Analyzing the movement's deep-seated origins in questions that the country has sought too long to ignore, some of the greatest economic minds and most incisive cultural commentators - from Paul Krugman, Robin Wells, Michael Lewis, Robert Reich, Amy Goodman, Barbara Ehrenreich, Gillian Tett, Scott Turow, Bethany McLean, Brandon Adams, and Tyler Cowen to prominent labor leaders and young, cutting-edge economists and financial writers whose work is not yet widely known - capture the Occupy Wall Street phenomenon in all its ragged glory, giving readers an on-the-scene feel for the movement as it unfolds while exploring the heady growth of the protests, considering the lasting changes wrought, and recommending reform. A guide to the occupation, The Occupy Handbook is a talked-about source for understanding why 1% of the people in America take almost a quarter of the nation's income and the long-term effects of a protest movement that even the objects of its attack can find little fault with.

This biography defies the conventional portrait of Frieda Lawrence as "love goddess" and "Earth mother", depicting instaed a strong-willed, independent-minded, creative woman who broke every social and sexual taboo of her time. It takes us through Frieda's tumultous life, from her aristocratic Prussian childhood through to her first marriage to a staid English professor in Nottingham, her wild affair with the cocaine-addicted psychoanalyst and free-love advocate Otto Gross, the scandalous abandonment of her husband and three children for the love of a coal miner's son who would become one of the 20th century's greatest novelists, to her years at Mabel Dodge Luhan's artists' colony in Taos, first with Lawrence and then with her third husband, the handsome if hapless Captain Angelino Ravagli. Frieda appeared in every major novel Lawrence wrote during their 18 years together, from "The Rainbow" to "Lady Chatterley's Lover". She was his most trusted reader and she had an anti-intellectual sure-footedness that helped shape one of the most famously embattled unions of the century.

"Jesus is still in the miracle business!" shares one of the twenty women who reveal the true, short stories of real miracles that took place in their lives. "The Miracle Effect," from FEW International Publications, follows these extraordinary women through the lows of life and highs of an eternal and loving God of mercy and grace. From Cancer remissions, lung transplants, and illnesses, to parenthood, friendships, and marriage, to today's most talked about topics such as PTSD, abortion, and same sex attraction, this collection of soul-enriching stories drives again and again to the heart of a loving God and the miracles He can (and does) still perform in lives today. The collection, inspired by Micah 7:15, which tells us: "...I will show you miracles," will make you cry, laugh, relate, and recognize the Hand of God in everything from the mundane to the...well...miraculous!
