Sterling is a small, ordinary New Hampshire town where nothing ever happens - until a student enters the local high school with an arsenal of guns and starts shooting, changing the lives of everyone inside and out. The daughter of the judge sitting on the case is the state's best witness - but she can't remember what happened in front of her own eyes. Or can she?
Jacob Hunt is a teenager: brilliant at maths, wicked sense of humour, extraordinarily organised, hopeless at reading social cues. And Jacob has Asperger's. He is locked in his own world - aware of the world outside, and wanting to make a connection. Jacob tries to be like everyone else, but doesn't know how. When his tutor is found dead, all the hallmark behaviours of Jacob's syndrome - not looking someone in the eye, odd movements, inappropriate actions - start looking a lot like guilt to the police. And Jacob's mother must ask herself the hardest question in the world: is her child capable of murder?
Timothy Good in questo saggio, frutto di quarant'anni di studi e ricerche, analizza fenomeni e casi registrati in ogni parte del pianeta. Dal primo episodio segnalato, quello dell'incontro del canadese Albert Coe con un alieno in un bosco dell'Ontario nel 1920, al famoso 'UFO-crash' di Roswell (New Mexico) nel 1947, sino agli avvistamenti più recenti avvenuti in Brasile e Portorico nel 1996 e nel 1997.
Un viaggio atraverso i meandri più oscuri e misteriosi della storia, sulle tracce archeologiche di una religione segreta che ha modellato i destini dell'umanità. Da Eliopoli a Luxor, da Alessandria d'Egitto a Firenze, da Roma a Londra, in un incalzare di avvenimenti che giungono alla situazione creatasi dopo l'11 settembre. Fra sacerdoti egizi e astronomi, fra gnostici cristiani e saggi ermetici, arabi ed ebrei, gli autori guidano alla scoperta di una Nuova Città del Sole, che esiste nelle planimetrie delle maggiori capitali d'Occidente.
New York Times mega-bestselling author of The Seat of the Soul, Gary Zukav takes a giant leap forward in his message, with this guide to the next level of spiritual growth. "THE LONGEST JOURNEY YOU WILL MAKE IN YOUR LIFE IS FROM YOUR HEAD TO YOUR HEART." With the rare combination of profound psychological insight and deep spirituality that has already drawn millions of readers to his two great national bestsellers, The Seat of the Soul and Soul Stories, prizewinning author Gary Zukav now joins with his spiritual partner Linda Francis to help us develop a new emotional awareness that is central to our spiritual development. In The Seat of the Soul, Zukav brilliantly set forth his fundamental concepts, explaining how the expansion of human perception beyond the five senses leads to a new understanding of power as the alignment of the personality with the soul -- "authentic power." In Soul Stories, he showed how such concepts as harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for Life express themselves in other people's lives. Now, in The Heart of the Soul, he and Francis take the next major step forward in showing us the importance of emotional awareness in applying these concepts to our own daily lives.
