Con seguridad eramos mucho mas que todo eso y en distinto grado,pero lo que nos ha unido ha sido justamente sentir que en las practicas cotidianas deconfiguracion subjetiva, las identidades sociales que nos permiten pasar del yo alnosotros -lo que no nos hace unicos- estan cambiando, y lo hacen en gran medidaafectadas por las transformaciones en las formas de (des)hacernos con y para el otroa traves de las tecnologias.

Author: Zecharia Sitchin File Type: pdf The crowning work of the best-selling Earth Chronicles series Reveals the existence of physical evidence of alien presence on Earth in the distant past Identifies and describes the demigods, such as Gilgamesh, descended from these visitors Outlines the tests of this physical evidence of alien presence that could unlock the secrets of health, longevity, life, and death In whose genetic image were we made? From his first book The 12th Planet on, Zecharia Sitchin has asserted that the Bibles Elohim who said Let us fashion The Adam in our image and after our likeness were the gods of Sumer and Babylon--the Anunnaki who had come to Earth from their planet Nibiru. The Adam, he wrote, was genetically engineered by adding Anunnaki genes to those of an existing hominid, some 300,000 years ago. Then, according to the Bible, intermarriage took place There were giants upon the Earth who took Adams female offspring as wives, giving birth to heroes of renown. With meticulous detail, Sitchin shows that these were the demigods of Sumerian and Babylonian lore, such as the famed Mesopotamian king Gilgamesh as well as the hero of the Deluge, the Babylonian Utnapishtim. Are we then, all of us, descendants of demigods? In this crowning oeuvre, Zecharia Sitchin proceeds step-by-step through a mass of ancient writings and artifacts, leading the reader to the stunning Royal Tombs of Ur. He reveals a DNA source that could prove the biblical and Sumerian tales true, providing conclusive physical evidence for past alien presence on Earth and an unprecedented scientific opportunity to track down the Missing Link in humankinds evolution, unlocking the secrets of longevity and even the ultimate mystery of life and death. ReviewReflects the highest levels of scientific knowledge . . . (Science & Religion News )Exciting . . . credible . . . most provocative and compelling. (Library Journal )One of the most important books on Earths roots ever written. (East West Journal )Sitchin is a zealous investigator into mans origins . . . a dazzling performance. (Kirkus Reviews )For thousands of years priests, poets, and scientists have tried to explain how man was created. Now a recognized scholar has come forth with a theory that is the most astonishing of all. (United Press International )Utilizing the Bible (which Sitchin also provides some Hebrew words and the English mis-translations), Sumerian clay tablets andor cylinders, as well as some other ancient texts, the author presents his case of how man (modern day humans) came to be. . . . I recommend this book for those who are interested in aliens, ancient history, and for those who can handle a lot of detailed information. I enjoyed the book. (*Jan, Reality Undefined, June 2010* )Drawing on a vast range of scholarship as well has his [Zechariah Sitchin] grasp of ancient languages and archaeology, he asserts that two of the tombs of Ur contained the remains of an Annunaki goddess Puabi, which actually still exist in the Natural History Museum. . . an intriguing story. (The Scientific & Medical Network, UK, December 2010 ) From the Inside FlapARCHAEOLOGY ANCIENT MYSTERIES GENETICS In whose genetic image were we made? From his first book, The 12th Planet, on, Zecharia Sitchin has asserted that the Bibles Elohim who said, Let us fashion The Adam in our image and after our likeness were the gods of Sumer and Babylon--the Anunnaki who had come to Earth from their planet, Nibiru. The Adam, he wrote, was genetically engineered by adding Anunnaki genes to those of an existing hominid, some 300,000 years ago. Then, according to the Bible, in the days before the Great Flood and thereafter too, there were giants upon the Earth who intermarried with Adams offspring, giving birth to heroes of renown. With meticulous detail, Sitchin shows that these were the demigods of Sumerian and Babylonian lore. The famed Mesopotamian king Gilgamesh, who claimed a right to immortality, was one of them so was the hero of the Deluge, Noah (the Babylonian Utnapishtim). Are we then, all of us, descended of demigods? In this breathtaking book, Zecharia Sitchin asserts that there exists, today, physical evidence that could prove those biblical and Sumerian tales. Proceeding step-by-step through a mass of ancient writings and artifacts, he leads the reader to Ur of the Chaldees and Abrahams time, where four thousand years later archaeologists uncovered in the sacred precinct extraordinary burials unique for the wealth and opulence of artifacts they contained and scores of attendants entombed with them. Known as The Royal Tombs of Ur, they remained a baffling mystery. Now, in this crowning oeuvre that reads like a detective story, Zecharia Sitchin reaches the stunning conclusion that the two most extraordinary tombs were the last resting place of an Anunnaki goddess and her demigod spouse and proceeds to identify them and their genealogical ancestry back to those who were first to land on Earth from Nibiru. He then makes a sensational revelation that could provide conclusive physical evidence for alien presence on Earth in the ancient past, with an unprecedented scientific opportunity to track down the Missing Link in humankinds evolution and a key to unlocking the secrets of disease, longevity, and even the ultimate mystery of life and death. Eminent biblical scholar and internationally acclaimed author ZECHARIA SITCHIN (1920-2010) spent 60 years researching and translating Sumerian clay tablets and other ancient texts that identify the Anunnaki and their planet, Nibiru. A journalist and editor in Israel for many years, he later made his home in New York City.

Author: Stephen Graham File Type: pdf A powerful expose of how political violence operates through the spaces of urban life.Cities are the new battleground of our increasingly urban world. From the slums of the global South to the wealthy financial centers of the West, Cities Under Siege traces the spread of political violence through the sites, spaces, infrastructure and symbols of the worlds rapidly expanding metropolitan areas. Drawing on a wealth of original research, Stephen Graham shows how Western militaries and security forces now perceive all urban terrain as a conflict zone inhabited by lurking shadow enemies. Urban inhabitants have become targets that need to be continually tracked, scanned and controlled. Graham examines the transformation of Western armies into high-tech urban counter-insurgency forces. He looks at the militarization and surveillance of international borders, the use of security concerns to suppress democratic dissent, and the enacting of legislation to suspend civilian law. In doing so, he reveals how the New Military Urbanism permeates the entire fabric of urban life, from subway and transport networks hardwired with high-tech command and control systems to the insidious militarization of a popular culture corrupted by the all-pervasive discourse of terrorism.ReviewSuperb ... Graham builds on the writings of Mike Davis and Naomi Klein who have attempted to expose the hidden corporate and military structures behind everyday life. (Edwin Heathcote - *Financial Times* )Cities Under Siege is a detailed and intense forensics of new urban frontiers, laboratories of the extreme where experiments with new urban conditions are currently being undertaken. In this fascinating new work Steven Graham has created a novel concept of the city, looking at war as the limit condition of urbanity and calling for an alternative urban life yet to come. (Eyal Weizman, author of *Hollow Land* )Roll over Jane Jacobs heres urban geography as it looks like through the eye of a Predator at 25,000 feet. A fundamental and very scary report from the global red zone. (Mike Davis, author of *Planet of Slums* )A brilliant critique of the deadly embrace of military violence and contemporary urbanism. Steve Graham writes with immense power and lucidity, layering detail over detail and image over image to expose the shadows that are falling across cities around the world. This is not a dystopian future but the present, and Graham compels us to open our eyes to the dangers military urbanism poses to contemporary democracy. (Derek Gregory, Professor of Geography, University of British Columbia and author of *The Colonial Present* ) About the AuthorStephen Graham is Professor of Human Geography at Durham University, and previously taught at MIT, among other universities. Among his books are Cities under Siege, War and Terrorism, the Cybercities Reader and (with Simon Marvin) Splintering Urbanism.
