Unless they research the subject for themselves, many people do not
realise that the origins and development of the human entity are
largely an unresolved mystery. Before the Author's own research, he
was among them. He found that he also had been subtly indoctrinated
with such remarks 'cousins' and 'relatives' with regard to the apes
and assumed like most others, that all the facts where in. When you
read the work, you will find that this is simply not true. So
begins 'The Human Enigma', a truly epic enquiry into the origins of
our world and the creatures that walk upon. In particular, it
examines the human brain as a uniquely wonderful creation which can
be viewed as a gift from God (or was it the gods?) besides
Darwinian evolution and Biblical creation. This book explores the
fanatic proposition that mankind's rapid development with regard to
the human brain may have been influenced by extra terrestrial
sources. This work refers to, and draws together the previous work
of respected scientists and looks at the future scenarios that the
latest genetic and environmental sciences are pointing towards.

Life is a property of the universe. We may not know how it began
or where else it exists, but we have come to know a great deal
about how it relates to stars, planets, and the larger cosmos. In
clear and compelling terms, this book shows how the emerging field
of astrobiology investigates the nature of life in space. How did
life begin? How common is it? Where do we fit in? These are the
important questions that astrobiology seeks to answer.
A truly interdisciplinary endeavor, astrobiology looks at the
evidence of astronomy, biology, physics, chemistry, and a host of
other fields. A grand narrative emerges, beginning from the
smallest, most common particles yet producing amazing complexity
and order. Lucas Mix is a congenial guide through the depths of
astrobiology, exploring how the presence of planets around other
stars affects our knowledge of our own; how water, carbon, and
electrons interact to form life as we know it; and how the
processes of evolution and entropy act upon every living thing.
This book also reveals that our understanding and our context
are deeply intertwined. It shows how much astrobiology can tell us
about who we are as a planet, as a species, and as individuals.
Popular culture is flourishing again, with a renewed interest in
the ET and UFO phenomena. We are inundated with films, TV
programmes and books, plus many conspiracy theories, dealing with
the phenomena. Governments and security agencies are denying any
interest in the issue, yet releasing masses of documents (mostly
unreadable) after being compelled to, by the Freedom of Information
Act. Such speculation and documentation in ancient writings
suggests that an unearthly presence has been in Earth-space for
many generations. The question of this situation must reach a
culminating point sometime in the near future. This book is
concerned with the cultural shock and social disorientation that
would obviously occur with a sudden appearance en-mass of an alien
race finally revealing themselves to humanity and how the people of
Earth would react.
This is a work that examines the many mysteries and anomalies
regarding our Moon. It has been said that there is no scientific
consensus of opinion regarding the Moon and its origins. A
scientist also stated, By all known cosmic laws the Moon should not
be there. Over 800 lbs of Moon rock have been retrieved that
instead of explaining the Moon and its mysteries, have only
introduced more, and are still being puzzled over. Reports of white
coloured lights have been observed on the Moon and are often seen
moving. They have been recorded in astronomical journals for years.
Structures and symmetrical objects that look like machines have
been seen and photographed and are logged in NASA files and
photographs. UFO's have been seen trailing and preceding Apollo
craft and have been seen in proximity to the moon by all the Apollo
missions. This book deals with them all and also introduces an
interesting speculative theory regarding the possible origins of
our Moon.
