Identifies the origins of Leonardo Da Vinci's 'Vitruvian man' human blueprint code with Stonehenge and the pyramid sites around the world. The author proves that Stonehenge has the same cosmic solution and that the pyramid layouts of the Maya, the Incas, the Khmer and many others around the world, all repeat the same star map theme.
THE ALPHA OMEGA TAURUS STAR GATEThis full color edition will interest both modern truth seekers and also those of a firm belief. Although it reveals the reality of those we call 'angels', it beckons the reader to keep an open mind as to how these 'angels' can be scientifically justified. In doing so, the new findings take the reader to a whole new level that verifies the benevolence of these visitors from above and all the sacred teachings about them. Exposing historical subject matter pertaining to both the paranormal and 'ancient alien' genre that has been deemed 'forbidden', this book brings to light some key prophecy breakthroughs encoded in the biblical Revelation; the discovery of real historical star gate devices; a cosmic address; and the probability of an imminent cosmic visitor event. It is a book that is anything but fiction!Due to the high-risk journey undergone in publishing 'The Hidden Records Chronicles' series, the author has deliberately opted for a less academic, far 'safer' New Age style in the presentation of the content rather than an academic one. Moreover, this publication has 'embedded' in it a very deep psychological spiritual inspiration that readers will experience acting deeply on the psyche - subconsciously lifting the veil to awaken one's consciousness.The year 2017 saw a massive chamber uncovered inside the Great Pyramid. What can we expect to find in it? How can we be sure what it is? The ancients have left a record of it... a 'device'... a star gate! The same year also marked the first ever sighting of a deep-space-origin cylindrical object passing through our solar system. The powers that be were persistent in trying to make it look like a comet but provided no answer as to how it could alter its speed. It was not a rock and the timing of it coincides with this book's new discoveries.The author's first book 'The Hidden Records' published in 2003 compellingly decodes secret symbols and ancient star maps in all ancient civilisations, shocking his readers with his very original Pleiades/Orion star-map star-visitor human origins theory identifying the 'x' that marks the spot. All facts considered; it boldly proposes that humanity originated from one of three sun-like stars near the Pleiades as an arrival. Defining the 'first time' for civilisation on Earth and replacing the doomed Neanderthal. Now with the launch of this 'end times' book, Wayne Herschel takes his established theories a notch higher. This new book begs the question: Are we actually in the 'end times', the end of a chaos period, beginning a new way forward and unveiling what might be an official prophesied 'first contact' event? The two enigmatic symbols of the Alpha and Omega reveal a message. And when compared to segments of the book of Revelation texts, the unthinkable is revealed by these symbols. A hidden world crisis is identified occurring right now, coinciding with an end time prophecy and the relevance of star gates, as well as a revival of the lost knowledge of the actual star gate devices!Readers get to go on a non-dramatized journey with a real symbologist using reasoning and logic, painstakingly decoding each clue previously deemed forbidden. Who would have imagined that the recent deep space object called Oumuamua and the discovery of Atlantis would be tied in with the star maps, the star gate and our amazing ancient-'alien' angelic-bloodline human past? It has 285 pages and detailed full-color graphics and images. There is also the means to access an online gateway with hyperlink-referenced links to free view extra content (limited offer for anyone who purchases the paperback).
"The Hidden Land" means that a large amount of land in the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) was "hidden" or unknown, since the land was managed by both the administrative and the military systems, and only the former was made public while the latter was being hidden due to confidentiality issues. This is one of the author’s creative findings as a result of his solid textual research and rigorous argumentation. Since the Ming state management system had a great impact on the land, the population, the taxes and corvée, the imperial examinations, the justice, the grass-roots organizations and the frontier ethnics during the 500 years from Ming to Qing (1636–1912), the views on the garrisons and guards (weisuo) in the military system are of great help to review the essential issues of the period, which were often misunderstood or neglected before. In addition, the author introduces the present situation, existing problems and basic historical materials in the Ming study which will be beneficial to the Ming researchers and enthusiasts.
A Best Book of 2021 by NPR and The Washington Post Part graphic novel, part memoir, Wake is an imaginative tour de force that tells the “powerful” (The New York Times Book Review) story of women-led slave revolts and chronicles scholar Rebecca Hall’s efforts to uncover the truth about these women warriors who, until now, have been left out of the historical record. Women warriors planned and led revolts on slave ships during the Middle Passage. They fought their enslavers throughout the Americas. And then they were erased from history. Wake tells the “riveting” (Angela Y. Davis) story of Dr. Rebecca Hall, a historian, granddaughter of slaves, and a woman haunted by the legacy of slavery. The accepted history of slave revolts has always told her that enslaved women took a back seat. But Rebecca decides to look deeper, and her journey takes her through old court records, slave ship captain’s logs, crumbling correspondence, and even the forensic evidence from the bones of enslaved women from the “negro burying ground” uncovered in Manhattan. She finds women warriors everywhere. Using a “remarkable blend of passion and fact, action and reflection” (NPR), Rebecca constructs the likely pasts of Adono and Alele, women rebels who fought for freedom during the Middle Passage, as well as the stories of women who led slave revolts in Colonial New York. We also follow Rebecca’s own story as the legacy of slavery shapes her life, both during her time as a successful attorney and later as a historian seeking the past that haunts her. Illustrated beautifully in black and white, Wake will take its place alongside classics of the graphic novel genre, like Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis and Art Spiegelman’s Maus. This story of a personal and national legacy is a powerful reminder that while the past is gone, we still live in its wake.
Country music's debt to African American music has long been recognized. Black musicians have helped to shape the styles of many of the most important performers in the country canon. The partnership between Lesley Riddle and A. P. Carter produced much of the Carter Family's repertoire; the street musician Tee Tot Payne taught a young Hank Williams Sr.; the guitar playing of Arnold Schultz influenced western Kentuckians, including Bill Monroe and Ike Everly. Yet attention to how these and other African Americans enriched the music played by whites has obscured the achievements of black country-music performers and the enjoyment of black listeners. The contributors to Hidden in the Mix examine how country music became "white," how that fictive racialization has been maintained, and how African American artists and fans have used country music to elaborate their own identities. They investigate topics as diverse as the role of race in shaping old-time record catalogues, the transracial West of the hick-hopper Cowboy Troy, and the place of U.S. country music in postcolonial debates about race and resistance. Revealing how music mediates both the ideology and the lived experience of race, Hidden in the Mix challenges the status of country music as "the white man’s blues." Contributors.

"Economy Hall: The Hidden History of a Free Black Brotherhood tells the story of the Sociâetâe d'Economie et d'Assistance Mutuelle, a New Orleans mutual aid society founded by free men of color in 1836. The group was one of the most important multiethnic, intellectual communities in the US South: educators, world-traveling merchants, soldiers, tradesmen, and poets who rejected racism and colorism to fight for suffrage and education rights for all. The author drew on the meeting minutes of the Sociâetâe d'Economie as well as census and civil records, newspapers, and numerous archival sources to write a narrative stretching from the Haitian Revolution through the early jazz age"--
In a riveting account based on new documents and interviews with more than 400 sources on both sides of the aisle, award-winning reporter Michael Grunwald reveals the vivid story behind President Obama’s $800 billion stimulus bill, one of the most important and least understood pieces of legislation in the history of the country. Grunwald’s meticulous reporting shows how the stimulus, though reviled on the right and the left, helped prevent a depression while jump-starting the president’s agenda for lasting change. As ambitious and far-reaching as FDR’s New Deal, the Recovery Act is a down payment on the nation’s economic and environmental future, the purest distillation of change in the Obama era. The stimulus has launched a transition to a clean-energy economy, doubled our renewable power, and financed unprecedented investments in energy efficiency, a smarter grid, electric cars, advanced biofuels, and green manufacturing. It is computerizing America’s pen-and-paper medical system. Its Race to the Top is the boldest education reform in U.S. history. It has put in place the biggest middle-class tax cuts in a generation, the largest research investments ever, and the most extensive infrastructure investments since Eisenhower’s interstate highway system. It includes the largest expansion of antipoverty programs since the Great Society, lifting millions of Americans above the poverty line, reducing homelessness, and modernizing unemployment insurance. Like the first New Deal, Obama’s stimulus has created legacies that last: the world’s largest wind and solar projects, a new battery industry, a fledgling high-speed rail network, and the world’s highest-speed Internet network. Michael Grunwald goes behind the scenes—sitting in on cabinet meetings, as well as recounting the secret strategy sessions where Republicans devised their resistance to Obama—to show how the stimulus was born, how it fueled a resurgence on the right, and how it is changing America. The New New Deal shatters the conventional Washington narrative and it will redefine the way Obama’s first term is perceived.
