Amazon.com Review
Timothy Leary, high priest of psychedelia and former Harvard psychologist, spent decades enthusiastically investigating the meaning of life with the boundary-breaking, consciousness-expanding assistance of hallucinogenic drugs. It seems only natural that when "Mademoiselle Cancer moved in to share [his] body," he seized the opportunity to examine the nature of death ... and throw a big party. He didn't, as threatened, commit suicide on the Net or have his head cut off and frozen, but instead surrounded himself with good friends at an extended wake in his Beverly Hills home, where he drifted peacefully away. In Design for Dying, his newly released book, Leary shows people how to die happily and well. "There are common-sense, easy-to-understand options for dealing planfully, playfully, compassionately, and elegantly with the inevitable final scene," he states. "Face it. At this point in human history, we're all terminal. It behooves us to focus some time and energy and courage on regaining personal and group autonomy over the dying process.... Talking about death is the last taboo in our society. And as we've learned, the way to overcome taboo is pretty straightforward. As the man says, 'Just Do It!'" The book includes contributions from R. U. Sirius of cyberculture magazine Mondo 2000; a guide to death and dying resources, online tools, and further reading lists; and an addendum of "Timothy Leary's Dying Performance as Remembered by His Friends." Timothy Leary vowed to "give death a better name or die trying," and Design for Dying attempts to do just that. Irreverent, original, and funny as ever, Timothy Leary urges us to face death with courage and joy, if not with laughing gas and a lava lamp.

Product Description
Through creative interpretation of Genesis, Exodus, Isaiah, and Samuel, Dr. Cohen examines the fourteen places in the Bible where this powerful word is used. He shows in each biblical moment what the particular Hineini can teach modern readers about themselves and their willingness to respond to the "other"--be that God, their family members, or simply other human beings. Extraordinary scholars and spiritual leaders share personal stories that exemplify each one of the Hineini pasages. These inspiring vignettes remind us that our responses to other people can have a force that positively affects our relationships and the world in which we live, and the shape of the world yet to unfold. Contributors include:
Alan Dershowitz

Product Description
This exhaustive study of previously classified files concludes that there is more to UFO sightings than the military claims. After investigating Project Blue Book files, the Air Force's UFO study, journalist Kevin Randel found some 4,000 unexplained cases. The author of "The October Scenario" and "The UFO Casebook", Randel has been studying the UFO phenomenon for more than 20 years.

Amazon.com Review
Kevin Randle, a well-known investigator of the Center for UFO Studies, analyses cases from "Project Blue Book," a 22-year long U.S. Air Force study of the UFO phenomenon that ended soon after the 1967 Condon Committee report assessed that the military study of UFOs was unwarranted. Focusing on facts that don't match the official explanation, Randle proposes that the Condon Committee was incorrect: he argues that "Project Blue Book" was not a waste of time and that it actually provided evidence proving the existence of UFOs.
