The Late Great Planet Earth
Author: Hal Lindsey
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310531063
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
The impact of The Late Great Planet Earth cannot be overstated. The New York Times called it the "no. 1 non-fiction bestseller of the decade." For Christians and non-Christians of the 1970s, Hal Lindsey's blockbuster served as a wake-up call on events soon to come and events already unfolding -- all leading up to the greatest event of all: the return of Jesus Christ. The years since have confirmed Lindsey's insights into what biblical prophecy says about the times we live in. Whether you're a church-going believer or someone who wouldn't darken the door of a Christian institution, the Bible has much to tell you about the imminent future of this planet. In the midst of an out-of-control generation, it reveals a grand design that's unfolding exactly according to plan. The rebirth of Israel. The threat of war in the Middle East. An increase in natural catastrophes. The revival of Satanism and witchcraft. These and other signs, foreseen by prophets from Moses to Jesus, portend the coming of an antichrist . . . of a war which will bring humanity to the brink of destruction . . . and of incredible deliverance for a desperate, dying planet.

Book Description
The Alliance planets had waged war with the Consortium planets for years. They have finally agreed to a truce. Then a previously unknown planet was discovered and its location and possible strategic advantages caused a new ripple in the pending peace. A terrible solution was suggested: destroy the planet. A joint fleet to accomplish that awful result was on it way to carry out the mission. But residing on the planet, if it could be called a planet, was a mysterious Old Man who had plans of his own. After thwarting every attempt to destroy his planet, he gave everyone on both sides a tremendous lesson in humility and effectively stopped their war. The Old Man then takes the crew of the Star Cruiser Infinity on a new mission that no one could have ever anticipated, a mission to save their universe. Admiral Jenki learns much about his past that had remained hidden within him and Captain Edmonds dramatically reunites with his severely disabled brother. Together they travel to an unknown place to confront a gigantic new threat.

Hello, Is This Planet Earth?
Author: Tim Peake
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0316512761
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 387
Book Description
The #1 international bestseller: An astronaut's tour of our planet from the heavens, featuring 150 mesmerizing photographs (with commentary) from the International Space Station. During his six-month mission to the International Space Station, astronaut Tim Peake became the first British astronaut to complete a spacewalk -- and, perhaps more astonishingly, the first to run an entire marathon in space. During his historic mission, he captured hundreds of dazzling photographs, the very best of which are collected here. Tim captures the majesty of the cosmos and of the planet we call home: breath-taking aerial photos of the world's cities illuminated at night, the natural beauty of the northern lights, and unforgettable views of oceans, mountains, and deserts. Tim's lively stories about life in space appear alongside these photographs, including the tale from which the title is taken: his famous wrong number dialed from space, when he accidentally called a stranger and asked: "Hello, is this planet Earth?" With this truly unique perspective on the incredible sights of our planet, Tim demonstrates that while in space, hundreds of miles above his friends and family, he never felt closer to home.

The Planetary Emergency
Author: Kent D. Shifferd
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476641285
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
Earth and its inhabitants face an unprecedented crisis--the human-caused destruction of the planet's life support systems. Deteriorating climate bringing super storms, mass forest fires, melting glaciers, droughts, extreme heat and rising seas, a decline in food production, soil loss, water pollution and declining fisheries all threaten the future of life on earth with a looming extinction event not seen for 60 million years. Beginning in the 17th century, we developed a civilization based on radical materialism, exploitation of natural resources and the myth of endless economic growth. For all its technological wonders, this "hypercivilization" has proven unsustainable. This book explores ways we can create an "ecocivilization" compatible with the laws and limits of nature--a new way of living already developing, with new technologies, new forms of social organization and a new story about ourselves and the Earth.

The Mayan Astronaut
Author: Pierluigi Peruzzi
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 375579845X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
The Palenque tombstone from a technical point of view. Without religious rites and without a tree of of life, but a flying cart. Made with the remains of a high civilization? Were the Anunnaki involved? Were the Ancient Astronaus humans from one of our old civilizations ? Or were they visitors from some other planet ? The author is more and more convinced that the so called "visitors" or Gods came from our own solar system and due to the "cooling" of our Sun they moved towards the center of the solar system. Therefore he presume that the Species Homo Sapiens has developed on another planet or moon of our own solar system. Eventually, however, the species Homo Sapiens could have developed on Earth. After a possible great natural catastrophe mankind was reduced to the stone age. The survivors of that time (assuming that this theory is right), were perhaps working in Earth orbit, in large space stations. Who knows? Perhaps, when the Palenque tombstone was chiseled, this flying object had not existed for centuries. Since photos bleach very quickly, these may not have existed anymore. The author assume, however, that technical plans on thick paper still existed and were still in the orbital stations. Unfortunately the Catholic clergy destroyed just about everything they found. Thus the last evidence was also eliminated.
