I love to read Timothy Green Beckley's books late at night, and that goes especially for this one. Each story gets better than the last one! He is one of the most underrated authors of our time. Mr. Beckley ranks right up there with John Keel, and Brad Steiger. His stories about UFO's and their occupants always run chills up my spine! He is one of the few investigators that visits the scene(s) and knows how to report it in a way that that is truly classic. I would love to see him write movie scripts for Science Fiction!

ARE FLYING SAUCERS ON THE ATTACK? I have been interested in the UFO mystery for about twenty years after I had a sighting of my own of three disc shaped objects manovering in the sky above me. Outside of Brad Steiger -- who hasnt written a lot on the subject lately -- my favorite UFO authority has to be Tim Beckley (who edited the popular publication UFO UNIVERSE for l2 years and now edits the Conspiracy Journal on the www). Beckley's works are often thought of being sensationalistic by some of the more conservative members of the UFO community who think its scientific to try and track down lights in the sky...while Beckley is more interested in the weird things UFOs do and who might be on board. Here are some of the strangest stories ever written on UFOs; but TGB does offer some fairly good documentation that these are not hot air balloons. In particular, I liked the story of the giant UFOnauts seen in Brazil; and for those who are familiar with the fact that UFOs have a strange effect on our sources of power, there is able evidence that they might have even caused the massive power blackout along in the East Coast back in the 60s. He even prints several photos taken at the time the lights went out. This is a good read for anyone into the subject.

IF YOUR INTERESTED IN TALES OF ALIEN BEINGS SEEN ON EARTH then this is definitely the book for you!I have been collecing and reading up on UFOs since the days of Keyhoe and Adamski. I've even had a few off beat experiences of my own, but nothing can compare to the accounts Beckley has collected over this more than three decades of interview UFO witnesses.Here are stories the average reader will find hard to believeif you have a bit of skepticism about yourself. The first account in the book -- dubbed the Stranges UFO Case of All Time -- is really fascinating. Its like the two girls who experiences these weird phenomena were traveling THROUGH TIME. UFOs and strange beings seemingly followed them as they drove down a darkened highway through several states...thinking they were loosing their minds.Then there is the vegitable man who attacked a good old boy from West Virginia and left him utterly senseless...and the three women from Kentucky who found the automobile they were driving in actually levitating into the air into a giant circular mothership.This is a book you wont put down until you have read every last account..Oh yeah, there are the shadow beings to contend with and the crawling lights in Oregon that chased an entire family out of their home into the dead of night.Nothing like most other UFO books -- there isnt a boring encounter in here...that I can guarantee!

I'm a middle school teacher who has been reluctant to use computers with my students. After reading the book by Green and Brown, I took the challenge of having my students do computer-based projects. Their book made the entire process so easy! I can't believe I was so hesitant. I highly recommend this book to all K-12 teachers who want to incorporate computer-based projects with their students.

This is a great book for teachers on how to set up multimedia projects with your students. It was well written and provided practical ideas on how to organize projects, manage students, and how to grade the projects. I highly recommend this book for all teachers.

The author of this book did his research well. This book is
not a get rich quick scheme concerning gold, but more like a modern history of gold. It explains where Au comes from, how it's sold, who buys/controls it, why, etc.,etc. Interesting.

To someone who is not aware of how gold comes out to final consumers or the industry, this book will illustrate, in a very interesting and easy-to-read pages, all the non seen facets of the most searched metal on earth. When you get jewellery made out of gold ,you would never guess that recovery plants must move over one ton of rock and material to bring up just a few grams of the precious metal... I strongly recommend this book to people of the jewellery trade and to those who are interested to know more about the strategic world of gold.

THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST FANTASTIC ADVENTURES INTO THE UNKNOWN. . .Until recently, I didnt realize that there was a copy of OTHER VOICES still in print. A collector of Ufo and New Age books -- a good friend of mine -- had told me about reading some of the works of the late researcher George Hunt Williamson. I was familiar with the fact that Williamson was one of the purported witnesses to the famous contact between contactee George Adamski and the space being identified as Orthon in Adamski's FLYING SAUCERS HAVE LANDED book.I was immediately turned on to this volume because I remember over a decade ago I was in North Carolina visiting relatives in the small town of Lumberton when a strange things began to happen. Mysterious voices were being picked up on the radio, tv sets and even over the telephone. The voices was very mechanical soundling -- like a computer (if anyone knew what a computer was back then). The voice always said the same thing -- something about how it was circling over head in a space craft -- and it would be about the same time at night that the voice would start talking, repeating the same thing over and over again.I read an article by editor Timothy Green Beckley that he wrote for the now defunct SAGA magazine, about how even astronauts were hearing such voices on their closely monitored wave bands only open to NASA communications. Who is behind these OTHER VOICES? And what are they really trying to say? Williamson tells his own story matter of factly, and Beckley tries to make the most of what is seemingly happening.Voices talking to us from out of thin air are nothing new. Read LOST JOURNALS OF NIKOLA TESLA and other such volumes if you want background into this type of material. Mediums have been going into trances for decades and speaking in other tongues.Its a fascinating topic and this book hopes to shead some light on this mystery out of time and space.

Since the UFO phenomenon first entered the public imagination in 1947 with pilot Kenneth Arnold's original sighting near Mount Rainier in Washington state, many different forms of contact with the UFOs and their occupants have been claimed by numerous witnesses. However, one frequently overlooked form of communication with the aliens consists primarily of that most simple of methods: voice contact, or "conversation" by means of opening one's mouth and speaking. In "Other Voices," the story of a small group of people and their brave attempt to establish a link with aliens they assumed to be benevolent Space Brothers, the idea of communication by means of the spoken word is explored and produces some surprising results.

"Other Voices" is essentially a reprint of a book entitled "The Saucers Speak," by George Hunt Williamson and Alfred Bailey. Originally published in the 1950s, it still has a great deal of relevance to today's UFO scene. Much of what the authors prophesy has indeed come to pass, and the warning the aliens send about nuclear war and environmental doom is still as urgent as it ever was in spite of the thawing process that the Cold War has undergone in recent years.

Williamson and Bailey, according to Timothy Green Beckley's new and updated introduction, "were ham radio operators who claimed contact with extraterrestrial beings who were continually broadcasting messages to them from spaceships circling in the Earth's uppermost atmosphere. At the time, these authors came under fairly heavy verbal attack as the mere idea that aliens were setting foot on our world seemed a much more remote concept than it might now be considered in this day and age."

Times may not have changed as much as Beckley would hope. Ridicule continues to be the norm for witnesses who come forward with tales of contact with aliens. Even further, Williamson and Bailey are clearly examples of what was called in the 1950s "contactees," a term that today is shunned by even the mainstream UFO community and is understood to mean people on the outer edges of the lunatic fringe.

But "Other Voices" still manages to reach impressive levels of credulity. The authors at one point say that the aliens instruct them to project their own thoughts onto the message to a lesser degree, implying that the human mind tends to cloud the transmission. That looks very much like a telltale realistic detail that separates alien intent from the "psycho-babble" of mere mortals.

At another juncture, the authors say that the young people of their time are beginning to be schooled in the true doctrines of the aliens, receiving a message about peace, love and brotherhood. That statement, first made in the early 1950s, seems uncanny when one recalls the blossoming of the Flower Children in the next decade, armed with their message of pacifism that could conceivably really have come from outer space because it was so alien to the mindset of America's youth prior to those times.

Beckley's introduction also recounts numerous other instances of radios and televisions being jammed with strange voices speaking messages about impending doom, so it is apparent that the phenomenon continues unabated to the present day. While "Other Voices" serves on one level as a refreshing bit of 1950s contactee nostalgia, it also stands the test of time and continues to breathe life into the idea that radio and television voice contact with the Space Brothers may one day be the method by which their existence is finally proven and the deliverance they promise is actually realized.

Discovering the Old Testament: Story and Faith is a colourful college textbook introducing the Old Testament. The layout is similar to Encountering the Old Testament (by Bill T. Arnold et al). Each chapter begins with learning objectives, questions to consider, and key words to understand. Coded side bars cover topics such as "The Apocrypha" and "Modern Translations of the Bible." Each side bar is coded as Interpretive, Theological, Historical, Cultural, or Archaeological. Chapters end with summary statements, questions for reflection, and resources for further study. Numerous photographs are included with a large number drawn from modern Judaism. There is a brief appendix on Jewish history from 331 to 63 B.C.

This 382 page book is very readable and probably appropriate in depth for a college textbook, although in this space cannot go as deep as, say, LaSor, Hubbard and Bush (Old Testament Survey). It is written from a conservative perspective but critical scholarship is presented in abbreviated form. For example, the standard dates for Second and Third Isaiah are presented in a paragraph. There is a general failure to engage such critical issues and the authors present "scholarly opinion" alongside "conservative evangelical" scholarship without always committing to a particular view. So on the authorship of Isaiah they write "There is no unanimous opinion on this issue among conservative evangelical scholars. Some prefer the multiple authorship view. Others view the entire book as the work of Isaiah of the eighth century B.C." (p 293).

Much of the content of the book summarizes the biblical content. New Testament interpretation is mentioned in theological sidebars where relevant and the reader is encouraged to apply theological insights to personal faith.

The majority of the book was written by Alex Varughese who also edited the work as a whole. Varughese and the other three authors are department heads of Christian liberal arts colleges (I do not know who Robert L. Lewis is [named in the ...description]. He is not listed on my copy).

This book will prove a colourful and readable introduction to the Old Testament, especially in terms of biblical content and life application. The numerous illustrations allow the reader to visualise Israel and modern Judaism.

The prophecies of Fatima are almost as well known -- and respected -- as those of the famous French seer Nostradamus.In l9l7 three children had repeated visions of the Virgin Mary in Portugal. They were given prophecies concerning World Wars I and II as well as the world wide spread of communnism. But their third prophecy was not officially released until recently...and there are those who maintain that the real revelations were not disclosed by the church.This book not only reveals what the Third Secret Prophecy of Fatima may consist of; but also gives photographic proof that the Virgin Mary has appeared in over two hundred incidents in the last several decades.Arab terrorists? UFOs? End of the World?The book is very readable and presented in an easy to understand format. It has a good number of pictures and follows a logical order as oppossed to some other books I have TRIED to read on the subject. This is NOT an overly religious approach -- the authors do not seem to have any axe to grind. I recommend this book highly.

This book is an excellent resource that could only be brought to you in the alternative press. The case studies are well written, and the photographs are very helpful. A great book for anyone who needs a good overview of the MIB phenomena.

Being a fan of Wm Shatner and the original Star Trek. I was amazed to find that Shatner not only believed in UFOs -- most SF types arewalking skeptics -- but that he had undergone his own close encounter in which his life had been saved by a strange shape in the sky which lead him out of the desert after his motorcycle had konked out. Being a rock musician myself I was particularly interested in finding out which musicians have had their lives affected by UFOs.Turns out David Bowie used to edit a UFO newsletter when he was a teen (isn't he still one), and that Deep Purple had an alien of some kind actually push its "hands" up against a window. One favorite account was that told by the queen of punk, the late Helen Wheels who along with her brother, Peter, saw a space ship in the sky and Helen says she was even taken onboard. Weird, wild, well written.

I have always been skeptical when it comes to stories of life after death. I mean people claim not only to have seen and engaged in conversations with their husbands or wives, but I read a darn interesting book by Brad Steiger in which he tells of ghostly animals. I mean its not easy for an intelligent person to believe such things at face value. And that was certainly my case until I got a copy of this book. My wife had just passed away in a terrible auto accident and I didnt know what to do. We had been together for thirty five years. Someone gave me a copy of this book by Diane and Tim and told me it would uplift my spirits. I felt like anything would help at this point. So I read the book from cover to cover and there wasnt a dry tear in the house. Its a fascinating subject and here is a fascinating approach. Cause you see the authors dont necessarily look at life after death and heaven from a strictly religious point of view. They believe you kind of create your own heaven passed on your experiences here on earth and that there are cities and towns and things you might not expect to see if you had to float for all eternity on a cloud. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in a more balanced approach to this topic.

There's a lot to like about this book, including the specific techniques used to get past mental obstacles, so musicians can play better and enjoy their playing more. I also enjoyed the encouraging tone it takes with the reader. The authors give you the sense that anyone can make music.

The personal stories that illustrate the book's strategies help you connect more deeply with the material. You may even get a chuckle or two from some of these.

What I get from the book is that we all have inner resources that we've hidden from ourselves, and that we can learn to tap these resources with a bit of work and AWARENESS.

This book could actually help in lots of areas besides making music. If you like motivational books, such as those by Tony Robbins, or books on NLP, this book might actually seem tame in comparison, but still relevant.

This book is a miracle for me. You might have heard of a book called the Inner Game of Tennis. In this book, the author reveals how he vastly improved his tennis skills through the revelation that he was actually playing 2 games: 1) The outer game, i.e. his skills and physical abilities and 2) The inner game, i.e. his mastery over his own psychological and emotional states while practicing and playing.

Well, these principles are not limited to the game of tennis, but wholly applicable to any challenge in life, from playing music to forming good relationships to whatever. Along comes a musician who recognizes this, teams up with the original author and writes a miraculous book for the musicians of the world. I doubt if there are many musicians who could not benefit from the information in this book.

Why should you improve your inner game? The book gives a great example... think of something that is easy for you to play, something you can play well every time. Now picture yourself thrust down onto the stage of Carnegie Hall in front of a packed house that expects you to play something brilliant. Do you think your nerves might get in the way of playing this simple little piece to your potential? If so, then you probably need this book. If not, you are a master already and I wonder why you are wasting your time reading this!

Remember that your skills, no matter what level, are considered part of your "outer game." These skills are particular to you, your physical limitations, your instrument, and your instrument's limitations. This book focuses on the inner game, which is universal. By universal, I mean the inner game is not even specific to music, but applies to any challenge. By using language, stories, and metaphors that are familiar to musicians, the book can help you improve your musical inner game, but there's no reason it should stop there.

The Inner Game of Music does an ingenious job of simplifying the psychology and spirituality of playing music into something practical by putting aside debatable beliefs about ego, id, subconscious, conscious, etc, and focusing simply on whether you are playing your inner game or losing it.

An example from my life... I have been studying with a master jazz guitarist for a couple of years. At times when I practice, I find myself playing a good inner game, very relaxed, playing from the heart, amazed at the notes I hear. I find that when you play a good inner game, you feel more like an observer than a participant. Well, when I sit down with my teacher, I become aware of his mastery. My own nervousness and desire to play well for him quite often cause enough interference to make me play well below my ability. Since reading this book, I have found that more often I can really relax with him, stretch out and really play to the best of my ability, often surprising us both. I find myself coming further in my limited practice time and playing better in unfamiliar situations. It is all about the inner game!

This is the most incredible book ever written on all aspects of music. This is a must read for any musician, regardless of your level. If you are at the top of your career or just starting out this book's techniques can help you in many ways. Barry Green is the master of helping people preform to their best.
