In "Mysteries of the Gods: Ancient Aliens Throughout Mankind's History," renowned French scientist Robert Charroux (who worked as an expert consultant - with William Shatner and Erich von Daniken - on the 1970s documentary, "Mysteries of the Gods") asks the pertinent question: "What really happened in our past?" Is our civilization only beginning to attain the level of another civilization that existed on Earth hundreds of thousands of years ago? Is there a conspiracy to withhold knowledge bequeathed to us by our superior ancestors - truths that must be kept hidden for the "good" of mankind? Are our familiar occult doctrines only fragmentary, distorted reflections of that knowledge? Do ancient Hindu writings record the story of an atomic war? Is modern science rapidly approaching the ancient knowledge that will lead to the same sort of catastrophe? Is a breakaway civilization leading us down the road to destruction, or salvation? Charroux thinks the time has come for the human race to break through the ancient veil of secrecy, and discover the truth about itself.

Start today to transform your dreams into wonderful reality. . . . Simon Potter was a "ragpicker" and salvager of human lives. When this wise and humble man departed from life, he left author Og Mandino a precious legacy: the distilled wisdom of his unique collection of the greatest books about self-motivation and success--books he called "hand of God" books because they seemed to have been written with God's hand guiding the author's own. In this tender and inspiring book, Og shares with his millions of readers his old friend's bequest. It is nothing less than a blueprint for success, telling us in plain language exactly what we must do to mount the seven rungs of life's ladder--from material achievement and worldly success to the highest spiritual development. Whatever your most cherished dream may be, Og and his good angel Simon will show you the way to bring it within reach.

Crying has fascinated mankind for millenia. Since ancient times, we have known that emotional tears are a unique human characteristic. Unsurprisingly, over hundreds of years, scholars from different backgrounds have speculated about the origin and functions of human tears. According to Charles Darwin, tears fulfilled no adaptive function. And yet, this seems in sharp contrast to statements in the popular media about the significance of crying. Crying is thought to bring relief and is considered healthy - and withholding tears unhealthy. In addition, tears have been said to inhibit aggression in assaulters and to promote social bonding. Perhaps that could explain why tears have been so important in our evolution. Ad Vingerhoets is one of the few scientists in the world to have studied crying. He examines in Why only humans weep which claims about crying are scientifically tenable - which are fact and which are fiction? Though a psychologist, he doesn't just restrict himself to the current psychological literature, but also explores work in evolutionary biology, neurosciences, theology, art, history, and anthropology to provide an integrated perspective on this complex phenomenon. Written throughout in an academically accessible style, this book is groundbreaking in contributing to a modern scientific understanding of crying. It will have broad appeal to psychologists, psychiatrists, philosophers, biologists, and anthropologists.
