America
NASA Mooned America
Kak NASA pokazalo Amerike Lunu [perevod s angliiskogo]
$26.00
Rene, R.
Did American Astronauts really travel to the moon? The question arises time
and again, engaging the minds on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. An everincreasing number of skeptics point to inconsistencies in the official version
from NASA and that many facts of the American lunar missions remain
classified. There is another view: That NASA representatives – for some secret
purpose--are spreading rumors that the moon landing was a pure hoax. But
why would they do such a thing? During the Cold War, The two great powers
and their struggle for supremacy in space exploration was unusually fierce, and
each country aimed to win the space race at any cost. Many of the mysteries of
that terrible time have never been disclosed – until now! American engineer,
researcher, and writer Ralph Rene, dissatisfied with such explanations, takes on
the American Space Agency, peeling back the layers of secrecy. If you are
interested in some hidden history of America’s space program, this book is for
you... Translated from English. 256 p. ENAS: Moscow, 2009. ISBN:

Alan Alford, the famous English explorer and writer,
put forth a new theory about the creation of the

Great Pyramid was a monument to the act of
creation. Built as a symbol of the rebirth of the
universe, they buried Pharaohm, seen as a Diety
beneath it to symbolize dying and rebirth to eternal
life. To prove his theory, Alford indicates analyses
the untouched burial chamber of Cheops. Hidden
in a distant and secluded area of the monument, this
chamber has been almost completely ignored by
archaeologists. If this theory is correct, scientists will have
to reconsider the many of Egyptology’s most treasured
ideas. Translated from English. 400 p. Veche: Moscow,

10 Myths about Ukraine

When Gogol’s “Taras Bulba” was called “The Little

seemed at first glance. On the scale of events and the
tragic fates the history of the Ukraine is quite
comparable to the Homeric era - and is mythology
just as vibrant. The myths of Russia and the Ukraine
the Polish and Jewish myths Cossack and Swedish
myths are so closely intertwined that it is difficult for
the Ukraine to untangle this knot, to separate fantasy
from reality. The new book analyses the most popular
of these myths, the most defining, critical, and key
themes of the history of the Ukraine - from the collapse
of Slavic unity to Pereiaslav Rada from the Polish
yoke to the Revolution and the Famine from Mazeppa
to Yushchenko from the Battle of Poltava to the Orange

from antiquity to the avant-garde. The essays
selected by the author show an overwhelming

hand a part of European culture, and on the
other hand, Russian art has always been possessed
of extraordinary originality. “The most typical

Russian universalism. The art, created by the
Russian people is the moral force that aids
people in all difficult circumstances...” 480 p.
