"A brief overview of the Eagle and the Condor prophecy with photographs taken from an action at Standing Rock."--Brown Recluse Zine Distro description.

The Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor was conceived for peace but turned to a warlike purpose savaging convoys bringing vital supplies to Britain. The aircraft Churchill called "the scourge of the Atlantic" became synonymous with the struggle to supply the Allies by sea. As a truly long-range reconnaissance bomber, the Condor acted as the eyes and ears of the Kriegsmarine, while packing a powerful punch itself. As the Allies stepped up their efforts to address the vulnerability of their convoys to aerial reconnaissance and attack, however, the Fw 200's weaknesses became ever more apparent.Naval aviation author Matthew Willis tackles the career of the feared aircraft, from its beginnings as a cutting-edge airliner, through its early development into a military transport and a maritime bomber and 'spyplane', including the addition of ever more armament and technology such as radar and the carriage of radio-controlled glider bombs. From the expanses of the Atlantic, via the freezing Arctic seas to the heat and dust of North Africa, the operational history of the Fw 200 is examined.

“A heart-stopping saga of the rescue from the very brink of extinction of one of the grandest of all birds.”—Thomas Lovejoy, president of the Amazon Biodiversity Center. RETURN OF THE CONDOR is the riveting account of one of the most dramatic attempts to save a species from extinction in the history of modern conservation. Features a new Afterword by the author. With the condor’s population down to only twenty-two birds in the 1980s and their very survival in doubt, the condor recovery team flouted conventional wisdom and pursued a controversial strategy to pull the bird back from the brink of extinction. Thus began the ongoing, decades-long program to reestablish America’s largest bird in its ancient home in Western skies. Award-winning science writer John Moir takes readers into the backcountry to get to know the recovery program scientists as well as some of the individual condors. These are stories of peril, uncertainty, and controversy. Woven throughout these tales of heartbreak and triumph is the extraordinary dedication of the humans who have sometimes risked their lives for this charismatic, intelligent, and social bird. Despite the program’s remarkable successes, the condor’s narrative is still unfolding with a number of challenges remaining. This includes the dilemma of lead poisoning among free-flying condors that is a major obstacle to the bird’s recovery. The new Afterword presents a compelling examination of the progress and continuing adversity facing the condor recovery effort since the first edition of the book was published.

In this extensive work that expert reviewers have called a "treatise" and a "thesis," Duran reflects on more than a decade of exploring the relationship between modern physics, particularly physical cosmology, and the knowledge and beliefs of Indigenous Peoples-descendants of the earliest human populations which survive in each area of the earth-who have always embraced a land ethic because the Earth sustains all life. The connection to the land is what renders this relationship crucially important at this time in human history when we direly need something that can inspire and unite the world's peoples and governments in a common cause that focuses on the welfare of future generations as well as our own. This book presents such a possibility. It is intended for readers from all backgrounds but should be of particular interest to those in science. It proposes a paradigm that is based on the sacredness of the web of life, is free of religion yet intensely spiritual, and is premised on the belief that there is a link between a correct understanding of nature and the proper way to live-a tenet long held by Indigenous peoples, as well as some of the early Greek masters of wisdom from the fifth century BCE, but was unfortunately abandoned by Western culture. Modern physics has revealed facts and mysteries about the Universe that are spiritually significant to tribal peoples whose worldviews contrast widely with Western culture's assumptions and practice of science. Whereas the non-intuitive nature of quantum theory is considered a paradox in physics, the concepts that such behavior represents are very similar to those which arise out of Native American paradigms. Using his identity and experience as a Native American with a substantial background in physics, coupled with his incisive and intense yet personal way of communicating, Duran has produced a book that uniquely links together important truths which others have missed.
