Journey through the Garden presents a guide to self-improvement in the form of a metaphor about growing a garden inside oneself. It was inspired by a macabre dream that author J. B. Nelson had after her mother died. She dreamed that bloody slabs of meat with sharp, white, razor points were covering her lush green gardens. This dream was a wakeup call that indicated to her just how bloodless her life had become. The numbness that ensued after her mother''s death led her into her own private garden. Over time, she developed a process for self-improvement and growth created after listening to the guidance she was given by a greater power. This incredible journey changed her entire inner landscape. She began to experience a shift in her soul that enabled her to structure her daily life differently. After arduous months of courage and hard work, she was able to garden with an intact spirit that could once again experience joy and balance. Journey through the Garden tells the story of the incredible journey Nelson embarked upon to find wholeness and meaning in her life.

Decades ago, two vastly different races of aliens lived on planet Lempton. The Lemptions were peaceful creatures that lived in beautiful valleys, but the Vieniems were evil and hateful and perched in caves.

As they secretly coexist with humans and each other, they anxiously await the day when a hero will emerge to bring peace between the two races.Aliza just wants to skip school. Relentlessly teased by the other children about her fair skin, white hair, and furry ears, Aliza has no idea who she really is until she steps on the school bus one morning and encounters a fellow Lemp. As Zack leads Aliza off the bus and on to a journey to a new life, Aliza is soon told that she has special powers. Unbeknownst to her, Aliza is the Chosen One-the person who must defeat the evil aliens once and for all.

Volcanic Reflections: A Bilingual Anthology of Contemporary Ecuadorian Poetry is the third in a series of books that aspires to address a dearth of information in the English-speaking world about South American poetry of the past thirty years. The nineteen outstanding poets included here represent a wide diversity of themes, styles, and perspectives in one of South America's smaller nations. All of them have published extensively, have been recognized through literary awards and inclusion in national and international anthologies, and continue writing and publishing today. For readers unfamiliar with Ecuador, the Introduction provides a brief background of its geography, history, politics, economy, and society. This is followed by an ample selection of representative poems published previously in Spanish, with translations in English on facing pages. The book concludes with a brief biographical sketch of each poet and an unprecedented bibliography of primary and secondary sources for those readers who might want to pursue further reading or research on any poet of interest. Contemporary Uruguayan Poetry: A Bilingual Anthology and Exotic Territory: A Bilingual Anthology of Contemporary Paraguayan Anthology are two companion volumes that offer similar exposure to poetry that deserves to be better known in the English-speaking world.

This is a poetry book based on the simplest of life's moments, surroundings and events. It is the story of an early twentieth century woman - a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother and Grandmother who took time to enjoy the little things that happen every day. Her collection of poetry is a result of living through two world wars, a depression and wide sweeping changes to society. Her writings were done in between chores, and changing diapers - and she'd use anything handy to jot down her thoughts. Her sincere desire was to share these messages with others in hopes that they would benefit from being reminded about how special life can be when we scope out and enjoy the simple things. As a great-grandson of this talented author, M.C. Fair - I wanted to share her "Rambling Rhymes" with all who would like to uplifted by the sweet thoughts of a grandmother - when their days seems dark. This book is published in her honour - a tribute and keepsake to life's simple and special moments.

I am not against sport and related physical activity. What I am arguing is that, employed properly and correctly, exercise and sport-as one of a number of vital social forces (e.g., nationalism, ecology)-could contribute to the improvement of the current situation in human health enormously. Additionally, in the case of related physical activity (i.e., regular exercise or "physical activity education") in the developed world, I believe humans are too often "abusing it by first not understanding it, and then by not using it more intelligently"! (Ironically, in the "undeveloped world," people often get too much "exercise" just to stay alive!) Moreover, I believe that the active use of competitive sport worldwide to promote what have been called moral values, traits or attributes leading to world peace and good will, as opposed to so-called socio-instrumental values that often are overly self-serving. This would tend to create a social force of such strength and power that humankind might be helped as it confronts the social and physical devastation looming ahead. At the very least, I believe such active promotion would delay to a considerable degree the onset of what is increasingly becoming a destructive societal situation.)

Continuing from Book I (Hessian John, 19th Century Military Surgeon that ended in 1849), 32-year-old Captain Johann is an assistant surgeon who has recently returned from the Mexican War. After being chastised by Army Surgeon General Tom Lawson for criticizing poor camp-sanitation practices, he was sent on an inspection trip to camps along the Oregon Trail where cholera and other diseases were spread by Forty-Niners. In the early ''50s, his 4th Infantry Regiment was sent via Panama to Fort Vancouver where he served with Lieutenant U.S. Grant and Captain George McClellan. Still later, he roamed the gold fields to find a missing brother-in-law and to practice proper medicine among gold seekers who were poorly served by medical charlatans. In the mid-''50s, he returned to Europe, serving with the U.S. Observer Team at the Crimean War where he learned more about sanitation from Florence Nightingale. Finally, he returned to his Hessian hometown where he was again captured by his pursuers who served the Baron Horst von Biebertal.In this second of a four-book series, frontier doctor John continues on a pre-Civil War journey through mid-19th century Western America, participating in historical events that further changed his life.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Have you ever met a person that was faced with many difficult challenges in life, but still made it? If you haven't, allow me to introduce you to "Milton Lusser". Milton is from a single parent home in a housing project where drug dealing is the norm and a way of life; he was kicked out of school for his retaliation to a racial slur and almost didn't graduate; his father who he has never met or seen before just pops up one day out of the blue wanting to play daddy; and he's easily influence when it comes to making important decisions. He leaves his home in Knoxville, TN to pursue a new life and a four year Business degree from the College of Alaska in Fairbanks, AK. After a couple of years of being there he was introduced to much, much more outside of his degree then one would expect. Through his determination to fit in and be apart of the in crowd he changed his name, character, personality, and persona. Ultimately transforming himself into something he wasn't; a "Hustler". By DESTINY he experiences a lavish and successful lifestyle. He lived the life that struggling and up in-coming drug dealers can only dream of, but just like in every illegal business something always goes wrong (Snitches). In "Money, Power, and Betrayal" you will see how grimy the dope game can get from a first hand viewpoint, and how quick so called friends and love ones will turn on you. You will also get the chance to follow Milton as he chooses "The Paths that Lie Ahead" for his life.
