A skilled explorer of the possibilities of healing through unconventional methods, Barbara Brennan is gifted with the ability to see and affect energy colors and patterns in and around the body--an ability she says everyone potentially has. Deep and thorough healing occurs, she explains, through the honoring of subtle energies on physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual levels.
Dr. Goswami delivers this most encouraging statement: 'Consciousness in its primacy is joy. Once we have a taste of this primal joy, we can never forget it.' He’s an Indian-born physicist and philosopher who has been pursuing a deeper truth in science which has led him to the conclusion that understanding human consciousness is central to understanding modern physics.
Mack presents evidence pro and con, and various speculative explanations of many aspects of the UFO abductions. Despite a lack of conclusive proof for or against the reality of abductions, Mack says, 'If the mystery's there, we might as well embrace it rather than run from it.'
Rush Limbaugh is a way of life for over twelve million avid and devoted listeners.

Here he holds forth on such subjects as: Anita Hill, The Homeless Fraud, The Media, and many others.Tackling the hottest topics of the times from Feminazis to Environmentalist Wackos, Rush Limbaugh is at his satirical best---the provocative conservative and the showman who is "documented to be almost always right 97.9% of the time" about The Way Things Ought To Be.
In this partially autobiographical work, best-selling author Lewis Thomas offers insights on subjects as wide-ranging as gender differences, how it feels to be a patient, human vs. computer intelligence, the future of cancer research, and the longevity of the planet-interspersing all with charming anecdotes about his family, his colleagues and himself.
What are the future directions of science? Intriguing research is being done, particularly by Russian scientists, on the relationships of energy, mind and matter. In the United States, however, the mechanistic approach still holds sway on science and education, and there are still tremendous obstacles to the funding of unconventional scientific research. Biophysicist Beverly Rubik reminds us that, “We have barely begun a science of life.” Much more work needs to be done, with a more open-minded attitude, to build a bridge from the frontier to the mainstream of science.
Modern chemistry emerged from the historical traditions of metalworking (beginning as early as the Bronze Age in 3500 BC); medicine (especially 'iatrochemistry', which emerged in the Renaissance); and alchemy (the medieval and mystical forerunner of chemistry). Alchemy was based on the Aristotelian concept of elements (earth, air, water, and fire) and Platonic ideas about pure 'essences' (i.e. ideal forms). The modern idea of a chemical element began to emerge in Robert Boyle's The Sceptical Chymist (1661). Boyle established a systematic approach to a vast subject in which detail frequently obscured basic principles. The 18th century theory of 'phlogiston' appeared to explain combustion and respiration as giving off an 'inflammable' substance. In 1774 Joseph Priestly discovered 'dephlogisticated air' (later called oxygen). In Paris, Antoine Lavoisier recognized the real significance of this discovery, and used it to revolutionize chemistry through his 1789 work Traite elementaire de chimie. A chemical theory of atoms emerged in the early 19th century, and 31 new elements were discovered between 1790 and 1830. Dmitry Mendeleyev laid out the periodic table in 1869. Chemistry was ushered into the 20th century by organic chemistry, valence theory, and the electron theory of chemical bonding. Chemistry and physics would now be linked in an alliance that has had dramatic consequences for scientific progress and the modern standard of living.
Whether he is discussing our origins as archaebacteria or the politics of trench warfare, physician-scientist Lewis Thomas is always insightful and exuberantly engaged in his world. This collection of essays deals with everything from AIDS to ozone depletion, and reveals the author's clear thinking and his ability to cut through the fog of modern problems.
Roszak calls for 'a new psychology that sees us as part of an evolving universe.' This requires learning from more natural and ancient modes of integrating the person and habitat, and developing a respect for primal mental processes such as those of children. 'Let's keep the kids as sane as they were born,' he says.
Have a favorite animal in your life? Want to relate to animals in a different way? Linda Tellington-Jones opens our eyes to an innovative, effective method of improving our animals' health and temperament, and of experiencing the deep joy of communicating with another species.
Murphy is a cartographer for the unexplored territory of the body. In the same vein as William James and Abraham Maslow, Murphy extends the mapping to movement abilities, extraordinary vitality, changes in body structure, and miraculous healings, to name a few.
These two great minds have joined together to explore the exciting parallels and compatibility of thought in Buddhism, Christianity and modern physics. In the “new paradigm” of thinking, there is a shift from the alienation-producing authority model to one of cooperative thinking, in which we can truly develop a deep sense of belonging to a greater whole. This, they say, is the central aim of spirituality, ecology and perhaps all of human endeavor.
