"An American Family" is about the Warner family of Philadelphia's Blockley Township. R. David Warner Sr., the author, is qualified to write this book because he and his father are the twelfth and thirteenth generation of a family which settled on the shores of the Schuylkill River five years before William Penn laid out the city. Before his death in 1992, the author's father wrote a series of letters containing the stories told to him as a child in the early twentieth century. He researched the public records of both the Historical Societies and the Quaker Meetinghouse to build upon the actual accounts of his family members. He spent the last twenty years of his life collecting this historical information.

In the mid-nineteenth century, the author's great-grandfather began building on the names and facts about family members. The information he gathered was also used to write this book. Actual letters written from the foxholes of the civil war are typical of the documents used to complete this book. Our past can only be retrieved from what we remember and from the historical records that have been kept. Without memories and without records, we have no personal history

In the original Karate Kid movie, Daniel-San famously learns "wax on, wax off" before he understands what it really means and how it is really teaching him an ancient martial art. This is a perfect example of the concept known as "the esoteric" -- waxing the car was a way to teach something else, a so-called "hidden (or esoteric) meaning" that lies behind the action of wax on and wax off. Mr. Miyagi did not select this teaching method in order to deceive Danny -- he taught it that way because he knew it was the BEST way to reach his student and help Danny (even though Danny didn't understand it at first). The Undying Stars demonstrates that the ancient scriptures of the world operate in exactly the same way -- they are all a form of "wax on, wax off" which contain an amazing esoteric message that is "hidden" inside. This includes the stories of the gods of ancient Greece, of ancient Egypt, of ancient India, of the Norse, of the Hawaiians and the Maori and the Maya and the Inca and the Native American tribes and nations and of almost every other culture around the world -- and it also includes the stories found in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. The masters who created these stories were not trying to deceive us, any more than Mr. Miyagi was trying to deceive Daniel-San, and they were not trying to keep these truths "hidden" so that nobody could ever learn them: they intended the ancient scriptures to lead men and women to consciousness and to awareness of the truth about the human condition. But something terrible happened along the way: for reasons of their own, a powerful group decided to suppress the esoteric understanding of the Bible and replace it with a strictly literalist interpretation: in other words, they silenced everyone who was teaching Daniel-San how to "do karate" using "wax on, wax off," and they got everyone to focus on waxing cars instead, as if that was what the scriptures were all about. The Undying Stars explores the evidence that the world's ancient sacred traditions -- including the Old and New Testaments -- are esoteric in nature, intended to teach something as amazing as the system of karate that was hidden in the act of waxing the car. It clearly shows the system of extracting the esoteric meaning from the mythological stories, using over seventy illustrations. It then discusses the amazing "shamanic and holographic" teaching of that ancient "karate system," and how it anticipates modern quantum physics by thousands of years, and how it may help explain the incredible accomplishments of ancient lost civilizations, accomplishments we still cannot fully explain today. Finally, it shows how a group of families during the Roman Empire conspired to steal the esoteric teaching from humanity, and get everyone focused on "waxing the car," while keeping the ability to "do karate" for themselves It also shows that the descendants of these families are still "doing karate" today, and getting away with it, because most of the world only knows how to wax the car without understanding the meaning behind the motions.

The Chronicon of Thietmar of Merseburg has long been recognised as one of the most important sources for the history of the tenth and early eleventh centuries, especially for the history of the Ottonian Empire. Thietmar's testimony also has special value because of his geographical location, in eastern Saxony, on the boundary between German and Slavic cultures. He is arguably the single most important witness to the early history of Poland, and his detailed descriptions of Slavic folklore are the earliest on record. This is a very important source in the medieval period, translated here in its entirety for the first time. It relates to an area of medieval studies generally dominated by German scholars, in which Anglo-phone scholars are beginning to make a substantial contribution. -- .

Brian Close is a true sporting icon: schoolboy cricket and football prodigy, youngest ever England selection, played for England in 22 Tests over four successive decades, best win ratio of any England captain ever, unfairly sacked by Yorkshire (about which the protests of Yorkshire supporters are heard even now), loved a flutter on the horses, hair-raising driver and, through it all, the most likeable and popular of men. It was not until after Brian Close's death in September 2015 that either David Warner or Ron Deaton - or anyone else for that matter - had even the remotest idea that the subject matter for this book ever existed. Only when the scores of letters which Brian wrote in the early stages of his career to lifelong friend, John Anderson, surfaced did it become apparent that they were of major historical significance in highlighting in great detail the day-to-day events of one of cricket's best known personalities. To many, they will also be of geographical interest as the letters and their envelopes show exactly which hotels he stayed in while playing first-class cricket in this country and in Australia and Pakistan. The details contained in them are a graphic reminder of just how gifted a sportsman Brian was, not only on a cricket field but when participating in a multitude of other sports including soccer (on the books of Leeds United, Arsenal and Bradford City),golf, boxing, swimming and shooting to name but a few. It is over 70 years since the first letters to John Anderson were penned and it is extraordinary that they and all of the rest have survived the passage of time. A remarkable set of circumstances led to them being seen by Warner and Deaton and their astonishment upon sifting through them was all the greater because there had never even been the slightest suggestion that letter writing formed any part of Brian's make-up. The letters, the autograph books which he filled on John's behalf, and the other memorabilia contained within these pages are part of a much wider collection which is now in the hands of the Yorkshire Cricket Foundation. The material selected for this book will surprise and enthral readers..

Uncover the spiritual cosmology of the ancients Virtually all the world's sacred traditions are built upon a common esoteric system of celestial allegory. In The Undying Stars, you will see how that system works, and why the ancients thought it was so important. You will find evidence that the message that these esoteric myths were intended to convey includes a shamanic-holographic worldview of tremendous sophistication . . . and profound significance. A worldview which anticipated quantum physics by many thousands of years. And you will encounter evidence that this ancient wisdom was deliberately suppressed by forces who took over the Roman Empire and then launched a violent campaign to eradicate the ancient esoteric system, first in Europe and then in the rest of the world . . .

Mathisen, David Warner. "The Mathisen Corollary: Connecting a Global Flood with the Mysteries of Mankind's Ancient Past." Examines the geological evidence that the earth experienced a global catastrophic flood and uses a specific flood theory to investigate numerous mysteries of human history, such as the presence of advanced astronomical knowledge in Egyptian, Sumerian, Babylonian and Greek mythology and the possibility that ancient civilizations understood sophisticated mathematical concepts such as phi, that they knew the size and shape of the earth, and that they could and did cross the oceans regularly long before conventional history admits was possible. Presents arguments for ancient cultural contact between continents using mythology and archaeology, as well as evidence from human remains. Demonstrates ways in which the geological evidence of a catastrophic flood explains historical mysteries, and how the human historical evidence bolsters the geological theory of a catastrophic global flood.
