    Human & Alien UFO Anti-Gravity...

    Quite a few books have been written about anti-gravity and UFOs. I surveyed the existing literature and determined that a solid collection of real research on anti-gravity and possible Alien anti-gravity technology really does not exist in one place. 
    The US Government has also been doing research on this topic for over seventy years. 
    When I decided to write this book I collected many disparate sources of anti-gravity research and the contributions of possible alien anti-gravity information. 
    The stories of anti-gravity usage in flying craft goes back thousands of years to the stories of Vimanas from ancient Indian texts. 
    Nicola Tesla the famous inventor of AC current and other things was involved with anti-gravity as discussed later in this book. 
    There are also a number of aeronautical and space ships which have been built possibly using anti-gravity technologies. These craft are listed and described here too. 
    Finding technological methods of defying gravity will have incredible implications for space travel and fascinating improvements in our already high tech civilization.

    Nothing Special is a book of change, healing, and a true story of horses inspiring spiritual awakenings in the most unexpected ways.  
    You have to be the biggest and best to stand out.  At least, that's what our culture seems to believe.  However, as psychologist Dr. Leia Hughey points out, we are all special and deserving of love, even if we are nothing special.  Through the nonverbal communication with an ordinary horse, she and others were able to reveal unhealed psychic wounds and provide a context for change and transformation.  Just people and horses.  Nothing special, really, but what a difference it made.  A pristine beauty exists slightly beneath the surface of our perception and can be found when love is recognized in the ordinary, enjoying one another for no particular reason.  In Nothing Special, you will see how interpersonal, interspecies interactions changed the world for a handful of people. 
    Narrated by Stan Welsh.

    Dolphin Mysteries - Unlocking...

    Dolphins have fascinated humans for millennia, giving rise to an abundance of stories and myths about them, yet the actual details of their lives in the sea have remained elusive. In this enthralling audiobook, Kathleen M. Dudzinski and Toni Frohoff take us into the dolphins' aquatic world to witness firsthand how they live their lives, communicate, and interact with one another and with other species, including people.  
    Kathleen M. Dudzinski and Toni Frohoff are scientists who have collectively dedicated more than 40 years to studying dolphins below the ocean's surface, frequently through a close-up underwater lens. Drawing on their own experiences and on up-to-the-minute research, the authors show that dolphins are decidedly not just members of a group but distinct individuals, able to communicate with one another and with humans. Dudzinski and Frohoff introduce a new way of looking at, and listening to, the vocabulary of dolphins in the sea, and they even provide an introductory "dolphin dictionary," listing complex social signals that dolphins use to share information among themselves and with people. Unveiling an intimate and scientifically accurate portrait of dolphins, this book will appeal to everyone who has wanted a closer glimpse into the hearts and minds of these amazing creatures.
