It is less often pointed out, however, that our age has generated, and continues to generate, mythical material almost unparalleled in quantity and quality in the rich records of human imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore precisely, people have very frequently reported the observation of wonderful aerial objects, variously designated as flying saucers, unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and so on; among these narratives descriptions of landings made by these craft are commonplace; and that quite a few accounts purport to inform us of the physical characteristics, the psychological behaviour, and the motivation of their occupants. But investigators have neglected to recognize one important perspective of the phenomenon: the fact that beliefs identical to those held today have recurred throughout recorded history and under forms best adapted to the believer's country, race, and social regime. If we take a wide sample of this historical material, we find that it is organized around one central theme: visitation by an aerial people from one or more remote, legendary countries. The names and attributes vary, but the main idea clearly does not. Magonia, heaven, hell, Elfland - all such places have in common one characteristic: we are unable to reach them alive, except on very special occasions. Emissaries from these supernatural abodes come to earth, sometimes under human form and sometimes as monsters. They perform wonders. They serve man or fight him. They influence civilizations through mystical revelation. They seduce earth women, and the few heroes who dare seek their friendship find the girls from Elfland endowed with desires that betray a carnal, rather than purely aerial, nature.These matters are the subject of Passport to Magonia, Jacques Vallee's seminal master-work that changed our understanding of the UFO phenomenon. An instant classic when first published in 1969, the book remains a must-have resource for anybody interested in the topics of UFOs and alien contact, as well as those fascinated by fairy folklore and other paranormal encounters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacques Vallee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Daily Grail Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/23\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780987422484","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Jacques Vallee \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47280756687005,"sku":"9780987422484","price":52.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_0c6862f4-7115-4f6c-98c0-d84bcf42ecb2.jpg?v=1759920263"},{"product_id":"the-story-of-astrophysics-in-five-revolutions-9781324089278","title":"The Story of Astrophysics in Five Revolutions","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Neil Armstrong first set foot in the lunar dust, the Earth held its breath.

Following their father's death in 1484, the children were adopted by their uncle, Lukas Watzelrode, who later became bishop of Ermland. After attending the school at Torun, in 1491 Copernicus entered the University of Cracow, where he studied under Albert Brudzewski. From him Copernicus not only learned mathematics but became drawn to the new humanistic studies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 1496 Copernicus left Cracow for Italy, studying canon law, mathematics, and astronomy first at Bologna and later at Padua. After being appointed canon of the cathedral of Frauenburg in 1497, Copernicus immediately obtained a leave of absence to return to Padua to study medicine, taking his degree in 1499. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFollowing a lectureship in mathematics at Rome and doc-toral studies in canon law at Ferrara, Copernicus returned to Poland in 1506, first at Heilsberg as physician to his uncle, the bishop. Following his uncle's death in 1512, Copernicus took up residence as canonist at Frauenburg. Copernicus never took holy orders, taking only as many vows as were necessary for his duties as canonist: in this position he represented the cathedral chapter in the many disputes in which it was embroiled. He defended the chapter's rights and privileges during the war between Poland and the Teutonic Knights (1519-1521), and in 1522 he introduced a scheme for the reform of the currency before the Diet of Graudenz. Meanwhile Copernicus practiced as a physician, offering his medical services to the poor for free. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDespite his many duties as canonist and physician, Copernicus still found time for the study of astronomy. Continuing the astronomical observations begun in Italy, he sought, by a com-parative study of the ancients, to evolve from them a single sys-tem, at once simple and consistent. In 1530 Copernicus pro-vided a preliminary outline of his revolutionary heliocentric theory, with the sun at the center of the universe, in his \u003ci\u003eCommentariolus. \u003c\/i\u003eThis work attracted great attention, and supporters prevailed on Copernicus to overcome his initial reluctance to introduce a new system of the universe which flew directly in the face of established dogma and tradition. The heliocentric theory was fully expounded in Copernicus's great work, \u003ci\u003eDe revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of Heav-enly Spheres), \u003c\/i\u003epublished in 1543. Copernicus lived only long enough to see the book into print: in late 1542 he was stricken with dysentery, followed by a severe stroke which left him partly paralyzed. An advance copy of the \u003ci\u003eRevolutions \u003c\/i\u003ewas brought to Copernicus at Frauenburg on the day he died, May 24, 1543.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Nicolaus Copernicus \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47286185328797,"sku":"9781573920353","price":29.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_d03fa013-dc47-4b0c-b429-36e6c2102ee5.jpg?v=1760016592"}],"url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/collections\/science-space-science-astronomy.oembed?page=2","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
