  I have researched and written over 150 books on strange and mysterious phenomena. Some of these books are based on my own experiences and most topics are based on my research. My fascination with strange things has become a major passion in my life. 
  This book includes over sixty true stories on many different subjects to provide a lot of food for thought on these topics. 
  These stories cover Bigfoot, Aliens & UFOs, Time and Dimensional travel stories, survival stories, ancient civilizations, Out Of Place Artifacts, Dragons, Giant Snakes, the Paranormal, Longevity, Outer Space, Spiritual Experiences, Impossible Ruins, and much more. 
  Graduated from Engineering School and also had many paranormal experiences from learning meditation and other practices. My goal is to write about weird topics from an analytical perspective. 
  When you finish this volume maybe you will see my point of view which is that as much as we think we know about this world and the Universe, there are still many mysteries and strange things out there.

  Karl Marx and the Satanic Roots...

  Karl Marx, coauthor of the revolutionary text The Communist Manifesto, grew up in a Christian family, and his early writings showed belief in a Christian worldview. Yet in his adulthood, Marx embraced a deep personal rebellion against God and all Christian values. In Karl Marx and the Satanic Roots of Communism, Richard Wurmbrand explores the development of Marx’s antireligious perspective that led to the philosophical foundations of communism. By examining Marx’s writings as well as biographical accounts, Wurmbrand builds a convincing case that Marx adhered to a belief system that opposes God. Karl Marx and the Satanic Roots of Communism provides significant insight into why Christians and the church have been targeted by Marxists and Communists alike as it exposes the evil roots of a theory and government system that continue to persecute Christians in the present.

  "An enthralling and profoundly relevant book." ―Salman Rushdie 
  "I adored reading these joyful, illuminating, and engrossing journeys through ancient literature." ―Madeline Miller 
  From the most celebrated translator of our time comes a visionary exploration of how translation reshapes and enriches our understanding of the ancient world. 
  Drawing on twenty years of scholarship and translation experience, Emily Wilson―renowned translator of Homer's Odyssey and Iliad―explores the difficult choices that translators must make, the pleasures of finding new solutions to old problems, and the inevitable frustrations of never fully capturing what is in the original work. Across chapters that range from the politics of Helen of Troy to the obscenities of Aristophanes, from Roman imitation of Greek models to contemporary debates over "foreignizing" and "domesticizing" translation styles, Wilson examines how modern norms of gender, sexuality, violence, humor, and power complicate our readings of ancient works, and how translation always risks denaturing what is unique and strange about the ancient world. Brilliant, erudite, and yet accessible to listeners with no classics background, Crossing the Wine-Dark Sea is at once an introduction to the wonders of Greek and Roman literature, a manifesto for the value of translation in a rapidly changing world, and an invitation to encounter ancient cultures anew.

  A Realistic Path to Peace - From...

  This book delves into genocide in Palestine, and the war crisis in eastern Europe, West Asia and East Asia. It examines the role of the Big Lie in blunting popular opposition, and describes ways countries around the world and the general public are pressing for peace.  
  The world is in a crisis now. As its empire declines toward collapse, the United States leadership is making a series of disastrous errors. The “neocons” in Washington, DC, are determined to maintain U.S. global domination regardless of what it might take. The stakes are high for them. They seem to believe that if they “allow” any other 
  country to challenge their global leadership, their whole system could fall apart. 
  So they are prepared to do whatever it takes. Supporting genocide in Israel—by providing weapons, money, and a bizarre “moral justification” for horrific genocidal bombing—is a sign of what it takes. Blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline was another sign of what it can take. 
  Western European leaders have been rounded up and bludgeoned into a unified NATO alliance against Russia, and in support of Israeli genocide against Palestinians. This alliance—originally composed of “north Atlantic” countries under U.S. leadership at the end of World War II—is now also being extended to Asia. It’s a quest to curb China’s historic economic success, which threatens Western domination of global trade. 
  A new peace movement is emerging. It faces enormous obstacles, including a gigantic wave of war hysteria engineered in Washington, magnified exponentially by a captive mainstream media that seems to have abandoned all pretense of critical journalistic independence and objectivity. But as facts emerge and truth surfaces, the movement for peace will intensify. 
  Combined with the horrific results of sanctions and war, these facts and truths can be expected to bring ever greater waves of opposition and resistance into the fray.
