Roswell: the Ultimate Cold Case

Eyewitness Testimony and Evidence of Contact and the Cover-Up

By: Thomas J. Carey,Donald R. Schmitt

For more than 70 years, the crash at Roswell and its ensuing controversies and cover-ups have been investigated; yet despite continually mounting evidence, there are still disbelievers. This book is the final and commanding word on the case. The government has changed their official story on Roswell more than a dozen times, but the witnesses have not recanted. The evidence has not gone away. And won't go away. The Roswell Incident is the most hotly debated and investigated UFO crash in history and has had a seemingly never-ending amount of evidence, eyewitnesses coming forward even years later. Finally, late in life, people feel safe enough or duty bound to reveal what they know, saw, and heard"--

Imperial Connections

India in the Indian Ocean Arena, 1860-1920

By: Thomas R. Metcalf

An innovative remapping of empire, Imperial Connections offers a broad-ranging view of the workings of the British Empire in the period when the India of the Raj stood at the center of a newly globalized system of trade, investment, and migration. Thomas R. Metcalf argues that India itself became a nexus of imperial power that made possible British conquest, control, and governance across a wide arc of territory stretching from Africa to eastern Asia. His book, offering a new perspective on how imperialism operates, emphasizes transcolonial interactions and webs of influence that advanced the interests of colonial India and Britain alike. Metcalf examines such topics as law codes and administrative forms as they were shaped by Indian precedents; the Indian Army's role in securing Malaya, Africa, and Mesopotamia for the empire; the employment of Indians, especially Sikhs, in colonial policing; and the transformation of East Africa into what was almost a province of India through the construction of the Uganda railway. He concludes with a look at the decline of this Indian Ocean system after 1920 and considers how far India's participation in it opened opportunities for Indians to be a colonizing as well as a colonized people.

Space Fluid Hydromechanics

Space Fluid Hydromechanics

By: V.H. Thomas

Space Fluid Hydromechanics is an original research treatise dealing with the nature of presently debated or unknown phenomena in the universe. Theories advanced: Space is filled with a fluid of essentially zero viscosity. This fluid is structured in filaments, not discrete particles. This structure is seen from the microscopic to the telescopic. Nebulae seen in the night sky are not universes of billions of suns, but are seen by reflected sunlight. This also applies to the Milky Way. The mechanics of this space fluid not only accounts for the physical world we see, but also for the phenomena of electricity, magnetism, light, heat, and pressure. These phenomena are characteristics of the Earth's space field. The indicated space pressure near the Earth is in the vicinity of one hundred billion pounds per square inch. There is only one source of available energy, and this source is differential space pressure. There exists electrodynamic space fields in size from a single cell to planetary nebulae. An atomic blast creates an instantaneous space field. The Earth's space field has optical properties. We can never know with exactness the size, position, or distance of any object in space until these factors are applied. The true nature of the "rid shift" is primarily due to light being refracted by the Earth's space field. A constantly compensating equilibrium is maintained among all the objects in the solar system. The calamitous misinterpretation of the MichelsonaEUR"Morley experiment. The real interpretation. The factors that make the Sun hot make the Earth relatively warm. The surface of the Earth would be frozen at hundreds of degrees below zero if the Earth's only source of heat was radiation from the Sun. The objections to the currently supposed size of the universe and the distances to celestial objects. Why there is the spectrum displacement toward the red. There is no positive evidence that any object seen in space is a Sun similar to our own or a collector of suns. He mentions possible exceptions. The probable anatomy of what we see in space is shown in figure 164.

Universals of Legal Reasoning by Judges

A Plea for Candor in Decision-Making

By: Thomas Lundmark

How do judges influence the development of law in Germany and should their behaviour set a precedent for others to follow? This book explores whether or not German judicial methods should serve as a model for the development of European law, both by the European courts and by the courts of other European member states.

Admiral Bill Halsey

A Naval Life

By: Thomas Alexander Hughes

Admiral Bill Halsey

A Naval Life

By: Thomas Alexander Hughes

William Halsey was the most famous naval officer of World War II. His fearlessness in carrier raids against Japan, his steely resolve at Guadalcanal, and his impulsive blunder at the Battle of Leyte Gulf made him the “Patton of the Pacific” and solidified his reputation as a decisive, aggressive fighter prone to impetuous errors of judgment in the heat of battle. In this definitive biography, Thomas Hughes punctures the popular caricature of the “fighting admiral” to reveal the truth of Halsey’s personal and professional life as it was lived in times of war and peace. Halsey, the son of a Navy officer whose alcoholism scuttled a promising career, committed himself wholeheartedly to naval life at an early age. An audacious and inspiring commander to his men, he met the operational challenges of the battle at sea against Japan with dramatically effective carrier strikes early in the war. Yet his greatest contribution to the Allied victory was as commander of the combined sea, air, and land forces in the South Pacific during the long slog up the Solomon Islands chain, one of the war’s most daunting battlegrounds. Halsey turned a bruising slugfest with the Japanese navy into a rout. Skillfully mediating the constant strategy disputes between the Army and the Navy—as well as the clashes of ego between General Douglas MacArthur and Admiral Chester Nimitz—Halsey was the linchpin of America’s Pacific war effort when its outcome was far from certain.

Arizona Flora

Identifies 3,438 Species of Flowering Plants, Ferns, and Fern-Allies Growing Uncultivated in Arizona

Arizona Flora

Identifies 3,438 Species of Flowering Plants, Ferns, and Fern-Allies Growing Uncultivated in Arizona

By: Thomas H. Kearney,Robert H. Peebles

Nearly every life form found among North American flowering plants is represented in Arizona. This amazing diversity is partly explained by the fact that the altitudinal range extends from a few feet above sea level to approximately 12,000 feet at the summit of the San Francisco Peaks. The life zone range from Arctic-Alpine on these peaks to Lower Sonoran in the southwest and Subtropical in the extreme south. The main objective of this book is to provide means for identifying the approximately 3438 species of flowering plants, ferns, and fern-allies growing without cultivation in Arizona. Keys for identification of the families, genera, and species are provided. Under each species the authors give the geographical distribution within and outside Arizona, and usually the altitudinal range and time of flowering. They describe economic uses, toxic or other properties, and ornamental value of many plants, giving particular attention to the utilization of native plants by the large Indian population of the state. Introductory chapters describe the topography, geology, soils, and climate of Arizona, the several types of vegetation in relation to the physical conditions, and the proportional representation of the larger plant families. There is also a brief account of botanical explorations in Arizona since 1832. This is the only available work on the flora of Arizona that includes the results of intensive, botanical research in the state during the past twenty years. It is based on an earlier publication, Flowering Plants and Ferns of Arizona, issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1942 and now out of print. For the present revision, a supplementary section of more than fifty pages has been prepared under the direction of John Thomas Howell and Elizabeth McClintock of the California Academy of Sciences. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1960.

The Children of Roswell

A Seven-Decade Legacy of Fear, Intimidation, and Cover-Ups

By: Thomas J. Carey,Donald R. Schmitt

The children of Roswell UFO eyewitnesses tell their personal stories of government surveillance, coercion, disappearances, and more. Despite the government’s best efforts to explain it away, the Roswell incident of 1947—in which an unidentified flying object was recovered by US Army personnel—remains as fascinating as ever. Parents who were present during or immediately after the incident may have passed on, but their children know what happened. And over the years, they have paid dearly for their knowledge. In The Children of Roswell, their shocking stories are revealed. In these pages, you will learn the truth about: The daughter of a witness to an alien body who discovered that her phone had been bugged for years. How the US Air Force tried to change the mind of the son of the Roswell intelligence officer in 1995. What really became of the son of the principle witness, who disappeared in 1960.

Inside the Real Area 51

The Secret History of Wright Patterson

By: Thomas J. Carey,Donald R. Schmitt

The true nature of what actually crashed in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947 remains classified. Only a select few have ever had access to the truth about what became known as Area 51. But what happened to the remnants of that crash is shrouded in even greater mystery. What began in the high desert of New Mexico ended at Wright-Patterson, an ultra top-secret Air Force base in Dayton, Ohio. The physical evidence of extraterrestrial visitation was buried deep within this nuclear stronghold. How tragic that such seismic news should be kept from the people of the world...pieces of history, now quickly dwindling into oblivion as the last of the secret-keepers passes on. In spite of its rich history of military service to our nation, Wright-Patterson also stands as the secret tomb of one of the greatest occurrences in recorded history. But be prepared...the real Area 51--Wright-Patterson's vault--is about to be opened.
