Book Description
In 1898 Tahirassawichi went to Washington "only to speak about religion" (as he told the American government) only to preserve the prayers. And the Capitol did not impress him." --from "Tahirassawichi in Washington" Ernesto Cardenal, Nicaraguan poet, priest, and revolutionary, foresees a new order for humanity. Here in his Indian poems, Father Cardenal interweaves myth, legend, history, and contemporary reality to speak to many subjects, including the assaults on the Iroquois Nation, the political and cultural life of ancient Mexico, the Ghost Dance movement, the disappearance of the buffalo, U.S. policy during the Vietnam War, and human rights in Central America. Each text is rich with history, poetry, and spiritual insight. This bilingual edition is the only complete collection of Father Cardenal's Indian poems in either Spanish or English. Cardenal has checked and approved the translations and the glossary of cultural and historical referents. "Of epic proportions... The literal translation conveys the epigrammic style and didactic, political message.... Of timely interest." --Library Journal "Priest and Nicaraguan revolutionary as well as poet, Cardenal epitomizes what makes literature live in Central America today. His poems are both sonorous and accessible, political and mystical." --Booklist "... a spectacular work..." --Books of the South West

UFOs Over Topanga Canyon
Author: Preston E. Dennett
Publisher: Llewellyn Worldwide
ISBN: 9781567182217
Category : Unidentified flying objects
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
About 8,000 people live in rural Topanga Canyon in the Topanga State Park. And for over 50 years, they have become witnesses to UFO visitations on a scale that rivals Hudson Valley in New York. In UFO's Over Topanga Canyon, Preston Dennett reveals the history of UFOs and this peaceful valley. The experiences of people range from seeing lights in the sky and alien craft that move in ways no Earthly vehicle could do, to full-on encounters with creatures not of this planet. Like the darkest "X-Files," these meetings turn to terror as people are abducted and returned, only to find a section of their lives, an entire period of time, has been wiped out. What happened during this missing time? What are these aliens trying to accomplish? Why is this happening just minutes from a major metropolitan area? If you want to find out what is going on and move deeper into the real-life mysteries of aliens, you must read UFO's Over Topanga Canyon.--from the Publisher.

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
The truth is out there, sure, that's true. But it's also a lot closer to home than you think. In this book I focus on the most amazing UFO cases and evidence that I have come across over the past almost forty years. Some are older, many are recent and involve everyday people, celebrities, politicians, astronauts and former U.S. presidents. Not only will you learn new information (much of it exclusive) about older and more recent UFO incidents which remain unexplained, you'll be taken on a trip through secret U.S. Government experiments involving invisibility, time travel, mind control and the summoning of Aliens using E.T. Technology. This book is a treasure trove of true facts for those who really want to know the truth, not just the watered down goop fed to us by the media, UFO pundits and cable channels.
