This is a rather unusual book by Peter Rogers, the advertising agency executive who created the long-running series of magazine ads featuring famous people wearing Blackglama fur coats. These advertisements—photographed by fashion icons like Bill King and Richard Avedon--feature such subjects as Marlene Dietrich, Lillian Hellman, Liza Minnelli, Mary Martin, and Ethel Merman. Each is accompanied by Mr. Rogers’s recollections of the photo shoots, and the reactions of said celebrities during same. The celebs were paid with the fur coats they modeled, which seems a square deal. Who among them thought it was a truly fair trade?
This third edition of a successful, established text provides a concise and well-illustrated introduction to the ideas behind, and the practices flowing from the notion of sustainable development.

This book unlocks many of the mysteries held throughout ancient times by introducing the reader to concepts and beliefs predating organized religion. Universal Truth is an expose of hidden knowledge and truths practiced by adepts and spiritual masters since the beginning of time as we know it. In this book, Dr. Rogers researches countless subjects dealing with metaphysical teachings to help readers gain a better understanding of the world in which live and the laws that govern it.

You wont believe what's been hidden from you by the Church, the world governments and the powers that be. This is truly a masterpiece and a cornucopia of light for the ardent seeker of wisdom.

With the boundaries of place softened and extended by digital communications technologies, learning in a networked society necessitates new distributions of activity across time, space, media, and people; and this development is no longer exclusive to formally designated spaces such as school classrooms, lecture halls, or research laboratories.

Thomas is widely considered as one of the twentieth-century’s greatest English language poets. His bitter yet beautiful collections on Wales, its landscape, people and identity, reflect a life of political and spiritual asceticism.
