Elena Evanovich, an aspiring writer, is an emotionally broken woman struggling with her creativity. She is paralyzed with fear following multiple brushes with death, including two bouts with cancer and a near-fatal climbing accident. Alone and without answers, she casts about for meaning and inspiration. One night, as Elena drifts into welcome sleep, she is visited by Jim, a spirit sent from above and straight out of the sixties. He is a former rock star and poet who is sent to Elena to help her, while atoning for his own wild living. On a return trip from Las Vegas, Elena finds a book that Jim has planted for her on the plane. This book helps Elena find techniques to still her mind and to open up to the possibility of contact with spirit guides. With her mind now fully open, Jim makes his presence known to her. The two begin to converse regularly, and Jim becomes a source of strength and peace in Elenas tumultuous life. Through Jim, Elena meets her guardian angels, and together, they sift through her past. Along the journey, Elena is briefly reunited with her dead sister. Through their relationship and discussions, Elena finds the courage to face her fears about death, to go through reconstructive surgery after a radical mastectomy, and to write again with a newfound voice.

But she is also a very accomplished poet. Poetry and physics dance in this collection, inspired by metaphors drawn from chaos theory and quantum mechanics.

From the strange attractor who disrupts life's laminar flow to the mysteries of sensitive dependence and hurricane in space/time. Dancing with Chaos links science and poetry in a passionate tango.

She has won a number of prizes, including the Friends of Literature Award for poetry and the Alaska State Fellowship for poetry and fiction.
A “deeply spiritual and socially radical” (Dr. Obery Hendricks, PhD) guide to uplift our spirits as we work for justice in these politically turbulent times—from Reverend Otis Moss, III, Senior Pastor at Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ and one of the country’s most renowned and beloved spiritual and civil rights leaders. Once again, as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. first observed in the 1960s, it is midnight in America—a dark time of division and anxiety, with threats of violence looming in the shadows. In 2008, the Trinity United Church in Chicago received threats when one of its parishioners, Senator Barack Obama, ran for president. “We’re going to kill you” rang in Reverend Otis Moss’s ears when he suddenly heard a noise in the middle of the night. He grabbed a baseball bat to confront the intruder in his home. When he opened the door to his daughter’s room, he found that the source of the noise was his own little girl, dancing. She was simply practicing for her ballet recital. At that moment, Pastor Moss saw that the real intruder was within him. Caught in a cycle of worry and anger, he had allowed the darkness inside. But seeing his daughter evoked Pslam 30: “You have turned my mourning into dancing.” He set out to write the sermon that became this inspiring and transformative book. Dancing in the Darkness is a “life-affirming” (Dr. Teresa L. Fry Brown) guide to the practical, political, and spiritual challenges of our day. Drawing on the teachings of Dr. King, Howard Thurman, sacred scripture, southern wisdom, global spiritual traditions, Black culture, and his own personal experiences, Dr. Moss instructs you on how to practice spiritual resistance by combining justice and love. This collection helps us tap into the spiritual reserves we all possess but too often overlook, so we can slay our personal demons, confront our civic challenges, and reach our highest goals.

The fifth book in New York Times-bestselling Seanan McGuire's witty urban fantasy InCryptid series about a family of cryptozoologists who act as a buffer between humans and the magical creatures living in secret around us. "The only thing more fun than an October Daye book is an InCryptid book." —Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Sookie Stackhouse series Destiny, Noun: 1. The inevitable or irresistible course of events. 2. The inescapable future. 3. See also “Screwed.” Verity Price is back on the West Coast and getting back into the swing of the family business: cryptozoology. She's rescuing cryptids from bad situations, protecting them from monster-hunters, and generally risking life and limb for the greater good, with her ex-Covenant partner/husband, Dominic, by her side. Her ballroom dance career is behind her...or so she thinks. When Verity gets the call from the producers of Dance or Die, the reality show she almost won several years before, she finds the lure of a comeback impossible to resist, and she and Dominic are off to L.A. for one last shot at the big time. Of course, nothing is that simple. When two of her fellow contestants turn up dead, Verity will need every ally she can find—and a couple she wasn't looking for—in order to navigate the complicated steps of both the tango and a murder investigation without blowing her cover. It doesn't help that her official family backup is her grandmother, Alice Price-Healy, who thinks "subtle" is something that happens to other people. Winning this competition may have just become a matter of life and death.

Dancing at Armageddon by Richard G. Mitchell Jr. Pdf
Winner of the Charles H. Cooley Award from the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction. Richard G. Mitchell Jr. spent more than a dozen years among survivalists at public conferences, private meetings, and clandestine training camps across America. He takes us inside a compelling, hidden world more connected to the chaos of modern life many of us experience than the label "separatist" suggests. In survivalism Mitchell found a profound and meaningful critique of contemporary industrial society, a subculture in which the real evil is not repressive government but the far more insidious influence of a "Planet Microsoft" mentality with its abundance of empty choices. Survivalists, Mitchell shows us, are seeking resistance, not struggling against it; they are looking for ways to define themselves and test their talents in a society that is becoming devitalized and formless.
This book reviews the complex adaptive systems and their geometric hallmarks in the nature. It discusses the emergence of life and debates the related proposed hypotheses. It examines the process of evolution and the roles that chance and necessity might play. It talks about the development of sex at the expense of immortality and reviews programmed cell death (apoptosis) and its role on the embryonic growth and other biological processes, such as development of cancer. It examines the scientific evidence of the origin of modern humans. Evidence that shows we are all closely related, and share far more genetic similarities than the 'racial' phenotypic features such as skin color, hair texture or the shapes of our nose or lips. It reviews the enormous environmental and socioeconomic problems we are facing today and reminds us that we are all in this together, and only steady collective and collaborative global efforts would be able to solve the worldwide problems.
