INTERVIEW WITH THE GIANT: ETHNOHISTORICAL
NOTES ON THE NEPHILIM (c 2009) Judd H. Burton, $14.10-The
book of Genesis tells us that "giants were in the earth in those days." Once great tribes of giants roamed the land, dominating
humanity and usurping their resources. Great, towering, monstrous creatures born of the fallen angels and human females dominated
humanity in our antique past. Nephilim, Rephaim, Zamzummim, Annakim--their names echo through the ages. Goliath,
Og, Repha--the names of the most notorious giants survive. In their wake they left evidence of giant culture, while
leaving their own imprint on human society and technology. But where did they go? Join historian and anthropologist
Judd H. Burton as he reconstructs a history of the lost race of giants from the cultural relics they left behind.

MAN, MYTH, AND MAGIC (c)by Judd H. Burton--(due later this year)-Man,
Myth, and Magic is a tour of the paranormal mysteries of humanity. In here, you will find man's quest through religion,
his conceptualization of that pursuit in myth, and the lasting embers of archaic belief in folklore. Gods, goddesses,
vampires, demons, priests, shamans, saints, and sinners...there is something for everyone's curiosity within this text.
THE CATCLAW AND THE PENTAGRAM (c) by Judd H. Burton--(Due in
2008) Long ago, a world away from the one in which we live, our ancestors worshipped many gods. Those gods were
eventually forced from their shrines and grottos to the home, hearth, and the shadows. And now, they have resurfaced
from the mantles of yesteryear, to their new niches in modern society...including 21st century Texas. This ethnography
of an eclectic group of Texas Neopagans examines the adaptation and function mythology in a modern pagan community.

AND SOUTH AMERICAN BELIEFS, by Lewis
Spence, $11.06--The deserts, jungles, and mountains of Central and South America were once home to the great
ancient American Civilizations. Those terrains still hold within them a past of mystery and wonder. Spence has
left us a magnificent primer on the gods and beliefs of the Maya, Aztec, Inca and their fellows in this rousing journey through
the transcendant world of ancient American religion. The Maya, with their towering pyramids, mastered the charting of
time as they placated their gods. The Aztecs perpetuated the cycle of the sun with a steady stream of blood sacrifice.
The mysterious Inca built the largest American empire and sought the aid of the mystical Viracochas. Embark on an expedition
into the beliefs of the ancient Americans.

THE RELIGION OF NUMA, by Jesse Bendict Carter, $9.96--Carter's masterful survey
of Roman religion is a tour de force. The Romans were actively religious, with a vibrant and colorful pantheon of gods
and goddesses. A closer examination of their rites and gods reveals that they were not, however, a carbon copy of their
Greek neighbors. In the beginning, Roman gods were forces of nature, gods espoused by a people whose lives centered
around farming and raising animals. Rome's urbanization transformed its society and its religion. Carter's acumen
renders a picture of Roman spirituality revealing the religion as distinctive and to the modern reader, novel and
intriguing. Relish each page of this scholarly yet digestible treatment of Roman religion.
