Greetings and welcome to a bumper April 2014 newsletter! 

 

This newsletter is packed with links to exciting new projects 
and investigative studies from all around the world. It has recently become apparent that momentum is really beginning to build towards bursting the "Clovis-first" bubble, and the research
discussed in Who Discovered America? seems to be playing an integral role!

 

PS Section to Who Discovered America?  
We have just handed in the completed PS section for the  
paperback edition of Who Discovered America? The new section contains new evidence and details of recent research which has been ongoing since the book was published in October 2013. The paperback edition will be published in the U.S.A. in October 2014, and we are delighted that it will be a Main Selection in the Quality Paperback Book Club and Featured Alternate Selection of Book-of-the-Month Club and B.O.M.C.2. We are also pleased to have sold the traditional Chinese character rights to Yuan-Liou Publishing House.

New "Ancient America" website
We are pleased to announce a new website which was set up in March 2014: http://ancientamerica.com/
 
The authors seek contributors of articles and information on new 
research and discoveries regarding any of the following subjects: standing stones, ancient travel and trade, pictographs and petroglyphs, ancient copper mining, anything else that increases our awareness of how "small" the world has always been. Please feel free to explore the site, and email the owners with your comments.

The Long Riders Guild has been providing us with valuable historical equestrian information, clues about rare equestrian books, and contacts to equestrian scholars around the world. They have recently finished an update on their website which can be viewed here:  http://www.thelongridersguild.com
 
The site contains the largest collection of equestrian travel information in human history and we much hope that you will find it of interest.
