Book Description
Six people awake aboard a starship which has been sent to the other side of the galaxy. They cannot remember who they are, or why they're there, but they do remember what they are capable of ... and it seems one of them may be a traitor. While they attempt to travel back to their homes, they are waylaid by problems, people, and a strange enemy with far too much power for her own good. Meanwhile, the other side of the galaxy is at war between the Solar Union and a group of slaves who are attempting to claim what they feel rightfully belongs to them. Making new friends, new enemies, and meeting old enemies they can't even remember, the crew must determine who their real nemesis is before it's too late.

Book Description
A young book editor stumbles up from the site of a bombing in the London subway. He accepts a woman's offer of help and a hot cup of tea. He's never heard from again...A group of boys in upstate New York goes sledding. One doesn't come home...A military convoy approaches a lone figure on a dusty road north of Baghdad. The woman is Army Chaplain Jaime Richards--and it seems she's been gone a lifetime. After two years in paradise, Jaime has chosen to return to the "terris" world as a dual citizen, an Agent of Eden. But soon she will discover that life among mere mortals has become a living hell--and that a series of kidnappings are fatefully and tragically connected. For the victims are all descendants of Eden, and they have the one thing people outside of paradise want: A way to live forever.

Book Description
Those concerned with the current eco-crisis most often look only to scientists and politicians for solutions. In this important book, Patricia Cori invites another, overlooked group—perhaps the most important one—to join the discussion. Beyond the Matrix collects some of the most provocative, forward-thinking interviews conducted on Cori's radio show of the same name, bringing together leaders in various fields of alternative thinking to propose new and exciting perspectives on the future of humanity as we approach the potentially life-changing 2012. Beyond the Matrix offers a portrait of a refreshingly optimistic future in a time when we are bombarded with an apocalypse scenario as the future of our civilization. The book features no-holds-barred, in-depth interviews with such renowned thinkers as New York Times best-selling author and theoretical physicist Michio Kaku, whom many call the Einstein of our times; respected UFO and ET investigator Stanton Friedman; radical Egyptologist Stephen Mehler; former astronaut and the sixth man on the moon Dr. Edgar Mitchell; crop circle expert Andy Thomas; intuitive physicist MaAnna Stephensen; Paradigm Research Group director Stephen Bassett; founder of bluevoice.org Hardy Jones; and nine others. The probing conversations cover a bracing range of subjects, from string theory, UFO and extraterrestrial life, crop circles, and ecology to healing, Egyptian mysticism, ascension, and other significant topics that swirl in our minds as we face a new paradigm for human exploration, where spirit and science finally merge. With its blend of fascinating dialogue and higher ideals, Beyond the Matrix offers both hope and reassurance in these challenging times.

Book Description
I have witnessed the so called world of self-realization hundreds of thousands times, or even a million times. I will continue to discard my memories, and erase the karma of my memories and habits that I have accumulated during my life. By discarding all my memories from my life, I hope to be born again into a world where I am disconnected from life or the world, where only the true self exists without holding any of the self in a human’s mind, the heaven. I was introduced to Maum Meditation by my elder brother in November 2003. I discard all my emotions, joy, happiness, sorrow and anger into the black hole. In my mind, all the karma that I have gathered during my life is discarded into the black hole. In my mind, I sit on the summit of Moak Mountain, and also on the summit of my hometown mountain, dispatching all my memories into the black hole. I discard all my momentary memories into the black hole. Until I remember nothing, I discard all my memories into the black hole from the clusters of galaxies, Venus, and Uranus. I even discard the earth, sun and moon into the black hole as soon as they come to my mind. And I even blast away the black hole as soon as it comes up. Until nothing occurs and bugs my mind all the memories are discarded into the original universe of the creator of this before all things.

Book Description
Today's world is a world of nation-states; few have survived since the early modern period, some have existed for three hundred years, most came into being during the second part of the last century. Yet the equation between the state and the nation does not go back far in history, despite the prevailing tendency to view the state as closely linked to ethnicity. To challenge the latter this book attempts to examine statehood separately from the concept of ethnicity; it asks what is non-ethnic about statehood by looking at 'statehood before and beyond ethnicity'. A non-ethnic statehood is analysed in two forms: as a historical phenomenon at the time of the emergence of the early modern state (Part One) and as a historical tradition which had been pursued by the nation-builders in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (Part Two). Instead of looking at great powers as traditional models of statehood, individual chapters focus on minor and less familiar states in Northern and Eastern Europe from the period c. 1600-2000, including Belgium, Bohemia, Greece, the Netherlands, Romania, Poland-Lithuania, Serbia and Montenegro, Sweden, Scotland and Transylvania.
