Issues. They are the conflagrations, the bonfires, the burning controversies so profound, so personal they move people to take action and generate the momentum to change the political system and the course of history. Be it the Boston Tea Party of 1773, Jacob Coxey's Army, the Bonus Army March of June 1932, the National Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam, the Women's March of January 2018, or March for Our Lives to end gun violence in America in March of 2018, all came about because of Americans motivated by issues so much so they took their message of change to the street. Driven by issues which galvanized public opinion, people protested, demonstrating public solidarity for a cause. Earth Day: America at the Environmental Crossroads is a political history focusing on the issues which generated the first Earth Day in April 1970. It is about the people who brought about this momentous political turning point during a period in American history of unprecedented turmoil and political protest. Open its cover, and you will learn about the agents of change. Some have risen to take their place in the pantheon of environmental history; others are all but forgotten in the collective public mind. It begins with herbicide contamination and the Cranberry Scare of November 1959 then explains the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam and its impact on the environmental movement. Though the use of two nuclear weapons by the United States military ended World War II in the Pacific, the inevitable arms race with the Soviet Union during the Cold War led to the testing of these weapons of mass destruction. The second chapter explains how nuclear contaminated fallout became a health threat and a concern for environmentalists and the general public. Overpopulation seems to be a nonissue today. During the decades prior to Earth Day in 1970, the world's population numbers were a concern of monumental importance. This is the focus of chapter three. No credible treatment of the twentieth century environmental movement would be complete without addressing the contribution of Rachel Carson and her book Silent Spring. Unlike pesticides, the effects of which oftentimes surface years after exposure, deteriorating air quality burned the eyes and made it difficult to breathe. Polluted air particularly in the country's urban areas not only left an indelible impression in the minds of environmentalists, but it also threatened public health. And clean water, taken for granted today by most Americans, is the subject of chapter six, which describes the extent to which the country's waterways were part of a multibillion-dollar restoration project on the part of the states mandated by the federal government. The seventh chapter is a retelling of the oil spill disaster in Santa Barbara, California, and the radical fringe of the environmental movement which manifested itself before Earth Day, a fitting precursor to the event itself the subject of the final chapter.

There is light at the end of the tunnel!Cindy, for years, has been trying to be healthier and stronger after a life of abuse and confusion. The fact that she's alive and not locked up somewhere is a miracle. Cindy talked and sang to God in her front lawn to a tree when she was only four years old. She sang, This Little Light of Mine, since she was in so much pain and didn't want other people to hurt as much as she was. This book is a story that journals Cindy's life, that she is an amazing woman of God, whose faith and desire to get healthy got her through all the craziness of her life, that one day she will be completely healed from all her abuse. Cindy's desire is to place this story in the hands of people who believe that God is present even in a life of craziness and abuse, that no means no, that their choices do matter, that they can end their pain, that Cindy's story can give them strength and encouragement when they see no light at the end of the tunnel, and that one day they can be healed too.

Thoughts and questions about "e;The Mother"e; fill my heart, occupy my brain, and inhabit my spirit. There are so many "e;what-ifs"e; and "e;should've,"e; "e;would've,"e; "e;could'ves."e; Lots of us wonder who we were. A few know and are proud of who we are. Then there are those of us who dream of who and what we want to be. The title of this Book was chosen to be what it is because I'm empathetic towards those that are less fortunate than me. It has nothing to do with possessions and even less to do with locations. It (to me) has everything to do with messages. Ones that need to be said and heard. Not just from me, by me, or for me, but "e;us."e; I'm speaking from the perspective of individuals who do not have a voice. Males, females, young, old, aware, mentally asleep, strong, and struggling. For those who think their spiritual requests are shouted loudly but still go unheard. There are so many things that need to be said to so many people and this is just the start. To those, these, and my people...God hears you. Lord, guide my mind, my pen, and my mouth. Use me however you see fit.

A self-imposed quest turns into an adventure that Lyn never expected. After finding the men who killed her father, she searches out the one who ordered it.

When she finds herself in a position she was born to but not raised in, her natural abilities surface.

It is a thousand, thousand years into the future and our world has changed. This is a world of super science, high technology, and a world of magical wonders. It is a world made of many genetically-altered human beings and a few creatures rumored to be not of this world. A small fraction of the population has an ability to use their minds with telekinetic abilities; some far beyond the ability of the average human. Many men use their super mind-powered abilities to help others and for bettering of mankind; however, others may use their abilities for selfish gains and to gain power hoping for world conquest. Anyone that uses his/her superhuman abilities for evil gain are called Inmortal humans, and anyone that uses his/her abilities for good are Immortal (or Emmortal) humans. Both sides continually clash with each other. While one side strives to control mankind and wants man under their control, the good immortals want man to live in peace, love, and harmony. This is the world of the muffins. Muffins are little blue-headed humans whom many evil inmortals hate. Now, read on and let your imagination flow to New America, once in a coming time.

We are earthen vessels for the Creator God. His light shines on us with the seven candlesticks of the menorah from above with star lights keeping the cross of Christ in our hearts so that what is as above is also with us below. God wants us to live life in peace and to depart in fullest capacity, rejecting evil. He may appear slow in anger, but He is rich in blessings and forgiveness. We exist in creation with our souls and spirits wearing organic and inorganic matter. We are most virtuous and worthy. We live in matter but apart from matter with a yearning to know the Creator who does not dwell in matter. With our devoted practices in religions, we try to come close to adorn Him, and with our rigor in science, we try to discover Him. His presence cannot be found upon by us from the lower three dimensions where we live on earth. Our searching methodologies and equations have no meaning unless they express the thoughts of Almighty God who dwells in the higher, nonmaterial, seven dimensions above, residing below on earth. A designed, predetermined time on earth is approaching steadily. We will be transformed, and we shall proclaim, "e;As below on earth so above in the heavens, and as above in the heavens so below on earth. All are one, unified together, integrated under the divine will of God as ONE."e; His mysterious, three-dimensional universe is beyond extraordinary. It is full of natural lights coming from His stars, the seven bright stars of His constellations. The supernatural lights of the higher seven dimensions are behind them to maintain their existence. Together they make the "e;tree of divine dimensions."e; They all will manifest in the Millennium Age to deliver the new heavens with the new earth to initiate the New World for humanity. The heavens and earth will be one under the Creator of all, God in His holy triduum.

A unique and gifted actor once bucked the system in Hollywood. This is the life story of movie and TV actor Dale Robertson, told by the person who knew him best: his wife, Susan. Susan says she is not a professional writer but wanted to write this book totally herself with her own thoughts, ideas, time frame, and no ghost writer. She laughs when someone says, "e;Well, you are a writer now."e;As she states in the book, Dale would joke when someone would approach him to do his autobiography. He'd say, "e;Not now."e; It was because he did not know how it ended. Also he would remind them of all the thousands of interviews he had done over the years and to "e;let the younger actors do these interviews now."e; Because the autobiography had not been done, Susan wanted to do it to help in some way to preserve his legacy. Susan now resides in San Diego, California, to be closer to family and hopes folks will enjoy the book. She knows her husband better and that he did not compromise himself in the film industry and in life.

As I traveled across the prairie coming out of Socorro, New Mexico, the morning sun was just beginning to rise in the east. The powerful V-twin and the cool morning air made me feel so alive. It was at this moment that, as the sun lit the mountains with a purple glow to my left and a herd of antelope galloped across the plains to my right, that Ray Charles singing "e;America"e; came across my speakers. All I could do was pull over, sit there in quiet solitude, and look around as this song played and think how lucky I am to live in this amazing country and to see its beauty. This was one of the most moving experiences I have ever felt in my many trips across this country. My trusty motorcycle named Traveler has taken me on so many wonderful adventures. My hope is that this book will inspire you to take off on your own adventures and live your life with no regrets.

The residents of Baybridge on the west coast of Ireland were forgiving of the damp climate except when the clothes failed to dry on the line. Even on those days, they would not forfeit the stunning scenery surrounding them. Fiona Hannon, a local social worker, shared their sentiments and felt she knew her neighbours well. This belief was brought into question when compelling circumstances wove the lives of a ten-year-old girl, a retired teacher returned from India, a grumpy betting man with a green thumb, and the local shopkeeper into a multilayered fabric. Fiona found herself comparing the events of each day to hanging clothes on a clothesline. It was impossible to know at the start what these items would be. Would they flutter in the wind, drying easily, or remain too sodden to lift? No two clotheslines were alike, not even your own.

In a war-torn, backwater fantasy world where food, and even shoes are hard to come by, Droden and his companions must find a way to survive. They also want to help the kingdom survive against the armies of evil. When the huge Barbarian Horde begins to advance on Rahntown, Droden, Skiggurd, Twillos, and Grog set off in quest of the magical sword Deathknell, which could turn the tide of battle and save the kingdom of Rahn-if they can get the legendary weapon. Later, when the far larger Skeleton Army attacks, not even Deathknell would be enough. Droden must find a way to win against a massive, unbeatable army. But how?

Poor Capone. He just moved to New York City, the Big Apple. But Capone is having trouble finding the big apple. With determination and a little bit of luck, he finally finds his big apple. Now he feels like a true New Yorker.

The author has been a psychiatrist for thirty-nine years and has worked with thousands of patients. His impression is that many of their problems have to do with the way they process or deal with information. Often, maladaptive pathways of thinking are employed to the person's detriment. When this occurs, it tends to be repeated again and again and becomes habitual. Eventually, symptoms such as anxiety, depression, suicidal feelings and addiction are generated and become more and more problematic. In the author's experience, this can be interrupted by mentally training oneself to only travel down adaptive pathways of thinking. With this approach, old pathways of thinking are abandoned. There are a number of techniques that can be employed to establish and reinforce newer adaptive pathways of thinking. It's not for everybody and should not be used exclusively, but first and foremost among techniques is mindfulness. The author has seen it work again and again. Introduced to the world by Buddha for the purpose of enlightenment, nowadays it is used for mental health issues. The mindfulness here is different from the type taught in DBT. The author is not saying that DBT mindfulness doesn't work; it's just that he has seen better outcomes with the type he teaches. He learned the basics of it at IMS at Barre, Massachusetts, during various meditation retreats. Modern psychology does not address the invisible spiritual worlds that interface with the physical world. According to religious teachings, these worlds really exist and forces from them can influence our thinking. Reportedly, an archangel rebelled against God and was booted out of heaven. A third of the angels went down with him to earth. They seek to have us act in such a way so that when we die, they can claim our souls and torture us in hell. The present work at least addresses this issue. Likewise, energy medicine is discussed briefly.

Bursting upon the National Hockey League scene in the fall of 1966 amid enormous hype and expectations, Robert Gordon "e;Bobby"e; Orr would go on to exceed all predictions of greatness. Displaying All-Star level ability from the start, it was his talent as a play maker and scorer that utterly revolutionized the game of hockey. At the same time, Orr helped revive a tired, long-suffering Boston Bruins team, leading them to their first Stanley Cup in twenty-nine years at the age of twenty-two. Orr and company would drink from the Cup again two years later as he continued to cement his legacy with MVP Awards and Norris Trophies. The unforgettable sight of him rushing the puck up ice with blond hair flying was a thing of sheer athletic beauty. But Orr's fragile knees plagued him throughout his career, ultimately forcing him to retire before the age of thirty. But in his ten years with the Bruins, the remarkable body of work and the greatness he achieved prompt many hockey historians to regard him as the all-around greatest, most skillful player in history. Number 4: Bobby Orr! is the most ambitious in-depth look at Orr and the Bruins' greatest decade.

Master Sergeant William Cornett (United States Air Force) became yet another countless victim of the Department of Defense (DoD) noncombat health care system in the fall of 2013. His death was the direct result of unqualified people practicing medicine. Upon entering his provider's names through the National Provider Identifier (NPI) registry, it was noticed the individuals that signed their credentials as doctors were actually licensed as a student and a general practice dentist. In the twenty-first century, the DoD is abusing the casualty provisions put in place by President Abraham Lincoln to "e;care for him who shall have borne the battle, his widow, and orphan"e; to justify the most egregious medical disabilities and deaths of active duty service personnel and their families (Lincoln 1865). Military health care as currently provided by the DoD is driven by the Feres Doctrine, an antiquated law dating back to 1950. This law guarantees three items, including (1) the destruction of the integrity of military service families, (2) the inability of the military to be at its very best when defending the national and international interests of the United States, and (3) the continued abuse of casualty provisions with no accountability for this agency as it polices itself. It is long overdue to bring the DoD noncombat health care system into the twenty-first century. This includes ensuring all noncombat health care is administered by board-certified medical providers practicing within the scope of their practice and following the same EBP standards as their civilian counterparts. Although this type of health care is already mandated by the DOD Manual 6025.13, the standards are not being followed. Bringing the DoD health care system into the twenty-first century and amending the Feres Doctrine to apply only to combat health care is necessary (1) to protect the integrity of military service families, (2) to ensure the military will be at its best when defending the interests of this great nation, and (3) to provide a checks and balances system with accountability and oversight for an agency that is failing those that signed to defend our cherished freedoms!

The Unsaid: Thoughts of a Quiet Man is poetry in a musical format. The title describes the author's personality and speaks volumes about his narrative, creativity, and thought process, giving insight into the mind of a musician and the different stages of conception. Ideas, verses, choruses and bridges, it's all on display for the reader to follow. The author bares his soul on songs like "e;Madonna,"e; a heartfelt plea from one lover to another. They are songs here everyone can relate to and find comfort in, as well as songs that are thought-provoking like "e;Bonnie,"e; a love song that's secretly not a love song. These are genuinely brilliant lyrics that can be enjoyed whether written or recorded. Some songs contained in this book were written for other artists to record and perform.

The Civil War and the years of Reconstruction had finally ended. The small town of Tuskegee, Alabama, had quietly adjusted to the changes. I Am That I Am takes us to this demure town. Just when the scalawags and carpetbaggers ceased their tumultuous attempts to reorganize the South, a more sinister enemy appeared. The endless stretches of cotton flourishing during the hot days of summer abruptly ended. The ominous boll weevil with its insatiable appetite threatened the economy of the South. The white cotton was now brown and dying on the vines. Sarah, once a part of the antebellum gentry, proved to be a staunch ray of hope for both her family and her neighbors. One neighbor in particular was the equally resolute paradigm of Southern love and hospitality. This neighbor was Zachariah, a kind and humble soul who was raising his two granddaughters, Elizabeth and Mary. When Dr. George Washington Carver came to the recently opened school for Negroes (as the African Americans were called in those day), he found the help given by people such as Sarah and Zachariah, a refreshing reminder of God's providential hand. Even more surprising was the tenacious love of the people that transcended any color barriers that many would assume existed. Dr. Carver, a botanist, soon found the rare yet simple solution to the boll weevil epidemic-the tiny insect called the beetle. If only Sarah could find a solution to the dark and mysterious cloud that seemed to aggrieve her daughter-in-law. If only Zachariah could solve the mystery of the disappearing food from the barn.

Back before the world was formed, there were three beasts: the Ice Wolf, the Fire Lion, and the Darkness Dragon. They were coined as the Beasts of Destruction. The beasts were only soldiers to the real evil, the monster that devours all. The first Felgrand paladin sealed these beasts in a giant stone slab. Many years have passed since then, and the Beasts of Destruction marks were placed on three chosen individuals to stop the monster that devours all from being released. This story follows Kalin Kurosaki, a young ice master who is still trying to find his way in the world. One day, his brother, Kai, went on a search of the monster that devours all. Kalin now must go on a journey on his own to save his bother. Along with his journey, he will meet powerful allies that will help him and sinister enemies that will test his resolve and his ability as an ice master. Does Kalin have what it takes to overcome these obstacles and save his brother and become his country's next Felgrand paladin?
