Architects of the Underworld: Unriddling Atlantis, Anomalies of Mars, and the Mystery of the Sphinx

Book Description

In this detailed, illustrated compilation, author Bruse Rux draws on thirteen years of research on reports of extraterrestrial phenomena and cover-up conspiracies. By painstakingly following the paper trails that connect such apparently unrelated and unexplained events as crop circles, alien abductions, extraterrestrial activities, and other modern-day mysteries, the author uncovers a legacy of misinformation, denial, and official silence form government organizations. Showing the roots of this startling, hidden history of humanity predate the twentieth century by hundreds of years, Rux reveals the links between these contemporary phenomena and the legendary civilization of Atlantis, the Egyptian pyramids, the Sphinx, and the anomalies on the canal-coursed surface of Mars, including the controversial "Face."

Mysteries of the universe.......2006-03-30

Loved, loved, loved this book. Bruce Rux's research is phenomenal. This is a MUST READ for anyone interested in UFO's.

An excellent summary of a very important subject.......2005-08-26

This book is excellent, and truly represents the summation of my 25 year inquiry into Ancient Astronauts, UFOs and Paleo-civilisations which began at age 12 in 1980 when I turned away from the vicious narrowmindedness of my late father's religion, Islam, and was desparately searching for a revolutionary, yet "down to earth", i.e logical and explainable outlook on the murky and disputed subject of man's history.
With an all-encompassing conciseness I have yet to see elsewhere on this newly emerged subject of "alternate history", Rux presents the conclusion that we, mankind, are in fact the aliens here on Earth - the ones we have been eagerly searching for in other places without actually looking at ourselves to see what we really are. It was our forebears, who in previous advanced epochs now remembered only in myth, left their mark elsewhere in this solar system besides earth. Goodness knows whence we originally came; but the all-pervasive hold on human mass-emotion and behaviour by supposedly "primitive" and "irrational" mythology, sacred scriptures and "illogical" traditions shows something deeper and hidden - that collective legacy of ours. He distills the diverse and complex strands of UFO lore, conspiracy theories, Freemasonry, Atlantis/ancient civilisations, ancient astronauts, fairies and superbeings, angels and devils, the Old Testament, and New World as well as Oriental and European folklores into one clear and very logical essence. or so I see. I recommend that his book be read first, in this field which is already populated by hundreds of startling yet generally confusing books - as far as the big picture is concerned.

Rux Provides Compelling Evidence For UFOs.......2002-12-29

Bruce Rux has done a masterful job at finally bringing to light UFO research in a scientific manner. Rux compiles his research strictly from the public records and from governmental documents which have been released by the Freedom of Information Act. To question Rux's research is to question the research of some of the greatest minds in history who have studied the subject. Few people realize that people like Sir Francis Crick, Nichola Tesla, Lord Kelvin, Carl Sagan, and others, have all made statements suggesting their belief in extraterrestrial contact and connections with the planet Mars. Rux brings these statements to light for the first time in a complete study of the subject. This is a well researched book and one which should be on anyone's bookshelf who is interested in the topic.

Execrable........1999-11-28

A brief review of the other entries already here leaves me incredulous; how any rational human could come away from a reading of this book and believe for a moment that is "packed with proof" or somehow constitutes "rock-solid" or "extensive" research escapes me completely. To summarize: in this book Bruce Rux endeavors to collect a selection of "evidence" for the reality of a UFO phenomenon with an extraterrestrial, or at least super-technological, origin, to relate this UFO phenomenon to notions of "ancient astronauts," or of an advanced civilization lost in antiquity (i.e. Atlantis), and to tie the whole thing up into a coherent bundle. That he fails in this enterprise has less to do with lack of ambition than with unrestrained paranoia, with a lack of critical thinking, and of course with the poor quality of the "evidence" with which he is forced to work.

Said evidence consists, as it always does in the field of UFOlogy, with personal accounts, with testimony (inevitably from UFOlogists) to the credibility of the accountees. I was continually struck by how much some of the accounts Rux relates reminded me of dreams and other sleep-related experiences; I was similarly struck by Rux's complete inability to recognize such similarities and pursue them, as compared to his willingness to jump to far wilder and more improbable "explanations." Of course, if Rux had thought more about more prosaic explanations, he wouldn't have much of a book: a book of psychology would likely require some expertise and training in a specific field, while ruminations on automata crafted by an alien race to abduct humans and perform fertilization experiments on them require nothing more than a word processor. Also striking about this work is Rux's repeated denunciations of noted UFOlogists; after a certain point, one starts to wonder if there are any UFOlogists that Rux does not believe are secretly in the employ of the government cabal responsible for the UFO cover-up.

In essence, this is a book by an "armchair UFOlogist." I do not mean this as a slur--what am I, after all, but an armchair reviewer?--but rather to emphasize that this represents not a careful collection of evidence, but a summary of selected accounts and of the "research" of other people, leading to an elucidation of the author's own pet theories. Thus, when Rux writes of the Sphinx, the pyramids or ancient civilization, he is simply regurgitating, with little in the way of critical thought, the prior speculations of Zecharia Sitchin, among others. All of Sitchin's errors are thus reproduced faithfully here, as are the errors of many others. What this implies is that in writing this book Rux was not evaluating data to determine if it was genuine or not; rather, he was picking out those lines of "evidence" that he liked and ignoring the rest. In short, what Rux practices is at best crank science, and at worst simple confabulation.

"Architects of the Underworld" is a breezy read, which makes it all the easier to spot the author's lapses. As an illustration of self-delusion and faulty logic, this book may be instructive. There is no other reason to recommend it.

Goofey.......1999-08-26

Not bad but a little goofey at times. Some of his stuff isn't original at all and looks to be drawn from Alan Alford, Grahame Hancock and Atlantis Flemath. But its okay if you can bear the long winded chapters.

Book Description

In this remarkable book a landscape architect and a photographer show us, in word and pictures, gardens built by homeless or impoverished New York City inhabitants. Like traditional gardens, these spaces are designed for pleasure, social activity, or private retreat. Unlike traditional gardens, they are connected to an active and ephemeral use of the land. By focusing on what homeless people make not for material comfort but from social and spiritual need, the book offers insight into both the meaning of landscape and the place of a garden in the life of an individual under duress.

The Sexual Citizen: Queer Politics and Beyond

ASIN: 0791433706

Book Description

Homeless persons find themselves excluded, repressed, and displaced in all sectors of everyday life--from punitive police and city zoning practices to media stereotypes. Wandering through the streets of developing cities, these poorest of the poor have no place to go. More and more, these city developments are not simply accepted passively; rather, resistance by organized homeless groups--civil protests, squatting, and legal advocacy--spread as conditions of everyday life deteriorate for the very poor.

Out of Place: Homeless Mobilizations, Subcities, and Contested Landscapes details the development of two organized homeless resistances in two different cities. From the redevelopment protesters and squatting activities of the Student-Homeless Alliance in San Jose to the squatter camps of Tranquility City in Chicago, the differences and similarities between both groups are highlighted within the context of city redevelopment policies. Wright argues for considering homelessness not merely as an issue for social welfare, but first and foremost as a land use issue directly connected to issues of gentrification, displacement, and the cultural imaginings of what the city should look like by those who have the power to shape its development.

How the homeless combat the restructurings of everyday life, how they attempt to establish a "place" is understood within the context of tactical resistances. Questions of collective identity and collective action are raised as a result of the successful organizing efforts of homeless groups who refuse to be victims. The struggle between individual and collective forms of empowerment is highlighted, with the conclusions pointing to the necessity to rethink and go beyond the traditional solutions of more housing and job training.

Book Description

Michael Dear and Jennifer Wolch examine the emergence of urban ghettos of the socially dependent--an unforeseen "solution" to the problem of developing community-based care for a variety of service-dependent groups, including the mentally and physically disabled, ex-offenders, and addicts. Based on detailed case studies drawn from several cities in Canada and the United States, Landscapes of Despair is a comprehensive analysis of these ghettos. "This is an easy book to praise and one that will repay close study.... A scrupulous and wise discussion, balancing equity and therapeutics, and one with immediate relevance to current problems."--Kim Hopper, Access "This book could offer a whole new meaning to the concept of `geography awareness' that has been so enthusiastically embraced in recent years."--Christopher J. Smith, Economic Geography "A major contribution to the theoretical development of the literature on homelessness, especially as this literature explores the relationships of service dependency and the central city.... [It] pushes the current parameters of American planning for the service-dependent."--Robert W. Collin, Journal of the American Planning Association

Book Description

Even as politicians continue to dismiss the notion of global warming, climatic change is turning millions into refugees. In Rising Tides, Rory Spowers challenges the basic assumptions of our Western worldview, exposing the fundamental flaws in a system that believes in unlimited economic growth within a finite world; a system that confuses financial worth with the real wealth of the natural systems upon which we all depend. Rising Tides is at once a concise and well-written history of the environmental movement, an expose of current practices, and a manifesto for positive change. It is packed full of details on who is doing what to damage our environment and health and, also, how they are being opposed and by whom. The book contains an invaluable "Environmental Directory" with details of environmental groups, activist networks, and pressure organizations involved in land reform, alternative technology, and organic-food research. The rift is growing between a powerful elite pushing their policies of globalization and a worldwide network disillusioned with notions of growth, wealth, and progress. Rising Tides suggests ways we can all plug into this network, rescue our economic system from manipulation by the corporate elite, and help to create the sort of world we want to live in.

Book Description

In recent years financial conglomerates have been established throughout Europe. This horizontal diversification has attracted a great deal of attention in the banking and insurance sector, and has alarmed the supervisory authorities and the European Commission. Financial Conglomerates: New Rules for New Players? gives a broad, innovative survey of the following aspects: it analyzes different sets of definitions of financial conglomerates, groups, consolidation criteria, etc., testing the practical effects of these definitions on the basis of a detailed relational database; although the benefits of financial conglomerates are straightforward, it is clear that quite a number of potential risks cannot be ignored; moreover, the differences in regulation of the solvency requirements for banks, insurance companies and investment firms are analyzed in order to look for a possible approach for calculating the necessary level of solvency for financial conglomerates. Audience: Required reading for practitioners as well as academic researchers in both the financial and the insurance markets. Strategic as well as regulatory perspectives are relevant disciplines.

Customer Reviews:

Don't buy this book (Dos and Don'ts in Switzerland).......2000-02-16

The content of this "book" is printed on one side of 4.5 pages. The remainder of the nine pages include the title page, a general blurb about the group that put it together, and some information lifted from Edward Hall. Even though it is a stretch to label this scanty pamplet as a "book", we had hoped that the concentrated content would be useful or insightful. No on both counts.

Virtually all of the pointers are both common-sensical and apply across most if not all Western cultures. We actually read this book in less than ten minutes while traveling in Switzerland. It includes such gems as don't smoke at dinner and keep your elbows off the table -- useful advice for someone who as never experienced any version of Western culture.
