Morocco's proximity and the variety of its habitats and bird
species make it a favoured destination for birders. It is home to
rare and endangered species such as Bald Ibis, Dark Chanting
Goshawk, Tawny Eagle, Eleonora's Falcon and African Marsh Owl. 454
species have been recorded, of which 209 breed in the country. As
this statistic implies, millions of West European migrants pass
seasonally through Morocco. Several wetlands spread along the
Atlantic coast are famous for their migrant and wintering waders
and gulls. The Atlas ranges are notable for their avifauna and
desert species, including larks, wheatears and sandgrouses are
found in the Saharan rim. This authoritative book describes over 50
birdwatching sites across Morocco. This book is not a field guide
to species, rather it is a guide to the sites of key ornithological
importance in Morocco. It contains information and detailed maps to
enable you to plan a visit and provide guidance when you are on
your trip. In addition, the book provides an overview of travel in
Morocco, information about climate and habitats, when to go, and a
full checklist of species. This book is a reprint of The Prion
Birdwatchers' Guide to Morocco (2nd Edition, 2003, ISBN:
1871104092).
The Alps, as Professor Bergier shows in this selection of his work,
should not be considered an impassable barrier, nor an isolated
region, but rather as an integral part of the history of Europe.
The lowlanders' typical view of the mountains as fearful heights to
be crossed, and the image of those who lived there as existing in a
delicate balance with nature, are part only of the story. These
articles are particularly concerned with transalpine traffic, and
the different routes it took in response to changing circumstances
in the lands to south and north, and with the exploitation and use
of mountain resources. A number aim also to identify the
particularities of the mountain way of life, and its social and
political organisation.
This book provides readers with in-depth insights into the changes
in the Pantanal wetland from its formation to the actual and likely
future states. It reveals that today's Pantanal is an evolutionary
consequence of geological, ecological and, more recently, man-made
events taking place at distinct space-time intervals. Topics
include geotectonics and sun-earth interactions, which largely
dictate the rate of drastic changes that eventually disrupt
ecological stability and radically rebuild the regional landscape.
Furthermore, the biota-climate system is discussed as a major
driver reshaping the ecohydrology functioning of the landscape on
an intermediate timescale. Also covered are major changes in the
landscape ecohydrology and biodiversity due to recent land-use and
climate changes induced by humankind in the Anthropocene. The
ability to recognize how those temporal scales impact the Pantanal
wetland provides the opportunity for wise management approaches and
the sustainable development of the region.

The groundbreaking and classic study that first popularized
occultism, alchemy, and paranormal phenomena in the 1960s
- Provides profound insights into our perceptions of reality,
telepathy, mutants, and parallel universes
- Reveals the occult influences on the Nazis and introduces the
alchemist Fulcanelli and the work of Charles Fort and Gurdjieff
- Over Half a Million Copies Sold
This groundbreaking, international bestseller, first published in
1960, couples profound insights into the hidden history of humanity
and our perceptions of reality with the scientific evidence that
supports the existence of paranormal activity, telepathy, and
extraterrestrial communications. The first book to explore in depth
the Nazi fascination with the occult, Pauwels and Bergier also
broke new ground with their study of pyramidology, alchemy and its
close kinship with atomic energy, and the possibility of a
widespread mutation of humanity that would herald the dawn of a new
age for the earth. Their study of secret societies, starting with
the Rosicrucians, suggests that such changes are actively being
pursued in the present day by a "conspiracy" of the most
spiritually and intellectually advanced members of the human race.
"The Morning of the Magicians" also explores the anomalous events
collected by Charles Fort, the work of Gurdjieff, and the history
of the mysterious Fulcanelli, who was widely believed to have
manufactured the philosopher's stone--which provided the Nazis the
motive for mounting an intensive search for him during their
occupation of Paris. Much more than a collection of strange facts
defying conventional wisdom, this book remains a sophisticated
philosophical exploration of repressed phenomena and hidden
histories that asks its readers to look at reality with ever
"awakened eyes."
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Western literary
study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope,
Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann
Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.

Sometimes your eyes can play tricks on you, especially in the dark.
This enchanting picture book shows how New York City can look quite
peculiar at night. Each brightly colored spread is overlaid with a
sheet of translucent blue paper and when lifted, voila! A space
ship and Martian become The Guggenheim, a giant serpent is actually
the subway, King Kong's jungle turns into Central Park, and a
superhero takes on the shape of a construction worker. Exhilarating
and captivating, all the scenes are easily switched between day and
night and will take the reader on a unique journey that lets
imaginations run wild while revealing that some things at night
aren't as scary as they seem.
