Book excerpt: In spite of of the fact that the international media did not mention since the end of WW2, Italy's contribution to world ufology was really important from both the qualitative and quantitative points of view. Unfortunately, Italian is not easily understood in today's English-speaking world. So, beyond this limiting language barrier, Dr. Roberto Pinotti, as the main and most representative Italian ufologist with his Centro Ufologico Nazionale (CUN) that he established in 1967, took care of presenting in English a vast and detailed selection of 120 years (1900-2020) of the best UFO cases occurred in his country in his two illustrated volumes UFO CONTACTS IN ITALY (volumes one & two). But this was not enough for him. For historical, geographical, cultural and religious reasons and as the center of the ancient world unified first by the Roman Empire and then by the Catholic Church, Rome and Italy inherited the ancient traditions of the Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan, Hebrew and Christian cultures and their synthesis, and since the Middle Ages defended all this from the Barbarians' and and others as well, playing a central role in the world's civilization. In fact, according to the 2019 UNESCO World Heritage Convention, Italy has a total of 55 inscribed properties, making it the state party with the most World Heritage Sites, along with China. So no wonder if Italy proved to be also a real historical and cultural crossroad also for ufology yesterday and today. From the case of the Egyptian so-called Tulli Papyrus to the "The Book of Prodigies" of the Roman historian Julius Obsequens and the Roman coins showing purported UFOs from Caesar to Pertinax ; from Italian Middle Ages chronicles to the Renaissance, with some of its protagonists involved in the subject with their works and personal witnesses as well; from pre-1947 sightings including the "Fascist UFO Files" indicating Italy as the first country whose government faced the UFO problem to Pinotti's privileged confidential link since the sixties with Soviet researchers, from A. P. Kazantsev to the 1994 disclosure of the KGB UFO dossier; from the surprising roles of contactees George Hunt Williamson and George Adamski in Italy to the intriguing "Amicizia" mass contact experience story; from Pinotti's studies about the BVM (Blessed Virgin Mary) UFO-like phenomena to the gradual disclosure-oriented approach of the Vatican since the Fifties, from Catholic theologians and Specola Vaticana astronomers to Roman Pontiffs up to Pope Francis; from US General MacArthur's unexpected statements in Naples in the Fifties about a possible future war with aliens to the President of the Republic of Italy's classified 1963 UFO case shared with the Pentagon; from Pinotti's role in Italian aerospace research and SETI to his surprising academic paper about Indo-Aryan UFO-like Vimanas presented in the International Astronautical Federation Congress in 1988; from CUN's involvement with France's GEPAN to Pinotti's House of Lords talk in 1980; fromProf. Thayaht's pioneer studies about the UFO "PSI effect" in the fifties to the attempts since the nineties of Italian members of the European Parliament Regge, Musumeci and Borghezio to obtain an EU UFO disclosure; and from CUN's meeting and co-operation with Luis Elizondo in 2018 to Pinotti's involvement with the San Marino Government-sponsored CUN UFO WORLD SYMPOSIUM with its 30 editions up to his personal role in the 2018-2019 Chinese UNO UFO initiative and in ICER's present United Nations disclosure project. All this shows Italy was really a sort of catalyzer for international ufology, and that the title TIMELESS UFO CONTACTS IN ITALY for Pinotti's book surely fits the situation.

Book excerpt: This is just a limited selection of some of the most impressive and interesting events from over 12,000 UFO Italian cases CUN has in its files and occurred in Italy during the 20th century. Apart from conventional UFO sightings and close encounters of the first kind, in particular CUN investigated at least 1,000 Italian close encounters of the second and third kind and abduction cases, showing the constant, intelligent and alien nature of UFO phenomena also in our Country. This first volume draws no conclusion about the specific nature and intent of the non-terrestrial entities controlling UFOs. We shall try to do this, as far as possible, at the end of the second volume of this book.

Book excerpt: The second volume of UFO CONTACTS IN ITALY includes a complete round up of UFO sightings and events from 1979 to 2020.After the incredible 1978-1979 Italian UFO wave with more than 2,000 reports, the Italian Government decided to face the UFO phenomena officially, and since then the Italian Air Force was charged to take care of the subject, as shown by official military documents obtained by Centro Ufologico Nazionale (CUN), who had a public primary role in all this. In 1979 a UFO photographed by an Italian Air Force jet fighter pilot over Treviso and a gigantic USO observed in the Tyrrhenian Seawere the most important cases investigated by CUN.In the 1980's, after the author's requested UFO presentation in the House of Lords in London and the death of Italian UFO pioneer Consul Alberto Perego, several sightings, landings and close encounters were reported all over the peninsula. In this decade we also had a division in Centro Ufologico Nazionale with the creation of the skeptical Centro Italiano Studi Ufologici (CISU), and Pinotti's successful academic papers mentioning UFOs officially presented in Brighton (UK) and Bangalore (India), respectively during the International astronauitical Federation's congresses in 1987 and 1988.The 1990's started with an Alitalia near missover Kent and Soviet astronaut Gennady Strekhalov's admissions about his UFO space sighting during a congress in Italy, and then developed with landings, traces, near-crashes,flying humanoids,the Italian action of Tullio Regge in the European Parliament and the World UFO Symposium in San Marino, a frame in which events such as the Soviet KGB UFO dossier, the Santilli footage and Europe's first UFO postage stamp manifested themselves. In this decade we had also important genuine UFO photographs, secret UFO documents, UFOs monitoring NATO bases in Italy, a huge UFO encyclopaedia made in Italy, important statements from the Vatican and even an Intelligence attempt to destabilize CUN in order to stop its positive international action.The first ten years of the new millennium began with the official Italian Air Force UFO data and the unexpected Mussolini's Fascist UFO files, more sightings everywhere and the incredible endless saga with mysterious fires, UFOs and USOs at Caronia in Sicily, where at last authorities preferred to deny the evidence of the UFO presence behind these phenomena. Then we had a new Italian proposal about UFOs in the European Union Parliament and the University of Calabria's 1st International Symposium on Exobiology, Ufology and Exopolitics with speakers from all over the world co-ordinated by the author.The second decade of this century started with a new Italian call for an end to UFO secrecy in the European Parliament, CUN's requested lecture about UFOs and E.T. in the Vatican City, Italy represented by the author at the Citizens Hearing on Disclosure in Washington D.C. organized by political activist Steven Bassett, a new postage stamp issued to commemorate 20 years of the world UFO Symposium in San Marino and the sighting of an alien light probe. Besides this, we had Pope Francis 'speech about aliens, Pinotti's unexpected trip to Moscow and Gen. Savin's purported Russian ET contacts, the author's speeches in Brazil and at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences Conference in Sofia, Luis Elizondo and Tom Delonge were welcome CUN's guests in Rome, the collapse of the Chinese United Nations initiative for UFO and alien disclosure from Chongqing to Moscow and CUN's UN perspective after the author's contacts in Hong Kong, Barcelona, Roswell and Russia again. Last but not least, in 2020 also a huge cylindrical "mothership" and a "daylight disc" hovering over the Etna volcano in Sicily and the 28th edition of CUN's World UFO Symposium from San Marino on the internet in spite of the international COVID 19 contagion.

Book excerpt: Mass Contacts is an astounding story that says that Contact has begun from one who knows. A detailed report of contacts with human type aliens on the Adriatic coast, which answers many of our questions, this book is a milestone for ufologists wh study Contact. They were here and many look like us! It's time for disclosure. Paola Leopizzi Harris-Researcher and Author: Connecting the Dots; Making Sense of UFO Phenomena; Exopolitics: How Does One Speak to a Ball of Light? This book is a true milestone in the spreading of the reality of contacts between our humanity and extraterrestrials, both in the past and now; it gives rise to vital importants, hints in order to understand the epoch-making events that are waiting for us, and inteat with them in the best way. Tom Bosco-NEXUS Magazine-Edizione Italiana Eng. Stefani Breccia and I are friends, and have been responsible keepers of truths that not always were sharable with other people. Both of us have dedicated a significant part of our lives to UFO's, myself trying to spread this reality in the best way. Stefano trying to understand its roots, both being aware of how important the phenomenon is. And so I have acted as a midwife to the important result of Stefano's work, being convinced that reading this book is at the same time necessary and useful. Roberto Pinotti-Director, Centro Ufologico Nationale (CUN), Italy This book, based upon memories of experiences covering a period of many years, is charming above all for it concerns the contact, first, and then the coexistence of humans and aliens, working toward a single goal. Paolo Di Girolama-Professor and writer.

This book was released on 2017-09-27 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of LSD told by a concerned yet hopeful father, organic chemist Albert Hofmann, Ph.D. He traces LSD's path from a promising psychiatric research medicine to a recreational drug sparking hysteria and prohibition. In LSD: My Problem Child, we follow Dr. Hofmann's trek across Mexico to discover sacred plants related to LSD, and listen in as he corresponds with other notable figures about his remarkable discovery. Underlying it all is Dr. Hofmann's powerful conclusion that mystical experiences may be our planet's best hope for survival. Whether induced by LSD, meditation, or arising spontaneously, such experiences help us to comprehend "the wonder, the mystery of the divine, in the microcosm of the atom, in the macrocosm of the spiral nebula, in the seeds of plants, in the body and soul of people." More than sixty years after the birth of Albert Hofmann's problem child, his vision of its true potential is more relevant, and more needed, than ever.

Book excerpt: This is American history they don’t teach you in class: Discover the “fascinating, funny” stories of the states that never were, from Texlahoma to West Florida (The New Yorker) Everyone knows the fifty nifty united states—but what about the hundreds of other statehood proposals that never came to pass? Lost States is a tribute to such great unrealized dreams as West Florida, Texlahoma, Montezuma, Rough and Ready, and Yazoo. Some of these states came remarkably close to joining the Union. Others never had a chance. Many are still trying. Consider: Frontier legend Daniel Boone once proposed a state of Transylvania in the Appalachian wilderness. His plan was resurrected a few years later with the new name of Kentucky. Residents of bucolic South Jersey wanted to secede from their urban north Jersey neighbors and form the fifty-first state. The Gold Rush territory of Nataqua could have made a fine state—but since no women were willing to live there, the settlers gave up and joined California. Each story offers a fascinating glimpse at the nation we might have become—along with plenty of absurd characters, bureaucratic red tape, and political gamesmanship. Accompanying these tales are beautifully rendered maps detailing the proposed state boundaries, plus images of real-life artifacts and ephemera. Welcome to the world of Lost States!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate book on the worldwide movement of hackers, pranksters, and activists collectively known as Anonymous—by the writer the Huffington Post says “knows all of Anonymous’ deepest, darkest secrets” “A work of anthropology that sometimes echoes a John le Carré novel.” —Wired Half a dozen years ago, anthropologist Gabriella Coleman set out to study the rise of this global phenomenon just as some of its members were turning to political protest and dangerous disruption (before Anonymous shot to fame as a key player in the battles over WikiLeaks, the Arab Spring, and Occupy Wall Street). She ended up becoming so closely connected to Anonymous that the tricky story of her inside–outside status as Anon confidante, interpreter, and erstwhile mouthpiece forms one of the themes of this witty and entirely engrossing book. The narrative brims with details unearthed from within a notoriously mysterious subculture, whose semi-legendary tricksters—such as Topiary, tflow, Anachaos, and Sabu—emerge as complex, diverse, politically and culturally sophisticated people. Propelled by years of chats and encounters with a multitude of hackers, including imprisoned activist Jeremy Hammond and the double agent who helped put him away, Hector Monsegur, Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy is filled with insights into the meaning of digital activism and little understood facets of culture in the Internet age, including the history of “trolling,” the ethics and metaphysics of hacking, and the origins and manifold meanings of “the lulz.”

Book excerpt: Global Nomads provides a unique introduction to the globalization of countercultures, a topic largely unknown in and outside academia. Anthony D’Andrea examines the social life of mobile expatriates who live within a global circuit of countercultural practice in paradoxical paradises. Based on nomadic fieldwork across Spain and India, the study analyzes how and why these post-metropolitan subjects reject the homeland in order to shape an alternative lifestyle. They become artists, therapists, exotic traders and bohemian workers seeking to integrate labor, mobility and spirituality within a cosmopolitan culture of expressive individualism. These countercultural formations, however, unfold under neo-liberal regimes that appropriate utopian spaces, practices and imaginaries as commodities for tourism, entertainment and media consumption. In order to understand the paradoxical globalization of countercultures, Global Nomads develops a dialogue between global and critical studies by introducing the concept of 'neo-nomadism' which seeks to overcome some of the shortcomings in studies of globalization. This book is an essential aide for undergraduate, postgraduate and research students of Sociology, Anthropology of Globalization, Cultural Studies and Tourism Studies.

Book excerpt: “McGonigal is a clear, methodical writer, and her ideas are well argued. Assertions are backed by countless psychological studies.” —The Boston Globe “Powerful and provocative . . . McGonigal makes a persuasive case that games have a lot to teach us about how to make our lives, and the world, better.” —San Jose Mercury News “Jane McGonigal's insights have the elegant, compact, deadly simplicity of plutonium, and the same explosive force.” —Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother A visionary game designer reveals how we can harness the power of games to boost global happiness. With 174 million gamers in the United States alone, we now live in a world where every generation will be a gamer generation. But why, Jane McGonigal asks, should games be used for escapist entertainment alone? In this groundbreaking book, she shows how we can leverage the power of games to fix what is wrong with the real world-from social problems like depression and obesity to global issues like poverty and climate change-and introduces us to cutting-edge games that are already changing the business, education, and nonprofit worlds. Written for gamers and non-gamers alike, Reality Is Broken shows that the future will belong to those who can understand, design, and play games. Jane McGonigal is also the author of SuperBetter: A Revolutionary Approach to Getting Stronger, Happier, Braver and More Resilient.

Book excerpt: The second volume of writings by Los Angeles artist Mike Kelley, focusing on his own work. What John C. Welchman calls the "blazing network of focused conflations" from which Mike Kelley's styles are generated is on display in all its diversity in this second volume of the artist's writings. The first volume, Foul Perfection, contained thematic essays and writings about other artists; this collection concentrates on Kelley's own work, ranging from texts in "voices" that grew out of scripts for performance pieces to expository critical and autobiographical writings.Minor Histories organizes Kelley's writings into five sections. "Statements" consists of twenty pieces produced between 1984 and 2002 (most of which were written to accompany exhibitions), including "Ajax," which draws on Homer, Colgate- Palmolive, and Longinus to present its eponymous hero; "Some Aesthetic High Points," an exercise in autobiography that counters the standard artist bio included in catalogs and press releases; and a sequence of "creative writings" that use mass cultural tropes in concert with high art mannerisms—approximating in prose the visual styles that characterize Kelley's artwork. "Video Statements and Proposals" are introductions to videos made by Kelley and other artists, including Paul McCarthy and Bob Flanagan and Sheree Rose. "Image-Texts" offers writings that accompany or are part of artworks and installations. This section includes "A Stopgap Measure," Kelley's zestful millennial essay in social satire, and "Meet John Doe," a collage of appropriated texts. "Architecture" features an discussion of Kelley's Educational Complex (1995) and an interview in which he reflects on the role of architecture in his work. Finally, "Ufology" considers the aesthetics and sexuality of space as manifested by UFO sightings and abduction scenarios.

Book excerpt: From handshakes and toasts to chant and genuflection, ritual pervades our social interactions and religious practices. Still, few of us could identify all of our daily and festal ritual behaviors, much less explain them to an outsider. Similarly, because of the variety of activities that qualify as ritual and their many contradictory yet, in many ways, equally legitimate interpretations, ritual seems to elude any systematic historical and comparative scrutiny. In this book, Catherine Bell offers a practical introduction to ritual practice and its study; she surveys the most influential theories of religion and ritual, the major categories of ritual activity, and the key debates that have shaped our understanding of ritualism. Bell refuses to nail down ritual with any one definition or understanding. Instead, her purpose is to reveal how definitions emerge and evolve and to help us become more familiar with the interplay of tradition, exigency, and self-expression that goes into constructing this complex social medium.
