Sinopse

Francis Thompson's "Shelley" offers a profound exploration of the life and works of the renowned Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Utilizing a lyrical prose style that mirrors Shelley's own poetic spirit, Thompson examines the intricate interplay between Shelley's personal experiences, philosophical ideals, and artistic aspirations. The book delves into thematic elements such as love, nature, and revolution, resonating with the broader Romantic movement that sought to break free from the constraints of neoclassicism. Thompson's insightful analysis situates Shelley within the socio-political context of his time, highlighting his radical ideas and the impact of his tumultuous life on his poetic oeuvre. Francis Thompson, a poet himself and deeply entrenched in the literary culture of his era, was influenced by both Romantic and Victorian values. His background in classical education and his admiration for the great poets shaped his understanding of artistic expression, leading him to investigate Shelley's contributions to literature. Thompson's personal struggles with faith and identity parallel Shelley's own, making his examination a nuanced reflection on creativity and existential inquiry. Readers who seek to understand the depth of Shelley's legacy will find Thompson's "Shelley" to be an indispensable guide. It not only illuminates the poet's intricacies but also encourages a deeper reflection on the artistic journey itself. This work is essential for both scholars and those passionate about the transformative power of poetry.

    In 1969 the US Air Force issued a statement that read‚ "No UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force was ever an indication of threat to our national security." This statement has been proven untrue by the testimony of many military officers and airmen and documentation of incidents involving UFOs and nuclear weapons, testimonies of which the US Air Force was fully aware. UAPs and the Nuclear Puzzle details many of these testimonies, some for the first time. 
     
     
     
    As partial justification for its position, the Air Force cites a University of Colorado study that was contracted and paid for by federal funds. UAPs and the Nuclear Puzzle reveals how this study was actually just another part of the plan to cover up the reality of the UFO phenomenon. This book reveals evidence that the investigators for the Colorado study knew about the UFO-related missile shutdown incidents but did not investigate them or include them in their final report. 
     
     
      
    As stated by Robert Salas: "To date, many former or retired US Air Force personnel—once trusted to operate or guard weapons of mass destruction—have come forward and revealed ongoing UFO surveillance of, and occasional interference with, our nuclear weapons. The entire body of these factual accounts alters the historical perspective on the nuclear arms race."

    Neville Goddard (February 19, 1905 – October 1, 1972) was born in St. Michael, Barbados, and came to the US in 1922 to study drama and dance. While touring with his dance company in England he developed an interest in metaphysics. After his return to New York he gave up the entertainment industry to devote his full attention to the study of spiritual and mystical matters. While living in Los Angeles in the 1950s, he gave a series of talks on television and radio. In his lectures and books Neville dealt with what he called "The Law" and "The Promise," which relate to the method of creating one's physical reality through imagining. The following recording is from a 1968 lecture.

    Following the resounding success of the eponymous West End and Broadway hit play, Frost/Nixon tells the extraordinary story of how Sir David Frost pursued and landed the biggest fish of his career—and how the series drew larger audiences than any news interview ever had in the United States, before being shown all over the world. 
    This is Frost's absorbing story of his pursuit of Richard Nixon, and is no less revealing of his own toughness and pertinacity than of the ex-President's elusiveness. Frost's encounters with such figures as Swifty Lazar, Ron Ziegler, potential sponsors, and Nixon as negotiator are nothing short of hilarious, and his insight into the taping of the programs themselves is fascinating.  
    Frost/Nixon provides the authoritative account of the only public trial that Nixon would ever have, and a revelation of the man's character as it appeared in the stress of eleven grueling sessions before the cameras. Including historical perspective and transcripts of the edited interviews, this is the story of Sir David Frost's quest to produce one of the most dramatic pieces of television ever broadcast, described by commentators at the time as “a catharsis” for the American people.
