Book Description
My happy thought... When I was a kid my mom gave me one of these books and for some reason it was one of my most treasured items. It was from the 1940s, and appealed to my creative instincts. It was lost long ago. They reflect a time when people were more creative and hard working, instead of buying plastic junk from China we have today. First published in 1920, this Bogie Book features the following ideas with suggestions for planning, decorating and preparing a party that won't soon be forgotten: a lively home Halloween party; card party on October 31; planning refreshments for the party (including menu and beverage ideas); business girl's halloween party; a dinner dance; supper at the club on Halloween; decorations for school hall, club or parish house; Halloween games including the cup of fate, matrimonial race, ghostly fate, witch's cats, blindfolded partners, spinning the web of fate, apple ten pins, ghostly lites and more; a fabulous rhyming interactive ghost story; costume ideas (for plans and instructions for costumes, please see our Dennison Costume books); decorations for harvest time and thanksgiving. Centerpieces, favors and novelties such as a black cat charm, cat score card, witch pencil, cat balloon, ghostly prize, cat bag, witch horn, witch serving cup, cat serving tray, pirate jack horner pie, pumpkin clown serving cup, candy candlesticks, clown candy holder and so many more are all pictured with instructions on how to make. For Thanksgiving and Harvest Time, the book gives how-to's for a pumpkin blossom balloon, harvest place card, corn and pumpkin centerpiece, gobolink serving cup, corn whistle, pumpkin blossom gobolink, turkey napkin holder, horn of plenty and much more.

Book Description
This riveting work of investigative reporting and history exposes classified government projects to build gravity-defying aircraft--which have an uncanny resemblance to flying saucers. The atomic bomb was not the only project to occupy government scientists in the 1940s. Antigravity technology, originally spearheaded by scientists in Nazi Germany, was another high priority, one that still may be in effect today. Now for the first time, a reporter with an unprecedented access to key sources in the intelligence and military communities reveals suppressed evidence that tells the story of a quest for a discovery that could prove as powerful as the A-bomb. The Hunt for Zero Point explores the scientific speculation that a "zero point" of gravity exists in the universe and can be replicated here on Earth. The pressure to be the first nation to harness gravity is immense, as it means having the ability to build military planes of unlimited speed and range, along with the most deadly weaponry the world has ever seen. The ideal shape for a gravity-defying vehicle happens to be a perfect disk, making antigravity tests a possible explanation for the numerous UFO sightings of the past 50 years. Chronicling the origins of antigravity research in the world's most advanced research facility, which was operated by the Third Reich during World War II, The Hunt for Zero Point traces U.S. involvement in the project, beginning with the recruitment of former Nazi scientists after the war. Drawn from interviews with those involved with the research and who visited labs in Europe and the United States, The Hunt for Zero Point journeys to the heart of the twentieth century's most puzzling unexplained phenomena.

Book Description
The popular image of Scotland is dominated by widely recognized elements of Celtic culture. But a significant non-Celtic influence on Scotland's history has been largely ignored for centuries? This book argues that much of Scotland's history and culture from 1100 forward is Jewish. The authors provide evidence that many of the national heroes, villains, rulers, nobles, traders, merchants, bishops, guild members, burgesses, and ministers of Scotland were of Jewish descent, their ancestors originating in France and Spain. Much of the traditional historical account of Scotland, it is proposed, rests on fundamental interpretive errors, perpetuated in order to affirm Scotland's identity as a Celtic, Christian society. A more accurate and profound understanding of Scottish history has thus been buried. The authors' wide-ranging research includes examination of census records, archaeological artifacts, castle carvings, cemetery inscriptions, religious seals, coinage, burgess and guild member rolls, noble genealogies, family crests, portraiture, and geographic place names.

Book Description
A first edition of The Halloween Encyclopedia was published by McFarland in 2003 (Booklist: "a worthy addition to public and school libraries as well as the reference shelves of journalists and leaders of community events"); it was the first encyclopedic reference book on the cultural phenomenon (which also deals with such related holidays as Britain's Guy Fawkes Day, Mexico's Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, and the Celtic celebration Samhain). Now updated to 2010, this second edition includes more than 50 new entries, covering subjects ranging from Folk Art to African American legends. Many existing entries have been expanded and revised, with new entries ("Chronology of Halloween" and "Halloween in Literature and the Arts") in both appendices. Also featured are more than a dozen new illustrations, and an expanded bibliography.
