John Spencer

    1 de enero de 1954

    John Spencer se centra en los héroes anónimos del Oeste americano, en particular en los abolicionistas reacios y los puritanos fervientes que dieron forma a la vida en la frontera. Su obra da vida a los dramas y conflictos del Illinois de preguerra, enfatizando a los luchadores renuentes por la libertad y su inmensa fortaleza en tiempos de expansión. El estilo de Spencer se basa en una investigación exhaustiva y el deseo de relatar las historias de aquellos que quedaron fuera de las narrativas históricas principales. Su escritura es una invitación a explorar capítulos menos conocidos pero significativos de la historia estadounidense.

      Ever since the first sighting 50 years ago, UFOs have gripped the public imagination. This definitive work highlights the most significant cases and developments -- from the first reports of unidentified flying objects to alien sightings, claims of abductions, religious cults, crash retrievals, and the emergence of witness support groups. Alongside these developments the Spencers discuss the cultural developments and social contexts of the past half-century, such as the release of the film 2001, the first man on the moon and the science fiction boom of the 1950s and 1990s.
