Sinopse

“Crystal Skulls” tackles the enduring mystery of these captivating objects, investigating whether they are ancient Mesoamerican relics or more recent creations. The book uniquely combines scientific materials analysis with historical research to challenge popular beliefs about the skulls' origins. For instance, electron microscopy reveals tool marks inconsistent with pre-Columbian technology, and crystallographic studies compare the skulls' structures with known quartz sources. 

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with an overview of the history and associated myths of crystal skulls. It then delves into the scientific techniques used to analyze the skulls, followed by an examination of historical documentation. This approach reveals the likely origins of the skulls to be 19th-century European workshops, reframing them within the context of art history and commercial trade rather than ancient civilizations. The investigation also sheds light on the history of art collecting and the relationship between indigenous communities and European markets.

    Befriending China tells the story of China's current effort to "open up" to a flood of visitors, as part of a campaign of "People-To-People Peacemaking." The story is partially based on three visits to China from late 2023 through late 2024. It describes the impressive achievements China has made in infrastructure, education, health care, and poverty alleviation. It includes an in-depth eye-witness account of visiting Xinjiang, debunking official rumors in the US of abuse of the Uyghur population there. It also highlights exciting tourism opportunities, with closeup looks at the mountainous Guizhou and Shanxi provinces, and the amazing "megacities" of Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing, Hangzhou and Suzhou. It includes a preface by Carlos Martinez, editor of the Friends of Socialist China website. It also examines China's democratic system, and its successful foreign policy based on common prosperity and a shared future. Finally, it details ongoing US efforts to slander China and prepare for war against it, arguing that China is not our enemy.

    Seasons of Sobriety was originally written as a therapeutic outlet during a period filled 
    with darkness. As time went on, however, the writing evolved into something more 
    enlightened. The purpose of this book, which begins with the journey toward addiction 
    and ends with a sober-curious mindset, is to offer encouragement and inspiration, as 
    well as to illustrate through poetry and prose that a powerful potential exists within every 
    person, ready to be awakened. The book is divided into four chapters that represent 
    the seasons of the year (winter, spring, summer, and autumn) because each season 
    represents a different phase of the journey: impulsivity, healing, abundance, and 
    renewal. As you travel through the seasons, you feel the impact of the poetry as it 
    relates to the natural world. The book will start with the darkness of winter but keep 
    reading to find the brilliant colors in autumn. If you are trapped in the dark, the poems in 
    this book will offer tools and thought-provoking ideas to help you find the light.
