Synopsis 2012 by : Alexandra Bruce

The expanded companion book to the #1 documentary film about 2012! The 2012 meme has evolved beyond any debates about the relevance of the Maya Long Count calendar to the lives of contemporary human beings. 2012 is about us on planet Earth at this time. December 21, 2012: will the world really change forever on this date, the end of a 5,125-year calendar last used over a thousand years ago? Certainly Hollywood would like you to think so. Indeed, a not-so-small industry has arisen around the date, hawking everything from t-shirts to teleseminars. Clearing a path between fantasy and reality, Alexandra Bruce surveys the entire 2012 landscape, asking questions such as: Is the Earth losing its Mojo? How did 2012 come to mean "The End of Time"? Did psychedelics facilitate the Maya "Cosmovision"? Should we worry about Earth Crustal Displacement? What the hell is "Planet X"? Uniquely amongst a vast array of 2012 literature, this book features interviews with the leading experts—including Graham Hancock, John Major Jenkins, Daniel Pinchbeck and many others—and insightful, detailed analysis of the broad spectrum of opinion, debate, research and myth regarding the most compelling "end times" prediction of the 21st century.

Synopsis The Cambridge Companion to Utopian Literature by : Gregory Claeys

Since the publication of Thomas More's genre-defining work Utopia in 1516, the field of utopian literature has evolved into an ever-expanding domain. This Companion presents an extensive historical survey of the development of utopianism, from the publication of Utopia to today's dark and despairing tendency towards dystopian pessimism, epitomised by works such as George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. Chapters address the difficult definition of the concept of utopia, and consider its relation to science fiction and other literary genres. The volume takes an innovative approach to the major themes predominating within the utopian and dystopian literary tradition, including feminism, romance and ecology, and explores in detail the vexed question of the purportedly 'western' nature of the concept of utopia. The reader is provided with a balanced overview of the evolution and current state of a long-standing, rich tradition of historical, political and literary scholarship.

Synopsis The History of the Science-fiction Magazine by : Michael Ashley

This third volume in Mike Ashley's four-volume study of the science-fiction magazines focuses on the turbulent years of the 1970s, when the United States emerged from the Vietnam War into an economic crisis. It saw the end of the Apollo moon programme and the start of the ecology movement. This proved to be one of the most complicated periods for the science-fiction magazines. Not only were they struggling to survive within the economic climate, they also had to cope with the death of the father of modern science fiction, John W. Campbell, Jr., while facing new and potentially threatening opposition. The market for science fiction diversified as never before, with the growth in new anthologies, the emergence of semi-professional magazines, the explosion of science fiction in college, the start of role-playing gaming magazines, underground and adult comics and, with the success of Star Wars, media magazines. This volume explores how the traditional science-fiction magazines coped with this, from the

Synopsis The God Like Powers Series-Volume 1-Bundle by : Martin K. Ettington

When dealing with Metaphysics and the Paranormal, there are no degrees or certified experts. Each person writing on these subjects has developed their expertise through their experiences, personal research, and learning over many years. This compilation combines the first five books of my God Like Powers Series into one Bundle  Human Invisibility  Invulnerability and Shielding  Teleportation  Psychokinesis  Our Energy Body, Auras, and Thoughtforms The overall approach is to introduce each subject, provide some background and history, and then to provide specific ideas, recommendations, and advice on how to achieve the theme of the book. This compilation is designed to show my overall beliefs and recommendations on several subjects. One of these core beliefs is that we all have a core of the universal spirit inside each of us. That by learning to be centered in this spirit we improve our happiness, health, and ability to do things which might be considered supernatural or impossible. I hope this compilation provides each reader with some insights which will help improve their lives overall.

Synopsis Fist Number 7: 4Th Surrealist Manifesto by : Dean Whittington

Surrealism has been covered over by the sanitised hand-towel of bourgeois decorum and then relegated to the art gallery as yet another happy-clappy social distraction. Subsequently a journey into revolutionising minds has been reduced to gazing and consuming objects; fit for advertising dross. What has occurred is consumption without reflection. Only by returning back to Breton, Vaches and the original surrealistic impulse can the wider culture be reaffirmed; this philosophy of art calls for an alchemisation of the self: to think higher and thereby emit elevated social values. Eventually this will shift individual as well as collective minds into the Stratos. Thinking higher - means moving firstly entering into nihilism and destroying all current values, before rediscovering the Albedo life stream to then move into the masculine realm of Citrinitas: before dissolving within the Rubedo flow of pure collective consciousness. The book plots a journey within a stream of thinking to dissolve from engaging in robotic herd-speak; to finally entering an elite ambit of reflective consciousness.
