The day the towers fell, indelible images of plummeting rubble, fire, and falling bodies were imprinted in the memories of people around the world. Images that were caught in the media loop after the disaster and coverage of the attack, its aftermath, and the wars that followed reflected a pervasive tendency to treat these tragic events as spectacle. Though the collapse of the World Trade Center was "the most photographed disaster in history," it failed to yield a single noteworthy image of carnage. Thomas Stubblefield argues that the absence within these spectacular images is the paradox of 9/11 visual culture, which foregrounds the visual experience as it obscures the event in absence, erasure, and invisibility. From the spectral presence of the Tribute in Light to Art Spiegelman's nearly blank New Yorker cover, and from the elimination of the Twin Towers from television shows and films to the monumental cavities of Michael Arad's 9/11 memorial, the void became the visual shorthand for the incident. By examining configurations of invisibility and erasure across the media of photography, film, monuments, graphic novels, and digital representation, Stubblefield interprets the post-9/11 presence of absence as the reaffirmation of national identity that implicitly laid the groundwork for the impending invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.

The journey and the experience. Life as we know it, and the world around us, continue to inspire an incredible amount of questions even after thousands of years of technical innovation. Discovering answers to those questions sometimes completely alter the understanding of who we are spiritually, where we came from, and what our future holds. From building amazingly complex structures to exploring personal enlightenment, unanswered questions are capable of motivating the most astonishing feats ever known to mankind. Throughout a lifetime we are faced with moments that forever change us. In those moments we are given the opportunity to persevere; to adapt and overcome those obstacles placed before us. Contained within is a compelling, personal journey of clairvoyance experienced by the author, J.C. Vintner, in a transcendent rite of passage. The experience forever changed how Vintner understands mankind's place in the universe and prompted an extensive, ongoing research effort to explain the unexplained by means of relation and relativity. Along with Vintner's experience is the complete three volume ancient mysteries series including Ancient Earth Mysteries, Mysteries of the Universe, and Legendary Cryptids, expanded with additional research articles and notes. By opening pathways deep within the mind, expanding our perception of knowledge, and accepting alternative explanations to our existence, we may begin to recognize the ultimate beauty of our reality and the cosmos. Ancient World Mysteries explores these pathways by tapping into the knowledge of our ancient ancestors in search of a hidden truth able to explain our existence as one with the universe.

ARE A GROUP OF EXTRATERRESTRIALS KNOWN AS "THE GUARDIANS" HERE TO SAVE HUMANKIND IN THE EVENT OF A GLOBAL DISASTER?

THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT "THEY" HAVE INFLUENCED THE HUMAN RACE SINCE THE EARLIEST BEGINNINGS OF HUMANKIND ON EARTH.

SOME SAY THEY HAVE MANIPULATED OUR BODIES, MINDS AND SOULS TO THEIR ADVANTAGE.

THERE IS A WIDESPREAD BELIEF THAT THEY ARE OUR MORTAL ENEMIES, WHILE OTHERS CONTEND THEY ARE HERE TO ASSIST IN OUR SALVATION.

THE BIG QUESTION REMAINS. . .

ARE THEY FRIEND OR FOE?

We often hear about animal mutilations, horrifying alien abductions and even sadistic experiments being conducted in vast underground tunnels and chambers. But are we dismissing evidence that at least some of The Visitors are our Space-Guarding Big Brothers who could be operating in our atmosphere as a UFO Rescue Squad to save the multitudes in the case of extreme danger?

Recently, the Russian news media ran a story about a large meteorite that hurtled its way over that nation, but before it could do severe damage - and cause possible loss of life - it was hit by a UFO, causing it to explode and shatter over the Urals. The Siberian Times headline shouted: "WE WERE SAVED BY A UFO " and video clips posted on You Tube seem to verify the fact that this giant space rock was literally blasted into oblivion by unknown forces from the cosmos.

Similarly, in the skies over Turkey, an incident was witnessed by six Turkish airline crews who swear they saw a UFO fleet made up of 10 to 15 craft level a massive meteorite that could have created havoc if it had reached a populated area. Remember the object that exploded over Tunguska, Siberia, in 1918, eradicating over 50 square miles of forest and settlements like a nuclear bomb had exploded?

Are The Guardians subtly warning us that Earth is possibly on a collision course with the mysterious sphere known as Planet X? Or perhaps a massive meteor bombardment? An asteroid strike? Or even a nuclear attack?

Scholar Immanuel Velikovsky stated that the Earth had been severely damaged several times throughout history when huge objects propelled through space collided with or came in close proximity to the planet. He was ostracized by scientists who suppressed his findings. There is evidence that some researchers today have been murdered because they wanted to tell the world about the approach of Planet X and how it could conceivably wipe out all life on the Earth should it be sucked into our atmosphere by the Earth's gravitational pull. This book gives you all the FACTS and tells the reader how to survive these dramatically CHANGING TIMES

The mother of all conspiracy theories is about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Many of its elements have become part of American folklore: the single bullet, the Grassy Knoll shooter, and the mysterious deaths of interested parties. JFK Assassination Logic shows how to approach such conspiracy claims. Studying Lee Harvey Oswald's character and personality, for example, doesn't help determine whether he alone shot the president, and our opinion of bureaucrats can often cloud our judgments. How people view the JFK assassination can be a model for how to (or perhaps how not to) evaluate other conspiracy theories, including those generally considered dubious-such as President Roosevelt's foreknowledge of Pearl Harbor, desert staging of the 1969 moon landing, and U.S. government involvement in 9/11-as well as those based on fact, such as Watergate. John McAdams addresses not only conspiracy theories, but also how to think, reason, and judge the evidence in these cases. How do we evaluate eyewitness testimony? How can there be"too much evidence" of a conspiracy? How do we determine whether suspicious people are really culpable? By putting the JFK assassination under the microscope, McAdams provides a blueprint for understanding how conspiracy theories arise and how to judge the evidence. This book puts the reader into a mass of contradictory evidence and presents an intriguing puzzle to be solved. The solution, in each case, involves using intellectual tools. Eyewitness testimony, the notion of"coincidence," selectivity in the use of evidence, how to choose between contradictory pieces of evidence, the need for evidence to fit a coherent theory, how government works, and basic principles of social theorizing-all provide the elements of how to judge not only the JFK conspiracy but all conspiracies.

In contemporary pop culture, the pursuits regarded as the most frivolous are typically understood to be more feminine in nature than masculine. This collection illustrates how ideas of the popular and the feminine were assumed to be equally naturally intertwined in the eighteenth century, and the ways in which that association facilitates the ongoing trivialization of both.

Top scholars in eighteenth-century studies examine the significance of the parallel devaluations of women's culture and popular culture by looking at theatres and actresses; novels, magazines, and cookbooks; and populist politics, dress, and portraiture. They also assess how eighteenth-century women have been re-imagined in contemporary historical fiction, films, and television, from the works of award-winner Beryl Bainbridge to Darcymania and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. By reconsidering the cultural and social practices of eighteenth-century women, this fascinating volume reclaims the ostensibly trivial as a substantive cultural contribution.
