"This book shares the story of Adel H., an Egyptologist, who, as a sixteen-year-old boy, was trapped for days under the Step Pyramid of Saqqara. Based on conversations with Adel H., the author tells of the boy's search for a way out of the underground world, how the boy roams passageways and chambers and sees what he calls 'impossible' things of which the professional world is completely unaware. Adel experiences uncanny events, a mixture of spirit realm and reality, that is described here for the first time. 'The story of Egypt,' Adel says, 'has two sides - the official one and the unknown one.'"-- "Bestselling author Erich von Däniken shares the story of a 16-year-old grave-diver who discovered a mysterious labyrinth of the old kings under one of the pyramids of Saqqara. In this book, Erich von Däniken shares the story of his friend Adel H., an Egyptologist, who, as a 16-year-old boy, was trapped for days under the Step Pyramid of Saqqara. Based on his conversations with Adel H., he retells the boy's search for a way out of the underground world, how the boy roamed passageways and chambers and saw what he calls "impossible" things of which the professional world is completely unaware. Adel experienced uncanny events, a mixture of spirit realm and reality, which is described here for the first time. "The story of Egypt," Adel says, "has two sides-the official one and the unknown one." It is secrets like the sights and events Adel experiences underground that von Däniken refers to throughout this book. Von Däniken shows that the Great Pyramid of Giza is nothing but a huge library created for the people of the future. He proves his claim through quotes from the few ancient works that still survive. Who actually had an interest for millennia in destroying knowledge/books? It's not about a few thousand, but about millions of books. Von Däniken documents the fanatical destructive rage of the people and means: If we would only have one ten-thousandth of the former writings, human prehistory would have to be completely rewritten. And where are the lost labyrinths? The one of Crete and the gigantic labyrinth of Egypt, of which all ancient historians reported? Against the background of these revelations, von Däniken turns the spot on to another focus of his book. A paradigm shift in the question of extraterrestrial life: "The gods have already come back. They came down again. They are currently orbiting our planet!""--

"The Deep State exists without a doubt, and it has perpetrated a consistent mission to hide, obscure, and delete information as it pertains to UFOs and alien interactions. Should unelected officials be making the decisions on disclosure? Is there a secret space program that has been developing technologies not of this world for decades? What have the Airforce and other agencies been hiding? This and more is explored in this book"--

Dit boek laat je kennis maken met de interne keuken van sociaalwetenschappelijk onderzoek. Hoe komen onderzoekers tot wetenschappelijke kennis over de sociale werkelijkheid? Welke spelregels moeten ze volgen zodat die kennis betrouwbaar en geldig zou zijn? Dit boek neemt je mee op een boeiende tocht doorheen het rijke en gevarieerde instrumentarium dat sociale wetenschappers tot hun beschikking hebben om menselijk gedrag te observeren en kennis te produceren. Zo passeren onder meer surveyonderzoek, participerende observatie, experimentele ontwerpen en historisch-vergelijkend onderzoek de revue. Methodologie omvat echter niet alleen de beheersing van methoden en technieken om data te verzamelen en te analyseren. Methodologie is ruimer en verwijst naar de wijze waarop het ganse proces van wetenschapsbeoefening functioneert. Het gaat ook om hoe je diverse theoretische kaders gebruikt, welke redeneringen steek houden, hoe wetenschap ingebed is in bredere filosofische discussies en welke ethische richtlijnen je dient te respecteren. Met dit handboek, dat rijkelijk geïllustreerd is met klassieke en meer hedendaagse voorbeelden uit diverse disciplines, willen we de onderzoeker in spe inleiden in de do's en don't's van kennis maken in de sociale wetenschappen.https://shop.acco.be/nl-be/items/9789463969710/Kennis-maken

"The gaze, understood as a way of looking at others that involves contemplation and the operation of power, has an extensive history of iterations such as the male gaze (Mulvey), the oppositional gaze (hooks), and the post-colonial gaze (Said). This essay collection develops a supplemental theory of what Muriel Cormican has coined the "tender gaze" and traces its occurrence in German film, theater, and literature. More than qualifying the primarily voyeuristic, narcissistic, and sexist impetus of the male gaze, the tender gaze also allows for a differentiated understanding of the role identification plays in reception, and it highlights various means of eliciting a sociopolitical critique in works of art. Emphasizing the humanizing potential of the tender gaze, the contributors argue that far from simply exciting emotional contagion, affect in art promotes an altruistic, rational, and fundamentally ethical relationship to the other. The tender gaze elucidates how perspective-taking operates in art to foster empathy and prosocial behaviors. Though the contributors identify instances of the tender gaze in artistic production since the early nineteenth century, they focus on its pervasiveness in contemporary works, corresponding to twenty-first-century concerns with implicit bias and racism"--
