Book Description
"The author takes you right along with her as she protests on the barricades during the tumultuous 1960's, works in a shipyard in the 1970's, builds a health clinic in Nicaragua in the 1980s, turns 50 in Peru in 2000, and searches for inner peace and balance every step of the way. These pages reveal how Kendall did indeed fulfill her destiny as a seeker/warrior-and to the reader's good fortune is now a writer as well. Don't miss it." -Max Elbaum, author, Revolution in the Air Brimming with honesty, humor, and zeal, Kendall Hale's memoir shares her remarkable journey from youthful adolescence to thoughtful maturity in Radical Passions. Shaped within the context of major historical events from the turbulent 1960s to today, Hale follows her evolution from being the daughter of Mormon parents to becoming a member of the Students for a Democratic Society and achieving spiritual maturity in her later years. Hale's journey is personal, yet universal. She explores her early college years protesting the Vietnam War, her young adulthood struggles in Boston with the new communist, feminist, and labor movements, and her transition to marriage and family. From her search for the socialist dream in Castro's Cuba, Mao's China, and Nicaragua during the Contra War to her role as a wife, mother, and veteran of a fractured marriage, Hale reveals her growing understanding of the world around her. A move to Asheville, North Carolina, spurred the birth and maturation of her spiritual quest. Hale describes how therapy, Buddhism, and spiritual travels in India, South America, and the Pacific led her back to the Blue Ridge mountains in a community replete with rednecks, polygamists, voracious developers, environmentalists, and New Age dreamers. Transitioning into menopause and the second half of life, Hale faces the challenges of aging and its potential flowering of wisdom and integration. A story for all who seek deeper meaning in their lives, Radical Passions is the inspiring tale of an ordinary woman's extraordinary life.

Book Description
The chalky remains of a life cut short filled my hands as I watched my faith slip through the cracks between my fingers. As ordained clergy, I've officiated a lot of funerals. For fourteen years, I shaped burnt ash across congregants' foreheads each year before Lent and reminded them that we all come from dust. To dust we shall return. This day, as I officiated my little brother's funeral, I held the ashes of his body in my bare hands. I'd never done this with anyone else's remains, but I wanted to somehow touch him one last time, to feel his pain and let his torment fall through my fingers, as fragments of his bones clung to my palms. Duster to dust. Computer duster killed my brother. The chalky remains of a life cut short filled my hands as I watched my faith slip through the cracks between my fingers. As ordained clergy, I've officiated a lot of funerals. For fourteen years, I shaped burnt ash across congregants' foreheads each year before Lent and reminded them that we all come from dust. To dust we shall return. This day, as I officiated my little brother's funeral, I held the ashes of his body in my bare hands. I'd never done this with anyone else's remains, but I wanted to somehow touch him one last time, to feel his pain and let his torment fall through my fingers, as fragments of his bones clung to my palms. Duster to dust. Computer duster killed my brother. The winds of early March whipped through my grandfather's muscadine vineyard, the place where my brother and I played hide-and-seek throughout our childhood, the sugary scent of late Georgia summer tickling our noses as we ran and swatted mosquitoes. The farm had been a place of solace for both of us and remained so into adulthood, as a tattered family riddled with divorce, addiction, and abuse cobbled together picnic tables long enough to fit all the extended relatives at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Now, we memorialized my thirty-three-year-old brother, as my ninety-year-old grandfather sat small in a folding chair with the scarves, blankets, and coats of all five of his children heaped upon his tiny frame. If it weren't for the death and sadness, the sight of our frail patriarch peeking out from under mounds of outerwear would have been quite comical. You see, my little brother, Carl, was not religious. In fact, he was anti-religious. He embodied his disdain for organized religion with a profound love for the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. As I am a professor of religion, Carl could hold his own with me when discussing world religions, and I would dare say he knew more about Christian history, scripture, and theology than most people who profess the faith. This was in large part because my brother was an intelligent critical thinker, and in small part because he deplored the way most churches treated his queer big sister. But organized religions were not for Carl, so he opted to study and parody them with the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Started as a protest against right-wing discrimination, the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster holds a light-hearted view of religion and jokingly calls its adherents "pastafarians." So, the colander is a highly esteemed satirical symbol. You know. Because it drains pasta. In addition to omitting any references to god throughout his funeral, I also opted to wear the colander on my head, passing it around whenever anyone wanted to share a memory or a word of comfort. This probably seems blasphemous to many. As an ordained clergywoman, I think it's pretty damn funny.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A fascinating look at how consumers perceive logos, ads, commercials, brands, and products.”—Time How much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today’s message-cluttered world? In Buyology, Martin Lindstrom presents the astonishing findings from his groundbreaking three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study—a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what captures our interest—and drives us to buy. Among the questions he explores: • Does sex actually sell? • Does subliminal advertising still surround us? • Can “cool” brands trigger our mating instincts? • Can our other senses—smell, touch, and sound—be aroused when we see a product? Buyology is a fascinating and shocking journey into the mind of today's consumer that will captivate anyone who's been seduced—or turned off—by marketers' relentless attempts to win our loyalty, our money, and our minds.
