This is the first book in the Morning Bliss trilogy. The multinational corporations have long since snapped office tower from carpark, slithered into the rising waters of global warming and evolved into magnificent living creatures. These now inhabit the great ocean, with their human staff as crew and responsible for their reproduction. Skiff, naive, wildly adventurous and feckless, works as a wage slave - fixed plant operator (oars) - in the huge young male battleship Kincazion. Hordes of battle-mad admirals, bosuns, and all types of bicep-geoffrey also inhabit this city-sized ship. Anthem, a bright and forceful young woman, blue haired, dark skinned and impossibly beautiful, lives in the vast female cathedral Mahandaahl. There she studies at the University of Engineering, an institution mainly devoted to dogmatic rote learning and deportment. She has ambitions in shipbuilding and hopes to get a job with the Committee of Dialectical Purity, which has the task of building the Cathedral's babies. Skiff escapes and, with the vile Ploode after him, aspires to be an admiral while Anthem manages to see through the rigid conformity that has suffocated the cathedral. Together they aim to get the battleship to make love to the cathedral and conceive a baby ship"

Explores the role of ETs in the military, government, technology, history, and the coming new age • Surveys contact with ETs, abductions, alien technology and exopolitics, genetic tampering by ETs, and the history behind the Nazis and UFOs • Contains interviews with Jesse Marcel, Michael Salla, Paul LaViolette, Robert Bauval, Helen Wambach, and others at the forefront of the ET-derived New Science movement The extraterrestrial presence on Earth is widening and, as we enter the Aquarian Age, will be admitted officially, causing shock and an urgent universal need to understand the social and technological changes derived from our space brothers. A primer for the explosive advances humanity will experience scientifically and spiritually in the coming years, this compendium explores the ET phenomenon and its influence on humanity past and present. The book surveys contact with ETs and abduction accounts, unexplained public and undisclosed military technology from aliens including anti-gravity devices, exopolitics (the influence of ETs in human affairs), the Iraqi Stargate, the Hybrid Project of alien interbreeding by abduction, Nazi ties to UFOS and their secret underground base in Antarctica, government cover-ups of alien interactions including Roswell, and the transformation triggered by the Hale-Bopp comet. Based on interviews with people who are witnessing the coming changes as well as those visionaries who are actually bringing them about--including John Mack, Major Jesse Marcel, Paul LaViolette, Robert Bauval, Michael Salla, and Helen Wambach--this book sketches out a breathtaking vision of the planetary revolution just around the corner.

This volume brings out the varieties of forms of philosophical skepticism that have continued to preoccupy philosophers for the past of couple of centuries, as well as the specific varieties of philosophical response that these have engendered — above all, in the work of those who have sought to take their cue from Kant, Wittgenstein, or Cavell — and to illuminate how these philosophical approaches are related to and bear upon one another. The philosophers brought together in this volume are united by the thought that a proper appreciation of the depth of the skeptical challenge must reveal it to be deeply disquieting, in the sense that skepticism threatens not just some set of theoretical commitments, but also-and fundamentally-our very sense of self, world, and other. Second, that skepticism is the proper starting point for any serious attempt to make sense of what philosophy is, and to gauge the prospects of philosophical progress.
