In A Barefoot Doctor’s Guide for Women, Georgette Delvaux, DC, focuses on hormonal health explaining in a conversational tone how issues related to menstruation, pre-menopause, and menopause can begin as mere annoyances and gradually develop into major problems that affect both body and mind. She describes the harmful late effects of treating hormonal imbalances with artificial hormones—a popular practice—and introduces Thermography, the exciting but still little-known method of detecting dangerous changes in breast tissue. With spirit and intelligence, Dr. Delvaux takes on these and other often-taboo topics, encourages women to trust subtle changes in their own sensations, and helps them understand both alternative and conventional medicine.

Allegations that widespread voter fraud is threatening to the integrity of American elections and American democracy itself have intensified since the disputed 2000 presidential election. The claim that elections are being stolen by illegal immigrants and unscrupulous voter registration activists and vote buyers has been used to persuade the public that voter malfeasance is of greater concern than structural inequities in the ways votes are gathered and tallied, justifying ever tighter restrictions on access to the polls. Yet, that claim is a myth.In The Myth of Voter Fraud, Lorraine C. Minnite presents the results of her meticulous search for evidence of voter fraud. She concludes that that while voting irregularities produced by the fragmented and complex nature of the electoral process... Less

In the last decade, incompetent leadership has done more to change the face of our world than perhaps in any other time in history....

Imagine having the ability to take normal tap water and turn it into an antioxidant with a negative ORP (oxidation reduction potential) (or charge), which retards the aging process. Put simply, a high ORP increases oxidation and therefore aging. The negative charge, or ORP, of Ionized Water literally retards the aging process by counteracting this high ORP. Ionized Water essentially renews us at a cellular level. This is as close as we can ever hope to get to a Fountain of Youth, as incredible as that may sound. For instance, fresh, raw vegetables have a negative ORP. Although we can only consume so many vegetables in a day, we can drink as much Ionized Water as we want as long as we don t drink more than one liter per hour and don t drink water with our meals. Many people drink as much... Less

The President's Daughter is the heart warming story of an innocent young girl who became pregnant and gave birth to a child whose father happened to be the President of the United States. No. This is not a tawdry fable. This is fact. The President was Warren G. Harding who then died suddenly. Some say he was murdered. Her book is great. In Chapter 18 she describes how on July 30, 1917 she finally lost her virginity to the future president after a long courtship, in a New York City hotel on 30th Street overlooking Broadway. Only moments after the intercourse had been completed, the New York City Vice Squad broke down the door. Harding was forced to identify himself. When the police realized that their target, Warren G. Harding, was a United States Senator (he was not yet president), the... Less

Robert Redford focuses on the chaotic moment in history directly following President Lincoln's assassination to tell the story of the proud mother charged with committing the monumental crime, and the ambitious young lawyer who reluctantly becomes her defense attorney. The Civil War has ended, and upon returning home, Union War hero Frederick Aiken (James McAvoy) endeavors to enter the world of politics by establishing himself as a lawyer. Though a high-society ball provides Aiken with the unique opportunity to gain an audience with standing Secretary of War Edwin Stanton (Kevin Kline), history intervenes when John Wilkes Booth fires the fateful bullet that ends the president's life. The nation is soon engulfed in turmoil as a massive manhunt for Booth's collaborators commences, leading... Less

Increasingly, top executives view supply markets as sources of competitive advantage and as means of achieving strategic objectives. Procurement is the management activity that makes this happen, and this process depends on a superior risk management capability if it is be effective. Yet, despite its importance, Procurement Risk Management is surprisingly under-developed. Recent Global Risk surveys have pinpointed Supply Chain Vulnerability as one of the four key global risks for the next decade. What is less well known is that this is only half of the story...risk exposures also exist inside the company and can be just as damaging. No company is an island; it needs suppliers as well as customers. Conventional wisdom puts great emphasis on managing certain aspects of business such as... Less

Belletrist and social observer Theodore H. White made an indelible impact on history in 1960, with his tome THE MAKING OF THE PRESIDENT. The recipient of a Pulitzer Price, the book offered the public a new level of insight into the U.S. political machine that instantly caught on, and set the standard for years to follow. Producer David L. Wolper then adapted White's work into a series of televised documentary specials, each one chronicling an election. This box set includes three of those specials: one from 1960 (on the Kennedy-Nixon race), another from 1964 (on the Johnson- Goldwater race), and a third from 1968 (on the Humphrey-Nixon-Wal lace race). Each of the specials observes intimate moments between the candidates and their staff members, captures the tension of the races, and much... Less

Century Concepts President Lincoln Photo brings the history home to your walls... complete with Eagle button relic. Click image to enlarge... The war to preserve the Union comes alive once again. As the Union North reeled from Gen. Robert E. Lee's invasion of Maryland, Abraham Lincoln looked to Gen. John McClellan and the army of the Potomac to stop the Confederate advance that was now within striking distance of Washington. The battle of Antietam was bloody and savage - 23,000 soldiers killed, wounded or missing after twelve hours of combat on September 17, 1862. But the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia's first invasion into the North had been halted and the victory enabled Lincoln to release his Emancipation Proclamation.

The 2000 presidential election underscored the reality that outcomes in presidential contests do not necessarily follow from the votes cast by American voters. Under the Electoral College, a range of outcomes is possible, and what once might have seemed utterly remote now is clearly possible. Alexander Belenky has focused directly on what he calls extreme outcomes of our presidential elections. This topic is understudied and underanalyzed. He makes a real contribution in a timely way. -Dr. Norman Ornstein, CBS election analyst, American Enterprise Institute Sometimes it takes an "outsider's eye" to see the U.S. political system clearly, and Alexander Belenky's analysis of the presidential election system holds several remarkable surprises for me.

First-passage properties underlie a wide range of stochastic processes, such as diffusion- limited growth, neuron firing, and the triggering of stock options. This book provides a unified presentation of first-passage processes, which highlights its interrelations with electrostatics and the resulting powerful consequences. The author begins with a modern presentation of fundamental theory including the connection between the occupation and first-passage probabilities of a random walk, and the connection to electrostatics and current flows in resistor networks. The consequences of this theory are then developed for simple, illustrative geometries including the finite and semi-infinite intervals, fractal networks, spherical geometries and the wedge. Various applications are presented... Less
