"<p>Much like my father, I have been drawing all my life. As a child, I suppose, it was a way subconsciously of befriending and protecting myself. As a young adult, my drawings got me into the specialty high school of Music & Art in New York. That led me later to architectural studies at MIT and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, and my career in architectural presentation in which perspectives, drawn in pen or pencil, or painted, incorporate images of people, cars, trees etc. Concurrently, I was a fashion designer which involved illustrating the collections for presentation and for advertising. Later as a documentary filmmaker I drew graphics and storyboards.</p> <p>Finally, in my current life, making stories from my fifty years of journal writing, I illustrate them, as I did in the original. I also keep dream journals, which are difficult to describe in words without drawing images. On this last point, I would like to offer advice: take time to pay attention to your dreams. In my many years in psychotherapy, dreams have been a path to my unconscious when searching for meaning.</p> <p>Drawing pulls me inside myself; I get to externalize what I experience ? I get to be transparent ? for a moment.<br> www.jangero.com</p>"

"It all began for detective Jake Jezreel with the discovery of an ancient letter. A lost, never-before-seen letter. The inscription was a message from Jake?s father from fifteen years before. Happiness and sorrow were intertwined in that note. But deep within the cipher rested a hidden menace from the dark past. The menace was a criminal only identified as Strawman. In fifteen years, where had Strawman hidden himself. Jake hadn?t a clue what had happened to Strawman. But in short order Jake Jezreel was about to find out. And he will also discover that Strawman has a much more grandiose crime in mind than all his previous penny-ante criminalities. Soon after this discovery, Jake is hired to deliver a pastoral letter for the Senior Pastor in the Jerusalem church, Pastor James. The letter would later become known as The Epistle of James. The first destination for the letter is the coastal city of Caesarea, the capital of Judea. Upon arrival, Jake encounters someone with a distant association to his past. And in the process, the detective uncovers a devious plot to assassinate one of the key personalities in the city during the Roman holiday celebration of Parilia. Time is running out. Jake is called in by the local authorities to discover and thwart the unseen, unknown perpetrators. But Jake has only a day and a half to ferret out the murderous gang before the Parilia celebration begins. There is only one mysterious note as a clue. It is signed ? Strawman."

Human contention and strife in the World today are the result of ?birth pangs? of a new paradigm. The Creative Process that was started with the initial ignition of our physical universe is a continuous series of events marked by paradigm moments; stars, life, and now us. These events unfold over millions of years. Our history dates back a mere ten thousand years. We are experiencing the birth of a new paradigm. For the first time living matter (us) can create that which did not exist before. This book views the nature of the human condition from outside the box of our physical universe. The purpose is to provide the reader with a strong sense of the way to look at the human condition. We are One People. We have more in common than is popularly communicated. This book answers the questions of why and how we have reached the current pinnacle of accomplishment. It is important to read the book one ?rung? at a time. It provides a ?ladder? to viewing Humanity from Outside the Box. Each rung can be read independently and will present concepts that will ultimately provide the answers to the why and how, but they must be digested one bite at a time.
"In 1970, Colorado Child Welfare labeled author Dianne Haaland?s future daughter as ?unadoptable? because she was a minority. In the ?70s, few people knew about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders or the Indian Child Welfare Act. All that was about to change for the family. At their first meeting, Haaland and her husband were mesmerized by a beautiful, beguiling baby girl and wanted to bring her home immediately. The final adoption occurred six months later, and they were a family of four. In Finding Pieces and Peace, Haaland shares the difficulties that arose from adopting a Native American child and managing the unknown diseases, disabling physical conditions, and the reconciliation of all participants. For years, this mother listened to the questions and inquiries: Are you sure you weren?t adopted? You don?t look like anyone in your family. Why didn?t my mother want me? This book gives a voice to foster children, adoptees, and relinquishing mothers who wanted to share their stories. Haaland and her daughter, Tanya, know they can?t change the past, but it?s not too late to help change the future. By sharing their stories, they show an alternative pathway, often trying and failing, but learning to survive through trial and error."

<p><em>The Legend of James Dean: Demonic Heroes Have Villainous Virtues</em> challenges previously conceived notions about the actor James Dean.<br /> <br />Author Derek Reeves argues that Dean was not a rebel against the establishment, and that class conflict, the need to redefine his public image, and a desire to attack Christianity prompted the men who ran the motion picture industry in the 1950s to portray the actor as a rebel against conformity of any kind.<br /> <br />Members of the postwar generation embraced Dean as a symbol of rage and rebelliousness because they believed that the thuggish characters he played reflected his essential persona. Dean&rsquo;s characterization of the tough teenager gave a sense of belonging to misdirected young people, whose adolescent rebellion stemmed from their inability to cope with societal demands during the Eisenhower era.</p> <p>The author&rsquo;s analysis of Dean&rsquo;s legend provides rare insight into the actor&rsquo;s life, viewed from a historical perspective. If you&rsquo;ve ever wondered what Dean did to earn a star on Hollywood&rsquo;s &ldquo;Walk of Fame,&rdquo; you&rsquo;ll want to read this book, which shines a spotlight on an American legend who was posthumously nominated for an Academy Award as Best Actor in a Leading Role in 1956 and 1957.</p>
