Laura R. Graham

Discourses of Immortality among the Xavante of Central Brazil

Over several centuries, the Xavante of Central Brazil have maintained an invincible sense of identity and feeling of control over historical processes, despite repeated invasions by colonists and settlers, capitalist commercial ventures, and most recently, an enormous government-sponsored agricultural project. In this discourse-centered study, Laura Graham explores how the Xavante use the ritual performance of myths and dreams to maintain their culture despite these disruptive forces. At the heart of the book is an extraordinary performance, in which a community elder tells his dream of an encounter with the creators. Graham analyzes the various components of his performance--narrative, myth-telling, song, and dance--and considers the entire community's participation in the preparations, rehearsal, and public performance of the dream, including their adaption to her presence and modern technologies. From this analysis, Graham demonstrates how the practice of myth-telling is an essential element in cultural continuity and the creation of social memory and how it also provides a kind of immortality for the myth-teller. Her findings will be of interest not only to students of South American cultures and linguistics but also to everyone intrigued by the role of myth and dreams in social life and social change.

Your Last Wakeup Call is the work of a high dimensional angelic energy that calls itself simply A.O.B. A.O.B. teaches through simple metaphors built around everyday items. Our author's role was to become aware of A.O.B.'s gentle messages, typing as they were given. Since this transmission occurred in 1994 some of the content will be dated, but the messages remain timeless. Very little editing has been done so that the reader may experience the ebb and flow of A.O.B.'s delivery. Shortly after the book was given, Connie discovered she could no longer contact A.O.B. She tried for months to find a publisher but without success. Finally she gave up, thinking perhaps the messages were just for her. Now suddenly in 2011, A.O.B. has returned and has revealed a complete name of Angelic Overlighted Beings. The publication process has flowed with ease, and Connie senses A.O.B.'s presence daily. As persons of all faiths are sensing that the fulfillment of the prophecies may be close at hand it is perhaps more important than ever that we cease our spiritual procrastination. Hopefully, this book will help.

Inside the World of Cross Dressing

J. J. Allen, a longtime cross-dresser and past president of Powder Puffs of California, one of the world's largest cross-dresser support groups, provides an insider's view of a world most of us have seen only on talk shows, yet is more widespread and complex than the public realizes. The author details the intricacies of transsexual surgery, and takes the reader on a tour of the underground sexual scene in Los Angeles, behind the closed doors of the secretive clubs and societies and into the psyche, sexuality, and social life of male cross-dressers. Readers will learn what cross-dressers talk about only among themselves. They will discover why a man who could be their neighbor owns 2,100 pairs of panties. They will find out what a marijuana-smoking man in a pair of pantyhose is doing in a hotel room with a she-male. And they will learn the nine most commonly cited reasons given by cross-dressers to explain their behavior.

Hidden Channel of the Mind

John R. Absher

Neuroimaging Personality, Social Cognition, and Character covers the science of combining brain imaging with other analytical techniques for use in understanding cognition, behavior, consciousness, memory, language, visual perception, emotional control, and other human attributes. Multidimensional brain imaging research has led to a greater understanding of character traits such as honesty, generosity, truthfulness, and foresight previously unachieved by quantitative mapping. This book summarizes the latest brain imaging research pertaining to character with structural and functional human brain imaging in both normal individuals and those with brain disease or disorder, including psychiatric disorders. By reviewing and synthesizing the latest structural and functional brain imaging research related to character, this book situates itself into the larger framework of cognitive neuroscience, psychiatric neuroimaging, related fields of research, and a wide range of academic fields, such as politics, psychology, medicine, education, law, and religion.

Discovering Your Personal Daimon

Hugh Howey

For centuries, men and women have manned lighthouses to ensure the safe passage of ships. It is a lonely job, and a thankless one for the most part. Until something goes wrong. Until a ship is in distress. In the twenty-third century, this job has moved into outer space. A network of beacons allows ships to travel across the Milky Way at many times the speed of light. These beacons are built to be robust. They never break down. They never fail. At least, they aren't supposed to.
