They Are Real (Paperback): Robert Conners They Are Real (Paperback)
Robert Conners
R264 Discovery Miles 2 640 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Robert Conners' research comes straight from the biblical perspective. His new book highlights how UFO sightings are directly related to the end times deception. Conners' research has been referenced heavily within the Christian community, and has been mentioned in several UFO magazines, as well as, top paranormal radio shows around the world. Conners' conducts a weekly bible study on the UFO movement and how it relates to what the Bible calls the "End Of Days." He believes that the Christian church has a responsibility to study various ideologies to biblical scrutiny. That is, believers should be able to place current trends, movements, and world views under the lens of Scripture. For the most part, apologists have done ample research in a number of areas, but our apologetic opinion should not only include traditional elements (e.g., the cults, etc.), but also more bizarre factors such as UFOs. With this in mind, "They Are Real" is designed to be a thought-provoking resource. The time has come for Christians to offer a Biblically informed and intelligent perspective on this far-reaching phenomenon.

Class, Culture and the Agrarian Myth (Hardcover): Tom Brass Class, Culture and the Agrarian Myth (Hardcover)
Tom Brass
R5,130 Discovery Miles 51 300 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Using examples from different historical contexts, this book examines the relationship between class, nationalism, modernity and the agrarian myth. Essentializing rural identity, traditional culture and quotidian resistance, both aristocratic/plebeian and pastoral/Darwinian forms of agrarian myth discourse inform struggles waged 'from above' and 'from below', surfacing in peasant movements, film and travel writing. Film depictions of royalty, landowner and colonizer as disempowered, 'ordinary' or well-disposed towards 'those below', whose interests they share, underwrite populism and nationalism. Although these ideologies replaced the cosmopolitanism of the Grand Tour, twentieth century travel literature continued to reflect a fear of vanishing rural 'otherness' abroad, combined with the arrival there of the mass tourist, the plebeian from home.

The Pahlavi Widewdad (Videvdad), The Law (Serving to Keep) Demons Away, a fifth-century Middle Persian commentary on the Avestan Videvdad, describes rules and regulations that serve to prevent pollution caused by dead matter, menstrual discharges, and other agents. It recognizes the perpetual presence of the demons, the forces of the Evil Spirit -forces that should be fought through law-abiding conduct. In spite of its formidable textual problems, the commentary provides an invaluable quarry for the rules of the Zoroastrian community through its citation of regulations for the conduct of its members. Many topics are covered, from jurisprudence to penalties, procedures for dealing with pollution, purification, and arrangements for funerals. Viewed together, they provide the reader with an exquisite interlace of a community's concerns.

November 22nd, 2013 marks the 50th Anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy... and at last we have the unbiased facts, concisely-presented by a skilled, acclaimed author who is also a credible voice: an ordained Methodist minister. Dr. Moore presents over 200 source-notes supporting a compelling case that the death of President Kennedy involved more than a "lone nut" assassin. He marshals old and new evidence to prove that there was indeed a second sniper, positioned in front of the Presidential limousine, who fired the fatal head shot. Moore points up scores of glaring contradictions in the government's own Warren Commission Report as he exposes the greatest crime mystery of the last fifty years with riveting, engaging prose. "Finally, a well-written, witty, and factual overview of the case that examines both the big picture and all the important details in the mosaic-without getting lost in a morass of tangential information. This is an important book that clearly demonstrates why the JFK assassination case is still relevant, unsolved, and intriguing.... Not just "Recommended" Highly recommended " -Vince Palamara, author of Survivor's Guilt: The Secret Service and the Failure to Protect President Kennedy

We fear them...revere them...wish we could have them do our bidding...They live in our dreams and haunt our nightmares Dragons and Unicorns...the magical beasties recognized throughout the world. The authors take us beyond folk lore and legend to an invisible realm where such creatures are part of everyday reality... DRAGONS: Few creatures of folklore and mythology conjure up more sinister and magical images than the Dragon. Also known as the firedrake, these mercurial creatures pervade almost every pantheon of classic literature. Said to be larger than elephants, they are generally accept as having bat-like wings, twin horns of varying length, and a fiery breath that can destroy all that comes in their path. UNICORNS: The word "unicorn" is based on the Hebrew world re'em ("horn"), in early versions of the Old Testament translated as "monokeros," meaning "one horn." The Unicorn is mentioned in Greek literature, in India and throughout Europe. . .The strange legends of the Dragon and the Unicorn persist to this very day. Figment of the imagination? Misinterpretation of ordinary creatures? Symbolic of a mystery occult school? Beautifully illustrated, printed on quality paper, this large - 8x11 - format book will peek your interest and keep you entertained for hours as you travel around the world in the present and the past in search of creatures thought to have been made of imagination; but which probably has some basis in a physical reality.

Victorian Bathing and Bathing Suits - The Culture of the Two-Piece Bathing Dress from 1837 - 1901 (Paperback): Deb Salisbury Victorian Bathing and Bathing Suits - The Culture of the Two-Piece Bathing Dress from 1837 - 1901 (Paperback)
Deb Salisbury
R363 Discovery Miles 3 630 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

When I decided to create a new bathing suit pattern, I searched for a modern book documenting Victorian bathing suits. To my surprise, I couldn't find one. Yet I had quite a few period magazines with engravings of bathing dresses in my collection. While I was doing more research, I fell in love with the traditions and ethics surrounding American, English, and French bathing. This book focuses on the culture of swimming and sea bathing across the decades, and on women's bathing suits, noting their styles, variations, and evolution, all quoted from the original writers of that time. For your enjoyment, I've included descriptions and engravings of men's and children's suits when I could find them, but their clothing was not as well documented as the ladies' dresses. The culture and proper dress of bathing changed radically during Queen Victoria's reign, led, of course, by the French. The accepted ladies' one-piece bathing gown gave way to the two-piece bathing suit, and bathing went from a medical treatment to a social event. Even the French bathing dress was not admired in its early days. It was plain, usually black, and, at best, boring. But once fashion got hold of the bathing suit, the dress evolved rapidly. By 1870, many bathing suits were downright gorgeous. Fashion magazines began to include descriptions and engravings on a regular basis, vying to provide the most up-to-date styles. Bathing went from a quick, unpleasant dip in the ocean to true enjoyment, and even swimming became popular. Victorian Bathing and Bathing Suits has over 125 period illustrations. It is intended for costume historians, bathing enthusiasts, Victorian re-enactors, historical writers and history buffs.

DOES "HANGAR 18" CONTAIN WRECKAGE OF A CRASHED UFO AND PRESERVED BODIES OF ALIENS FROM OUTER SPACE?

Access has been denied for over 50 years to even the likes of the late Senator Barry Goldwater, who has said: "I have never gained access to the so-called Blue Room at Wright-Patterson, so I have no idea what is in it. I have no idea who controls the flow of need-to-know information because, frankly, I was told in such an emphatic way that it was none of my business that I've never tried to make it my business since."

EVERY PRESIDENT SINCE TRUMAN HAS BEEN PART OF THE "GRAND DECEPTION" - NOW IS THE TIME TO EXPOSE THE "COSMIC WATERGATE "

Learn the significance of the MAJESTIC 12 and Presidential Briefing Papers and view previously classified CIA, FBI and State Department documents pertaining to this explosive subject - a subject that calls for high-level Congressional hearings. A possible connection has been uncovered in newly declassified documents sent to researchers by "unknown sources" within the Shadow Government. Is there proof that an organization known as the Interplanetary Phenomena Unit is involved in the recovery of extraterrestrial spacecraft and their occupants?

OR IS THIS ALL AN URBAN LEGEND? OR PART OF A NEW WORLD ORDER DISINFORMATION PLOT?

Here are dozens of unpublished Crashed Saucer stories uncovered by the author during the course of his research, including . . .

* The night a UFO came crashing down over an Ohio shopping mall. . . * A bizarre tale of an "alien artifact" uncovered by a jogger and displayed in the lobby of a Florida movie theater before it was mysteriously removed and vanished completely. . . * An unbelievable eye witness account of a UFO that fell inside New York City's bustling Central Park after being shot at by the military. . . * The astounding tale of a UFO pilot who was taken alive from a downed spaceship which rested at the end of an Air Force Base runway in New Jersey. The being later died, . . * Controversial "alien body" photos of an entity known as "Tomato Man," photos which have never been satisfactorily explained. . . * A seemingly documented account of a UFO that came tumbling out of the sky inside the former USSR, an event that was observed by so many that it could not be satisfactorily hushed up even by the Communist regime. . . * A mysterious professor who seemed to have the "inside track" on a real alien autopsy long before a British movie studio faked a similar event. . .

ALSO INCLUDED ARE NUMEROUS DOCUMENTS WHICH APPEAR TO VERIFY ACCOUNTS OF NUTS AND BOLTS SPACE SHIPS FROM OTHER PLANETS.

We are not alone.And we never have been . . .

For years we've been taught that human progress has been a long, slow climb from the primordial ooze to hunter-gatherers to empires. But what if that's only part of the story?

Bestselling author and legendary conspiracy researcher Jim Marrs takes on his biggest subject yet: the history of mankind. Our Occulted History overturns conventional knowledge and beliefs, presenting compelling evidence that the earth once hosted prehistoric civilizations of nonhumans, using technologies that very well may have surpassed our own. From the flying shields reported by the Romans to the mysterious airships of the 1800s and the UFOs of today, Marrs argues that someone other than us is still present on this planet. But are these visitors simply observers--or do they play a much more active and controlling role? Jim Marrs raises this shocking question and more in the provocative and persuasive Our Occulted History.

Updated with recent evidence on JFK's assassination: "The closest we have to that literary chimera, a definitive work on the events in Dallas" (The Boston Globe). "He was holding out his hand . . . He looked puzzled . . . Then he slumped in my lap . . . I kept bending over him saying, 'Jack, Jack, can you hear me? I love you, Jack . . .' The seat was full of blood and red roses . . . ." --Jacqueline Kennedy, recalling the fatal moment in Dallas Fifty years on, most Americans still feel they have not been told the truth about President Kennedy's death. Chief Justice Warren, who chaired the first inquiry, said "some things" that "involve security" might not be released in our lifetime. Millions of pages of assassination records were finally made public in the late 1990s. Yet the CIA is withholding more than a thousand documents under "national security"--until 2017. Why? Why hold these records back if--as we were told half a century ago--Lee Harvey Oswald was a lone assassin? Anthony Summers set out to write a reliable account of the murder mystery that haunts America.Not in Your Lifetime, in this fresh edition, is one of the finest books written on the assassination.

Chapter 1 Excerpt
SLINGSBY is one of a number of villages situated along the southern edge of the vale of Pickering, in the north-riding of Yorkshire and the wapentake of Ryedale. Pickering vale opens on the east towards the sea, and is encircled in other directions by three ranges of hills: (1) The Tabular hills on the north; (2) the Hambleton hills on the west; (3) the Howardian hills on the south. The Tabular hills have their name from their nearly table-like summits. They extend from the coast at Scarboro' westward to Black Hambleton (1309 feet), a tract of country which Arthur Young speaks of as "not having the epithet "black" given to it for nothing, for it is a continual range of black moors." At this point the high ground curves round to the south, forming the lofty plateau of the Hambleton hills--a name somewhat fancifully derived by Eugene Aram in his projected lexicon from ""hemel"" and ""don,"" signifying the "heavenly mountain"; and given, he adds, to these hills, "not from their elevation, but from their figure to the eye, which is that of half a globe with the convexity upwards." The Howardian hills, the least elevated of the three ranges, extend from Gilling to Malton, and are called after the family of Howard, whose seat is in their neighbourhood. They seem to have been without a name until Marshall in his "Rural Economy of Yorkshire," written in 1796, so christened them (vol. i p. 12).
A spur of the Hambleton range, called Cauklass Bank, runs into the western portion of the vale of Pickering, dividing it in this part into Ryedale, on the north, called after the river Rye; and Mowbray vale on the south, called after the famous house of Mowbray. The vale of Mowbray, however, is not confined to this part of the vale of Pickering, but extends through the gap, which at Gilling and Coxwold divides the Hambleton from the Howardian hills into the north-eastern portion of the vale of York, as far north as the border of Cleveland; for the Mowbrays had possessions in all this region, their chief seat being at Tresch ("i.e." Thirsk), where they had a castle.

Mortal Error - The Shot That Killed JFK (Paperback): Bonar Menninger Mortal Error - The Shot That Killed JFK (Paperback)
Bonar Menninger
R536 Discovery Miles 5 360 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

In 1967, a Baltimore man named Howard Donahue began investigating the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Like countless Americans, Donahue was fascinated by the events in Dallas. But what separated him from other amateur sleuths, and even the Warren Commission experts, was a lifetime's experience with guns and ballistics. In Mortal Error, Bonar Menninger chronicles Donahue's twenty-five-year investigation of President Kennedy's death and the stunning revelation it led him to. In crisp, rapid-fire prose, Menninger relates one of the greatest true-life detective stories ever told. More important, he offers solutions to questions that have haunted America for 50 years.
