The Second Coming
On 5/2/2000, you are writing The Resurrection of Noah, which is about "how life works," how the birth and death of souls works, and what the "Bibles" say about reincarnation. Based on many verses in the Qur'an and the Bible, you have a suspicion that the Prophet Muhammad may be the reincarnation of Moses. You plan a meditation session, (a "conscious," though immobile state) to research the matter. And you carefully formulate the question that you will ask. You successfully go into meditation. And you experience this: First, there are the sights and sounds of mighty, swirling winds, and sand, in the desert. Then, the sands morph into a face! "Is Prophet Muhammad the reincarnation of Moses?" You ask. The winds stop swirling, and the sands stand still. "Of course," it says. And you are amazed! In June, 2008, you have a dream indicating that Barack Obama is the reincarnation...

Portsmouth Virginia
African Americans in Portsmouth built a strong, insulated community because they were cognizant of the need to look inward. Whether assisting the pre-Civil War escapes through the Underground Railroad, forming banks, publishing a newspaper, or providing recreational facilities, Portsmouth's African Americans created one of the most stable middle-class black communities in America. Early 20th-century leaders such as Dr. William Reid, Nancy T. Wheeler, and the Reverend Harvey N. Johnson Sr. were civic models and guiding forces for a community emerging from the ravages of slavery, and enduring the hardships of segregation. Black America: Portsmouth, Virginia captures the world of an ever-changing community and a people who persevered, no matter the odds.
Emperor and Ancestor
This book summarizes twenty years of the author's work in historical anthropology and documents his argument that in China, ritual provided the social glue that law provided in the West. The book offers a readable history of the special lineage institutions for which south China has been noted and argues that these institutions fostered the mechanisms that enabled south China to be absorbed into the imperial Chinese state—first, by introducing rituals that were acceptable to the state, and second, by providing mechanisms that made group ownership of property feasible and hence made it possible to pool capital for land reclamation projects important to the state. Just as taxation, defense, and recognition came together with the emergence of powerful lineages in the sixteenth century, their disintegration in the late nineteenth century signaled the beginnings of a new Chinese state.
Eugene Kinckle Jones
A leading African American intellectual, Eugene Kinckle Jones (1885–1954) was instrumental in professionalizing black social work in America. Jones used his position was executive secretary of the National Urban League to work with social reformers advocating on behalf of African Americans and against racial discrimination. He also led the Urban League's efforts at campaigning for equal hiring practices and the inclusion of black workers in labor unions, and promoted the importance of vocational training and social work. Drawing on interviews with Jones's colleagues and associates, as well as recently opened family and Urban League archives, Felix L. Armfield blends biography with an in-depth discussion of the roles of black institutions and organizations. The result is a work that offers new details on the growth of African American communities, the evolution of African American life, and the role of black social workers in the years before the civil rights era.
Mt. Tam
"Mt. Tam": is an action adventure thriller about a natural disaster. Four hundred years ago, 38 miles off the coast of California, part of the Juan De Fuca plate was subducted under the North American plate. The cataclysmic forces from that event caused Mt. Tamalpais, in exclusive Marin County, to become an active volcano. No evidence remains from those early eruptions because the mountain is cloaked by an overgrowth of vegetation. The memories of the events are all but forgotten through time and Mt. Tam became dormant. Few if any residents living in the cities and towns in the shadow of the giant even knew its history. That is, until a warm day in May when a class of 24 high school students...
