    av Oscar F Ortiz
    215

    No se pierda esta trepidante aventura del agente Delta, donde el autor nos da un interesante recorrido histórico que abarca desde el Washington político de hoy hasta la batalla entre rusos y norteamericanos por adueñarse de los mejores cerebros científicos que engendró la formidable maquinaria bélica en la Alemania nazi, al disolverse el Tercer Reich. ¿Han escuchado antes sobre la Operación Paperclip, o su equivalente soviético? ¡Entérese cómo empezó todo! ¿Qué suscitó esa feroz carrera armamentista que enfrentaría a la URSS con los Estados Unidos de América en una larga y cruenta 'guerra fría' que ha durado ya casi ochenta años, a pesar de haber sido aliados contra Hitler durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial? ¿Qué fue lo que verdaderamente sucedió en un apartado rancho de Roswell, Nuevo México, en 1947 durante la administración del presidente Harry Truman? ¿Es posible que la historia se haya repetido 27 años después en Santiago de Coyame, un pequeño pueblo del estado mexicano de Chihuahua? Siga al agente Delta en un vertiginoso panegírico que abarca desde los corredores del poder en la mismísima Casa Blanca hasta los caseríos del sur de Baja California, donde platillos voladores asesinos han atacado a los turistas y la fauna marina en el Arco de Cabo San Lucas ha desaparecido misteriosamente... ¡Nadie sabe por qué!

  • - A Brief and Concise Guide to Understanding the Old Testament
    av Charles Craig Lantz
    169

    This brief and concise study of the Old Testament will cover, systematically, the history of the ancient world out of which our thirty-nine books of the Old Testament emerge. This Old Testament introduction deals with matters of language, customs, historical situations, persons, places, and events alluded to in the various books of the Bible. This examination will deal specifically with the Hebrew and Aramaic languages - the study of these languages will help one understand the Biblical meaning of these words in their context. This Biblical survey will examine the history of the Hebrew people, their pagan surroundings, and the religion and culture of the other non-Hebrew people groups. This survey will investigate the authorship of several books in the Old Testament Canon, because, the authorship reflects and relates to the reliability of the ancient text. This concise guide will examine the dates of some books of the Old Testament since the dates will clue us in on the cultural issues at that time related to the people of God. This survey will investigate the specific historical settings in which the authors spoke on God's behalf. Also, this examination of the Old Testament, will cover some facts about Textual Criticism. This methodology of recovering the Old Testament text to its pure original form, helps erase many transcription errors that have crept into our ancient texts. In addition to this, and lastly, this brief and concise study will look at the history of the transmission of the texts. We will investigate the way the original autographs were copied into other languages and various manuscripts families. Although by no means an exhaustive investigation, this survey will give one a brief and concise understanding of our Old Testament Bible.

    Human or not, Jason1 may be just the right software to save the world. He's about to find out. Everyone thought the terrorist had completely destroyed the space station where the first faster-than-light spaceship was built. Actually, the survivors were implemented as softlife in the computers, and years later they and their virtual descendants live in a thriving but isolated community. Jason1, one of the few who used to be flesh and blood, doubts that this incorporeal existence really qualifies as life. But Iooi, a young native softlife, considers her kind an evolutionary step beyond biology, and three-dimensional space an annoying abstraction. A spaceship arrives, and the two of them stow away in its computer, intending to establish ties with the rest of humanity. But the ship's crew is evasive about why they came and what their plans are. And the experimental spacecraft, lost since the attack on the space station, has returned, carrying an unexpected threat the softlife may be uniquely qualified to fight. Working with other softlife, an old friend, and the intimidating Space Force general Heather Lacey, Jason1 must take on terrorists, truly malicious software, and his own self-doubts.

  • - Dynamics of an Isotropic Non-Linear Elastic Continuum
    av Robert K Masse
    105

    Space-Time: Dynamics of an Isotropic Non-Linear Elastic Continuum examines a theory of space-time proceeding naturally from the basic precepts of General Relativity. Abandoning the notion of matter inhabiting and bending a surrounding space-time continuum in favor of a system comprising instead only of the continuum, all phenomena (including apparent matter) are represented as localized states, or fields, within the continuum. Postulated symmetry and uniformity are shown to yield a simple dynamic governing equation which can be demonstrated to enforce interactions resembling the known physical laws between particle-like continuum states bearing charge-to-mass properties in alignment with the periodic table. Readers well-versed in continuum mechanics will be most suited to the text. Conversely, only a general understanding of General Relativity will be necessary, although greater proficiency will profit greater perspective.

  • - The History of America's Most Famous UFO Incident
    av Marshall Whitehurst
    148,-

    *Includes pictures *Discusses the facts, the official account, and the conspiracy theories *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading *Includes a table of contents "The many rumors regarding the flying disc became a reality yesterday when the intelligence office of the 509th Bomb group of the Eighth Air Force, Roswell Army Air Field, was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disc through the cooperation of one of the local ranchers and the sheriff's office of Chaves County. The flying object landed on a ranch near Roswell sometime last week. Not having phone facilities, the rancher stored the disc until such time as he was able to contact the sheriff's office, who in turn notified Maj. Jesse A. Marcel of the 509th Bomb Group Intelligence Office. Action was immediately taken and the disc was picked up at the rancher's home. It was inspected at the Roswell Army Air Field and subsequently loaned by Major Marcel to higher headquarters." - A press release issued by the Roswell Army Air Field, July 8, 1947 Few things in American history are as controversial as Roswell. The one undeniable fact is that something happened near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947, but beyond that, the facts become murky as memories and evidence lose their luster over the years. That said, the impact of an unidentified object continues to mystify residents, visitors and the curious, and it has not only put Roswell on the map but has kept it there for thousands of tourists. While much of the information disseminated has been in the form of press releases published in newspapers, the FBI eventually relented and released their records involving the Roswell crash. In 2011, more than 2,000 individual documents about this event were scanned and published as the digital project "The Vault," part of nearly 7,000 items on various subjects in the Freedom of Information Act's Library. Nonetheless, skepticism about the official version of the incident prevails, and a countless number of people continue to believe the American government covered up a crash landing by aliens. As John B. Alexander, Ph. D., a former project manager at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and consultant to the CIA, put it, "Attempting to come to any complete resolution of the incident is a fool's errand, as whatever the truth may have been has become so distorted over time that facts have merged inextricably with fiction." But fools did abound. The FBI, and anyone else who might have archived top secret memos, reports or even newspaper clippings, were barraged for years with Freedom of Information requests. When the FBI finally complied with thousands and thousands of pages freely disseminated online, they were still accused of withholding or altering the facts. Roswell: The History of America's Most Famous UFO Incident chronicles the controversial crash. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Roswell like never before, in no time at all.

The second brief article compares the thoughts and ideas of Gregory Palamas (Eastern Orthodox monk and later an Archbishop) on the subject of God with that of other philosophers.

  • - Historia de la Masonería, la más famosa de las sociedades secretas
     
    148,-

    Durante décadas, las parodias sobre los cultos siniestros y misteriosos han sido parte de los chistes favoritos de la cultura pop. Las fraternidades han sido ubicadas con frecuencia en ciertas guaridas subterráneas, vestidos con extravagantes hábitos ceremoniales y con la cara oculta por capuchas, sentados alrededor de una mesa larga llena de cálices horrendos, calaveras y brillantes tesoros tenebrosos. Desde un punto de vista más enfermizo, se pueden ver unas imágenes entrecortadas y destellantes de sangre, torturas y sacrificios. Como en todo arte, la creatividad es desencadenada por una fuente de inspiración, y una de las musas más ampliamente reconocidas de esta clase de escenas no es otra que los masones. Esta antigua sociedad, descendiente de la antigua cultura de la albañilería, se cree que conoce las más profundas, oscuras e inexplicables verdades del universo. Supuestamente poseen poderes místicos-y aún mágicos-como nadie más. Pero, ¿tiene alguna validez esta estigmatización de la fraternidad o es que simplemente han sido terriblemente incomprendidos? Como saben muchos, los masones han existido por siglos. El Renacimiento, que llegó a su máximo esplendor entre los siglos 14 y 16, vio un estallido de creatividad y de progreso en una variedad de formas de arte a través de Europa. El gremio de los albañiles experimentó cambios; los aprendices no se veían ya restringidos por el comercio. Una gran porción de esos aprendices eran artistas y librepensadores, pero seguían prometiendo adherencia a la tradicional cultura albañil. La nueva clase de albañiles se apartó de la albañilería "operativa" ortodoxa, y empezó a promover lo que se conoció como la albañilería "especulativa." Como la mayoría de las leyendas, todavía se discuten hoy en día los orígenes de la Masonería. La más antigua mención de la sociedad se remonta al Manuscrito Hallwell, o Poema Regio que supuestamente fue escrito entre finales del siglo 14 y principios del 15. El manuscrito, en exquisita caligrafía y en inglés antiguo, tenía 64 páginas y 794 versos. Es considerado el primero de los tradicionales manuscritos masónicos y es generalmente aceptado como la "verdadera" historia de los comienzos de la fraternidad. El poema empieza con Euclides, matemático griego del siglo 4° A.C., recordado hoy en día como "el padre de la geometría." Se dice que el genio matemático incorporó la geometría a un nuevo campo que él denominó "albañilería." Con esta nueva y refinada rama científica, viajó a Egipto y transmitió sus conocimientos a los hijos de los nobles egipcios. Cualesquiera que hayan sido los orígenes de la organización, el fenómeno incipiente se transformaría un día en la Sociedad de la Masonería, portadora de secretos divinos como ninguna otra, y una de las fraternidades más fascinantes y controvertidas en la historia de la humanidad. Los masones: Historia de la Masonería, la más famosa de las sociedades secretas, examina los orígenes y la historia de la polémica hermandad, su expansión a través del globo, y algunas de las más asombrosas teorías conspirativas que han rodeado a la sociedad hasta nuestros días. Junto con fotos de gente importante, de lugares y de eventos, usted aprenderá acerca de los Masones como nunca antes.

    Have you ever wondered what Disney World would be like if it were centered on Jesus instead of cartoon characters? Would it be a good thing? Or would there just be as much fantasy as any other theme park run by robotics and remote controls? Is it OK to make Jesus and his message more "entertaining" if people are converted in the process? Or is it better to simply follow the pattern of his life and his lifestyle, and make not just converts, but true disciples? Jesus World, a novel, is a fictional study of the differences between high profile Christianity, riddled with compromise yet justified by countless conversions, and simple Jesus-like discipleship. Can both exist side-by-side? Or will one overtake the other, in the name of God?
