Book Description
The marriage of Mona and Shawn Black was dominated by infidelity and lies. Now the drama that nearly tore them apart seems to have passed on to the next generation. Their children, Alex and Ashley, are in their second year at UCLA, and life is not simple for either one of them. Now that he knows Shawn Black is not his biological father, Alex is busy searching for the identity of his birth father. Unbeknownst to him, his sister Ashley seems to have inherited a destructive trait from this mystery man--using people's secrets to get what she's unwilling to work hard for. After the death of his lover, Wallace returns to California. He's on a mission to reconcile with the family that threw him out when he was eighteen, as well as to uncover information about his deceased partner. Who was the real James Parks, and why did he come to such an untimely demise? Wallace discovers shocking secrets that reveal a connection with James that he never knew he had.

David doesn't know that his someone-on-the-side shares a painful link to Grace's past. If the truth is revealed, it could send everyone down a path to certain devastation. One man has had a hand in the fate of every one of these characters. His actions have resulted in the dismemberment of three families. Now that the loose ends have begun to unravel, will any of them be able to pull their lives back together?

The Human Energy Field — Hidden Structures
Author: Cathy Chapman
Publisher: Light Technology Publishing
ISBN: 1622338162
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
In Western medicine, health-care practitioners learn physical anatomy. There is another anatomy just as important — the energetic anatomy. If you have read the previous books in this series, you not only learned about your spiritual anatomy — some of which had never been revealed, at least I’d never heard about it — but also how to heal these aspects of yourself. Just by reading the healing experiences, you receive the healing. In this book, you will learn about structures you might have heard of but know little about, such as the minor chakras, the hara line, the core star, and so forth. You also will learn about structures you never knew about, such as the heart’s healing center. In every case, you are taught how to bring healing and clarity to these structures. Things have happened to you in this amazing life of yours that hide the love you are. When things happen, there is damage to your energy field. A damaged energy field will result in damage to any of your bodies— emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical. Because every aspect of you is part of an integrated whole, when one part is damaged, then all parts are affected in some way. Read this book with an open heart. Set your intention for healing. Know that as you read with an open heart, you are being healed. Often the layers are many. Every time you ask, you are healed. Even small healings have a powerful impact on you, your life, and those around you. Each time you are healed, that healing releases from you an energy that might have been triggered by another, resulting in another person being wounded. Your healing prevents a deep wound from moving across the planet, which prevents someone else from being wounded, which prevents another person from being wounded, and on and on. When you repair even the smallest part of your energy field, you raise your vibration and life is easier.

The Human Energy Field — Chakras
Author: Cathy Chapman
Publisher: Light Technology Publishing
ISBN: 1622338030
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
Chakras spin, take in energy, and release energy. They react to what happens in your life. They react to your thoughts and emotions. They react to the actions you take. You might have a thought that goes through your mind, such as, “Oh, how terrible that I forgot ‘this.’” Your third chakra reacts to that. You might have a thought that says, “I wish I had said ‘this’ or done ‘that.’” Your second chakra reacts to that. Focused intention occurs when you are in your heart source. You might think you only focus intention with your mind, but when you are in your heart source, your chakras align. From your heart source, you connect with the heart chakra and the third eye through that beam of energy, because that beam of energy goes all the way up and all the way down — all your chakras connect. Your chakras work to keep you in balance as you perform your intention. The beam of energy activates all the chakras so that they come into alignment and balance with each other. If you have a thought while you’re in your heart source — let’s say you think about what happened yesterday and how you’re going to handle things in the future — that energy moves throughout your chakras, up and down your pranic tube. They come into balance. The heart source keeps all your chakras in balance. Take what you need from this book and use it to facilitate healing for yourself and for others. However you use this information, do it from your heart.

Good Economics for Hard Times
Author: Abhijit V. Banerjee
Publisher: PublicAffairs
ISBN: 1541762878
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
The winners of the Nobel Prize show how economics, when done right, can help us solve the thorniest social and political problems of our day. Figuring out how to deal with today's critical economic problems is perhaps the great challenge of our time. Much greater than space travel or perhaps even the next revolutionary medical breakthrough, what is at stake is the whole idea of the good life as we have known it. Immigration and inequality, globalization and technological disruption, slowing growth and accelerating climate change--these are sources of great anxiety across the world, from New Delhi and Dakar to Paris and Washington, DC. The resources to address these challenges are there--what we lack are ideas that will help us jump the wall of disagreement and distrust that divides us. If we succeed, history will remember our era with gratitude; if we fail, the potential losses are incalculable. In this revolutionary book, renowned MIT economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo take on this challenge, building on cutting-edge research in economics explained with lucidity and grace. Original, provocative, and urgent, Good Economics for Hard Times makes a persuasive case for an intelligent interventionism and a society built on compassion and respect. It is an extraordinary achievement, one that shines a light to help us appreciate and understand our precariously balanced world.

The Movement and the Middle East
Author: Michael R. Fischbach
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781503610446
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
The Arab-Israeli conflict constituted a serious problem for the American Left in the 1960s: pro-Palestinian activists hailed the Palestinian struggle against Israel as part of a fundamental restructuring of the global imperialist order, while pro-Israeli leftists held a less revolutionary worldview that understood Israel as a paragon of democratic socialist virtue. This intra-left debate was in part doctrinal, in part generational. But further woven into this split were sometimes agonizing questions of identity. Jews were disproportionately well-represented in the Movement, and their personal and communal lives could deeply affect their stances vis-à-vis the Middle East. The Movement and the Middle East offers the first assessment of the controversial and ultimately debilitating role of the Arab-Israeli conflict among left-wing activists during a turbulent period of American history. Michael R. Fischbach draws on a deep well of original sources--from personal interviews to declassified FBI and CIA documents--to present a story of the left-wing responses to the question of Palestine and Israel. He shows how, as the 1970s wore on, the cleavages emerging within the American Left widened, weakening the Movement and leaving a lasting impact that still affects progressive American politics today.

Finding Oneself in the Other
Author: Gerald A. Cohen
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691148813
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
This is the second of three volumes of posthumously collected writings of G. A. Cohen, who was one of the leading, and most progressive, figures in contemporary political philosophy. This volume brings together some of Cohen's most personal philosophical and nonphilosophical essays, many of them previously unpublished. Rich in first-person narration, insight, and humor, these pieces vividly demonstrate why Thomas Nagel described Cohen as a "wonderful raconteur.? The nonphilosophical highlight of the book is Cohen's remarkable account of his first trip to India, which includes unforgettable vignettes of encounters with strangers and reflections on poverty and begging. Other biographical pieces include his valedictory lecture at Oxford, in which he describes his philosophical development and offers his impressions of other philosophers, and "Isaiah's Marx, and Mine," a tribute to his mentor Isaiah Berlin. Other essays address such topics as the truth in "small-c conservatism," who can and can't condemn terrorists, and the essence of bullshit. A recurring theme is finding completion in relation to the world of other human beings. Engaging, perceptive, and empathetic, these writings reveal a more personal side of one of the most influential philosophers of our time.
