Iron Ball, Wooden Staff, Empty Hands
Caylor Adkins

Caylor Adkins uses three complementary modalities to teach you how to improve your structure, flow, and maneuver in any style of martial arts practice. The bottom line: Hitting harder without power.

Adkins has over 50 years of rigorous training with a bias for studying realistic combat. He has always sought broadly based sources of martial arts understanding for himself and his students beyond his original training in Shotokan Karate. His criterion is that the ideas really work. Some of the sources included in the book include:
* Ball and staff forms from Chinese masters
* Western boxing
* Russian Systema empty arm techniques
* Stick work from Balintawak Cuentada Escrima
* Experts in body structure and connection: medical physiologists, external martial arts styles, Ida Rolf structural integration, and Lu Wen Wei’s four-center (tantien) model
* Chi flow models from internal martial arts styles

The goal of the book is to transmit Adkins’ martial arts understanding to improve the technique and combat ability of his readers. He uses basic techniques, forms, and combat drills in three complementary modalities (iron ball, wooden staff, and empty hands) to explain:
* Structure: integrating the whole body and spirit to hit harder with less wasted power
* Flow: using breathing, chi, and movement initiators to move quickly and efficiently
* Maneuver: defeating a dangerous opponent by understanding focus, critical edge, disruptive techniques, and centering

Visits from the Forest People
Julie Scott

Julie Scott and the rest of the Scott family report on their experiences in Western Washington while sharing the forest surrounding their home with a group of Bigfoot, which Scott calls Forest People. The reports include several sightings and other evidence, interactions between the Scott family and the Forest People, and, amusingly, Bigfoot’s uncanny ability to avoid being photographed despite the extensive efforts of a team of Bigfoot researchers.

Daimonic Reality: A Field Guide to the Otherworld
Patrick Harpur

A brilliant look at the phenomena the mystify us, bringing together diverse areas such as fairies and UFOs, crop circles and skeptics, devils, angels, shamans, and witches. This is a wonderful book for those of you who are looking for more than another list of haunted houses or mundane ghostly tales.

Harpur says that we do not live in a purely physical reality, as many Western scientist would have us believe. Instead there is another side to our lives that Harpur calls daimonic reality. It makes room for many of the things that we know exist, but choose to ignore because we have been told they are "impossible." Putting the two realities together will make our world whole again and let us move on toward deeper understanding of the events Harpur calls daimonic.

Harpur weaves his thesis with wit and ingenuity, combining ideas of Carl Jung, the Gnostics, the Romantic poets and writers with his own insights to show us what is possible if we allow ourselves to experience our world daimonically.

The Internet Sacred Text Archive
Maintained by John Hare

"This is a quiet place in cyberspace devoted to religious tolerance and scholarship." Hundreds of public-domain sacred texts are archived here. "Sacred" is given an unusual definition at times because the books archived include two by Charles Fort and at least one on UFOs along with more expected books on Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Native American culture, and other religions and traditions. These books are also available on CD-ROM.
