UFOs - Myths Conspiracies and...

John B. Alexander

A never-before-heard firsthand account of a government insider's experience on the cutting edge of UFO exploration; includes a new afterword"Forget everything you think you know about UFOs - this insider's account exposes the reality... Packed with top grade information, insightful analysis and fascinating anecdotes, Alexander's interesting and controversial book sets the gold standard for titles on this subject." –Nick Pope, author of Open Skies, Closed Minds"Changes the playing field for both true believers and skeptics alike. Alexander strongly warns, be careful what you wish for when asking for presidential intervention. Success could set the field of ufology back decades." --George Noory, host of Coast to Coast AMWhile still on active duty in the U.S. Army during the 1980s, Colonel John B. Alexander, Ph.D. created an interagency group to explore the controversial topic of UFOs. All members held Top Secret clearance. What they discovered was not at all what was expected. UFOs covers the numerous cases they saw, and answers questions like:• What was really in Hanger 18? • Did a UFO land at Holloman Air Force Base? • What happened at Roswell? • What is Majestic 12? • What is the Aviary? • What does the government know about UFOs? • What has happened with disclosure in other countries? • Has the U.S. reverse engineered a UFO? • Why don't presidents get access to UFO info? UFOs is at once a complete account of Alexander's findings, and a call to action. There are no conspiracy theories here—only hard facts—but they are merely the beginning. Foreword by Jacques F.

Volcanology - The Fiery...

Mike Crawford

Volcanoes have long captured the human imagination, evoking awe and fear in equal measure. These mighty forces of nature, with their explosive eruptions and slow, relentless lava flows, seem to embody the raw power of the Earth itself. For centuries, volcanoes have inspired myths, legends, and scientific curiosity. They are a reminder of the dynamic nature of our planet and the complex forces shaping its surface. From ancient cultures that viewed volcanoes as the homes of gods, to modern scientists who study them to better understand the planet’s inner workings, the fascination with these fiery mountains persists. 
Volcanoes are among the most visible and dramatic expressions of the Earth’s geological processes. They form when molten rock, or magma, from beneath the Earth's crust escapes to the surface, often resulting in the creation of new landforms. This natural phenomenon is not only awe-inspiring but also offers insights into the fundamental processes of plate tectonics and the movement of the Earth’s lithosphere. The eruption of a volcano, whether it’s a gentle release of lava or a violent explosion that sends ash and gas into the atmosphere, can alter the landscape and climate in profound ways.

The Human Planet - How We...

Simon L. Lewis, Mark A. Maslin

An exploration of the Anthropocene and “a relentless reckoning of how we, as a species, got ourselves into the mess we’re in today” (The Wall Street Journal). 
 
Meteorites, mega-volcanoes, and plate tectonics—the old forces of nature—have transformed Earth for millions of years. They are now joined by a new geological force—humans. Our actions have driven Earth into a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. For the first time in our home planet's 4.5-billion-year history a single species is increasingly dictating Earth’s future. 
 
To some the Anthropocene symbolizes a future of superlative control of our environment. To others it is the height of hubris, the illusion of our mastery over nature. Whatever your view, just below the surface of this odd-sounding scientific word—the Anthropocene—is a heady mix of science, philosophy, history, and politics linked to our deepest fears and utopian visions. 
 
Tracing our environmental impacts through time, scientists Simon Lewis and Mark Maslin reveal a new view of human history and a new outlook for the future of humanity in the unstable world we have created.
