Next Ice Age: Tomorrow [MultiFormat]
by John T. Cullen
|
|
 Global warming is a reality, not for the first time in the past 130,000 years. The only question is how much of it is caused by nature, and how much by mankind. We examine the counterintuitive possibility that global warming may lead to an ice age, starting as early as our lifetimes. Our current epoch, the Holocene, began about 12,000 years ago. The Holocene has witnessed at least two warming episodes and several coolings. The European Medieval Warming Period was an anomaly lasting from 850 to 1... more info>> (Published: 2009)

The First Reich, or Holy Roman Empire [MultiFormat]
by John T. Cullen
|
|
When Adolf Hitler promised the German nation he would make them in to a thousand year Reich, a Third Reich, he was not just chattering. He was a shrewd manipulator of public opinion, who recognized the suffering of his adopted people (he was Austrian, not German) after their massive losses and defeat in World War I. He made many promises, including a return to the original First Reich--the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. This article traces the history of the First Reich, and its surpris... more info>> (Published: 2009)

Understanding Titles and Ranks of Nobility [MultiFormat]
by John T. Cullen

Why does Marie von Reibnitz Kent go by the monicker of Princess Michael? If you've ever wondered what the difference is between a duke, a grand duke, or an arch duke--and how and why such things came to be, here are some answers. It turns out that the ranks and titles of nobility follow a strict hierarchy that cuts across national boundaries and dates back to medieval and ancient times. As to military ranks, what is a field marshal? What's a five star general? Who is the second highest military ... more info>> (Published: 2009)

The Paris Gun of 1918, and The Century Leading To It [MultiFormat]
by John T. Cullen
|
|
Alone in the annals of history stands a super-weapon that terrorized Paris during Germany's last desperate campaign to win World War I. The Paris Gun was a marvel of technology. It required the work of astronomers, geographers, physicists, chemists, and other scientific experts to create a weapon that could fire on Paris from behind German lines--a range of 81 miles (130 kilometers). The shell traveled through the edge of space, and calculations had to be made to account for the earth's rotation... more info>> (Published: 2009)

The Very Last Day of the Eastern Roman Empire (And The 1,480 Years Leading To It) [MultiFormat]
by John T. Cullen

May 29, 1453: one of the world's great empires breathed its last breath and died under a pounding by the world's first super siege gun. That empire was the ancient Roman Empire--its surviving Eastern half, which outlived the Rome of the West by a thousand years. The people of Constantinople wouldn't know what 'Byzantine' meant--they considered themselves to be Romans. Orban's great bombard, named Basilica, pounded the impregnable walls for weeks. It was capable of tossing stone balls weighing ne... more info>>

Virginal Huntress/Warrior: Her Undying Ice Age Cult [MultiFormat]
by John T. Cullen

Fierce and beautiful, she still today brings with her a breath of Ice Age mystery. With minor variations, she is Athena, Joan of Arc, Marianne of the Barricades, and Rosie the Riveter. The Ionians worshipped her since at least Neolithic times. When the Greeks founded the chief city of Attica during the Iron Age, they named their city after her: Athens. Atop the city's high hill, they created a sanctuary dedicated to her, and named its chief temple the Parthenon, which means Temple of the Virgin.... more info>> (Published: 2009)

Holocene Mysteries [MultiFormat]

What really happened during that early twilight zone of human existence--after the last Ice Age, but before people started writing things down? We live in an epoch called the Holocene, which began about 12,000 years ago, and of which we know relatively little except for the past 6,000 years since writing was invented. But there are mysterious megaliths around the world, and strange cities built by skull cultists who kept their dead around--and other evidence that all is not what we may think.

It also became the subject of a famous ghost legend at the fabulous Hotel del Coronado, persisting to this very day. Solved at last, the enigma proves that truth is far stranger than fiction. It is not only a story of passion and violence, conspiracy and betrayal. It is an epic tragedy that transcends times and cultures, and strikes as hard today as it might have in the 19th Century, had anyo... more info>> (Published: 2009)

Crisis Among The Stars: Dawning Revolution in Cosmology [MultiFormat]

The author proposes a dramatic new conjecture to explain dark matter, dark energy, and the accelerating expansion of the universe. These three baffling mysteries are signaling the need for a new revolution in cosmology. Only a century ago, the great debate was whether the sun was the center of the universe, and if the Milky Way was the entire universe. Edwin Hubble helped confirm, only in the 1920s, that our galaxy is one of many, and that the universe is expanding. This article traces the histo... more info>> (Published: 2009)

"In this masterpiece by Dennis Latham, David Bean sits on a bridge contemplating the darkly swirling river below. He is joined by Carl, a desperate man. The drama that takes place on this bridge is one of the most memorable short stories I have ever read. Two men engage in a dance of suspense, irony, and death--I'll say no more. This is a story worthy of the masters of the classic short story form like Kipling, H. H. Munro, and Alfred Hitchcock, to name just three of the greats.
