Public Bioethics

Principles and Problems

By: James F. Childress

This book collects the most influential essays and articles by renowned ethicist James F. Childress, along with several new pieces. It focuses on 'public bioethics' - bioethics as they relate to the shaping of public policy and public culture. The book is divided into four sections, which address issues of autonomy and paternalism, the role of religious convictions and conscientious refusals in health care, ethical practices in organ transplantation, and the general terrain of public health ethics.

Louisiana Notary Exam Outline to the 2023 Study Guide

A Simpler Summary of the Official Book

By: Michele Childress

NEW EDITION FOR 2023, for use with the current study guide. Updates and expands the previous edition, and is keyed to the state guide. The Louisiana Notary Public exam is based on a 722-page study guide, Fundamentals of Louisiana Notarial Law and Practice. But the official book is famously difficult and organized in a complex way. Readers often need help — including classes and Facebook groups — just to unwind it. This book is, at last, directly aimed at simplifying and outlining the study guide itself. Such a resource offers a better chance of passing the notoriously challenging notary exam. Law school classes and bar exam prep have long given law students the advantage of complete outlines, nutshells, and bar review materials authored by experts in their subjects. It's time for this concept to be used for notary prep as well. Applying the tried-and-true outlining format successfully employed for bar review, experienced lawyer/notary Michele Childress offers this resource for aspiring Louisiana notaries — whether they're prepping by self-study or as part of organized coursework. A new addition — now in its second edition — to the Self-Study Sherpa Series from Quid Pro Books, this book joins the Sidepiece and Sample Questions texts as affordable guidance in the journey to becoming a commissioned notary in our state.

Become a Notary Public in Louisiana

Process and Possibilities

By: Steven Alan Childress

Now SUPERSEDED by our newer edition, also found on this site. Louisiana civil law notaries enjoy functions, responsibilities, and earning potential unmatched in any other state — and reserved there to attorneys. Louisiana notaries wield the power not just to verify signatures but also to create the legal papers they notarize, including affidavits, donations, powers of attorney, and even wills and trusts. And so much more, with no educational requirement beyond high school ... but a state exam that is famously challenging. The entire process to become a notary is difficult, and wrapped in some mystery. This book is helpful if you’re in the beginning stages of becoming a notary public. Or just thinking about joining the profession. It’s about the process of registering to be a notary, and why you’d want to. It’s about the classes, resources, and options available to prep for the exam. It’s not a study guide to the test’s content itself. Other books do that, including the best-selling Sidepiece guide also by Prof. Childress of Tulane. But it does explain the format of the exam and the structure of questions so that a candidate knows how to start studying. Previously, no one had offered a guide to the preliminary but confusing steps you take to be eligible for the exam — or rules and tips you’d want to know right away about the exam process and its “open book.” Website information can be unclear and incomplete, without disclosing the realities. This book is about “what I wish someone told me from Day One when I was considering becoming a notary in Louisiana.” An affordable addition to the Self-Study Sherpa Series from Quid Pro Books.

EDiscovery Plain & Simple

A Plain English Crash Course in E-discovery

By: Allison Brecher,Shawnna Childress

We communicate, transact business, and socialize electronically as never before, so it's no surprise that virtually all business records are created and kept in electronic form. That electronic data resides everywhere - - on computers, Blackberries and portable devices, servers, backup tapes. When organizations and individuals reasonably anticipate litigation, they are under an obligation to preserve all relevant electronically stored information, but with the tangled web of electronic data that is stored in so many places (often subject to conflicting rules and laws about the storage of that data), it is very difficult to understand the legal obligations and implement them. E-discovery Plain & Simple discusses the world of electronically stored information and discovery through the viewpoints of two international experts in this field, an attorney and information technology consultant. This book explains technology and the legal issues involved in how we communicate and store electronic information in a "plain English" fashion, with charts, checklists, simple images and diagrams that are designed for readers with little, if any, information technology background. E-Discovery Plain & Simple is a key source of information for attorneys; corporate legal and compliance departments; small business owners and those who assist them who need to understand their legal obligations in this area and have them explained in clearly and concisely.

The PhDictionary

A Glossary of Things You Don't Know (but Should) about Doctoral and Faculty Life

By: Herb Childress

Navigating academia can seem like a voyage through a foreign land: strange cultural rules dictate everyday interactions, new vocabulary awaits at every turn, and the feeling of being an outsider is unshakable. For students considering doctoral programs and doctoral students considering faculty life, The PhDictionary is a lighthearted companion that illuminates the often opaque customs of academic life. With more than two decades as a doctoral student, college teacher, and administrator, Herb Childress has tripped over almost every possible misunderstood term, run up against every arcane practice, and developed strategies to deal with them all. He combines current data and personal stories into memorable definitions of 150 key phrases and concepts graduate students will need to know (or pretend to know) as they navigate their academic careers. From ABD to white paper—and with buyout, FERPA, gray literature, and soft money in between—each entry contains a helpful definition and plenty of relevant advice. Wry and knowledgeable, Childress is the perfect guide for anyone hoping to scale the ivory tower.

Leading for Equity

The Pursuit of Excellence in the Montgomery County Public Schools

By: Stacey M. Childress,Denis P. Doyle,David A. Thomas

Leading for Equity tells the compelling story of the Montgomery County (Maryland) Public Schools and its transformation—in less than a decade—into a system committed to breaking the links between race and class and academic achievement. In chapters organized around six core themes, the authors lay out the essential elements of MCPS’s success. They identify key lessons other districts can draw from MCPS’s experience and offer a framework for applying them. A dramatic departure from “business as usual,” MCPS has won nationwide attention as a compelling model for tackling the achievement and opportunity issues that confront our nation as a whole.

Practical Reasoning in Bioethics

By: James F. Childress

This is a valuable clarification, re-statement and defence of principlism as an approach to applied ethics. It is strongly recommended to many teachers of bioethics..." -- Journal of the American Medical Association "Childress' book deserves careful study by all concerned with the ethical aspect of contemporary biomedical challenges." -- Science Books & Films "An ideal supplement for a graduate seminar on bioethics or for upper-division undergraduates needing more information in this area." -- Choice In these revised and updated essays, renowned ethicist James F. Childress highlights the role of imagination in practical reasoning through various metaphors and analogies. His discussion of ethical problems contributes to a better understanding of the scope and strength of different moral principles, such as justice, beneficence, and respect for autonomy. At the same time, Childress demonstrates the major role of metaphorical, analogical, and symbolic reasoning in biomedical ethics, largely in conjunction with, rather than in opposition to, principled reasoning.

The Annotated Common Law

With 2010 Foreword and Explanatory Notes

By: Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.,Steven Alan Childress

Decoded, demythed rendition of Holmes' classic study of law and judicial development of rules. "The life of the law has not been logic: it has been experience." Includes 2010 Foreword; extensive, clear annotations by a Tulane law professor woven into The Common Law; footnotes with real numbers; and original page cites. Care in detail, proofreading, notes, and formatting, unlike any version made. As lamented by Holmes' premier biographer in 2006, The Common Law "is very likely the best-known book ever written about American law. But it is a difficult, sometimes obscure book, which today's lawyers and law students find largely inaccessible." No longer. With insertions and simple definitions of the original's language and concepts, this version makes it live for college students (able to "get it," at last, with legal terms explained), plus law students, lawyers, and anyone wanting to understand his great book. No previous edition, even in print, has offered annotations. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. compiled his master work in 1881 from lectures on the origins, reasoning, and import of the common law. It jump-started legal Realism and established law as a pragmatic way to solve problems and make policy, not just a bucket of rules. It has stood the test of time as one of the most important and influential studies of law. This book is interesting for a vast audience, including historians, students, and political scientists. It is also a recommended read before law school or in the 1L year. High quality, fully linked ePub edition from Quid Pro's Legal Legends Series.

Transnational Law and Practice

By: Donald Earl Childress III,Michael D. Ramsey,Christopher A. Whytock

Transnational Law and Practice emphasizes the knowledge and skills that students need to solve the real-world transnational legal problems they are likely to encounter as lawyers in today’s globalized world—regardless of their field of practice and regardless of whether they are interested in international law as such. The casebook covers public international law and international courts; but unlike traditional international law casebooks, it urges students not to be “international law-centric” or “international court-centric” and gives them the resources to learn how to use national law and national courts, and private norms and alternative dispute resolution methods, to solve transnational legal problems on behalf of their clients. New to the Second Edition: Substantially re-written chapter on recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments to reflect recent important developments Excerpts from and discussion of new Supreme Court decisions on extraterritoriality, personal jurisdiction, the Alien Tort Statute and Foreign Sovereign Immunity Excerpts from the new Restatement (Fourth) of the Foreign Relations Law of the United States and the draft Restatement of the U.S. Law of International Commercial and Investor-State Arbitration Professors and students will benefit from: A practice-oriented approach that focuses on the knowledge and skills students need to solve real-world transnational legal problems on behalf of their clients. Comparative perspectives throughout. A team of authors with a wide range of expertise and experience in transnational litigation, arbitration, international law, constitutional law and transnational business transactions. An excellent alternative to classic public international law texts for introductory or first-year courses on international or transnational law. Multiple uses: With advanced material on transnational practice in U.S. courts, also ideal for upper-division courses on international civil litigation. Practical materials not traditionally included in public international law casebooks, such as materials on transnational commercial arbitration and conflict of laws. Extensive explanatory text to facilitate student learning and notes and questions that emphasize real-world lawyering, not just theory and doctrine. Review questions at the end of each chapter to help students synthesize, logically structure, and flowchart complex material.

Essentials of Public Health Ethics

By: Ruth Gaare Bernheim,James F. Childress,Alan Melnick,Richard J Bonnie

As threats of infectious disease grow and the nation confronts chronic health problems such as diabetes and obesity, health professionals, citizens, and community stakeholders must address increasingly complex ethical conflicts about public health policies and practices. Essentials of Public Health Ethics introduces students to the field of public health ethics, by focusing on cases. Topics span the discipline of public health and integrate materials, concepts, and frameworks from numerous fields in public health, such as health promotion, environmental health and health policy. By delving into both historical and contemporary cases, including international cases, the authors investigate the evolution and impact of various understandings of the concept of “the public” over time, i.e., the public not only as a numerical population that can be defined and measured, but also as a political group with legally defined obligations and relationships, as well as diverse cultural and moral understandings. While the text examines a range of philosophical theories and contemporary perspectives, it is written in a way that presupposes no previous exposure to the philosophical concepts but at the same time provides challenging cases for students who do have more advanced knowledge. Thus the book should be useful in Schools and Programs in Public Health as well as for undergraduate public health courses in liberal arts institutions and for health sciences students at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels.

Project Rainbow and the Philadelphia Experiment

Morris K. Jessup and US Navy Teleportation

By: David Hatcher Childress

David Childress, popular author and star of the History Channel show Ancient Aliens, brings us the amazing story of the so-called Philadelphia Experiment and the many curious events that happened in its aftermath. The Philadelphia Experiment was an event claimed to have been witnessed by an ex-merchant mariner named Carl M. Allen at the United States Navy’s Philadelphia Naval Shipyard on October 28, 1943. Allen described an experiment called Project Rainbow where the US Navy attempted to make a destroyer class ship, the USS Eldridge, disappear and the bizarre results that followed. The story of the “Philadelphia Experiment” originated in late 1955 when Carl M. Allen sent an anonymous package marked “Happy Easter” containing a copy of Morris K. Jessup’s book The Case for the UFO: Unidentified Flying Objects to the US Office of Naval Research. The book was filled with handwritten notes in its margins, written with three different shades of blue ink, appearing to detail a debate among three individuals, only one of whom is given a name: “Jemi.” They commented on Jessup’s ideas about the propulsion for flying saucers, discussed alien races, discussed Project Rainbow and expressed concern that Jessup was too close to discovering their technology. He also sent letters to Jessup. Jessup was then discovered in Florida dead in his car with a hose wired to his exhaust pipe to bring the toxic fumes into the vehicle. It was ruled a suicide. Was Jessup murdered as many people believe? Was he part of Project Rainbow—an effort to teleport a battleship through time and space? Did the Defense Industrial Security Command (DISC), headed by Wernher von Braun, have something to do with his death? Why did the US Navy want a special annotated edition of Jessup’s book published called the Varo Edition?

Andromeda: The Secret Files

The Flying Submarines of the SS

By: David Hatcher Childress

David Childress, popular author and star of the History Channel show Ancient Aliens, brings us the amazing story of the German Andromeda craft, designed and built during WWII. Along with flying disks, the Germans were making long, cylindrical airships that are commonly called motherships—large craft that house several smaller disk craft. It was not until 1989 that a German researcher named Ralf Ettl, living in London, received an anonymous packet of photographs and documents concerning the planning and development of at least three types of unusual craft—including the Andromeda. Ettl went on to make several television documentaries based on the material in the packet and released most of the documents and photos to researchers in Austria and other parts of Europe. What the Ralf Ettl document dump shows us is what many have suspected for a long time: that WWII did not end in the manner in which we have been told, and a remnant of the Nazi military—particularly the SS—continued to operate aircraft and submarines around the world in the decades after the end of the war. Much of this activity has been attributed to UFO activity, but Childress lifts the veil shrouding some of these cases and shows that Andromeda and Haunebu craft were involved in many of these incidents over the decades. Join Childress as he shows us the secret files involving the Andromeda, Haunebu, and Vril craft. Chapters include: Gravity’s Rainbow; The Motherships; The MJ-12, UFOs and the Korean War; The Strange Case of Reinhold Schmidt; Secret Cities of the Winged Serpent; The Green Fireballs; Submarines That Can Fly; The Breakaway Civilization; more. Includes a 16-page color section. Over 120 photographs and diagrams.

4-Square Human Development System

A Comprehensive Process for Human Behavior and Performance Development

By: Quin Childress,Childress Consulting

Exhaustive research has been done on employee behavior and productivity in the workplace. The findings are pretty consistent. People are largely underutilized, and the majority of management and employees are unhappy with their work environment. Even worse, there hasn't been a straightforward, comprehensive process for human development in the workplace. There have been many attempts, but the choices are often cumbersome, expensive, or incomplete. Most don't satisfy the real need for human change management that contributes to organizational success.

It effectively brings management and employees together on common interests, "once and for all," This powerful management tool: .Generates dramatic, rapid improvements in morale Gets management and employees working together on the same page Meets the needs and wants of an organization's best employees Provides an effective process for dealing with performance and behavior issues Keeps everyone focused on strategic, measurable objectives Best of all, it's a user-friendly, "documented" system focused on helping people and organizations succeed.

The Adjunct Underclass

How America’s Colleges Betrayed Their Faculty, Their Students, and Their Mission

By: Herb Childress

Class ends. Students pack up and head back to their dorms. The professor, meanwhile, goes to her car . . . to catch a little sleep, and then eat a cheeseburger in her lap before driving across the city to a different university to teach another, wholly different class. All for a paycheck that, once prep and grading are factored in, barely reaches minimum wage. Welcome to the life of the mind in the gig economy. Over the past few decades, the job of college professor has been utterly transformed—for the worse. America’s colleges and universities were designed to serve students and create knowledge through the teaching, research, and stability that come with the longevity of tenured faculty, but higher education today is dominated by adjuncts. In 1975, only thirty percent of faculty held temporary or part-time positions. By 2011, as universities faced both a decrease in public support and ballooning administrative costs, that number topped fifty percent. Now, some surveys suggest that as many as seventy percent of American professors are working course-to-course, with few benefits, little to no security, and extremely low pay. In The Adjunct Underclass, Herb Childress draws on his own firsthand experience and that of other adjuncts to tell the story of how higher education reached this sorry state. Pinpointing numerous forces within and beyond higher ed that have driven this shift, he shows us the damage wrought by contingency, not only on the adjunct faculty themselves, but also on students, the permanent faculty and administration, and the nation. How can we say that we value higher education when we treat educators like desperate day laborers? Measured but passionate, rooted in facts but sure to shock, The Adjunct Underclass reveals the conflicting values, strangled resources, and competing goals that have fundamentally changed our idea of what college should be. This book is a call to arms for anyone who believes that strong colleges are vital to society.

And West Is West

A Novel

By: Ron Childress

“A calculated nail-biter that shines a dark light on life in the 21st century.” —The Washington Post “A story no one has ever written before, and one we all need to read . . . Impressive and keenly relevant to our time.” —Barbara Kingsolver When Jessica, a young Air Force drone pilot in Nevada, is tasked with launching a missile against a suspected terrorist halfway across the world, she has no choice but to comply, even if it means women and children will be killed too. Meanwhile, Ethan, a young Wall Street quant, develops an algorithm that enables his company’s clients to profit by exploiting the international financial instability caused by exactly this kind of antiterrorist strike. These two are only minor players, but their actions have global implications that tear lives apart--including their own, as they are cast out by a flawed system and forced to take the blame for the orders of their superiors. Award-winning author Ron Childress has crafted a powerful, politically charged, and terrifyingly real novel for our time. “Extraordinary.” —The Kansas City Star “This compelling debut novel . . . dramatically examines the insidious role unrestrained technology plays in the moral and ethical corruption of people, institutions, and government . . . An excellent story, well told, suspenseful, and tragic.” —Publishers Weekly “This powerful and morally chilling tale depicts the chasm modern technology can create between actions and consequences.” —Library Journal “A smart, satisfying work about real people navigating the uneasy compromises of today’s world. With sharp writing and likeable characters, Ron Childress has woven a very human story out of the tangle of conflicts--military, political, financial--that bind us together.” —Washington Independent Review of Books, “2015 Best Novels of the Year” “A master study in how people can emotionally detach themselves from the damage they cause in our computer-driven world.” —The Washington Post

Antarctica and the Secret Space Program

From WWII to the Current Space Race

By: David Childress

David Childress, popular author and star of the History Channel show Ancient Aliens, brings us the incredible tale of Nazi submarines and secret weapons in Antarctica and elsewhere. He looks into the strange life and death of Rudolf Hess, as well as the mystery of James Forrestal and the secret group called MJ-12. He examines Operation Highjump led by Admiral Richard Byrd in 1947 and the battle that he apparently had in Antarctica with flying saucers. Through “Operation Paperclip,” the Nazis infiltrated aerospace companies, banking, media, and the US government, including NASA and the CIA after WWII. He reveals that the Nazis had built secret bases in a variety of places during WWII, including Greenland, the Canary Islands, Tibet and Antarctica. Childress discusses the secret U-boat fleet that patrolled the Atlantic and Antarctic Oceans for decades after the war. He looks into the secret German space program and its flying disks and tubular aircraft; the secret technology involved, including anti-gravity propulsion technology; underground and under ice bases; strange things happening in South America; and secret bases on the Moon and Mars. Childress looks at the possible merger of Nazi assets in Antarctic with the Americans’ and the use of Antarctica as a space base for traffic to secret space stations in orbit and below the surface of the Moon. The author looks at military space programs such as Solar Warden, Lunex and Project Horizon. Does the US Space Force have a secret space program that maintains huge ships in orbit around the Earth and employs hundreds of astronauts as crew for these vehicles? Includes a 16-page color section.

Man-made UFOs, 1944-1994

50 Years of Suppression

By: Renato Vesco,David Hatcher Childress

A comprehensive and in-depth look at the early 'flying saucer technology' of Nazi Germany and the genesis of early man-made UFOs. From captured German scientists, escaped battalions of German soldiers, secret communities in South America and Antarctica to today's state-of-the-art 'Dreamland' flying machines, the astonishing book blows the lid off the 'Government UFO Conspiracy'. Examined in detail are secret underground airfields and factories; German secret weapons; 'suction' aircraft; the origin of NASA; gyroscopic stabilisers and engines; the secret Marconi aircraft factory in South America, and other secret societies, both ancient and modern, that have kept this craft a secret, and much more.

The Twenty-first Century University

Developing Faculty Engagement in Internationalization

By: Lisa K. Childress

During the last few decades, many university presidents and provosts have expressed an intent to internationalize their institutions to equip students with the broad intellectual skills necessary to succeed in the global twenty-first century. But as various academic and professional studies have shown, these well-intentioned calls for internationalization have remained little more than rhetoric. Obstacles embedded in developing faculty engagement in internationalization are largely responsible for this inability to turn rhetoric into reality. This groundbreaking book identifies what successful institutions have done to overcome endogenous challenges and successfully engage faculty in the internationalization process. Examining two exemplary cases of internationalization, this book extrapolates strategies for colleges and universities to adapt to their unique institutional cultures, histories, and priorities, to support faculty in internationalizing their teaching, research, and service. In addition to in-depth analysis of each successful institution, the book analyzes cross-case findings and implications. This book presents a new conceptual model and typology of faculty engagement in internationalization that can be used both by university administrators to expand faculty involvement in the implementation of their institution's internationalization plans and by faculty to advance their knowledge of internationalization.

The Second Season of Growth

By: Craig Childress Johnson

Advice given when buying plants or trees is "Don't expect any blooms the first year. Fruit trees may require three years." I planted a slim brown stick in my yard and got nothing the first year except a thin brown stick with a few leaves on it. During its second season of growth and beyond, that brown stick grew to 7 inches in diameter and now produces wondrous 20 foot pink clouds each spring. In an ideal world we learn lessons the first time around. So often, as with daffodils and cherry trees, we need more time to get it. Winter, incendiary summer, a few storms, and unexpected late frost toughen us, giving us confidence to face whatever life has for us. We can then bloom where we are planted. We often don't have choices about challenges life gives us, but we have free-will in deciding how to respond to them. We can embrace the One who gives Wisdom to live life abundantly. May these vignettes inspire you to find pearls of learning and wisdom to be harvested from the depths of your own life.

Georgia Bottoms

A Novel

By: Mark Childress

Georgia Bottoms is known in her small community of Six Points, Alabama, as a beautiful, well-to-do, and devoutly Baptist Southern belle. Nobody realizes that the family fortune has long since disappeared, and a determinedly single woman like Georgia needs an alternative, and discreet, means of income. In Georgia's case it is six well-heeled lovers -- one for each day of the week, with Mondays off -- none of whom knows about the others. But when the married preacher who has been coming to call (Saturdays) decides to confess their affair in front of the whole congregation, Georgia must take drastic measures to stop him. In George Bottoms, Mark Childress proves once again his unmistakable skill for combining the hilarious and the absurd to reveal the inner workings of the rebellious human heart.

While the government wants you to think that aliens are buzzing military bases, this book presents the overwhelming evidence that most "nuts and bolts" UFOs are made on earth and piloted by earthlings. This important book reveals the secret technologies German scientists captured at the end of World War II were working on, and takes us right up to today's state-of-the-art flying machines

Vril: Secrets of the Black Sun

By: David Hatcher Childress

Childress reveals numerous secrets of the Black Sun in this final volume in his series about the Fourth Reich. David Childress, popular author and star of the History Channel show Ancient Aliens, unveils the amazing story of the German flying disks, designed and built during WWII. It was not until 1989 that a German researcher named Ralf Ettl, living in London, received an anonymous packet of photographs and documents concerning the planning and development of at least three types of unusual craft—including the Vril, Haunebu and Andromeda. Ettl went on to make several television documentaries based on the material in the packet and released most of the documents and photos to researchers in Austria and other parts of Europe. What the Ralf Ettl document dump shows us is what many have suspected for a long time: that WWII did not end in the manner in which we have been told, and a remnant of the Nazi military—particularly the SS—continued to operate aircraft and submarines around the world in the decades after the end of the war. This volume closes with how the SS operates today in the Ukraine and how the Wagner second in command, Dimitry Utkin, killed in the fiery crash of Yevgeny Prigozhin’s private jet between Moscow and St. Petersburg in August of 2023, had SS tattoos on his shoulders and often signed his name with the SS runes. Chapters include: Secrets of the Black Sun; The Extra-Territorial Reich; The Rise of the SS; The SS Never Surrendered; Secret Submarines, Antarctica & Argentina; Secret of the Vril; The Marconi Connection; Spectre, the SS, and 007; Yellow Submarine; Ukraine and the Battalion of the Black Sun; more. Includes an 8-page color section. Over 120 photographs and diagrams.

Deconverted

The Deconstruction and Dismantling of the Contemporary Church

By: Jeffery Childress,John S. Knox

Is the modern Christian church losing the battle against postmodern society and the current hate culture? Deconverted reflects research gathered from interviews with once self-professed Christians who have now walked away from the church and their previously deeply-held religious beliefs. With so much at risk in the lives of postmodern seekers, who is being misled and what apologetical truths can the church learn from this phenomenon?

Marco Polo's Journey to China. 2nd Edition

By: Diana Childress

Can one book really change the world? A handwritten manuscript by Marco Polo in 1288 did. Polo, son of a wealthy Italian merchant, wrote about his incredible experiences traveling to China with his father and uncle on a trade expedition, and also about his adventures as an envoy of Kublai Khan, the ruler of most of China. Polo’s book became a bestseller in Europe in the fourteenth century. It was copied over and over by hand, translated into fourteen languages, and became one of the first books to be printed after the invention of moveable type. The tales inspired others—including Christopher Columbus in the fifteenth century—to seek new sea routes for trade. Polo’s adventures—and manuscript—are one of world history’s most pivotal moments.

HAUNEBU: THE SECRET FILES

The Greatest UFO Secret of All Time

By: David Childress

David Childress, popular author and star of the History Channel show Ancient Aliens, brings us the incredible tale of the German flying disk known as the Haunebu. Although rumors of German flying disks have been around since the late years of WWII it was not until 1989 when a German researcher named Ralf Ettl living in London received an anonymous packet of photographs and documents concerning the planning and development of at least three types of unusual craft—craft which we would classify today as UFOs or flying saucers. Ettl went on to make several television documentaries based on the material in the packet and released most of the documents and photos to researchers in Austria and other parts of Europe. What the Ralf Ettl document dump shows us is what many have suspected for a long time: that WWII did not end in the manner in which we have been told, and a remnant of the Nazi military—particularly the SS—continued to operate flying saucers and submarines around the world in the decades after the end of the war. This activity—involving a flying saucer known as the Haunebu—was particularly notable in South America, but it ultimately involved all the continents of the world including Antarctica. Join Childress as he shows us the secret files involving the Haunebu, the Vril craft, the Andromeda craft, and others. Includes a 16-page color section. Over 120 photographs and diagrams.

Trouble in Mind

By: Alice Childress

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Trouble in Mind

By: Alice Childress

“A masterpiece . . . Trouble in Mind still contains astonishing power; it could have been written yesterday.” —Vulture Ahead of its time, Trouble in Mind, written in 1955, follows the rehearsal process of an anti-lynching play preparing for its Broadway debut. When Wiletta, a Black actress and veteran of the stage, challenges the play’s stereotypical portrayal of the Black characters, unsettling biases come to the forefront and reveal the ways so-called progressive art can be used to uphold racist attitudes. Scheduled to open on Broadway in 1957, Childress objected to the requested changes in the script that would “sanitize” the play for mainstream audiences, and the production was canceled as a result. Childress’s final script is published here with an essay by playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, editor of TCG Illuminations.
