Original. Welcome back to Dead Broke, Colorado. Where the latest discovery—a giant boulder of zinc—sparks an all-out frenzy of greed and gunfire that rocks the Rockies to their core. . . .Ever since the silver market crashed, the mining town of Dead Broke has been awfully quiet. The local marshal—legendary gunman Duncan “Mick” MacMicking—doesn’t have much to do besides outshoot the occasional greenhorn looking to challenge him. But all this peace and quiet is about to end. After getting trapped in a cave-in, Mayor Nugget unearths a mineral to rival his famous “Hope Diamond of Silver.” He calls it the “Liberty Bell of Zinc,” a massive boulder of pure zinc carbonate. But when word of his discovery gets out, the quiet little boomtown of Dead Broke goes boom—again—with a vengeance. . . . First, a scheming banker shows up to cash in on Nugget’s prize. Then, an outlaw gang arrives to rob the bank and steal the Liberty Bell. After a blood-soaked shootout, Marshal Duncan decides he’d better get that big rock out of town before more people die. Fortunately, the mayor has received an invitation to display his zinc boulder at Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show in Chicago. There’s just one problem: getting it there without getting killed. Thanks to all the publicity, every greedy sidewinder in the West knows which train they’re taking. And once the shooting starts, this train will be dead on arrival. . . . Autorid: William W.

Psychedelic therapy will be increasingly available in the years to come, be it through FDA approval of psychedelics such as MDMA and psilocybin or by legalization of psychedelics for medical purposes. This has already started to occur in Oregon and Colorado. As a result, there is a need for an accessible book to serve as a clear and heartfelt introduction to the use of psychedelics in therapy. As a trained psychotherapist with many years of experience with psychedelics in therapy, a background in neuroscience and psychopharmacology, and experience with writing popular books, I feel I am the right person to write that book. The goal of the book is to give an introduction into the use of psychedelics in psychotherapy to laypeople, healthcare professionals, and spiritual seekers. It summarizes the current knowledge on psychedelic therapy based on neuroscience, psychopharmacology, clinical psychology, holistic medicine, anthropology, religious science and spirituality. In addition, I share my experience as a therapist using psychedelics in psychotherapy with patients suffering from severe mental disorders in order to illustrate the scientific and clinical knowledge, as well as the spiritual experiences, related to the therapeutic process. A central theme of the book is psychedelics’ capacity to enhance neuroplasticity, which refers to the brain's ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions, as well as to recover from stress and traumatic experiences. At the neuronal and the clinical levels, I show how neuroplasticity can be used to catalyze effective psychotherapy, as well as what is needed to avoid the unwanted side effects such as excessive mental openness, derealization and re-traumatization. Regarding the immediate psychological effects of psychedelics, I use the influential relaxed beliefs under psychedelics (REBUS) theory to explain the increase in mindfulness, improvement of direct sensory perception, and ego dissolution. I describe how these effects can cause mystical-type experiences, which may have spiritual significance and the power to catalyze healing. It is important to me to appreciate and explain clinical and neuroscientific findings against the background of ancient healing and spiritual traditions, such as Schematism and the Rigveda. To my knowledge, I show for the first time that the Rigveda's rich knowledge of the psychedelic Soma helps us understand and assess current psychedelic experiences in a larger context. Additionally, Jung's transpersonal psychology helps me to bridge the gap between spiritual traditions and current psychotherapy. Psychedelic therapy is becoming more accessible, with FDA approvals and legalization efforts underway. Higher Self introduces the reader to psychedelics in therapy, combining neuroscience, clinical psychology, and spirituality, while addressing neuroplasticity, mystical experiences, and practical therapeutic insights for laypeople, professionals, and spiritual seekers.

Authentic cross-cultural approaches to mental health treatment are urgently needed to restore it to its rightful place as an effective healing modality. Modern Western psychology asserts a monopoly by silencing traditional “sciences of the soul” and imposing itself on a diverse humanity, with its “one size fits all” approach. This is a hegemony that must be opposed, but the call to “decolonize” therapy is ineffective without a thorough diagnosis of what has gone wrong with psychology today. It is now apparent that we need to return to an authentic metaphysical outlook that is accepted across the wisdom traditions of the world. The reclaiming of epistemological pluralism that is grounded in the sacred provides a remedy for the modern impoverishment of psychology so that, in recognizing the fullness of what it means to be human, it can secure our true well-being.

"Samuel Bendeck Sotillos is the only psychotherapist that I know of that works from a universal and timeless ontological orientation."—Wolfgang Smith, Physicist, and Mathematician, author of Physics: A Science in Quest of an Ontology“Finally a book from a psychotherapist willing to explore the indispensable link between mental health and spirituality. Bendeck Sotillos reminds us that the essence of our well-being depends, ultimately, on being grounded in holiness, or at least in our best personal effort to cultivate spiritual virtues. Modern psychology, in its complicated quest for sanity, has tried to reinvent the wheel, when all we need to do is restore the healing sap of the heavenly circle girding human life. The author offers profound insights about traditional ways in which we can be reconciled to the timeless essence of who we really are, without which no lasting cure is possible. In doing so, he exposes the nature of modern man’s alienation from his immortal being—the root cause of all our anxiety, depression, and neuroses. To delve into this enlightening book is to rediscover the providential thread of Ariadne that leads us out of the labyrinth of ego estrangement towards the immortal source of human joy.” —Mark Perry, professional translator, author of The Mystery of Individuality: Grandeur and Delusion of the Human Condition Autorid: Samuel Bendeck Sotillos

"A powerful exploration of the books created by Jewish Holocaust survivors to honor their lost world By the close of World War II, six million Jews had been erased from the face of the earth. Those who eluded death had lost their homes, families, and entire way of life. Their response was quintessentially Jewish. From a people with a long-history of self-narration, survivors gathered in groups and wrote books, yizkor books, remembering all that had been destroyed. Jane Ziegelman's Once There Was a Town takes readers on a journey through this largely uncharted body of writing and the vanished world it depicts. Once There Was a Town resounds with the voices of rich and poor, shopkeepers and tradespeople, scholars and peddlers, Zionists and Communists, men and women telling stories of the towns that were their homes. Stops are made in the bustling market squares where Jewish merchants catered to local farmers; study houses where men recited Torah; kitchens where homemakers baked 20-pound loaves of bread; cemeteries where mourners conversed with departed loved ones and wooded groves where young couples met for the occasional moonlit tryst. Of the many towns on Ziegelman's itinerary, she always circles back to Luboml, her family's ancestral shtetl and the point of departure for her own journey of discovery. In conversation with classics by IB Singer and Roman Vishniac, Once There Was a Town is a landmark of rediscovery, and a love song to a vanished world"-- Provided by publisher.

Wife Mother Drunk is an intergenerational memoir recounting the author's harrowing struggle with alcoholism, tracing it back through her ancestry to the times of the pioneers when the seeds of trauma were first planted, long before they overtook her otherwise loving life.Wife Mother Drunk is a rare feat in the now infamous genre of "quit lit" - it eschews much of the usual rhetoric around rock bottoms and happy endings to offer a far more stark and realistic view of addiction and the road to healing. After having her fourth and last baby, Emily Redonodo found herself in rehab with a breast pump and a five-week old at home. On the surface, she looked like every other suburban mom, replete with dance bags and mini van, but inside, she was in a harrowing dance with alcoholism, drinking from morning until night, stealing alcohol from liquor stores, and finding herself arrested for a DUI with a four-year old in the backseat. Wife Mother Drunk tells the story of Emily's decades-long battle against her disease while also confronting generations of inherited trauma and addiction. As she writes, "I come from pioneers." In this incredible book, Emily investigates those dusty-earth roots to understand how women process trauma, heartbreak, and centuries of putting their children before their own well-being. As Emily untangles the web of female addiciton in her own family line, she uncovers all the ways her life has become the ultimate consequence of others' unhealed trauma. This is a book like few others on addiction, in that Emily doesn't just wake up sober one day. After twenty institutions, all while being a stay-at-home mom raising her children, Emily walks an awkward yet gentle road towards recovery, even as she is forced to face the consequences of her own trauma, through heart-breaking diagnoses and her long-term neurolofical damage caused by alcohol. Wife Mother Drunk is a searing, heartbreaking portrait of a woman caught in the grips of addiction but also a mother whose greatest hope is the love for her children. Autorid: Emily Redondo

From his early work with The Birthday Party to the future sounds of Ghosteen, Nick Cave has rewritten the language of rock ‘n’ roll.Darker with the Dawn uncovers the history and deeper meanings behind Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds’ most well-known songs from “Tupelo”, “The Mercy Seat”, “Red Right Hand”, “Stagger Lee”, “Into My Arms”, to “Higgs Boson Blues” and beyond. The book explores Nick Cave’s life in music drawing upon his inspirations of the Bible, Greek myth, and literature, as well as his enduring passion for gospel, blues, and progressive rock. Steiner reflects upon Cave's journey from his childhood in Australia, struggles with drug addiction, his young fascination with the nightmare landscapes of America's wild west and the southern gothic towards a reckoning with his own sense of Christian spirituality. In a career spanning four decades Cave's songwriting has moved from the saints and sinners of the traditional murder ballad to piano-based heartbreak songs, deconstructed garage rock and ambient fever dreams delivered through minimalist electronica. Adam Steiner dives into the world of a complex songwriter who, in his universal expressions of love and death, continues to speak to us of the light and shade of humanity. Autorid: Adam Steiner

"Uncovers the ancient Egyptian origin and magical power of the runes"-- Provided by publisher. Uncovers the ancient Egyptian origin and magical power of the runes• Reveals the lineage of the runes by tracing their historical journey from Egyptian hieroglyphs through the Semitic Phoenician language to northern Europe• Draws on stories of the Norse sagas to show the runes’ spiritual attributes by looking at the physical characteristics of the objects that represent them• Illustrates the initiatory nature of the runes and how they, like Egyptian hieroglyphs, reveal mysteries of passage through life, death, and the afterlifeThis book reveals the “alphabet secrets” encoded in the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and traces their journey to the frozen north, where they came to be known as the runes—twenty-four magical symbols, each with their own unique story and power.The author illustrates the evolution of the runes and how they became not only an alphabet for communication but a spiritual portal to enlightenment. Drawing on Norse sagas and runic poems, the author reveals the spiritual and divinatory attributes of each rune by looking at the physical characteristics of the objects chosen to represent them. According to the author, “In addition to the gift of an alphabet, each symbol represents a secret taught to a few initiates through trade guilds” that moved over Phoenician trading routes. The meaning of “rune” is secret. The author also shows how the magical properties of runes are demonstrated through mythological tales. Just as we see in the Egyptian Book of the Dead, or Spells of Coming Forth by Day, these secrets were taught to initiates to reveal mysteries of passage through life, death, and the afterlife. More than an alphabet, the runes contain the promise of a return to the light.As a work of magical scholarship and history, this book provides a multifaceted perspective on the linguistic, magical, and historical nature of the runes and their roots in ancient Egypt.

Discover the roots of Norse and Irish Pagan spirituality• Explores the syncretism of Gaelic and Norse cultures and the spirituality that flourished while the Vikings were settled in Ireland• Examines the roots of Norse and Irish heathenism, including ancestor veneration and a relationship with household and nature spirits• Reveals the Gaelic involvement in Iceland’s settlement, including Irish incantations in Icelandic grimoires and Norse-Gaelic ghosts that appear in Icelandic literatureDyflin, now modern Dublin, was founded by the Vikings in the 9th century. Through archaeological and historical research, the author explores connections between Celtic/Gaelic and Norse spiritualties of the time and, by reconstructing local customs and beliefs, reveals how this cultural relationship still informs Paganism today.Scholar and Pagan practitioner, Annie Humphrey, shows that Norse and Irish heathen beliefs were uncorrupted by Roman influence and ultimately syncretized to form a set of deeply spiritual practices. This unique set of practices cannot truly be considered a religion. Rather, it was a very flexible and highly regional worldview that involved veneration of ancestors and the dead and enjoyed a transactional relationship with household and nature spirits. This book follows the spread of this unique Paganism through Northern Europe and the North Atlantic, identifying Norse settlements in areas that popular history has misidentified as purely Gaelic or Anglo-Saxon. Annie reveals Gaelic influence in the settling of Iceland and shows its presence in magical and spiritual practices of the time. The author also looks at Irish incantations from Icelandic grimoires and shows how Norse influences reshaped Irish writing. Exploring Manx folklore and magical traditions of the Isle of Man, and remote areas like the Orkneys, this book reveals the presence of this Pagan synthesis in modern folkways and practices that have gone largely unnoticed by mainstream scholarship.Combining expert scholarly discipline with personal gnosis, Norse-Gaelic Paganism brings ancient traditions and wisdom to the contemporary practitioner.

Too many of our convictions about the fifty-four nations of Africa come from non-African sources. Western media often treat the continent as a simulacrum of Western anxieties. In contrast, Jeremy Harding focuses on specific historical episodes and cultural practices - cinema, art, ethnography and journalism - to steer us away from treacherous generalisations. Analogue Africa celebrates the ingenuity with which African artists - and a handful of Europeans - have reimagined the colonial encounter and voiced their impatience with white minority rule. Among his illustrious cast of filmmakers, photographers, writers and painters are Seydou Keïta, Sanlé Sory, Ernest Cole, Sarah Maldoror, John Akomfrah, William Kentridge and Binyavanga Wainaina. Harding argues that Western museums with priceless African holdings - the British Museum, the Musée du Quai Branly, the Royal Museum of Central Africa in Belgium - are now the sites of a struggle over the colonial past, adding the latest chapter to an unfinished history.

A gripping narrative of federal workers caught in Trump’s second-term purge, and the devastating consequences for American democracy. American Carnage follows eleven federal workers, in eight government agencies, from the time they were told they were fired in the early weeks of Donald Trump’s second presidential administration through to the summer of 2025. With Trump having empowered the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, and his Department of Government Efficiency, to make dramatic cuts to many of the country’s most important agencies, what unfolded in these months was a cascading tragedy of historic proportions. Their stories, which show a country in a profound moment of crisis and dislocation, are America’s stories. What happened to them—the bullying, the intimidation, the deliberate removal of financial stability—also happened to hundreds of thousands of other employees. A fierce reckoning with the intimate and far-reaching effects of these layoffs, both on the individuals who lost their jobs and on the millions of Americans who found their access to basic government services curtailed, American Carnage is the first book-length account of how these cuts dulled and denuded our city on the hill, leaving a morally impoverished landscape in their wake.
