![]() ![]() Author: Gilbert Adrian G. Publisher: Harmakis Chi erano i tre Re, i tre saggi testimoni della nascita di Gesù? Da dove venivano e per quale motivo intrapresero il viaggio fino a Betlemme? Adrian Gilbert risponde a queste e ad altre domande in una nuova e affascinante esplorazione della leggenda dei Magi, frutto di venticinque anni di ricerca storica, archeologica e astronomica. Un libro che conduce il lettore nel passato rivelandogli come una dottrina segreta fosse conservata in Oriente in forma di architettura monumentale e come, al tempo delle Crociate, fosse stata diffusa in Europa. La verità, sconvolgente sia per i credenti che per gli agnostici, è che la nascita di Gesù era attesa non solo in Medio Oriente e che la stessa Cristianità ha le sue più profonde origini in Egitto, Persia e Mesopotamia. Adrian Gilbert ritiene che i Magi fossero membri di una confraternita che ha guidato la civiltà per almeno 5000 anni, fin dalla costruzione delle piramidi. A volte perseguitati, a volte invece insediati nei centri di potere, questi saggi erano, e forse sono tuttora, custodi di una tradizione iniziatica segreta. € 27,00

La rivoluzione delle stelle e la progressione delle costellazioni davano la misura del passare del tempo più accuratamente che ogni invenzione umana. Molti dei grandi monumenti e costruzioni del mondo antico sono stati fatti per segnare il naturale ciclo del tempo tracciato dal sole, dalla luna e dalle stelle. Adrian Gilbert ci guida nella sua indagine per svelare i misteri delle profezie del Vecchio e Nuovo Testamento. Ci dimostra come i segni, messaggeri di una nuova era, siano ora visibili nel cielo: la costellazione di Orione è arrivata nel suo punto più a Nord, la cintura di Orione sta arrivando sul Monte degli Olivi, a Gerusalemme. € 27,00

![]() ![]() Author: Gilbert Adrian D. Publisher: Skyhorse Pub Co Inc The French Foreign Legion has built a reputation as one of the world’s most formidable and colorful military institutions. Established as a means of absorbing foreign troublemakers, the Legion spearheaded French colonialism in North Africa during the nineteenth century. Accepting volunteers from all parts of the world, the Legion acquired an aura of mystery and a less-than-enviable reputation for extreme brutality within its ranks. Voices of the Foreign Legion explores how the Legion selects its recruits, their native lands, and why these warriors seek a life full of hardship and danger. It analyzes the Legion’s brutal attitude toward discipline, questions why desertion has been a perennial problem, and assesses the Legion’s remarkable military achievements since its formation in the year 1831. This is the real story of the Legion, featuring firsthand accounts from the men who have fought in its ranks. Its scope ranges from the conquest of the colonies in Africa and the Far East through the horrors of the two world wars, to the bitter, but ultimately hopeless, battle to maintain France’s far-flung imperial possessions. The story is brought fully up-to-date with accounts and anecdotes from those contemporary foreign legionnaires who continue to fight for French interests around the globe. € 15,70

![]() ![]() Author: Gilbert Adrian Publisher: Osprey Pub Co Winston Churchill described the opening campaign of World War I as ‘a drama never surpassed’. The titanic clash of Europe’s armies in 1914 is one the great stories of 20th-century history, and one in which the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) would play a notable part.
Previous assessments of the BEF have held to an unshakeable belief in its exceptional performance during the battles of 1914. But closer examination of the historical record reveals a force possessing some key strengths yet undermined by other, significant failings.
Within an authoritative and well-paced campaign narrative, Challenge of Battle re-evaluates the Army’s leadership, organization and tactics. It describes the problems faced by commanders, grappling with the brutal realities of 20th-century warfare, and explains how the British infantry’s famed marksmanship has to be set against the inexperience and tactical shortcomings of the BEF as a whole. But it also demonstrates the progress made by the British during 1914, concluding with the successful defense of Ypres against superior enemy forces.
The author examines the fateful decisions made by senior officers and how they affected the men under their command. Making full use of diaries, letters and other contemporary accounts, he builds a compelling picture of what it was like to fight in the battles of Mons, Le Cateau, the Aisne and Ypres.
In this thought-provoking new book, Adrian Gilbert clears away the layers of sentiment that have obscured a true historical understanding of the 1914 campaign to provide a full, unvarnished picture of the BEF at war.

![]() ![]() Author: Gilbert Adrian Publisher: Harmakis Nel mondo ci sono certi oggetti, talismani, che sembrano possedere un certo potere, quasi magico. Come la lampada di Aladino, la proprità di tali oggetti è una questione di destino, e cambi di propriet possono significare anche eventi apocalittici. Questo libro riguarda un altro talismano, forse il più antico e più grande di tutti: La Pietra del Destino. Questo oggetto può sembrare un semplice blocco di pietra con delle semplici maniglie di ferro sporgenti dai suoi lati. Eppure la mitologia che la circonda è straordinaria. Essa precede anche l'Arca dell'Alleanza da centinaia se non migliaia di anni. € 19,00

![]() ![]() Author: Gilbert Adrian Publisher: 4th Dimension Pr Within the world there are certain objects, talismans if you like, that seem to possess a curious almost magical power. Like Aladdin's lamp, ownership of such objects is a matter of destiny, and changes in ownership can signify even apoca-lyptic events. This book concerns another talisman, perhaps the oldest and greatest of them all: the Lia Fail or Stone of Destiny. To look at it is to see an unassuming worn block of stone with simple iron handles protruding from its sides. Yet the mythology surrounding it is extraordinary. It predates even the Ark of the Covenant by hundreds if not thou-sands of years. What secrets does this Stone possess? What is its destiny? Author Adrian Gilbert looks at the stone in a way never before attempted and shows how its very dimensions provide hidden evidence that links it both to the pyra-mids of Egypt and to the Druidic religion of Britain, and finally to its prophetic destiny. € 17,60

![]() ![]() Author: Gilbert Adrian, McKenney Tom C., Mills Dan, Moorhouse Roger, Newark Tim Publisher: Pelican Pub Co Inc Revered by some as the ultimate warrior and condemned by others as ruthless assassins, the combat sniper is more than just a crack shot. This collection of biographies, written by leading military historians, explores the careers of the top snipers of World War II. Snipers are highly disciplined, calm professionals skilled in marksmanship, reconnaissance, and camouflage. During World War II, these lethal fighters were deployed by both sides to deadly effect. Because they were condemned as cold-hearted killers who took lives without risking their own, sniper veterans often concealed their wartime duties. However, modern snipers, and those of the past, are recognized today as representing the peak of combat skills. The remarkable stories of ten combat snipers of the Second World War are told by military men aptly skilled to do so. Drawing on firsthand accounts that have never been published, the authors supply details of their subjects to give graphic insight into each sniper's skill. As well as providing incisive technical information, authors offer a glimpse of the character and personality of their chosen snipers, giving them a human face. The list of snipers includes World War II's most accomplished fighting figures such as Finland's Simo Häyhä; Germany's finest shooter, Sepp Allerberger; Russia's famed Vassili Zaitsev and Lyudmila Pavlichenko; and America's Bert Kemp. These stories detail the bitter cold in which Eastern Front snipers Zaitsev and Allerberger often fought; the stinking, steaming jungles where Japanese snipers lost their lives atop palm trees; tales of personal revenge that drove Pavlichenko; how Häyhä applied his skills as a moose hunter and skier to become World War II's deadliest sniper; and how West Tennessee farmer Bert Kemp used his amazing ability for precision and almost supernatural marksmanship to become one of America's unsung heroes. These gripping, in-depth narratives go beyond the cursory treatment in existing histories and are essential reading for anyone wanting to learn about the role and technique of the sniper during the Second World War. € 27,70

![]() ![]() Author: Gilbert Adrian Publisher: TEA Secondo gli antichi maya, l'attuale "Era del Giaguaro", iniziata il 13 agosto dell'anno 3114 a.C., giungerà a compimento il 21 dicembre del 2012. Da oltre cento anni, quando cioè fu scoperto il sistema di calcolo del tempo dei Maya, questa data stuzzica la curiosità degli studiosi. Tanto più essi ne sono affascinati quanto più a questa data sono attribuite ulteriori caratteristiche: per esempio il 22 dicembre 2012, giorno successivo al solstizio d'inverno, il sole sarà allineato con uno stargate al centro della nostra galassia, evento che si ripete solo ogni 25.800 anni. Nelle "Profezie dei Maya" il fulcro delle teorie di Gilbert era la possibile conoscenza dei cicli delle macchie solari da parte dei maya, ma allora furono maggiori le domande suscitate delle risposte ai misteri indagati. Oggi, a distanza di oltre dieci anni, molte cose sono cambiate e molti progressi sono stati fatti. Alla luce di nuove informazioni l'antica profezia può essere, oggi, svelata. Gilbert può finalmente rispondere a domande come "Che cosa potrebbe significare per noi la data del 21 dicembre 2012?" "Come è possibile che i maya, una popolazione primitiva, conoscesse con precisione la disposizione del cielo il 21 dicembre 2012?" e soprattutto "Dobbiamo prendere sul serio la minaccia di un'epoca di apocalittici cataclismi?" € 11,00

Decodificando le loro complesse rappresentazioni astronomiche, gli autori rivelano il significato delle profezie, giungendo alla conclusione che la nascita e la fine della civiltà coincidono con i cicli delle macchie solari e che le antiche civiltà dell'America centrale furono fondate dagli antichi egizi sopravvissuti alla scomparsa di Atlantide. € 18,50
