The most logical explanation for the UFO phenomenon, and a new take on the Ancient Alien theory: This book explores the possibility that UFOs are not piloted by aliens, but by humans. However, they are not piloted by modern humans, but by remnants of an ancient, advanced civilization that survived the last ice age. This idea might sound ridiculous upon hearing it for the first time, but evidence supports this conclusion. There is more evidence to back up this theory than there is to support the idea that extraterrestrials pilot such craft. "Remnants of a Distant Past" explores this possibility, and provides information about sightings in the famous Bermuda and Pacific Triangles. It also explores the possibility of active underwater cities, advanced ancient civilizations, and the cyclical nature of time. This book offers a new way to interpret existing evidence: a way that might change forever the common view of UFOs and extraterrestrial visitations.

This is the only book that describes how to use Zen and other East Asian practices in order to improve the physical techniques of golf. Japanese martial artists, such as the samurai, trained in Zen in order to control the movements of their bodies. Through such training, they eliminated excess movement, resulting in greater speed and efficiency. Eliminating excess movement also served to increase their consistency. These same practices can be used to play better golf. Applying the concepts of Zen and the martial arts to the game of golf will help players to eliminate extraneous movements, resulting in greater consistency, increased confidence, and overall proficiency. The techniques found in Zen and the Japanese martial arts can also have a profound influence on the mental aspects of golf. If the Samurai Played Golf... combines the philosophical and spiritual teachings of samurai warriors and Zen monks, and interprets them for use by golfers and other athletes. It is the only book that presents East Asian philosophy as a tool that can be used to train both the body and the mind in golf.

Although the mention of mummification immediately brings to mind the ancient Egyptians, the Roman Catholic Church has long used the practice to preserve notable members of its faith. In Italy alone, more than 300 preserved bodies appear on display in churches and cathedrals--the mummified remains of saints, priests, martyrs, and other high-ranking Roman Catholic officials. This study explores the history of Roman Catholic mummification, which continues to this day in the use of New Kingdom Egyptian mummification procedures on popes. It explores various types of mummies, the connections between the Catholic Church and Egyptian religious practices, the treatment of the dead by other faiths, and the veritable cult that has arisen in Italy surrounding the saints whose bodies are preserved. By examining this unusual practice from both scientific and cultural perspectives, this work sheds light on a relatively unstudied aspect of the Roman Catholic faith.
