    GOLDEN GRACE, A Journey through Healing is the first book written by a patient that documents the human energy field and its motion during surgery. It correlates vibrations of consciousness to the development of disease, and therapeutic approaches to healing through a balanced energetic environment. The road to wellness is more than physical energy; it includes the balancing of emotional and spiritual energies as well. The author introduces the concept of total healing at the cellular and spiritual level, telling her story through a medical experience. When she had bi-lateral mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction, she included a medical intuitive as part of her surgical team. The account of this innovative surgery and recovery to wellness will inspire readers to look at disease and preventative medicine with a new understanding. People today are searching for alternative methods of self-healing in a worldwide spiritual evolution. The author's story travels from the wind-sculpted sandstone cliffs of the American West to the verdant landscape of the east where she seeks treatments from a Native American Shaman. Together, they form an arc of contrasts born of different cultures with a common goal; bringing light to others. GOLDEN GRACE chronicles the risks that are linked to breast cancer cases, and suggests both environmental and lifestyle changes that may mitigate the impacts of toxins and industrial influences on our health. The author also describes nature, color and light into designs for healing spaces. These principles are effective regardless of the reader's age, gender, and state of health.They provide a guide for maintaining wellness. A follow up book is in the works: "Listen to the Land-Earth Speaks"The author clearly illustrates the high risk of living in some areas of the United States and its long term environmental impacts on health. The sequel will detail the effects of pesticides, water, food, product chemicals, nuclear power, fossil fuels, electromagnetic fields, and other questionable influences on the environments in which we live or die. When we see earth as a community to which we belong, we may then begin to honor it with love and respect.

    "When Bill Clinton was elected president in 1992, he was surrounded by advisors with radical ideas about everything from economic management to health care reform to labor relations to social policy. With the White House and Congress under full Democratic control, a new, more equitable vision of American capitalism seemed possible-even likely. And indeed, over the course of the 1990s, the economy performed remarkably well, real wages rose, and unemployment was at a 25-year low. In a 2001 book, Alan Blinder and Janet Yellen would term it "The Fabulous Decade." And yet today, Clinton's 8 years in office are seen by those on the left as a monumental failure, with these short-term gains achieved thanks to a full-sale capitulation to the neoliberal ideology of the right, which brought with it financial deregulation, privatization of government services, and the growth of class inequalities. In this comprehensive and sweeping political history of the 1990s, Nelson Lichtenstein considers why the Clinton White House ended up embracing neoliberalism so fully, despite the array of other options available-options being championed by those around Clinton, and sometimes even Clinton itself. Exploring the major issues of the time-deficit politics, NAFTA, labor relations, tech regulation, mass incarceration, and more-Lichtenstein reveals an "intellectual history of an economy that wasn't," and explores why neoliberalism was cemented into the US's economic and financial system by the end of Clinton's term in office"--

  • - Race and Class in Modern Society

    In the years during and after World War I the Pan-Africanist Marcus Garvey led what has been called the largest international mass movement of black people in the twentieth century. He and his organization, the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), built a steamship line, sponsored expeditions to Liberia, staged annual international conventions, inspired many black business enterprises, endorsed black political candidates, and fostered the study of black history and culture.Judith Stein has not written a conventional biography, though Garvey is the central character. The book is more a study of Garvey's ideology and appeal and of the UNIA and the social basis of its support. Stein examines Garvey's movement in light of the dialectic of race and class that shaped it. Whereas other historians have depicted Garveyism variously as a back-to-Africa, civil rights, or Black Power movement, Stein places Garvey and the UNIA carefully in the context of the international black politics and economics of the period. She analyzes the ways in which the UNIA was a response to the social and political upheaval of world War I and its aftermath. Garvey and other UNIA leaders were part of an international elite of blacks who applauded the triumph of capitalism, though they excoriated the new order's racial discrimination, which denied people like themselves places of prestige in it. Their response to exclusion from the mainstream Western economic world was to construct black institutions modeled on those of white elites. The Black Star Line, the UNIA's steamship company, was just such a venture, and though Garvey's goal of incorporating the black working class into his movement seemed promising briefly after World War I, it ultimately failed. The promise of Garveyism, supported by ideologies generated by the new social movements of the 1920s, was undercut by UNIA leaders' doomed effort to adapt a bourgeois mode of operation to a mass movement. Garveyism was fatally flawed by the ultimate disjunction of its elite methods and mass base. In addition to her reevaluation of standard views of Garvey and Garveyism, Stein sheds new light on her subject with her use of new sources. Among the most interesting of these are her interviews with surviving Garveyites and reports on Garvey by agent of the federal government's intelligence organizations.Judith Stein is the first historian both to take Garveyism seriously and to treat it in its own right as a product of its own time. The resulting study should be of great interest to anyone interested in Garvey, his historical period, or the ways in which his work and ideology still influence us today.

    This text uses the steel industry to examine liberal policies and priorities after World War I, arguing that the primacy of foreign committments and outdated economic policies of state transformed American liberalism from the progressivism of the New Deal to the policies of the 1990s.
