A woman in her late-sixties and her canine friend, Ginger, take off in a Subaru Outback on a journey across the country -- from California to the east coast and back again -- visiting old friends and family, awakening old memories and relationships, while confronting the myriad challenges of a road trip. It is a story packed with surprises – some soul stirring, others humorous, exasperating, frightening, or from other dimensions altogether. We are treated to Rachel’s heartfelt descriptions of flora and fauna and her unique sense of "place", all set in a historical context as she travels over the American landscape.

Here is an exciting, inspiring series of adventures and revelations from the life of John Tettemer, a modern trailblazer, civil engineer, and environmentalist. Tettemer invites us into his youth, writing that he was well prepared for his later work by an unusual upbringing. A maverick from childhood, he grew up in the woods, largely isolated from the outside world, and his principal teacher was Nature, from whom he learned formative lessons about incorruptible truth and the wonders of simplicity. His parents, mavericks themselves, were idealistic, spiritually sensitive pioneers of a freethinking lifestyle that contributed significantly to the boy's developing personality. However, this is far more than a tale of professional accomplishment and personal challenge. It is also a how-to-guide for those who seek insight into how this individualistic pioneer identifies and solves complex engineering and environmental problems, and it includes a detailed explanation of the author's unique, six-step method of Vision-Based Problem-Solving. It also presents his urgent call for a National Environmental Vision 2006¾a prescription, based on his forty years of professional experience, for setting mandatory environmental management goals and practices. Numerous photographs are included.

Without warning, a small group of political radicals in Rome detonates a homemade bomb in an area crowded with up-scale shoppers--and the lives of many innocents are suddenly changed forever. Among them is Angela Bernard, a radiantly beautiful American university professor on her honeymoon, who is hit full-force by the blast and her face is torn apart. Jean-Pierre, her wealthy husband, who had been enchanted by her beauty and raw erotic nature, is now tragically confronted by terrible questions about loyalty to a wife whose mind and body are shattered. Further, and unknown to either of them, is the fact that Angela is pregnant, though she will ultimately discover that the child's father is not Jean-Pierre. Thus begun, this story of crisis and challenge unfolds on an international stage, revealing how strangers brought together by tragedy confront and struggle with passion, guilt, ambition, responsibility, and redemption. Circle in the Water is an exciting, fast-moving tale that follows the intertwined lives of six people who were profoundly affected by the bomb explosion--including two young lovers who come together years later as the book draws toward its remarkable and surprising finale.

The Three Selves concept--a unique approach to spiritual understanding and self-knowledge is thoroughly explained in this remarkable book. From the text: "When this teaching is accepted and understood, each of you will find that you are ready and willing to take this knowledge, to process it, and to become totally aware that you have become teachers in an action of the past, the present, and the future. This is a teaching that shows how each one, lifetime after lifetime, within the Subconscious Awareness, brings these actions in to give human beings the opportunity to have a full understanding of the purpose that has brought them into life."

This exciting story opens with military turmoil and murder a thousand years ago in England. Then it moves swiftly to contemporary America, where Molly Parsons, a beautiful and spirited young graduate student, is drawn into a mystery from that medieval time and place. Moving to England to study, she learns that during the Norman Conquest of 1066, a manuscript was hidden then lost in an obscure monastery, where it lay buried for a millennium. When it is finally uncovered, its enormous historical value comes to the attention of various individuals, including Molly, who recognizes it as a priceless archaeological treasure;. Others, with a similar recognition, are ready to steal it, sell it, and -- as necessary -- kill for it. In the adventure that follows, Molly adds her assertive personality and intellectual strength to the police investigation of theft and murder. She tangles with many people, including dedicated monks, a charming fellow scholar, a ruthless and embittered individual who kills people without remorse, and -- Ogana Leeds, a black African intellectual who suffers cruelly from birth defects. Molly, initially repulsed by Ogana, is finally moved by him to reexamine her deepest feelings about life, emotion, and her responsibilities to others.

Personal Transformation

An attorney is murdered. Another attorney is murdered. And another. It looks, one observer suggests, like somebody here has a serious problem with attorneys! Two surgeons, a man and wife. She ... is sued for malpractice and loses her case-a devastating blow to a proud professional that drives her into terrible despair and finally suicide. He ... watches his wife slowly pushed toward self-destruction by the cynical hostility of prosecutors in a legal system that has lost its concern for justice. But he decides he'll reintroduce justice into the system-his own kind, administered in his own way. Then malpractice attorneys begin to turn up dead. Each one is uniquely executed-and surgically altered in bizarre and disturbing ways. There are no fingerprints, no blood. Few clues are left behind. Usable evidence is sparse. And the killer, as he contemplates what he's accomplished, silently dedicates each murder to the memory of his beloved wife. The police detective assigned to this case, Septimus "Mac" McClymonds, soon confirms that he is in a battle of wits with a most unusual and highly intelligent serial killer. As he carefully studies the details of each crime, attempting to develop a profile of the perpetrator, he finds himself continually frustrated, and he is even taunted with grim humor by macabre notes the murderer leaves on the bodies of his victims, celebrating yet another death. Thus develops a cat-and-mouse game between Mac and his quarry, until the elusive killer finally seems to have been identified and Mac is about to nab him-except for . . . .

The Cloak of Hippocrates is the compelling saga of Alex Morpheus, a boy growing up in nineteenth-century New England. In his infancy, Alex is abandoned by his father after his mother dies in childbirth, and though the wealthy senior Morpheus supports him financially throughout his youth he is never a parent to the child. In fact, while alex is in his early school years, his father moves to England, remarries, and has another family. Alex, undaunted and even strengthened by his difficult childhood, develops into a distinguished scholar and surgeon, also marrying the daughter of an influential U.S. Senator and having two children. His father, in the meantime, is apparently associated with several heinous murders in London, a situation that inevitably draws Alex there and to a reunion with the man who abandoned him decades earlier. Written in the style of Jean-Christophe and David Copperfield, this is a story rich with surprising twists and turns, including encounters wtih actual figures of that era, such as Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.; Emily Dickinson; Dr. William Halsted; and even Jack the Ripper, giving the story a strong and intriguing historical sense.
