"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
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. -- .
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.

Whizz-kid computer programmer Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) tries to hack into the ENCOM computer system, but his efforts are continually frustrated by the Master Control Program.

US Ambassador Robert Thorn (Gregory Peck) is persuaded to substitute a newborn baby whose mother has died in childbirth for his own stillborn son. By the age of five the child, Damien, seems to be exerting a malevolent influence on the Thorn household, suffering a violent fit when he is taken to church and causing his nanny to hang herself. Thorn searches for an answer to his son's behaviour and meets maverick priest Father Brennan (Patrick Troughton), who tries to convince him that Damien is in fact the Antichrist and must be stopped at all costs. The Ambassador at first dismisses this as the crazy rantings of a religious maniac, but subsequent events suggest that maybe the priest had a point.
