Product Description
About the book:What is the connection between lost civilizations, ancient cosmic catastrophes, and extraterrestrial visitations in prehistory?Voices from Legendary Times draws together compelling evidence from archaeology, astronomy, geology, myths, and ancient texts to prove that superior beings from outer space genetically engineered several human races on our planet. . Examines the flaws in the theory of evolution.. Proves that giants were an important, yet now forgotten part of our history.. Explains what really caused the destruction of highly advanced civilizations and continents like Atlantis, Lemuria, and Thule.. Reveals that our ancestors were familiar with flying machines and nuclear weapons.. Shows proof of extraterrestrial contact in the Bible. In the search for lost origins of humanity, Ellen Llyod demonstrates that races of men have inhabited Earth for millions of years, but not all of them were human. Ancient sources describe the past ages as world cycles.

the study of archeology deepens
Periodically one reads in a scientific journal
that there has been a finding of a skeleton,
or a carved image, perhaps evena village
layout that was far, far older than the usual
carbon dated areas on Planet Earth, and
that this would indicate that there are untold
layers of antiquity beneath our hills, plains,
and forests. We learn that Mankind has
been around this track before and the traces
of his passingwere lost in the debris of
time and the ages. A single tidbit of that sort
can make the mind whirl with new interest,
and the course of evolution we studied
in school needs to be updated to accommodate
the discovered fact. We want more.

We have more!In her brilliantbook,
Voices From Legendary Times,
Ellen Lloyd skillfully plumbs the
deeper cycles oflife on our world
to exploremillions of years of presence,
of extraterrestrial contact, of continuous
creation of the humanbeing. She writes of
a race of giants, and of lost continents such
as Lemuria and Atlantis, and then we read
in our local morning newspaper that archeologists
have found thebody of a mummified giant,
rich in adornment,and that deep sea divers
are detecting submerged urban grid patterns
beneath our oceans.Ellen tells us that sky travel
has long predated our own airplanes and that
appear to be atomic weapons have presented
problems well before we "invented" them.
Gripping stuff!

Rarely have I read a book as rich in well-
documented ancient archeological lore,
enjoyed discovering history with such relish.
So, Ellen, when are you going to give us another book?

A Historical Masterpiece
Voices From Legendary Times by Ellen Lloyd is the most comprehensive and complete review of ancient myths, tales, and texts I have ever read!One can only imagine the time and effort it took to put all of this together.While there may be many deleted words, improper punctuations, and mispellings, one must remember that this is not a Master's Thesis or Term Paper but a paper dealing with Ancient Astronaughts which were thought to be 'Gods' rather than 'Visitors'. For those of you who do not believe in UFOs or 'Little Green Men', I suggest you visit the website CSETI.com and purchase Dr. Steven Greer's, 4-Hour updated DVD of the June, 2001 Disclosure Conference conveniently ignored by the general media and our illustrious politicians. You might get a pleasant, (or unpleasant), suprise, depending on one's point of view. Of course, there are always those who say, "Don't confuse me with the facts! My mind is made up!"

What Part of Our World are we "Doomed to Repeat"?
We, on this planet, are repeatedly told; "He who forgets the Past, is doomed to repeat It; but,if we have already forgotten "it" "or...never even been told "it", where & how do we even start to get "clue one" about what "it"is?Legendary Times definitely gets a person off on the right foot, gets that foot in the door and that toe in the water!The ancient brought to light, & the public.

Legendary Times puts in one place;stories, facts, legends, recovered artifacts, scientific results, & first person accounts of humanity's origins.This compilation is written for the casual reader, yet still contains good clues for a researcher.If Legendary Times has a downside, it can be said to sort of "trail off towards the end" leaving one wishing for more data.

I bought a copy for a friend and find I am always going back to reference a fact.

Are there no editors at iUniverse?
There are a lot of problems with this book but the most glaring are the punctuation, sentence fragments and lack of continuity.If this book was translated from another language into English, where were the proofreaders?I've read lots of books translated from other languages that don't have these irritating mistakes.

With that said, I wonder about the research.Among her many assertions, she states that bones of giants found in CA were re-buried in order to suppress the true history of our origin.How does she know this?Though she has sources listed in the back of the book, there are no footnotes to indicate her source for such conclusions.I would think a mathematician, as the jacket states she is, would be more likely to demand proof.Her off-hand conclusions are not based on any arguments or proof that I found in her writing.

I believe there were civilizations prior to the Egyptian/Mesopotamian civilizations but this book is shallow and offers only wild speculation.

Save your money and eyesight.

Poorly written but worth the read
This book would be excellent if it were better written. My guess is that English is not the author's primary language. But beneath the annoyingly dropped words (especially "the"), incomplete and awkward sentences, and randomly placed commas is a wealth of substance. The author makes an excellent case that scholars should take cultural myths and legends more seriously, that there are important truths within the stories.
The tour of mysterious sites around the world, along with other evidence of long-lost great civilizations in our distant past, is relatively comprehensive and interesting. Yes, the "ancient astronauts" theory has for some time now been an object of merciless ridicule, but the ever growing body of anomalous evidence, in my opinion, continues to call conventional notions of human origins into question. Although this poorly written book would never suffice in an academic setting, it most certainly can serve well to introduce the reader to related theories proposed by the likes of Velikovsky, Alford, Hancock, Sitchen, and of course the controversial and giggle-factor encrusted popularizer, Erich von Daniken. If one is willing and able to push aside the ridicule, approach these theories objectively (and also tolerate annoying grammatical errors and typos) for the sake of understanding content, buy Voices, for it serves as a very good compilation of evidence proposedsupporting ancient astronauts related claims. ...

Product Description
Directed at managers and employees in today's corporations, where change is necessary to revitalize and improve corporate performance, this guide addresses the fact that it is people that have to carry out the change. It not only talks about what should be done, but also shows how to do it, giving managers practical ways to bring everybody "on board". Armed with this new information, managers will look at future changes in a new way, no longer anxious and hopeless, but rather looking at the opportunities. Wherever an organization makes a change, its people have to deal with: first, an ending; then, with a time in between the old and new that Bridges calls "the neutral zone"; and then, with a new beginning. William Bridges, the author of "Jobshift: How to Prosper in a Workplace Without Jobs", talks about what is going on inside the people who have to make the change work; and provides a sense of the emotional impact of change, and what can be done to keep it from disrupting the entire organization. ...

Love this book; have used it for years
Williams Bridges' Managing Transitions is well written.He presents the people side of organizational change in a way that is easy to grasp; very intuitive.He gives good case examples and practical actions leaders can take to improve the people side of organizational change.I use this often in my work.

This particular edition is not the one I use.I bought it thinking it was a variation on the book, but it's really the same book. ... Read more

Product Description
Since the beginning of the human race mankind has asked the question, when will it all end? From every corner of the Earth there are beliefs, prophecies, and legends, most of which point to the year 2012. Some of these stories point to a new beginning, others to the end of the world as we know it, and some to the annihilation of the world. 2012, Is This the End?, covers many, and there are many, of these prophecies, but more importantly it discusses what the Bible says about end-time events and what we should expect.The reader will find prediction of the Mayas, Incas, Aztecs, Chinese, Merlin, Mother Shipton, Nostradamus, and others to be intriguing. Compare and contrast these predictions with the Holy Bible. Should we put any stock in these prophecies and prepare ourselves? Will we live to see 2013? Find out in this book,or wait until December 21st, 2012. ... Read more

Amazing!!
This book was awesome!! I enjoyed every minute of reading and was facinated by the facts revealed.What I really liked best about the book was the correlation to the Bible.Mr. Hildebrand reminds us through out the book that there is hope in Christ.


I enjoyed it, it scared me, but as the same time I know where my hope is, it's in Christ.

Recklessly inaccurate; An embarrassment to us Christians

UPDATE 5 JULY 2010:
Those who want to know more about John Major Jenkins' theory of the Galactic Alignment may want to read his own account of how his heavy drug use contributed to his "insights". See links in the second comment, below.


I found out about Hildebrand's book while doing background reading to prepare a presentation on the astronomical alignments that are supposed to take place in 2012 (see my review of Aveni's The End of Time: The Maya Mystery of 2012). I haven't read much of Hildebrand's book (only those few pages that are viewable on Amazon), but I watched his extended interview on the program "Homekeepers" (Program #HK-2360, of 29 December 2009). On that program, Hildebrand claimed that there will be planetary alignmments in 2012, and an alignment with the black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. Those statements are demonstrably, laughably wrong, as Hildebrand could have learned from 10 minutes of research on any of a dozen websites. From what I could see of his book in Amazon's Look Inside feature, his knowledge of Mayan civilization is equally flawed.

Instead of this book, I recommend the above-cited work by Aveni, and many of the sources cited in the wikipedia article "2012 Phenomenon".

It was surprisingly good!
I am a 13 year old girl and even though this book is strictly based on facts and 'prophecies', I found it quite intriguing! My book club at first thought that it might be a scifi book, but it turned out otherwise, but we continued reading. The book kind of pulls you in. It almost scares you a little bit. What was scary to me was how it seems like a LOT of these prophecies seem to be happening NOW... Makes you wonder if you really should believe in 2012! I thought it was a good book. You should definitely buy this book! I, and my reading group loved it as well!

pretty good and made me want to read
I really liked this book and i thought the idea of 2012 was stupid but after reading this i have changed my opinion because i hink this is weird how all these people from differnt parts of the world had the same idea i would recommend this to everyone and to kids my classmates like this book and i do to it made me read on and on it kept getting interesting.

Not Bad
This is a fun book to read. It features a couple of minor mistakes but is mostly accurate. What sets this apart is the author's sense of humor. He doesn't take the subject too seriously, nor should he, but he does recognize Rod Stewart's prodigious, if often misused talents. I found myself laughing out loud on a couple of occasion as he pokes fun of Rod's womanizing and often poor taste in clothing. Rod fans probably won't find much new here but for those of us who find Stewart watching a fun sport, it is enjoyable to read yet another opinion of the Tartan Terror.

Well-written, fun to read and look at the pictures!
Named after one of his famous recordings - "Rod Stewart. Every Picture Tells A Story" - this book isgreat treat for all Rod Stewart fans. It has a large format, and it's filled with fantastic (some are very rare!) photographs that make you smile. The bookdoes tell quite a story, page by page. About Rod's roots and beginnings, his style and his voice, and his way withblondes, too! It frankly examines Rod's musical, sartorial and love lives. ... Read more
