effectively becomes the life that we know. 
Often, the walls are so very clear that even we may not notice them. But our inner voice keeps telling us that we must escape to find where we belong. 
The problem is that we don't know how to communicate it all to ourselves, let alone to our closest loved ones. 
This book is about naming, claiming, and taming that feeling of being stuck. Hopefully it will help every seal to get out of the desert and find their ideal ocean. 
Although this story is a tough one, it sheds a much needed light on emotional and mental abuse. I hope you enjoy this memoir in which healing and growing resilience triumph.
