LA BÚSQUEDA HA CONCLUIDO Muchos de nosotros vivimos vidas anteriores como guardianes de conocimientos sagrados, que eran enseñados en escuelas secretas. Mucho de este conocimiento se perdió con el paso del tiempo debi- do a desastres, destrucción o muerte. El conocimiento era reservado para unos pocos escogidos que dedicaban sus vidas para su compren- sión y enseñanza. Normalmente, tenían que vivir recluidos en zonas aisladas, porque la posesión de tal conocimiento ponía sus vidas en peligro. Muchos fueron asesinados por ello, porque aquellos en el po- der a menudo tenían temor de cualquier cosa que no comprendían. A través del uso de la hipnosis y la reencarnación, este libro enumera muchas vidas en las cuales dichas personas tenían tal conocimiento y sabiduría. Ahora es el momento de que regrese a cualquiera que esté preparado para recibirlo y comprenderlo. Alguno de los contenidos del libro: Isis y la gente de la máquina Restaurando la sanación ancestral Color y sonidoOrbes de información Los cráneos de cristalLemuria, La Atlántida y Pompeya Ocultando las enseñanzas de Jesús
"This book examines some of the major literary voices from the past century who deepened our understanding of the Eucharist by embedding it in their short stories, novels, memoirs, and spiritual writings. The voices within these pages give witness to the abiding yet ever elusive presence of the God who calls himself, "Emmanuel, which means, God with us" (Mt 1:23)"--
An engrossing biography of Emma, Lady Hamilton, and her great love affair with Lord Nelson. Perfect for readers of Flora Fraser, Norah Lofts and Kate Williams. Emma Hamilton was one of the most celebrated women of the Georgian age. Yet her love affair with England's great naval hero, Horatio Nelson, scandalised a nation. But what was Emma really like? Who was the woman behind the myth, the legends, the gossip of so many of her contemporaries and her later detractors? In this outstanding biography Mollie Hardwick presents for the first time the full story of Emma with compassion and insight. She emerges as an amazing and remarkable person. From humble origins she rose to become one of the beauties of her age, a talented singer, a natural actress, the friend of aristocrats and politicians, the wife of a distinguished diplomat, the theme of poets and painters. She captivated almost everyone she encountered, yet her previous relationships paled in comparison with her passion for Lord Nelson, and his for her. Though both were married, they secretly carried on an affair that lasted until the day of Nelson's death, from which Emma never truly recovered. After his death she struggled for financial recognition and ultimately died in poverty, alone but for her daughter Horatia. Many of the letters quoted here have never been reproduced before and contribute valuable new evidence. Mollie Hardwick has travelled across Europe in the steps of her heroine and Emma is shown to the reader in a completely new light. Emma, Lady Hamilton reveals the woman behind the misrepresentation and reveals what drove this extraordinary woman through her tumultuous life. 'One of the best, well-researched books on Emma' - Emma Hamilton Society'thoroughly recommended' - Oliver Warner
An enthralling examination on the impact that military intelligence had on the Second World War at sea. Perfect for readers of John Keegan, Max Hastings and Ian W. Toll. How was the work of Alan Turing and other men and women at Bletchley Park used to influence naval strategies and shape the course of the war? And how did they use the information without alerting the Axis powers that their codes had been broken? Shining a light on information that was previously kept secret from public view, Winton's book assesses the impact of ULTRA and how the breaking of Enigma codes shaped Allied antisubmarine warfare in the Atlantic, convoy defence in the Arctic, amphibious assaults in the Mediterranean and attacks on heavy German naval vessels like Tirpitz. 'This is a very good book; well researched, well written and well up the pecking order.' The Naval Review 'Altogether an interesting book which gives such a fascinating new perspective to events that one wonders why it has not been written before!' Seascape International Maritime Magazine 'Ultra affected almost every operation against the Germans at sea and hence this book is almost a complete history of the war at sea.' Journal of Naval Science '... an excellent detailed examination of the practical application of Ultra intelligence in the war at sea' Cryptologia 'Until recently, no author has examined the impact of how ULTRA was used to win the battle for the Atlantic and adjacent waters. John Winton's ULTRA at Sea addresses this imbalance.' Military Review 'Whether we like it or not, the Ultra story is a prickly one, and is at least changing the tones of the well-established picture we have of the Second World War.' Navy News

The People of Traenah faced a terrible disaster. The comet was coming. It would certainly strike at a predictable time and place. There could be no question about that. The immutable laws of the universe demanded it. The approaching cataclysm silenced wars and joined bitter enemies together to find a way out. A way to somewhere else. Anywhere, else, where they could survive. Amid this crisis, hard science and mystical religion battled for the soul of a modern society. Some chose to escape certain death, others to embrace it as a moment of supernatural transformation. The sudden appearance of a strange alien offering rescue only served to harden their resistance. Xenophobic, and warlike, they would prove an unusual challenge for the Fleet. And David Powell's first cruise in command of Onizuka would not go at all as he had planned.
SOMETHING LURKS IN THE SHADOWS... During the chaos of the Word of Blake's Jihad, the MechWarriors of the Federated Suns will go to any lengths to defend their nation from the Blakists' unholy terror-including making deals with the devil. But that devil might just be a literal one: an all-black Marauder, hidden for several decades, that carries an aura of dread that infects everyone who encounters it. Many blame it for causing unexplained disappearances, technical failures, and even madness. But what is the so-called Dark One? Is it merely a ghost story told to scare pirates on the edge of the Periphery, or does something truly evil live beneath its cold, blackened armor? This anthology collects the first three of Lance Scarinci's stories about the Dark One, along with a brand-new fourth story exclusive to this volume.
