Science and the UFO's (Hardcover): J Randles Science and the UFO's (Hardcover)
J Randles
R1,209 Discovery Miles 12 090 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The debate about UFO's has raged for as long as people have stared into the heavens. Yet to this day the scientific establishment has steadfastly refused to engage in systematic study of what they are. This book examines why.
Randles and Warrington establish by detailed case histories of many UFO sightings that unexplained phenomena certainly exist. Picking their way expertly through the maze of misinformation and fantasy, they examine the possible explanations, rejecting the 'standard' view- that UFO's are alien spaceships- in favour of more scientifically based and testable ideas. They suggest ways in which scientific standard should be applied and consider the fruits that such enquiries might yield- and the potential consequences for mankind of explaining the hitherto inexplicable.

Conall, trapped in a dangerous land, has his own enemies to defeat before he can hope to escape and join the conflict that threatens his family.

Michele Hanks
R5,071 Discovery Miles 50 710 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Haunted Heritage is a fascinating scholarly examination of the dynamics of ghost or paranormal tourism.

Using York, England, said to be "the most haunted city in the world," as the base for her research, Hanks focuses on three forms of ghost tourism: ghost walks, commercial ghost hunts, and non-profit ghost hunts and paranormal investigations, comparing the experience of York with other sites of ghost tourism globally.
