Preface Angkor was the ancient capitol city of the great Khmer civilization from the IXth to XVIth Century.

On these lands, the Khmers tested seven different sites in succession before intensively developing Angkor. Here, over 200 major monuments in brick, laterite and sandstone testify to the art, religion and cultural achievements of the Khmer Civilization. The sustainabity of Angkor will be described and evaluated against five basic tenets of Ecology: All things are related Organisms will seek and inhabit environments which will sustain life a ...

Before history began, the Earth was being shaped by volcanic and seismic forces. Earth had a climate warmed by solar radiation and volcanic emission of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane) that kept the Earth warm. The Earth also had intermittent ice ages caused by decreases in greenhouse gases. Our species has existed for only a short time within the last ice age, but we are rapidly warming the Earth with emissions of waste greenhouse gases that will recreate greenhouse conditions that endanger the survival of human beings. Denial of these facts by a vocal minority is delaying the action necessary to prevent this potential catastrophe. Our power lies in the choices we mak ...

This Book is exactly what you need to be told, to be reminded of and to be taught about Mother Earth, and all that she represents to You and I. And since she has been around for a time that we could never imagine when it started, then it is best for us to come to her sides, and allow her to hold our hands in providing for us, in caring for us, in helping us, in healing us, and in protecting us for life. Because Mother Earth is not here to hurt us, she is not here to dismember us like we are doing to her every hour of every day. But Mother Earth is here to bless us along with all the other Beings who inhabit her on her skin and even inside her belly. And so You and I are The Pioneers who ...

In 2010, while in College, I applied the Substitution Cipher decoding technique to Time, and discovered that the Flow of Electricity was hidden inside of it. Time, each hour of the day, is filled with Electric Charges. In the International System of Units, the Letter C, is used to represent Electric Charge. That letter C can be found all throughout Time; and when Charted, form an identical pattern to Human Energy Output.
