The United States has repeatedly used drones to kill terrorists in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen in an effort to decrease terrorism and the vitality of terrorist groups. Targeted killing through the use of drones has become a foreign policy weapon to keep the United States safe from further terrorist attacks. However, it is suspected that these killings has actually led to an increase in terrorist group recruitment, terrorist attacks, and empathy for the terrorist group from the local population in addition to several other unwanted repercussions. The two part research question this book attempts to answer is, “What is the effect of drone targeted killing on Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen? And is it a successful method in the War on Terror?”

Este libro es básicamente una novela de aventuras que narra una historia de amor imposible ambientada en el antiguo Egipto desde la perspectiva que contempla el mundo de los primeros dioses Annunaki en la mitología egipcia, los Annu-na-Ki, "aquellos que vinieron de Annu (Nibiru) a Ki (La Tierra)". Ésta es una historia plena de actualidad entroncada en las leyendas milenaristas de la apocalíptica nueva visita del planeta Nibiru (Ajenjo) a nuestro sistema solar según las controvertidas profecías Mayas y Cristiano judías. La narrativa se integra con airoso equilibrio entre la mitología y la fantasía combinando los datos históricos que obtenemos de los documentos arcanos que se han podido conservar hasta nuestros días, cómo es el caso de la Aigyptíaka de Manetón. Los términos empleados en esta novela, al igual que los nombres, localizaciones, conjuros, rituales, etc. han sido sacados de la relación de libros más antiguos conservados como: El Libro de los Muertos (Peri Em Heru), El Libro de las Puertas (Am-Tuat), El Libro de Enoc, El Papiro de Ani, El Papiro de Hunefer, La Biblia, La Epopeya de Erra y La Epopeya de Gilgamesh. No falta en la novela el misterio y el esoterismo arcano inspirados en obras maestras inmortales como: El "Corpus Hermeticum" o La Tabla Esmeralda de Hermes Trimegisto. Estos libros se han conservado con mayor o menor integridad en sus traducciones y versiones. Sin embargo, a pesar de todo, aún continúan mostrando el sabor de la magia antigua que llega hasta nuestros días con un halo de insondable misterio.

From her work's first appearance under the Imagist label to its later development in innovative long poems and prose, H.D.'s excellence was recognized by her peers as well as her successors. H.D. and Poets After is the first book to explore her influence on contemporary American poetry. Twenty essays -- half by eminent American poets writing about their literary engagement with H.D. and half by critics writing about H.D. in relation to these same poets -- provide a fruitful exchange of perceptions and interpretations. The dialogue between these two perspectives -- the first autobiographical testimony and the second critical analysis by scholars attuned to both modern and contemporary poetries and poetics -- calls into question both traditional notions of literary criticism and earlier theories of literary influence. The volume includes a range of contemporary responses to H.D.'s work -- from Alicia Ostriker's radical eroticism to Brenda Hillman's epistemological restlessness to Carolyn Forchs response to moral disasters of the century. H.D. and Poets After demonstrates key aspects of the poet's continuing importance as a "poet's poet" in the best sense.

Sister-Queens in the High Hellenistic Period is a cutting-edge exploration of ancient queenship and the significance of family politics in the dysfunctional dynasties of the late Hellenistic world. This volume, the first full-length study of Kleopatra III and Kleopatra Thea and their careers as queens of Egypt and Syria, thoroughly examines the roles and ideology of royal daughters, wives, and queens in Egypt, the ancient Near East, and ancient Israel and provides a comprehensive study of the iconography, public image, and titles of each queen and their cultural precedents. In addition, this book also offers an introduction to the critical concept of the ‘High Hellenistic Period’ and the maturation of royal female power in the second century BCE. Sister-Queens in the High Hellenistic Period is suitable for students and scholars in ancient history, Egyptology, classics, and gender studies, as well as the general reader interested in ancient queenship, ancient Egypt, the Hellenistic world, and gender in antiquity.
