In the course of assessing the evidence objectively, the authors, experts in the field of paranormal happenings, have uncovered a disturbing pattern of fear, hidden evidence & attempted suppression of scientific mystery.

"The Twelve Ceasars" of Suetonius (born AD 69), covering the Roman rulers from Julius Caesar to Domitian, remains one of the richest and most fascinating of all Latin histories. His history is the most vivid and raciest account we have of scandalous and amusing incidents in the domestic lives of the first Ceasars. Suetonius gathered much of his information from eye-witnesses, checking his facts carefully and quoting conflicting evidence without bias. Scandalous!
From the early 1950s through the mid-1970s, Holmesburg's inmates were used, in exchange for a few dollars, as guinea pigs in a host of medical experiments. The fact that these human experiments were sanctioned, and condoned by one of the most prestigious universities in the world only makes this true story all the more remarkable and disturbing.

"...beautifully researched - extremely entertaining to read. Their theory on Atlantis will go down in the annals of this subject as one of the most convincing and imaginative." . ...Combining mythology with a wealth of scientific and historical information, the Flem-Aths' research will shake a few foundations.

Hapgood produces concrete evidence of an advanced world-wide civilization existing many thousands of years before ancient Egypt. He has found the evidence in many beautiful maps long known to scholars. these maps were made from more ancient maps from the various ancient archives around the world, now lost. Maps that displayed advanced knowledge of trigonometry--something the 16th century explorers seem to have been sorely lacking. The enigma of the map reveals that there must have indeed been a civilization that created accurate maps and have charted the entire world long before the exploration of the New World by Europeans.
In the eyes of the ancient Greeks and Romans, physical imperfections and infirmities were comparable to marks of the barbarian. The distinguished historian Robert Garland offers the first detailed investigation of the plight of those Greeks and Romans who, owing either to deformity or to disability, did not meet their society's exacting criteria for the ideal human form. ...examines the high incidence of disability and deformity among the Greek and Roman population. From the deaf, the blind, and the lame to hunchbacks, dwarfs, and giants, to those even more severely disabled, he explores the lives of the handicapped and their place in ancient society. Garland discusses medical treatments, jobs available to the disabled, religious and scientific explanations for congenital deformities, and the prevalence of belief in monstrous races. The handicapped served as living testimony to the power of divine retribution, and were also regarded as scapegoats, portents, embodiments of evil, objects of amusement, and proof of nature's ingenuity...contributes an important chapter in the history of the treatment of the disabled and offers a revealing introduction to a relatively neglected aspect of ancient life.
Other readers say "Buy it!" Read the reviews.
A hilarious, crazed, savage, insightfully truth-filled rant about the madness and ecstasy of sex, and the lies we tell ourselves about it....this book dispenses with self-deceiving nonsense about romance, force-fed to us all since birth. "Coming Clean" says sex is emotional and physical TNT. It's a minefield. It's a mess. And it's funny. "COMING CLEAN" is an unflinching exploration of every dimension of human sexuality: the good, the slimy, and the grotesque. It is a bawdy, brilliant, wild ride of a book, by turns hilarious, poignant, and scatological. The book's importance lies in its unraveling of cultural attitudes about sex and sexuality. I recommend it to any adult, especially anyone who has puzzled at our culture's awkward and inconsistent maneuverings around all things sexual."

The Black Death traces the causes and consequences of this infamous outbreak of plague that spread across the continent of Europe from 1347 to 1351. Drawing on sources as diverse as monastic manuscripts and dendrochronological studies (which measure growth rings in trees), historian Robert S. Gottfried shows how a bacillus transmitted by rat fleas brought on an ecological reign of terror - killing one European in three, wiping out entire villages and towns, and rocking the foundation of medieval society and civilization.
