Resumen del Editor
In the sequestered expanses of the Nevada desert, Area 51 silently veils its secrets beneath layers of history and silent machinations. This mysterious base, obscured by both physical desolation and governmental silence, emerges as the nerve center for the CIA’s Office of Special Activities, playing host to a plethora of audacious covert projects. From the high-soaring U-2 to the blisteringly fast A-12, the United States engineered marvels of technology and espionage beneath the unassailable secrecy of its protective shroud.
Navigate through the clandestine alleys of the Cold War, where the US and the USSR engaged not only in a physical race of arms but an intense, covert battle of wits, technology, and espionage. Witness the birth and flight of audacious projects like Aquatone and Oxcart, which, in defying the conventions of their era, lifted the veil shrouding the ominous activities behind the Iron Curtain. With each soaring altitude and clandestine operation, unveil the elusive secrets once immaculately concealed from the public eye.
Author TD Barnes, an Area 51 veteran, delves deep, presenting a rich tapestry that intertwines gripping tales of aeronautical ingenuity, covert operations, and the relentless spirit of the individuals who dared to venture beyond the known horizons of their time. Beyond the Horizon is not merely a recitation of historical projects and missions but a poignant exploration into the lives of the dreamers, engineers, pilots, and unsung heroes whose endeavors ensured that these spectral projects not only took flight but also navigated through the turbulent skies of political and military upheaval.
This book is a meticulous unearthing and careful stitching together of declassified information, first-hand accounts, and archival research, providing a comprehensive, unobstructed view into the astonishing endeavors undertaken at Area 51. It is a saga that uncloaks the secrecy and unveils the ingenuity, determination, and indomitable spirit that silently sculpted history from the hallowed halls of Area 51.
Embark on a journey that transcends history, technology, and espionage, exploring the depths of human determination and the enigmatic shadows that have, until now, gently enveloped the truths of Area 51.
Beyond the Horizon is more than a historical account—it is an homage to human ingenuity and resilience, ensuring that the shrouded endeavors of yesteryears find their place in the annals of history, celebrated, acknowledged, and forever remembered.

Historia
In weeks after the September 11 attacks, 18-year-old Mansoor Adayfi was kidnapped by Afghan militia and sold to US forces for bounty money. After months of interrogations, he was sent to the US military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as one of its first prisoners. Like the nearly 800 other men imprisoned at Guantanamo, Adayfi didn’t know why he was imprisoned or for how long. He had never seen a skyscraper and couldn’t imagine what the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center looked like, much less how they were destroyed.

On the face of it, a simple book of 26 poem fables sharing one man’s wisdom. But The Prophet is so much more than that. It has inspired people from John F Kennedy to The Beatles and became the '60s Bible of counterculture – all because of the timeless truths it shared. Each poem takes a different theme – pleasure, beauty, freedom, joy and sorrow – as the fictional Al Mustapha shares his thoughts and experiences as he prepares to travel back to his island home.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.
