Women's Organizing and Public Policy in Canada and Sweden highlights the impact of women's organizing on the framing and implementing of public policy, the reconstituting of discourse, and the practices of unions, political parties, and the state. It examines the strategies women have used to organize themselves as a vocal and politicized constituency. In so doing, it stretches definitions of organizing and of political practice, politicizes the social and the private, and expands conceptions of agency. Comparing Sweden and Canada allows the mechanisms at work in each society to emerge more clearly, challenging what is often taken for granted. Contributors include Christina Bergqvist (Uppsal...
Ervin Laszlo's tour de force, What is Reality?, is the product of a half-century of deep contemplation and cutting-edge scholarship. Addressing many of the paradoxes that have confounded modern science over the years, it offers nothing less than a new paradigm of reality, one in which the cosmos is a seamless whole, informed by a single, coherent consciousness manifest in us all. Bringing together science, philosophy, and metaphysics, Laszlo takes aim at accepted wisdom, such as the dichotomies of mind and body, spirit and matter, being and nonbeing, to show how we are all part of an infinite cycle of existence unfolding in spacetime and beyond. Augmented by insightful commentary from a dozen scholars and thinkers, along with a foreword by Deepak Chopra and an introduction by Stanislav Grof, What is Reality? offers a fresh and liberating understanding of the meaning and purpose of existence.

You think you understand Rupert Sheldrake's theory of formative causation and morphic resonance? You have no idea how deep the rabbit hole goes. Sitting beneath his theory is the most extraordinary theory of all, the theory that changes everything.
"Hernando J. Abaya ... in his latest book traces the tortuous path of Philippine politics from World War II down to the Marcos years. He demonstrates how the Commander-in-Chief of the US Armed Forces in the Far East, the late General MacArthur, in effect reversed the Roosevelt-Ickes policy toward the collaborationist elite in the Philippines and placed them back in power, enabling the reactionary forces to regain control of the Philippine government and ultimately eliminate those who had in fact resisted the Japanese invaders and how, in the post war years, the liberal and nationalist-minded were hounded and tarred with the communist paintbrush with the help of American advisers and secret service agents"--Foreword.
Throughout the ages, the mysteries of what happens when we die and the nature of the human mind have fascinated us. In this collection of essays, leading scientists and authors contemplate consciousness, quantum mechanics, string theory, dimensions, space and time, nonlocal space, the hologram, and the effect of death on consciousness. Although many of these topics have traditionally been considered matters for philosophical and religious debate, advances in modern science and in particular the science of resuscitation have now enabled an objective, scientific approach--which bears widespread implications not only for science but for all of humanity.
Your mind and body are inextricably linked. Ignore your inner voice, and your body will pay the price. Ingrid Fredriksson's groundbreaking research on the link between consciousness and epigenetics was met with acclaim at a scientific conference in Tucson. Academics and independent researchers alike agreed: 'This must be shared with the world!' This book is your chance to learn more. Explore the invisible forces that shape our lives, delving into the world of epigenetics and how our genes are activated or silenced by everything from cell type and disease to physiological and psychological stimuli. This book pays special attention to the impact of emotions on health, exploring how trauma, stress, and negativity affect our well-being at the cellular level. Discover how cultivating positivity can lead to a longer, happier life. Fredriksson's groundbreaking study - likely the first of its kind - reveals the practical, everyday implications of epigenetics, demonstrating how our consciousness and emotions influence our health and well-being. This is essential knowledge for everyone, especially healthcare professionals.
Unified Field Mechanics, the topic of the 9th international symposium honoring noted French mathematical physicist Jean-Pierre Vigier cannot be considered highly speculative as a myopic critic might surmise. The 8th Vigier Symposium proceedings 'The Physics of Reality' should in fact be touted as a companion volume because of its dramatic theoretical Field Mechanics in additional dimensionality. Many still consider the Planck-scale zero-point field stochastic quantum foam as the 'basement of reality'. This could only be considered true under the limitations of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum theory. As we enter the next regime of Unified Field Mechanics we now know that the energy-dependent Einstein-Minkowski manifold called spacetime has a finite radius beyond which a large-scale multiverse beckons. So far a battery of 14 experiments has been designed to falsify the model. When the 1st is successfully performed, a revolution in Natural Science will occur! This volume strengthens and expands the theoretical and experimental basis for that immanent new age.
