In his latest book, David Jay Brown explores one of humankind’s deepest mysteries: the afterlife. Composed primarily of quotes from hundreds of Brown's interviews with cutting-edge scientists, philosophers, and visionary artists, the book covers a wide range of ideas about what happens to consciousness after the body dies. Going far beyond conventional notions of the other side, the book draws insight from quantum physics, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, Eastern philosophy, comparative religion, mysticism, near-death experiences, parapsychology, dream research, shamanism, and experiences with psychedelics. Accompanying the quotes are eye-catching graphics and photos that illustrate important concepts and a brief narrative that ties the ideas together and explores their philosophical significance. Featured thinkers include Terence McKenna, Jack Kevorkian, Timothy Leary, Noam Chomsky, Ram Dass, Jerry Garcia, Robert Anton Wilson, Allen Ginsberg, and Paul Krassner.

As a group, baby boomers are heading rapidly into their "golden years," and there's little doubt that they won't go lightly. But is the process really irrevocable and irreversible? With more financial resources than any other demographic, and the knowledge gained simply by living, boomers are in the best position to at least delay the aging process. This practical guide offers a wealth of ways to do that. Dr. Beverly Potter, who has written numerous books on enhancing one's lifestyle, includes but goes beyond anti-aging and life extension. Youthfulness, she says, is characterized by vigor, flexibility, bounciness, good health, physical shapeliness, beauty, curiosity, and mental acuity — all of which can be achieved through the regimens the book describes. Potter takes a multifaceted approach, incorporating both current science and proven techniques into a program that stresses vitamins, nutrients, healthful foods, and supplements; activities and lifestyles; ways of thinking; sexual techniques; brain fitness training; and more.

As disdain grows for the workings of Washington, patriots across the country have gathered in "tea parties," harkening back to the nation’s roots in 1773 when "No taxation without representation" was the motto. Americans again feel overly taxed by rulers who don’t listen, and the tea parties have grown into a movement comprised of deeply concerned Americans who have never previously participated in any demonstration. With this comes a renewed interest in our unique history as a nation, and Patriots Handbook offers just that. For those interested in actually reading the founding documents and learning about what the Founding Fathers had to say, Patriots Handbook offers our nation’s founding documents, along with inspiring quotes and excerpts about the glorious history of our great nation.
