Memoirs of a Psychic Spy by Joseph McMoneagle Pdf

Joseph McMoneagle was Remote Viewer 001 in the Army?s Stargate Project - a top secret intelligence-gathering initiative launched at the height of the Cold War - and Memoirs of a Psychic Spy recounts his distinguished military career as well as his work with scientists who tested his abilities in the lab. Some of his achievements include: He described the interior of a top-secret Soviet manufacturing plant and accurately predicted a new class of submarine under construction there. He sketched the location and described the thoughts of a kidnapped U.S. Army General being held by the Red Brigade in Northern Italy. Nearly a year in advance he accurately predicted when Skylab would leave orbit and where it would impact on the Earth?s surface. After conventional reconnaissance failed, he and others were able to locate a downed Soviet bomber that had been carrying nuclear materials. He achieved these results using scientifically designed and tested double-blind protocols. And in the years since his retirement he has continued to demonstrate these abilities on camera for national television in three countries, in the lab at the famed Monroe Institute, and for private companies.Are his abilities a natural gift, or taught? Was it his largely unsuspected psychic ability that helped keep him alive in Vietnam, and aided in his invaluable contributions to the cold war effort, that made McMoneagle a first-class remote viewer? How much did he owe to his near-death experience in the 1970s? And why would he give up a safe and distinguished career as an advisor to the Commanding General of the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command to become Remote Viewer 001? This is his story.

The Woman Who Can't Forget by Jill Price Pdf

Jill Price has the first diagnosed case of a memory condition called "hyperthymestic syndrome" -- the continuous, automatic, autobiographical recall of every day of her life since she was fourteen. Give her any date from that year on, and she can almost instantly tell you what day of the week it was, what she did on that day, and any major world event or cultural happening that took place, as long as she heard about it that day. Her memories are like scenes from home movies, constantly playing in her head, backward and forward, through the years; not only does she make no effort to call her memories to mind, she cannot stop them. The Woman Who Can't Forgetis the beautifully written and moving story of Jill's quest to come to terms with her extraordinary memory, living with a condition that no one understood, including her, until the scientific team who studied her finally charted the extraordinary terrain of her abilities. As we learn of Jill's struggles first to realize how unusual her memory is and then to contend, as she grows up, with the unique challenges of not being able to forget -- remembering both the good times and the bad, the joyous and the devastating, in such vivid and insistent detail -- the way her memory works is contrasted to a wealth of discoveries about the workings of normal human memory and normal human forgetting. Intriguing light is shed on the vital role of what's called "motivated forgetting"; as well as theories about childhood amnesia, the loss of memory for the first two to three years of our lives; the emotional content of memories; and the way in which autobiographical memories are normally crafted into an ever-evolving and empowering life story.

1000 Years of Memories by I. Cohen Pdf

Everyone has a story and each story can enrich our lives. With that in mind, you are going to read the stories of individuals who have reached the magic age of one hundred or beyond. One of the first questions I asked each person I interviewed was, "what is the earliest thing you remember?" Think about it - -"what is the first thing you remember?" If you are 20 years old, you may remember the dedication of the World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. If you are 40 you may recall the launch of STS-1 Columbia Space Craft. If you are 60 to 65 your first remembrances might be the assassination of President Kennedy, the Vietnam War or perhaps the Beatles. If you are 80, you certainly may remember Pearl Harbor and World War II. And if you are 90, the great depression of the 1930's is something that you could never forget. To jog your memory take a look at the following list of some significant events highlighting the last 100 years.

Mat Memories by John “Alexander” Arezzi,Greg Oliver Pdf

A man with three different names ties together the stars of professional wrestling, country music, and the New York Mets. John Arezzi was a lifelong Mets fan who dreamed of a job in baseball. In 1981, he took a job with the Mets Class A team in North Carolina. But Arezzi had another love: professional wrestling. He ran a fan club for the villainous “Classy” Freddie Blassie as a teenager, then progressed to wrestling photographer, and finally even stepped into the ring himself as John Anthony. Eventually he escaped to pursue a new life in altogether different world: country music. After adopting a new name, John Alexander, his many accomplishments include discovering both Patty Loveless and (decades later) Kelsea Ballerini. But wrestling is tough to shake … In the 1990s, Arezzi hosted the pioneering radio talk show Pro Wrestling Spotlight. He also ran the first major conventions, assembling a wrestling who’s who to meet with fans. He promoted shows, both at home and abroad, and was a key figure behind importing lucha libre into America. Mat Memories is Arezzi’s chance to hold the mic, and he holds nothing back — he names names and tells the untold behind-the-scenes stories: from the ring, the stage, and the diamond.

The Remarkable Life of the Skin by Monty Lyman Pdf

This “seriously entertaining book” explores the skin in its multifaceted physical, psychological, and social aspects (Times, UK). Providing a cover for our delicate bodies, the skin is our largest and fastest-growing organ. We see it, touch it, and live in it every day. It is a habitat for a mesmerizingly complex world of micro-organisms and physical functions that are vital to our health and survival. One of the first things people see about us, skin is also crucial to our sense of identity. And yet much about it is largely unknown to us. With rigorous research and lucid prose, Monty Lyman explores our outer surface through the lenses of science, sociology, and history. He covers topics as diverse as the mechanics and magic of touch (how much goes on in the simple act of taking keys out of a pocket and unlocking a door is astounding), the close connection between the skin and the gut, what happens instantly when one gets a paper cut, and how a midnight snack can lead to sunburn. The Remarkable Life of the Skin takes readers on a journey across our most underrated and unexplored organ. It reveals how our skin is far stranger, more wondrous, and more complex than we have ever imagined.

A Long Way to Paradise by Robert A.J. McDonald Pdf

The political landscape of British Columbia has been characterized by divisiveness since Confederation. But why and how did it become Canada’s most fractious province? A Long Way to Paradise traces the evolution of political ideas in the province from 1871 to 1972, exploring British Columbia’s journey to socio-political maturity. Robert McDonald explains its classic left-right divide as a product of “common sense” liberalism that also shaped how British Columbians met the demands and challenges of a modernizing world. This lively, richly detailed overview provides fresh insight into the fascinating story of provincial politics in Canada’s lotus land.

Finding My Banana Bread Man by John R. Davis Pdf

When a person you love is terminally ill, you wish and wish for their pain to go away. You even pray for it. Then the cold reality of death stares you in the face, and you start praying for something new - one more day with them, one more hour, one more minute - and you would give anything to have it. When John R. Davis lost his life partner - fondly called his Banana Bread Man - to brain cancer, he also lost himself. He wondered how his world could ever be anything other than gray. Jack had been the one to bring color into his life. How could Davis expect to experience joy again without his mate of twenty-seven years? How would he survive the loss of Jack's magnanimous presence? Did he even want to survive? Finding My Banana Bread Man is a love story that: * guides people mourning the loss of a loved one * takes them through shock, despair, and loneliness * inspires all those who support them in their life-changing journeys Embracing his partner's memory through "tiny deeds of good action," poetry, letters, and scholarships helped Davis transcend grief. More than that, he was finally able to reconnect with the person he used to be before Jack died. Today, he dedicates his life to helping those who are suffering after the premature deaths of their spouses, mates, or partners. http: //www.findingmybananabreadman.com
