Pages : 392
Book Description
A compelling mystery which combines rich historical narrative with the story of a woman entangled in a 21st-century witch hunt. Jade Green is a solicitor with her own practice, Lost Causes, that she runs from her London flat. She struggles to keep her business afloat, and supplements her income by delivering for the local Chinese takeaway. Her life changes with a single phonecall. Dr Gilbert has been dismissed from his post teaching the history of science at the University of Wessex. Allegations have been made that he was corrupting the students with satanism; the professor himself suspects the university to be controlled by a fundamentalist christian sect. As Jade delves into this bizarre case, she finds herself drawn into a seventeenth-century manuscript, the original of which has been stolen from the Professor's briefcase at the university. It is The Memorial of Amyntas Boston, a young woman -- raised as a boy -- who is awaiting trial for dabbling in the black arts and in alchemy. Taken into service by Mary Sidney, she had fallen in love with her mistress and ultimately found herself betrayed by her. The two stories intertwine as Jade feels her life mysteriously resonate with Am

The People’s Constitution
Author: John F. Kowal
Publisher: The New Press
ISBN: 1620975629
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 493
Book Description
The 233-year story of how the American people have taken an imperfect constitution—the product of compromises and an artifact of its time—and made it more democratic Who wrote the Constitution? That’s obvious, we think: fifty-five men in Philadelphia in 1787. But much of the Constitution was actually written later, in a series of twenty-seven amendments enacted over the course of two centuries. The real history of the Constitution is the astonishing story of how subsequent generations have reshaped our founding document amid some of the most colorful, contested, and controversial battles in American political life. It’s a story of how We the People have improved our government’s structure and expanded the scope of our democracy during eras of transformational social change. The People’s Constitution is an elegant, sobering, and masterly account of the evolution of American democracy. From the addition of the Bill of Rights, a promise made to save the Constitution from near certain defeat, to the post–Civil War battle over the Fourteenth Amendment, from the rise and fall of the “noble experiment” of Prohibition to the defeat and resurgence of an Equal Rights Amendment a century in the making, The People’s Constitution is the first book of its kind: a vital guide to America’s national charter, and an alternative history of the continuing struggle to realize the Framers’ promise of a more perfect union.

Author: Brenda Lightfeather Marroy
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781523866359
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
TRANSFORMING INTO THE EMBODIMENT of who we are as children of Creator Energy does not happen overnight. It is a journey, a walk, and a call to remember who and what we are, and what our function is here on planet Earth. Based on her own personal healing journey, ALCHEMY 365: A SELF-AWARENESS WORKBOOK is based on four important insights Brenda Lightfeather Marroy gained over a fifteen year period: * Her observations of how many people were stuck in one place, and ultimately failing to have the life they wanted and needed. * Her own realizations of how easy it is to fall into the trap of taking the road more travelled, and to settle for the religion, society, and family that structure dictates, as well as how great a courage it takes to ask questions, act on new truths, and follow one's own path. * Her observations of how everyone longs for peace, authenticity, understanding, and love. * Her realizations that all the running to and fro looking for fulfillment outside of Self is pointless, and that everything one needs is already within oneself, including the ability to transform into the fullness of one's authentic self. Albert Einstein said, "No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it." When one continues to ask the same questions and make the same choices, one gets the same results. To move in a different direction requires insight into where one has been and where one is, clarity on what no longer serves, and direction on how to move into where one would like to be. ALCHEMY 365: A SELF-AWARENESS WORKBOOK is a work of love, and a desire to present a platform to simplify the process of transforming into the glorious, spiritual beings we are.
