These vehicles saw use with the US Army as well as Allied nations during WWII and well into the 1960s. This book chronicles the development and use of the vehicle from concept to combat. Through dozens of archival photos, many never before published, as well as detailed photographs of some of the finest existent examples of these vehicles, this iconic tank is explored, and its history is explained.

For the first time ever in specialized literature on the subject of UFOs and extraterrestrial beings, this book provides new, substantiated and astounding insight into two basic topics that humankind has been discussing for ages: 1. Planet earth has been visited regularly by space travelers from extrasolar planets. 2. Abductions of human beings into UFOs really happen. Extraterrestrial beings do not involve themselves in Earth's affairs, but rather, conduct themselves as neutral observers of its progress. And, even more surprising, the few cases that we do know of show that they are virtually human beings like us. The metaphysical significance of this finding is therefore immense. Abductions, still basically unknown to the general public, are addressed here using a novel approach. Although the simple premise of this phenomenon has been known for only a few decades, this study shows that its primary feature has been present throughout the history of humankind. For a very long time, men and women have been confronted with non-human beings who physically abused them. Supported by previously overlooked traditional, religious, and spiritual knowledge, this study by Dr. Harran shows that abductions of human beings into UFOs are of an earthly nature and not an extra-terrestrial one. Here again, the philosophical significance of this discovery is enormous. These discoveries, which cast doubt on some of the dominant lines of thinking in this time, were made using a rational, rigorous approach by an author holding a PhD in physics.

Author and photographer Tim Scullion has done what's never been done before: he has researched the world's first study of ghosts through over 22,000 photographs captured in one of the most haunted states in America: Virginia.

Visit the very haunted residences of presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, along with discovering the intriguing, compelling background of each place and person that may explain the photographic evidence. Through historical information and strange and eerie apparitions of all kinds captured on camera, you will see images that are beautiful, and ugly--if not horrifying and bizarre--and simply defy explanation. Digital technology will be our eyes into a new world of the improbable, the unexplained, the impossible, the bizarre, and the biggest mystery of our existence--life after death! Find it in Virginia.

"Chester County, Pennsylvania, is arguably one of the more historic and naturally beautiful places in the United States. This popular photographic treatment of the region has been updated with all new images of scenes such as the Devon Horse Show, the Kennett Square Mushroom Festival, and the Quaker settlement of Nantmeal. While much has changed since colonial days, when its abundant natural resources helped support a nation-to-be, visible reminders of past activities remain intermingled with elements of 21st-century progress and growth. Some of the reminders are simply names, ghosts of times past when travel was slow, crossroads mattered, and distances between activities necessarily were shorter than today. Others, such as buildings, farms, and ruins, are more visible. The 135 color photographs form a memorable journey through the countryside, artfully capturing bits and pieces of its history and giving glimpses of its present-day character."--

This collection of over 140 curated posters by the revolutionary graphic artist Seymour Chwast provides context and insight into not only his five-decade career, but the poster genre itself. Since founding Push Pin Studios alongside Milton Glaser and Edward Sorel in the 1950s, Chwast's posters have been widely celebrated for their combination of subversive style and strong political satire. His caustic humor, graphic hand, and visual commentary cleverly synthesize in a way that is both wry and immediately understandable. Posters are arranged by type--Causes, Commerce, Information, Exhibits, and Lectures--rather than chronology, which, along with the large format, invites readers to engage thematically with the designs. Commentary on each poster makes this a valuable resource for students, educators, historians, and all who appreciate the unique ability of posters to subvert notions of popular culture, politics, and design at once. Essays by Shepard Fairey and Steven Heller contextualize Chwast's impact on 20th-century design.
