Mandy realizes he has never truly encountered his true Indian self before. Through candid discussions, he confronts his own fears and ignorance about India. When it is time for him to return to the US, he is increasingly reconciled with his suppressed identity: Mandeep. IDENTITY IN A SHRINKING WORLD Amit Dasgupta is an Indian diplomat.

Though the Roman Catholic Church already had centuries of success using similar methods, applying the concept to the US was more difficult, as conservative fundamentalists and evangelicals were numerically necessary to form the whole of the religious right.

Stalking the Tricksters Shapeshifters, Skinwalkers, Dark Adepts and 2012 By Christopher O’Brien The hidden cultural subject of tricksters, redefined from a new, fresh perspective: Are tricksters using knowledge of collective superstition to inhabit and manipulate the modern world? Cryptids, elementals, werewolves, vanishing hitchhikers, demons and dancing devils have permeated human belief for millennia, but today, very little is publicly known about The Trickster persona. But why not? And who are they? What is their agenda? Graced by many names, including fools, sages, coyotes, Loki, men-in-black, skinwalkers, shapeshifters jokers, jinn, sorcerers, and witches, Tricksters can provide us a direct conduit to the unknown in the 21st Century. Can these denizens of phenomenal events be attempting to communicate a warning to humanity in this uncertain age of prophesized change? O’Brien uncovers intriguing accounts that suggest there are, indeed, beings walking among us able to utilize fantastic abilities. WHY IS THERE A TRICKSTER IN EVERY CULTURE? Christopher O’Brien investigates the mysterious San Luis Valley (CO/NM), America’s most anomalous region, and his Mysterious Valley book series and numerous TV appearances have been appreciated by millions. He has spent 13 years in the field chasing UFOs, Bigfoot, prairie dragons and other fantastic tricksterlike phenomena.

There is only one river in the Near East that does exactly this, and that is the long oasis-garden of the Nile and valley and its division into the original four branches of the Nile Delta. This observation is the core of Ellis’ extraordinary retelling of Genesis, in which Adam and Eve were actually Akhenaton and Nefertiti. Even Genesis is a distillation of Akhenaton’s original Hymn to the Aten. Thus, the Garden of Eden was originally the Garden of Aten (Akhenaton’s god), and it is located at Amarna in Middle Egypt. 5,000 SOLD OF PREVIOUS EDITION Eden in Egypt A Translation of the Book of Genesis Out of the Original Egyptian Text New Revised Edition ISBN: 978-1-931882-95-8 PREVIOUS ISBN: 978-0-932813-98-5 $24.00 | paper ALSO AVAILABLE 6x9 370 pages 16 Color Plates March New Age ADVENTURES UNLIMITED PRESS King Jesus 978-1-931882-86-6 40 | SCB DISTRIBUTORS | SPRING 2009 Ellis also demonstrates that Hebrew is a direct descendant of the ancient Egyptian language, in which the Bible was originally written.

Contrary to perceived common knowledge, the 1898 US takeover of this independent nation of long standing was America’s first venture into overseas imperialism, the antecedent to the colonization of the Philippines, and, currently, the occupation of Iraq. After the 1893 overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy, the interim government borrowed heavily from the Jim Crow American South. In 1895, Hawaiians revolted, but the imperialist ideas of the Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt and the American sea power advocate, Alfred Mahan, took hold. wrote for UPI, was Bureau Chief of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin and is a film producer.

Hoxsey Therapy When Natural Cures for Cancer Became Illegal; The Historical Autobiogaphy of Harry Hoxsey, ND By Harry Hoxsey An historical account of the battle between Naturopath Harry Hoxsey and the AMA and the FDA. Harry’s father had a cancerous horse on his Illinois farm; it ate in a different pasture from the rest of the herd and was cured, and Hoxsey’s dad was inspired to investigate why. On his deathbed, Harry’s father asked his son to make natural herbs with cancer-curative properties available to the public. For the rest of his own life, this dedicated naturopath battled traditional medicine in one of the longest legal wars in history. Eventually Dr. Hoxsey won his day in court with the AMA and proved that the Hoxsey formulas cured cancer. Within days, the FDA padlocked 17 Hoxsey therapy clinics in major US cities, so the clinic was moved to Tijuana, Mexico, where it operates today.

Perhaps the era of bitch-lit is upon us.” – S.B.Kelly in Scotland on Sunday “Laura’s ten-point plan to marry David is one of the funniest and saddest things I have read in a while. This is a dark, toothy, elegant winner.” – Philip Womack in The Literary Review “The light and chirpy writing and exaggerated characters are strangely compelling despite their actions ... funny...” – The Big Issue A thoroughly jaundiced black comedy, one of those rare books without a single likeable character, and all the better for it. Bitchlit, indeed. Stress for Laura Denver-Barrette consists of wondering whether to have the dining room done ‘in a pinky shade of red or a reddy shade of pink,’ but she has a problem. She loathes her husband David, a boring lawyer who leaves bits of butter in the jam, among other despicable acts. This is tricky, though, because it is his money that enables her to live as she does.

Gherasim Luca Tomb for 500,000 Soldiers New Revised Edition By Pierre Guyotat Introduction by Stephen Barber “One of the most essential books of our time.” – Michel Foucault “Pierre Guyotat is violent, transgressive and inspired. He is the last great avant-garde visionary of the 20th Century.” – Edmund White This unique elision of brutal warfare and sexual ecstasy is acclaimed as a great modern French novel. Completed when its author was only 25 – and never before published in English – this brilliant new version retains all of the original’s detonating sensory power. Guyotat hallucinated the novel as a young soldier during the Algerian War, as he gazed out at night from a desert watchtower. Coalescing elements from mythology, Lautréamont’s Maldoror and Luis Bruñel’s Los Olvidados, he assembled a vision of contemporary life as a relentless display degradation, in which only catastrophic eruptions of atrocity in depraved sex acts possess meaning for the book’s lacerated human figures. ■ ■ translated by Romain Slocombe THE GREAT ANTI-WAR NOVEL, NOW IN ENGLISH taught at several European universities Pierre Guyotat, born in 1940, is a féted novelist whose works examine the violence of language, sexuality, politics, racism, and war.
