In this compelling tour through the world of anomalous research, Richard Milton makes clear what the scientific establishment takes pains to deny: plenty of hard experimental evidence already exists for such things as cold fusion, paranormal phenomena, bioenergy and the effectiveness of alternative medicine. Because these subjects and those who dare to investigate them are continually denied legitimacy by what can only be called the "paradigm police," the public is led to believe that all claims made about such topics are completely groundless. With humour and an eye for the telling detail, the author describes many instances when the defenders of scientific orthodoxy acted with unscientific rigidity in the face of the evidence. Faraday, Roentgen, Edison and even the Wright Brothers were thought to be charlatans by their contemporaries. Taking the broad view of the way science is done, Milton discusses the forces at work in the marginalisation of unorthodox research and makes the reader wonder if there is not something fundamentally wrong with the way that science is currently being practiced. 

Beyond My Wildest Dreams, diary of a UFO abductee, poignantly captures the range of emotion--from fear to exhilaration--inherent in the UFO abduction phenomenon. Correlating uncannily with the experiences of other abductee/contactees around the world, Kim Carlsberg's thoughtful and committed inquiry into the meaning of the UFO abduction phenomenon is fascinating, and a catalyst for a deep journey within the human psyche that will leave no reader untouched. Carlsberg says "...with each new understanding, more questions are raised than answered...I am but a mere child...tugged by the current of curiosity...dreading the cold of an uncharted abyss".

A young woman shares her personal encounters with extraterrestrial beings and tells a compelling story. The illustrations by internationally acclaimed channel Darryl Anka appeal to the imagination and emphasize the depth of Kim's anguish. Illustrations throughout, 44 in color.

There is a great shift coming in the near future. We can all feel it. But what does it truly herald for the planet we inhabit? Is there reason for concern about the apocalyptic prophecies of the Mayan calendar and is there an underlying physics driving these changes?

How do planetary alignments and astronomical events such as the ones predicted for 2012 affect your consciousness?

And most importantly, what can each of us do to influence this coming shift in both consciousness and physical reality?

New York Times best-selling author ,Mike Bara, examines all these questions and many more in THE CHOICE, which' also' includes:
· Detailed descriptions of a revolutionary new theory of physics that
proves the theory behind The Secret
· How to use your own inner light - the power of your mind and
spirit - to influence the physical world
· How governments the world over are preparing for the coming
decade of change
· How to determine your place in the Next Age

You've probably heard of The Secret. Now it's time to make The Choice.

In this lively and engaging collection of interviews, astronomer, Stephan Martin, talks with some of today's most innovative and cutting-edge thinkers on the nature of the universe and our relationship to it. Scientists, mystics, indigenous elders and cultural creatives all share their unique voices on the nature of reality, the interplay of science and religion, the future of humanity and the role of each person in a mysterious and evolving universe. The interviewees include: Brian Swimme, Fred Alan Wolf, Peter Russell, Bernard Halsch, Richard Tarnas and Barbara Marx Hubbard. Filled with rich insight, dynamic discussion and penetrating wisdom, COSMIC CONVERSATIONS asks the fundamental questions about the universe that many of us have wondered about yet few have explored in-depth, questions such as: · Do time, space and matter really exist? · Can the universe be inside us, outside us or both? · Is the universe alive, conscious and intelligent? · Where are we in the cosmic evolutionary picture? A compelling journey from the farthest reaches of outer space to the innermost realms of the human heart, COSMIC CONVERSATIONS will change the way you look at the universe (and yourself ) forever.

Modern science - and likewise modern culture - likes to celebrate the battle of opposites: good or evil right or wrong. Yet according to scientists Targ and Hurtak this black-and-white worldview makes us feel separate from God and heightens our experience of suffering. In an effort to overcome the perceived polarity of opposites and the accompanying suffering the authors combine the wisdom of the East with the findings of quantum physics and uncover a middle ground that shows opposing sides are really the same.

FLYING SAUCERS AND SCIENCE is a comprehensive look at the scientific data on the flying saucer phenomenon. Nuclear physicist and lecturer Stanton T. Friedman has distilled more than 40 years of research on UFOs and shares his work on a wide variety of classified advanced nuclear and space systems. He answers a number of physics questions in layman's terms, and establishes that travel to nearby stars is within reach without violating the laws of physics.

Photographs of little known, far-out advanced propulsion systems, some of which he worked on, are included. Friedman also presents data demonstrating the ability to withstand high accelerations with some surprising results. He clearly shows that government policy on this subject has been to provide false, misleading claims and disinformation and establishes that the subject truly represents a Cosmic Watergate.

FLYING SAUCERS AND SCIENCE presents intriguing data from a number of large-scale scientific UFO studies that almost no one, especially the noisy negativists, has discussed in detail. It deals with a host of “why” questions, such as reasons for the cover-up, reasons for aliens to come to Earth and reasons for not landing on the White House lawn. Friedman unveils the SETI (Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence) programme and details the antipathy of science-fiction writers to UFOs and other mysteries of the saucer conundrum. False notions about those who believe in the reality of alien visitors and the adequacy of coverage by the journalistic and scientific communities are also reviewed.

In this book you'll discover:
· What type of energy and technologies could provide travel between the stars.
· The most likely locations in the universe where aliens come from.
· Why the aliens are here.
· Who believes in the flying saucer phenomenon.
· The government's motives to cover-up.

Recent developments in theoretical physics including systems theory and chaos theory are challenging long-held mechanistic views of the universe. Many thinkers have speculated that the remnants of an ancient science survive today in mythology and esoteric lore but until now the scientific basis for this belief has remained cloaked in mystery. Paul LaViolette reveals the astonishing parallels between the cutting edge of scientific thought and creation myths from the dawn of civilization. With a scientific sophistication rare among mythologists LaViolette deciphers the forgotten cosmology of ancient lore in a groundbreaking scientific tour de force. In direct non technical language he shows how these myths encode a theory of cosmology in which matter is continually growing from seeds of order that emerge spontaneously from the surrounding sub-quantum chaos. Exposing the contradictions that bedevil the Big Bang theory LaViolette offers both the specialist and the general reader a controversial and highly stimulating critique of prevailing misconceptions about the seldom-questioned superiority of modern science over ancient cosmology. By restoring and reanimating this ancient scientific worldview Genesis of the Cosmos leads us beyond the restrictive metaphors of modern science and into a new science for the 21st century. New paperback edition of Beyond the Big Bang.

Vernadsky(1863-1945) is the highly venerated father of several geo-based disciplines, including geochemistry, biogeochemistry and radio geology. He wrote the first scientific theory about the “biosphere,” the life zone of the Earth and in the process laid the groundwork for planetary thinking. A recognised catalyst, this premier scientific work addresses in detail humanity's impact on the living systems of the planet. GEOCHEMISTRY AND THE BIOSPHERE contains his groundbreaking work on the biosphere and the no sphere, as well as his seminal work on geochemistry. Vernadsky maintains that the biosphere is a thin strata, a separate “geological envelope,” inhabited by living matter, the force of which exerts changes in its physical, chemical and mechanical properties. Moreover, this envelope is permeated by cosmic energy, which works even greater changes. Thus the biosphere, the stage on which changes are played out, will evolve over time. According to Vernadsky, from the biosphere a noösphere - a biosphere influenced by the activity of the human mind - will ultimately emerge. Vernadsky writes, “Mankind's power is connected not with its matter but with its brain, its thoughts and its works, guided by its mind. In the geological history of the biosphere, a great future is opened to Man if he realises it and does not direct his mind and work to self-destruction.”

What can we know about God? God only knows. Is there anything that can give us a glimpse into the nature of God and the world God is allegedly responsible for? Does science help? Can the Bible assist us? Or is this something about which only philosophers can speculate? All our resources are of limited usefulness, but there is some information that investigation can yield.

Of the many ways of thinking about God, three models of divinity stand out: the classical or traditional approach has the most seniority, but that alone does not give it security; the process scheme lies at the opposite extreme, but is too radical for some; and the newest option called "open" or "free-will" theism resides somewhere in the middle. "You can't tell the players without a programme," but with one, a selection might come easier. This book is that programme.

The much-publicised dotcom crash of 2001 meant more than a big loss on Wall Street. That crash along with the music industry's dismantling of Napster signalled the end of true freedom for the average Internet user. According to Jacques Vallee - one who was there as the Internet was taking shape and the author of more than twenty books on technology with more than 2 million books in print - it is exactly that freedom the Internet's original designers and builders intended for us to have. Fuelled by the revolutionary spirit and grassroots optimism of the 1960s and early 70s engineers and dreamers set up the Internet with the hope of connecting not controlling people through information. However when the bubble burst in the spring of 2001 the cash that had been flowing steadily into all types of Internet start-ups suddenly froze allowing much of the Web's collected information to accumulate in the hands of media giants and corporate conglomerates and leaving millions of Net denizens without true freedom of choice. In an age when Information is Power this corporate control comes in the form of data mining and selling of our personal and financial information search engines which sell prime space without telling the user that search results are skewed cookies on our hard drive and many other forms of manipulation. All is not lost though and our freedom can be won back. Vallee offers not only a brief history of the Web but also speculates on how the Web will evolve in the next decade from the Grid to the Mesh. He paints a hopeful vision of the future of the Internet and suggests several personal and public actions we can take to help rebuild the dream.
