Book Description
The Passionate Heart: Sacred Poetry For The Heart, is an inspiring collection of poems and photographs. Here, readers will discover the work of a mature poet, as he weaves lyrical imagery together with astonishing passion, creating verses that tell of deep beauty, philosophy, spirituality, and love. With emotive stanzas that stir the senses, grip the emotions, and move the soul. Inspired from experiences, events, memorable books, movies, places, and such, each poem evokes strong feelings—sometimes of bliss, of sorrow, or of love. Some written in rhyme while others in free-verse, these short yet emotive poems also touch on topics like magic, truth, prejudice, nature, passion, and more. Furthermore, also included are meaningful photographs that heighten the readers’ feelings, taking them on a journey of inspiration from one page to the next. In his poem “Die With Me,” the poet talks of things that matter the most: “Let us learn how to die / So we can learn how to live / Drink every drop / Savor every ray of sunshine / Inhale the fragrances all around us / Be the beauty”. In “Worth Living For,” the poet talks of beauty, nature, and joy: “What makes life worth living for you? / I live for beauty / To behold a field of wildflowers / On a mountaintop”.

Book Description
From "Mother Earth" to "Mother Nature," women have for centuries been associated with nature. Feminists, troubled by the way in which such representations show women controlled by powerful natural forces and confined to domestic space, have sought to distance themselves from nature. In Undomesticated Ground, Stacy Alaimo issues a bold call to reclaim nature as feminist space. Her analysis of a remarkable range of feminist writings—as well as of popular journalism, visual arts, television, and film—powerfully demonstrates that nature has been and continues to be an essential concept for feminist theory and practice.Alaimo urges feminist theorists to rethink the concept of nature by probing the vastly different meanings that it carries. She discusses its significance for Americans engaged in social and political struggles from, for example, the "Indian Wars" of the early nineteenth century, to the birth control movement in the 1920s, to contemporary battles against racism and heterosexism. Reading works by Catherine Sedgwick, Mary Austin, Emma Goldman, Nella Larson, Donna Haraway, Toni Morrison, and others, Alaimo finds that some of these writers strategically invoke nature for feminist purposes while others cast nature as a postmodern agent of resistance in the service of both environmentalism and the women's movement.By examining the importance of nature within literary and political texts, this book greatly expands the parameters of the nature writing genre and establishes nature as a crucial site for the cultural work of feminism.

Book Description
As Albert Einstein lay on his death bed he asked for his glasses, his writing implements and his latest equations. He knew he was dying, yet he continued to work. In those final hours of his life, while fading in and out of consciousness, he was working on what he hoped would be the greatest work of all. It was a project of monumental complexity. It was a project that he hoped would unlock the mind of God.

Book Description
This is the third book in the series of Influences from the Inner Domain. All three books tell a story of the often-overlooked component of every being: their spirit domain, and why it is such a necessary component of all beings. The spirit domain is important for many reasons. It keeps us centered and on track through our journey around life’s circular path. It orchestrates and coordinates the internal workings, communications, and for most of the existence of beings was the primary influence to the mind component. It provided the mind with materials from its stores of knowledge and experience to influence and guide it, since the beginning of time. Unlike the other components of a being, spirits never die. They are reassigned to a newborn, retaining all they have gathered through time to support past, present, and future beings. Spirits, from their domain, also influenced motion and movement from the being’s physical component. This gave the being fuller flexibility, dexterity, and movement capabilities. Most important of all, it’s in the spirit domain that life itself for each being is centered and originates. This last book in the series tells of how the spirit domain’s influence diminishes over time and of the other internal components and influence becoming the more dominant drivers. It tells how the cost of this loss is great. As depicted in this third book the spirit domain continues to strive to contribute to the being’s existence, but is much hampered through the fourth and final quadrant of life’s circle to retain some contribution and an identity in determining who we are, how we act, and why we behave the way we do. There is still goodness and evil in this part of the stories, but more subtle from the spirits and their domains, and stronger from other influences from the being’s inner domain. The magic and mystical begins to dissipate. The beings and the civilization prepare for the closing of life’ circle. New ones will soon begin and follow.

Book Description
The complexity of the twenty-first century threat landscape contrasts markedly with the bilateral nuclear bargaining context envisioned by classical deterrence theory. Nuclear and conventional arsenals continue to develop alongside anti-satellite programs, autonomous robotics or drones, cyber operations, biotechnology, and other innovations barely imagined in the early nuclear age. The concept of cross-domain deterrence (CDD) emerged near the end of the George W. Bush administration as policymakers and commanders confronted emerging threats to vital military systems in space and cyberspace. The Pentagon now recognizes five operational environments or so-called domains (land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace), and CDD poses serious problems in practice. In Cross-Domain Deterrence, Erik Gartzke and Jon R. Lindsay assess the theoretical relevance of CDD for the field of International Relations. As a general concept, CDD posits that how actors choose to deter affects the quality of the deterrence they achieve. Contributors to this volume include senior and junior scholars and national security practitioners. Their chapters probe the analytical utility of CDD by examining how differences across, and combinations of, different military and non-military instruments can affect choices and outcomes in coercive policy in historical and contemporary cases.
